Fashion Life Style

Hello dear reader. I do hope you had a beautiful Christmas. But even if family members were far away, someone was ill (maybe even you), the weather was frightful or you were missing a loved one who passed recently, I hope you were able to celebrate the coming of Emanuel, God with us, for at least a few thoughtful minutes.

I finally felt like the Christmas holidays had arrived yesterday. James and I were treated to a special lunch, just the two of us, at a nice restaurant. It was such a lovely time. Then we ran a couple of errands and came home. But there was just no rush. I’ve completed all my sponsorship obligations for the year, so that is a big weight off my shoulders. And today I’m training my two assistants to take over yet another task that I can gladly pass on to them. So I’m beginning to breathe a little more easy these days.

I’m spending these two days getting all the loose ends tied up at work and then we’re spending the holiday weekend with family. I think I’ve finished my shopping, but we do have one package we still need to ship to my son and daughter-in-law because we’re waiting on one

Maybe it’s because my wedding anniversary is January 2, and I frequently receive them as gifts, but I often enjoy starting the new year with a new bottle of perfume. Soon that fresh scent becomes my signature fragrance for that year. And sometimes when I smell that distinctive fragrance again…sometimes years later…it evokes memories of that particular year in my life. Well the new year is fast approaching, so today I thought I’d share some of my personal favorites and some trending fragrances that I found at Sephora at Kohl’s.

I love that we can now shop our favorite scents at Sephora in our local Kohl’s store. But did you know you can also shop Sephora at Kohl’s online? And frequently you can find that what you’re shopping for online is indeed available in your local store, so you can opt for store pickup in checkout. I just find
