The shiny and brand new 2017. is just a few hours apart and all I can do is smile because, regardless of what you'll remember this year by - the celebration of New Year's Ever represents a clean new start. A new beginning for everything you intend it to be.
December 21st marked the winter solstice. Late dawn. Early sunset. Short day. Long night. I'm the first person to admit that the darkness around this time of year makes it hard for us to function. Have you noticed that we seem to wake up in the dark, go to work in the dark and go home in the dark? Despite nature telling us it's time to hibernate, I have a few tricks up my sleeve for getting through these dark days and nights.
As we're approaching the New Year's Eve fast, I feel as confident as ever to say that this is perhaps my favorite holiday collection of the year! L'Occitane NEW Arlesienne collection is nothing short of miraculous as it managed to top the previous Arlesienne, which was also amazing. Everything is likable from the packaging, the textures, colors to the beautiful scent. I think they've nailed rose this time and made it so enjoyable and wearable that I'm sure it'll find a way to everyone's heart.
I hope you're reading this whilst in your softest pajamas in bed, or bundled up on the sofa with your favorite beverage in hand and best Christmas movie on TV.
Holiday season definitely brings a rush of excitement and buzz, everyone's rushing to get presents, work is being round up for the year's end and traffic is horrific. But when all of that passes and the end of December becomes real, things become more chilled, relaxed and calm. It's actually the perfect time to reminisce and re-evaluate.
