This has shot straight to the top of my list of most loved skin care products. As you might know I am a huge fan of La Prairie and recently tried this much talked about mask for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does my skin feel baby soft but it actually looks better than it is has in a long time,I have been getting frequent comments on my skin and do believe La Paririe is part of that plus I am worth it:) Skin care is one area I will not compromise, you only get one face!!\u00a0 I highly recommend this wonderful mask, especially at a time where we might be pushing ourselves a bit more than usual with the holiday frenzy. <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4k4sHmW8eKY&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=404471.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=5462&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.neimanmarcus.com%252FLa-Prairie-Cellular-Hydralift-Firming-Mask-1-7-oz-Skin-Care%252Fprod16720059_cat13770749__%252Fp.prod%253Ficid%253D%2526searchType%253DEndecaDrivenCat%2526rte%253D%2525252Fcategory.jsp%2525253FitemId%2525253Dcat13770749%25252526pageSize%2525253D120%25252526Nao%2525253D0%25252526refinements%2525253D%2526eItemId%253Dprod16720059%2526cmCat%253Dproduct\"><em>Click here for more info<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48478\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/NMC002F_mu.jpg\" alt=\"nmc002f_mu\" width=\"456\" height=\"570\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>4 A FANTASTIC MOVIE. I have seen this three times, and we watched it again Thanksgiving evening. It is such a beautiful touching story&#8230;a &#8220;real&#8221; movie. If you have enjoyed any of my past recommendations do think you will really enjoy it if you haven&#8217;t seen it already. Available I believe on Netflix and Amazon. Beautiful music is an added bonus:)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B28IHhaQXCE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>5 SUGARED FRUIT Always loved this look and this year am going to give it a whirl. I have read many different articles on how you can do it from using glue and glitter to egg whites and sugar or a bottle of clear sprinkles. I will probably experiment with a few methods and will report back how I\u00a0 made out. One thing is for sure, its a beautiful look especially around the\u00a0 holidays! Have you ever made it?

We have a few and I am a die hard about honoring them&#8230;.my kids and husband know this about me so gave up trying:)<\/p>\n<p>I think traditions keep people and families connected and that eventually everyone comes to value and even anticipate them. What do you think? I know some families do not have them and maybe don&#8217;t even want them. It has to be whatever works for you.<\/p>\n<p>I was talking to a friend who said she wishes she had them during her childhood so she works hard to integrate them into\u00a0 her own family life with hopes that her own children will one day follow suit&#8230;.it got me thinking. So, what do you ahve to say on the matter?<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"http:\/\/static.polldaddy.com\/p\/9591050.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/polldaddy.com\/poll\/9591050\/\">What best describes your feelings on holiday family traditions?<\/a><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47983\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/scroll.png\" alt=\"scroll\" width=\"300\" height=\"63\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So friends that is what&#8217;s on my mind this week, trust me there is much more but that will be in other posts:) Today I am continuing on with my one organizational task per day and will be doing a bit of holiday decorating. As said before I always do it in small windows and take full advantage when my creative mood strikes:)<\/p>\n<p>My college son leaves around noon to fly back to school so the house will be quiet once again but not for long as I know December goes by in a blink of the eye!
