After a year of sharing groundbreaking #BeautyFinds, tips and tricks for nourishing your mind and body, and of course, methods to make #WFH life a bit easier on both, putting together a gift guide for the ultimate pampering experience was a no brainer.
Let’s face it: 2020 has been a rough year. At times, disappointing, and in some moments, fulfilling. One thing we’re grateful for? The extra time spent at home with our friend and family bubbles. But most importantly, the quality time we’ve had to sit with ourselves.
If buying yourself or somebody special moments for much-needed self-love and self-care is on your Christmas list, then this gift guide is for you.
Happy shopping.
