Hot lifestyle and beauty rituals

Post-holiday weather inspires the need to stay warm with hot cocoa and a blanket. It seems like the best time to dive back into the world of beauty. There are many elements that have helped me during the cold season.

There are some new products or products that I’m rediscovering.

Hot Cocoa Recipe with Creekside Marshmallows

Let’s start with a hot drink. First, I wanted to share with you a hot cocoa recipe that is rich and delicious. It’s the popular recipe from Paris that has gone viral on TikTok. i used it French recipe by Martha Stewart. I created this recipe for a family gathering and it was a big hit. I bought more than a few mallow marshmallows by the creek to follow the topic. We had a marshmallow bar that allowed everyone to try their favorite marshmallow with hot cocoa. My favorites were the mint chocolate chips. They are so good eaten on their own. There was even one marshmallow toppers that you can put in your hot cocoa. The kids were so cute eating the toppings by themselves. This is a recipe I will try again.

Hydration is key for winter. I look for skincare that keeps me hydrated and makeup that is creamy and rich in texture. I need this nourishment as my skin is getting tighter and my lines are more visible.

It all starts with great skin. Your makeup isn’t going to look good if your skin is dry and flaky. These skin care products are items I’ve tried or rediscovered.

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair*

This is a serum I keep in my rotation. I’ve been using it since I started in beauty retail. There’s a reason why this serum is a top seller in the beauty world. This serum helps refresh and boost your skin’s cell renewal process while you sleep. Your skin’s repair process tends to slow down with age. Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair, with the benefits of seven serums in one, helps boost the repair process. Plus, it helps protect your skin from environmental aggressors that can further damage your skin throughout the day. I have found myself needing this serum more now than ever as I am older. It gives my skin a brighter glow than the last time I used it. Also, check out mine Instagram and Tik Tok post using this term.

Moisturizing foundations for winter

These foundations have been in my cold weather rotation. A constant is n Le Metier Peau Vierge anti-aging complex formula. I use it daily – before any foundation or on its own. It is deeply nourishing and hydrating. This foundation is a sheer, luxurious foundation that improves the appearance of the skin.
