The holiday season is one of my favorite times of the year. There’s something about these few months that brings families together. Whether we are baking for friends, getting crafty with art projects or planning a huge party – it’s all about bonding with the ones we love.

Garnier® Whole Blends™ asked me to put together a list of things that highlight my favorite holiday moments that make life beautiful and I just jumped at the chance! So, without further ado — here are my top picks!

Nothing beats spending time baking with the kids – especially when we come up with fun designs like these Christmas tree brownies. Fun to make, fun to see, and fun to eat!

Decorating my house is always so much fun when the kids participate. We bring out all of our old favorites and incorporate them with some new finds that I score each season. Do I go overboard? Nah!

I host Christmas Eve for my family and every year we do an Ugly Christmas Sweater contest.  It’s going on 5 years strong now. I don’t know who gets into it more: the adults or the kids!!

It’s also a very special time for me because my daughter performs in our church choir and there is just something so beautiful about hearing children sing – tears me up every Sunday.

And, while gift giving is by no means the true meaning of the holidays, I certainly do love to see the smiles on my kids’ faces when they open up their toys on Christmas morning. As a mother, there is simply nothing greater than seeing that joy.

What about the scents of the holidays? Garnier® Whole Blends™ Color Care with Argan Oil & Cranberry Extracts is the perfect addition to your beauty routine during the holiday months and beyond. Think about it: what scents remind you of the most festive time of the year? For me, it’s vanilla, brown sugar, and cranberry! The Garnier® Whole Blends™ Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner has a paraben-free formula infused with the essence of Argan Oil and cranberry extracts to protect color and reveal radiance. So, every time I shower, I feel like I am celebrating!!

And you know what? Your hair will too because Argan Oil does great things for your hair cuticles. 

The Garnier® Whole Blends™ Hair Care is a full range of naturally inspired hair care shampoo, conditioner, and treatments for all hair types. The paraben-free formula is gentle for everyday use and the Argan Oil is an ingredient that gives back to hair which I LOVE.  Nothing beats the combination of Argan Oil & cranberry extracts during the holiday season.
