Full bellies, full hearts, and ready to deck the halls. It’s officially Christmas carol season! This is, hands down, the best time of year. We love it because there’s no such thing as over the top.

Bake your favorite cookies, draw a warm bath, take a nap, book an appointment for a glittery mani-pedi, ‘tis the season for joy. Do what makes you happy. And, if you like spreading Holiday cheer by finding that perfect gift, our Stylebook contributors have you covered. Stay from now until Christmas for gift-giving inspiration and more!
Celthia: The eyes have it! The new, limited edition “Eye Love You” from Westman Atelier just hit the store and we are absolutely swooning!

Elizabeth: New Lizzie Fortunato just dropped and it is the perfect gift for the holiday season. We have bracelets, earrings and necklaces at all different prices. You really can’t go wrong with something from Lizzie.
Adrien: There are countless fads, pills, and quick fixes when it comes to achieving quality, uninterrupted sleep. Most women probably need more than a miracle aromatherapy pillow spritz if they want truly restful sleep – despite what marketers want you to think.
With my over 20 years of research, education, and dedication to women’s wellness, I have found out what works and what doesn’t when it comes to sleep.
While I have numerous proven strategies for better quality sleep, I have a few tips to share that can make drifting into dreamland that much easier. Purchase my MASTER Menopause NOW! Mastering Sleep Course here.
Britt: After a wonderful Thanksgiving, we enter this week full of gratitude and giving. Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, and we hope you join us in supporting local organizations in our community. One of these is The Seaport Foundation Apprentice Program. Due to the generosity of a current donor, the first $15,000 donated on #GivingTuesday will be matched 100%. The doubling of your gift provides the Seaport Foundation with the financial resources needed to continue our work with disconnected youth in our communities. Graduates from the Apprentice Program have gone on to receive their GED, obtain a Driver's License, attend a 4-year or 2-year college and secure employment, allowing them to become productive members of their communities.
