The holiday season is officially here, and I don’t know about you, but I’m loving the crisp air, twinkle lights in the trees, trying a new recipe every week, and being in bed by 9 p.m. Black Friday was chaotic this year, so an extensive skincare routine ended up being the perfect way to unwind and reset. Omnilux, masking, layering toners, serums, oils, and balms - it all became the little ritual I needed to calm down before heading to bed.
Black Friday Recap
This was by far our busiest and most hectic month since launch, and now that Black Friday is over, we can finally exhale. We made it through (almost).
We are experiencing some unexpected delays with our suppliers - trust me, the stress of this is keeping us up at night. Once we have an updated timeline on the products you're waiting for, we'll let you know ASAP and ship them out the day they arrive.
You guys loved our sale - and we love you for it. We so appreciate your loyalty and patience.
What I'm Loving This Month
Product Layering: The beauty of my Environ Products is that they can be mixed together and applied, but there's something about layering that feels so indulgent. My evening routine has been Dermaviduals Suusmoon Lotion N, Osmosis Stemfactor, Environ HA Hydrating Serum, Environ AVST Moisturizer 5, all sealed in with Anfisa An-Balm. Layering hyaluronic acid (water) and lipids (oil) creates glowing, healthy skin even in the cold & dry Canadian winter months.
Pro tip: apply each layer immediately after one another to avoid product pilling and enhance absorption.
Dressing an Outfit Up with a Coat: I love a good puffer, but there's something about a wool coat that can make every outfit feel put together. Even on top of a hoodie, it still can look so chic.
Liis Choux Choux: My latest fragrance obsession, choux choux is a sweet, vanilla-citrusy fragrance that is so addictive. After having the sample for one day I ordered the full bottle.
An After Dinner Walk: This time of year it's so tempting to just rot on the couch from 5pm onwards, so forcing myself to go on a short neighbourhood walk after dinner is refreshing, good for the mind (and blood sugar!).
Take Care of Yourselves this Holiday Season
As we settle into the busiest (and coziest) time of year, I hope you find your own little rituals that help you breathe, reset, and feel grounded - whether that’s a gorgeously layered skincare routine, a good winter coat, or a quick walk after dinner to clear your head. Thank you for being here, for supporting us through the chaos, and for giving us so much to be grateful for this season.
xo, Nicole
