With the stress of the holidays among us, it is easy for us to become consumed with doing for others around the clock. But it is imperative that self care is implemented. We get so busy in our day to day, that we forget about ourselves and the need to recharge our own batteries. With cold temperatures, snow and the potential for winter blues to set in, it’s important to adhere to a self- care plan. Get a massage, grab a good book, slather on some smell-good body butter, or just treat yourself to a sweet treat like cookie dough. Come on really, who doesn’t like cookie dough?!

Wake your winter skin up with an organic facial from  Bee’s Beauty Bar and Spa. All facials are created with the customer in mind as they are perfectly customized to your skin type. 12 Days of Christmas is also the the perfect way to gift yourself with one day promotions, giveaways and favorite beauty products.

It’s never too early to shop. So why not stop at Bath Savvy for some treats for your relaxing night time routine?! Who doesn’t want to smell like vanilla cupcakes all the time? I would love that!  So, pick up some Vanilla Cupcake Body Butter. But before that you’ll need to take a  relaxing bath. Cleanse and wake up dead winter skin with an activated charcoal bath bomb. The winter winds can be wicked while you are out and about, but Vegan Lip Butter will smoothly take care of all your cracks and wind burn from the mean winter winds.
