My Favorite Holiday Scents

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Erica

I am a firm believer in celebrating one holiday at a time. Every year after Thanksgiving dinner I put up my Christmas tree. Once the tree is up I light some of my favorite holiday scents. Usually I stick to the classics; peppermint and vanilla. However this year I have added some other scents such as gingerbread and winter. What is your favorite scent for the holidays?

{Root Candle French Vanilla}

Gift Idea

{Bath and Body Works Gingerbread}

Pair the Gingerbread Candle from Bath and Body Works with the Gingerbread Man Metal Candle Sleeve also from Bath and Body Works for a great gift idea! I am actually giving this as a hostess gift when I attend holiday parties.

Feel is Zoya\’s new winter 2011 collection and it is filled with six brand new cream neautrals and let me tell you I am LOVING every single color. This year Zoya has killed the competition when it comes to polish collections. Earlier in the year Zoya released Intimate which was packed with stunning shades for the spring. Then came Touch a collection containing three nude polishes for any skin tone. I have been beyond impressed with Zoya this year and after this collection they are officially my favorite nail polish company. If you are looking for wintery feminine gorgeous collection Feel is for you!

{ this shows you what the colors truly look like}

Note: it has been really dark and gloomy out so some of my actual swatch pictures do not look exactly like the color. Use the above swatched wheel to get a more exact idea.

{Kristen}

Kristen is a stunning snowy gray with a touch of blue. This is definitely a beautiful hue and will make you think of winter immediately. Two coats.

{Carey}

Carey is a gorgeous gray cream polish with the ever so slight periwinkle addition. The above picture is making it look more purple/blue when really it is more gray. Two coats.

{Megan}

Megan is a beautiful purple cream with a touch of gray. Megan is the perfect hue for a winters day. Two coats.

{Kendal}

Kendal is a lavender cream polish with a touch of beige. This color is beyond beautiful and is actually on my nails right now. I have receive so many compliments on it too! Two coats.

{Kennedy}

Kennedy is a pinky beige cream polish that is simply amazing. It kind of reminds me of a ballerina shade. Two coats.

{Avery}

Avery is a stunning nude cream polish. This is one nude polish that will look gorgeous against any skin tone! A must have in every collection. Two coats.

Overall thoughts
This is the most gorgeous collection that I have seen! I love every single color in the collection which does not happen that often. Honestly you will want to own each of these colors. It is perfect for winter and moving into spring. So visit Zoya.com or your local Ulta store to get this stunning collection! Seriously go right now!

It\’s the final weekend before the chaos of the holidays begins… are you ready? I will be spending the weekend picking up things for Thanksgiving dinner and cleaning and organizing my apartment so that Thanksgiving night I can switch my place from fall to winter/Christmas – I like to celebrate one holiday at a time. On a side note will you be going out for Black Friday? If so where are you going to be shopping at?
