CHRISTMAS IN OCTOBER

October 3, 2020

Leave a Comment

Ho! Ho! Ho!

{Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock!}

Busy packing, gifts, and treats are piling, and nothing beats the most exciting season of the year! 

We are just adapting to the new reality. Now the last quarter of the year is yet to come. The smell of the pine trees, twinkling lights, Christmas-themed interiors to a long list of names awaits to be labelled. We celebrate Christmas together with the people important to us, those who are away and from the other side. The joy it brings, warm our hearts, and a toast for a year that is full of twists and turns. 

Have you listed down your plans? What to buy? Where to go? 

Let us get started!

10 Things to Prepare before Christmas (even though it is October)

1.​Clean the house 

Preparing for the décors and arrangements will mean new space for bits and pieces. It is essential to plan the themed-interiors with a clean and ample place to hang those Christmas lights and lanterns.

2.​Where to spend the holiday

Invitations, family reunions, and special occasions combine as one when spending it with family. Good to know that we book that ticket ahead and plan if we are going out of town to avoid the rush and offloads.

3.​Consider budget and what to buy

When buying things at this moment, it is advisable to have a list of what to purchase and needed for the preparation. Many people are being smacked with left and right SALE, spending here and there without ticking the essentials. Get that pen and paper ready to start listing until the budget works for you.

4.​Buy or build a gingerbread house

A fun way for a family-bonding event, make this or buy a gingerbread house that is edible(of course). Kids would not resist taking it down until it drops. Cookies are best-shared goodies.

5.​Check used décor and recycle

Open that boxes where we hid all of them a year ago. Learn to innovate and recycle. Call the kids and the man of the house to participate in some retouch or repaint, one way to cut some expenses and save it. Do not limit hallways, windows, doors, or even sidewalks from being decorated with beautiful lights. It is good to decorate our souls with the true Christmas spirit, too.

6.​Wear a Santa hat or Christmas-inspired attire

It reminds us of our childhood days that when holidays are around the corner, we thought Santa Clause is coming to give us our most wanted presents. Wearing something like this is more fun!

7.​Make a playlist

Playing your favourites and the best Christmas songs you created is more appreciated. Imagine while having a sip a cup of tea under when snowing outside, that feel-good and groovy vibes. I love anything by Celine Dion and Bruce Springsteen for Christmas! My very first-holiday fashion show at 16, I dashed down the runway to Bruce Springsteen’s Merry Christmas Baby and I’ve been hooked since!   I can name some for suggestions: 

-​All I want for Christmas is You

-​Silent Night

-​Last Christmas

-​Jingle Bell Rock

8.​Create DIY postcards

A heart-warming greeting card will go a long way to carry those sweet messages. Grab your art kit and stick those arts and crafts. Cut-outs will do, as long as your creativity goes beyond.

9.​Choose one family (not related to you) whom you may surprise for a Christmas pot luck

The true meaning of Christmas is sharing and giving. People would be happier when they least expected of some neighbourhood generosity.

10.​List your season goals and personal goals

Prepare ourselves for this holiday season not just with all the list of the things we should do but it is more important if we put more effort into what our heart desires. Do we want to bring our family together? Have we thought of fixing some misunderstandings? Or maybe looking up to some changes we wanted to achieve so that as the new year starts, a whole new beginning is a new life worth living.

Indeed, busy is the most useful words at this moment even we are prepared for everything. While we are all talking about these, let’s have a glimpse at what is it like in other places Christmas is celebrated.

….And the countdown begins, 85 days to go before Christmas!

There are different Christmas traditions and ways how to celebrate it in different countries. Bringing every family and all the people enjoy the moment while having sumptuous food, exchanging presents, and giving warm hugs to each person we love.

Start of NFL is the start of the holidays!

In the United States, Thanksgiving in November marks the official holiday season while in Italy, decorations are being displayed on the 8th day of December. It is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. As English Christmas tradition preceded also early in December where advent calendars and candles count down the days to Christmas Eve. Trees, houses, backyards were dressed and decorated. Traditionally, on the 24th, Father Christmas visits down chimneys to leave a special gift for children that are on the “good” list. Turkey is the centrepiece during dinner. Along with the games and excitements, a Queen’s Speech comes at 3 pm on Christmas Day.

In Malta, the night of Christmas is celebrated by placing a figure of Jesus on the main altar to act as a central focus for the event, and this tradition continues with three Magi figures placed in the crib at Epiphany. During lunchtime, Maltese enjoy the traditional gatherings, famous for the sheer amount of food. Indulge and spend a wonderful dinner with the largest capon roasted with vegetables and potatoes followed by the Treacle Ring and washed down with hot Chestnut and Chocolate beverage.

Every 1st day of September, in the Philippines, radio stations play Christmas songs which Filipinos believes is the start of the holiday season. People celebrate the formal Christmas season on the 16thof December where they go to the first of nine pre-dawn or early morning masses and last until the Christmas day.

BEST GIFT IDEAS FOR HOLIDAYS!

How about a Christmas wish list (include mine )? It is a better way of making someone smile is when you saw your name in that gift under the Christmas tree. Buy that perfect personalized present for someone you love. Make sure to keep your list complete.

Here are the best gift ideas that you may consider giving which may be on someone’s wish list, too! (mine is #16)

2.​Herschel Supply Sutton Duffle Bag

3.​Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets & Advice For Living Your Best Life by Ali Wong

⁣
I’m so excited to share this brand with you guys. Thank you Elina for sharing them with me!⁣
⁣
We know that beauty is more than skin deep and that a person is much more than a physical body. Our well being requires mental clarity, positive emotions, whole food and a clean environment. By taking a "whole-listic" approach to our health and personal care, we can continuously feel and look our best, care more about our resources and help create a harmonious life for all. ⁣
⁣
 The results of Elina products are found on thousands of faces. They’re documented in the testimonials of happy, loyal customers; and validated by the recommendations of dermatologists, plastic surgeons and other medical professionals. Elina products produce visible, remarkable results: healthy skin, radiant, supple, luminous; clear and free of acne, discoloration, and premature aging. They also produce intangible but equally important results: like confidence, assurance, and the peace of mind that comes from using products that work in harmony with your body. Thus, Elina products are pure; they contain no chemical additives that have damaging side effects or disrupt other organs and functions. Elina products are hypo-allergenic and pH balanced. They are never tested on animals.⁣
⁣
Elina plucks core ingredients from organic suppliers that span the globe: Sea buckthorn oil is wild-crafted from a virtually untouched ecological environment in Siberia; lavender hails from French farms; roses, and rose oils are sourced from Bulgaria; and calendula is gathered stateside.  Even sunflower phospholipids are certified organic to ensure zero genetic modification. ”I’m very particular about ingredients, and I prefer wild-crafted botanicals,” says owner Elina Fedotova, “But if an ingredient is rare or protected, I obtain it through organics farms.”⁣

What’s better than fabulous skincare & Chanel on What’s better than fabulous skincare & Chanel on your wedding day?⁣
⁣
A fabulous skincare brand!!! That’s what! I’m loving this fabulous line sent to me by Kristin Voss, Founder of KVOSS™.⁣
⁣
NOT JUST ANOTHER ORGANIC SKIN LINE!⁣
⁣
Our skin acts more as a sponge than a barrier. Whatever you put ON your skin actually goes INTO your bloodstream faster than if you ate it. (That's crazy!) With so many skincare products available hyped by overwhelming marketing and exaggerated ingredients, it leaves one wondering if any of them actually help one feel cared for or really work?⁣
⁣
Kristen spent most of her time learning, learning, and learning some more-about the science behind healthy skin care. She ordered some organic ingredients and mixed different lotions in her small NYC kitchen. After countless hours of trial and error, she perfected a sampling of different lotions. The results were amazing! They were the most nourishing and hydrating lotions she had ever used and her skin was glowing. (Mine is too now) More importantly, her creations were safe. Kristin shared her knowledge and homemade products with friends, and immediately she knew that THIS was what she had to do with her life. In 2012, KVoss™ was formed.⁣
⁣
Remember... beauty starts from within...literally. Our skin surrounds each of us. All products are made with pure love and passion, and everything that you see on her site is 100% certified vegan and made from only the finest organic ingredients.⁣
⁣
KVOSS™ DOES NOT CREATE A NEW YOU-IT REVEALS THE BEAUTY AND RADIANCE THAT'S ALREADY IN YOU.⁣
IT'S THAT SIMPLE.⁣

I've personally eaten at Cache more times than most and the food is amazing! Always a fabulous time!⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Cache Restaurant is the combined vision of Rush Harding and his son, Payne Harding. For Rush, a businessman and philanthropist, Cache was an opportunity to bring a stunning vision of the most urbane, contemporary dining experience to downtown Little Rock. For Payne, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Cache is the canvas on which to create an extraordinary dining experience where no detail is left unattended.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
The name Cache is rich with meaning for the restaurant’s founders. The area around the iconic Cache River on the Arkansas Delta is where Rush Harding was born and raised. The moniker also provides a nod to the dictionary definition of a cache as a place for storing valuable possessions. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Cache is a destination where the people of Arkansas can gather over great food and drinks and create treasured memories that last a lifetime.⁣⁣⁣

Cold weather got you and your skin down? ⁣

5 TIPS TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN DURING WINTER WEATHER⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Skincare is important all year long, but winter has its own special challenges: dry heated rooms, dropping temperatures, biting winds – all of which can lead to dry skin and chapped lips.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Help your skin survive Mother Nature’s coldest months with these tips:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1. Exfoliate⁣⁣
Try dry exfoliation. Grab a soft brush or dry washcloth and gently brush the skin on your arms, legs and body to remove dead skin cells.⁣
⁣
For your face, consider an at-home peel for a fast refresher.⁣
⁣
2. Don’t skip your steps⁣⁣
There are no shortcuts in proper skincare.⁣
⁣
It’s important to cleanse, tone, treat and moisturize each day. Switch to a gentle cleanser in the colder months and use lukewarm water so your skin retains its essential oils⁣
⁣
Follow that immediately with a Softening Toner.⁣
⁣⁣
Next up, treat your skin with a quality serum. Serums penetrate deep within the skin’s surface layers to repair the appearance of past damage.⁣
⁣
Your skin is craving extra moisture during the winter. Give it what it needs with a powerful overnight Cream.⁣
⁣⁣
3. Extra eye care⁣⁣
During drier months, fine lines and other aging effects can appear more visible around eyes. Buy an hydrating anti-aging cream.⁣
⁣
4. Sun protection⁣⁣
The sun’s damaging rays don’t have a season; they do their dirty work all year long. The glare from the snow will only enhance the potential for damage.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
5. TLC for your hands and lips⁣⁣
Give them some extra tender-loving care to weather the winter, something infused with hydrating and soothing shea butters, aloe extract, and avocado, grape seed and coconut oils.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Stay safe and hydrated loves🤍⁣⁣

Bronzer is the go-to beauty product for getting a Bronzer is the go-to beauty product for getting a golden, sun-kissed glow anytime of year. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
The word "bronzing" is often used interchangeably with the word "contouring," applying bronzer is slightly different than applying contour. Contouring is the process of adding shadows and light to your facial features by using dark, matte tones, often with grey or beige undertones, to places where natural shadows fall.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Bronzer, on the other hand, is often warmer than your contour shade. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Ready to know how to apply bronzer?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
3 Easy Steps for a Basic Bronze⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Step 1. Before Your Bronze: Prep Your Skin⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
For a glow-boosting cleanser and moisturizer suitable for all skin types, try PIXI BY PETRA Glow Mud Cleanser and PURLISSE Blue Lotus Essential Daily Moisturizer SPF 30. These two products will keep your skin fresh, clean, and protected from sun damage! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Finish up your skin prep with your favorite primer to make sure your makeup stays all day and then your foundation!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Step 2. Choose a Bronzer Based on Your Skin Tone and Skin Type⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You never go more than one or two shades darker than your natural skin tone. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
For a natural-looking flush, use bronzers with rich chocolate, auburn, or other earthy-colored undertones. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Your skin type will also affect which type of bronzer you use.⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Powder Bronzer⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Powder bronzers work for all skin types⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Gel or Cream Bronzers⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Gel or cream bronzer is best for dry or normal skin types, because it won't settle on any dry patches or flakes.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Liquid Bronzer⁣⁣⁣
⁣
Liquid bronzer is for those who have dry skin or want a dewy, silky finish to their makeup look.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Step 3. Apply in a 3-Formation⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Act like you're drawing the number 3. Start by sweeping your brush along your hairline on your forehead, then follow your hairline down to your cheekbones. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Then, bring the color to the apples of your cheeks, and then swirl back again to shade under your jawline.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
With the right shade, brushes, and practice, bronzer is sure to become your next beauty BFF. ⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣The first ever Valentine’s Day card was in France, when Charles, the Duke of Orleans, sent love letters to his wife from the prison in 1415. And the French village called “Valentine” turns into the epicenter of romance between 12th and 14th February. One can see the beautiful yards, trees, and homes decorated with love cards, roses, and proposals for marriage flakes. It probably is the most beautiful Valentine’s Day traditions in the world.⁣⁣⁣

I’ve been hosted in hotels and resorts by the best of the best world wide and this HAS to be one of my favorite places to be hosted! It’s quaint, quiet the views from my room are just fabulous!⁣⁣⁣

Casa Albertina is a wonderful first class family run hotel that is perfectly situated so you get a nice view of the town from just a little way up, yet a short easy ten minute walk to the Beach and Center of Positano. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I first discovered Casa Albertina way back when and had 12 glorious days staying there. The son brought me in to stay and see what I thought about the place and to share my thoughts with others.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This hotel is beautifully appointed and the entire staff provides the most friendly service. Casa Albertina is an Absolute Gem.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Hotel in Positano in the Heaven of Amalfi’s Coast To climb heavenwards it is also possible to use the steps: those of the mythical ”Scalinatella” which, from Punta Reginella lead to the high part of Positano. Two flights and here you are in a wonderful paradise called Hotel Casa Albertina. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
On entering through the grandiose entrance door, go onto one of the many terraces and enjoy the breathtaking view: below you will see the famous “Spiaggia delle Sirene”, and in front, the suggestive ridge of Praiano, while higher still, climbs the “Sentiero degli Dei” where the local christians took refuge during the cruel Saracen invasions. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
As always, the delightful Cinque family, the owners, FIFTH generation owners of the property will be at hand to ensure your total comfort during this stay in this wonderful hotel set in the mountains perched over the sea.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
If you really want to “take in the history” why not ask for the room which at one time, when it was still a typical house of Positano before being transformed into a hotel.⁣⁣⁣

There's never been more successful female entrepre There's never been more successful female entrepreneurs, social activists and other fantastic ass kicking women role models to aspire to! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣The world may never be fair. The truth is -- we are still hiding. We are a shamed to raise our hand, to speak up, to share our ideas and to chase our dreams.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
What really holds us back is our desire to hold on to the old definition of success, the patriarchal way of climbing up the ladder.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
We keep comparing ourselves to men and their metrics. In the men's world, showing weakness is still bad in many circles.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Therefore we must create our own circles where showing vulnerability is a strength.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Now, ask yourself --⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
What is it you truly, deeply want. Do you dare to dream big?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Do you desire to follow your heart and do work that matters?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Do you want to get out of bed every morning feeling intensely passionate about your day ahead?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Do you wish to make a positive impact to people around you or to the wider world?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
And do you dare finish off your wish list with a balanced lifestyle, having time to spend time with your family and take care of your physical and mental health?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
But perhaps you don't believe any of this is possible so why even try. Such a dream seems so out of reach that why bother!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
We are not held back by lack of role models or lack of ideas/ funding/ support. We are held back by procrastination, our lack of self-belief and fear of failure.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

You may not want to hear this, it's much easier to blame the world around us, how unfair and unequal it is, than to actually do something about it.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
It's time women stop playing small and start dreaming big. It's time we all come out with our deepest dreams. Yes, those that we are ashamed to tell anyone.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Why?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
The dream you don't dare to tell is your most powerful dream.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Just imagine if we all said out loud what really matters to us, then we'd find the courage to start changing the world around us. At Luxelife9, I believe EVERY dream is equal. All we have to do is to stop comparing ourselves to others.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
