What does your bathroom smell like? Hopefully something artificial. And nice. Seriously. For the past few days, every time I walk into the bathroom, I smile and smell the refreshing mint that spreads from the shower.
Basically, its freezing here. I'm not joking, if any of you out there actually read this and are outside of New England.... it was "50" (but also dark and raining) on Sunday... that was a freak accident. It hasn't been above 32 degrees in over a week except for that. And rumor has it, we are expecting a nor'easter this weekend. Awesome.
What this really means to me is my skin is so itchy from the dry changing temperatures. What is ALSO means is that the hair salon I go to comes out with PAUL MITCHELL TEA TREE GIFT SETS!!! YES!
For less than the price of ONE tea tree shampoo bottle, I bought shampoo, conditioner and bar soap!
If you are not aware, tea tree is supposed to help invigorate your skin and hair, with some sort of magical healing properties. As long as the shower is steaming hot, and the tea tree is minty and refreshing, it feels like you just left a eucalyptus steam room. Anddddddd.... its wonderful. Its a great cold winter feeling b/c the tea tree makes your scalp tingle which leaves it uber refreshed.
I washed my hair twice the day I bought my first bottle of the year.
Anyway, if you're considering it.... I only recommend the tea tree special. Its all personal preference, but I hated the lavender and the lemon sage was slightly icky.
SO while I am blocked in my house from the many many feet of snow we're expecting this winter, starving because its inevitable we'll forget to go grocery shopping, knowing the probability Comcast will break and we won't have cable.... I'll turn my minty smelling bathroom into a spa. And it will be awesome.
Oh... you already have a favorite shampoo/conditioner and you don't care for my recommendation? No problem.
How about this one? A Burt's Bees Holiday Grab Bag! I already bought mine, and it arrived and it was the most fun thing. Its already awesome to get mail... but a surprise grab bag!? How fun! When the package arrived, I pulled out the mesh bag and just kept pulling out items. I received a full size toothpaste (yessssss!), full sized shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, some other stuff I can't remember, 2 bars of different soap, lip gloss and so much more! Sigh, so amazing. :-)
If not seasonal products/food (we'll miss you DD pumpkin donuts, until we meet again next year), how are you preparing for the holidays?
If you have the December issue of InStyle, flip to page 412. Bottom left. THAT is how I plan to prepare for the holidays. Without the mag? Its a picture of mini white twinkle lights wrapped around fireplace logs set in the fireplace.... seems to light up the whole fireplace and is so not nearly as much a fire hazard as actually lighting the wood. I promise to post the "after" pics.... once I, you know, buy the twinkle lights. Its going to happen within the next 3 days. Vacuuming out the unused fireplace, with 2 lamps aiming directly into the deep dark crevice was a huge success- not one bug came flying out all mean and hungry like. Win!
Stay tuned!

Where have you been?!?!
I bought my bulk packs of organic shampoo and conditioner just about two weeks ago - because they offered free shipping and a huge discount. Some people, who I may have married, find this annual stock up of haircare product strange so it warms my heart that others do the same. Mmmmmm, mint spa.
If you don't want to buy twinkle lights, I'll give you some. We decided we didn't need a nine foot tree this year so only used a thousand lights not two thousand... Cannot wait to see how this turns out!
