When the holiday fun is over but spring is months away, the midwinter blues set in. To fight those doldrums, beauty expert Jenn Falik shares the following midwinter pick-me-ups with NY1:
Something Cozy
Nuddle, $88 at www.Nuddleblanket.com
A personal favorite, this is the coziest blanket to tuck into for a night. Wrap your feet and relax.
VS Pink Pajama Pants, $16+ at www.vspink.com
Super-comfy, these colorful and warm pajama pants make weekends spent in a cramped apartment a bit more cheerful.
Something Fun
Lilly Pulitzer Monopoly Game, $50 at www.lillypulitzer.com
Love this fashiony-twist on a game night classic - the perfect party game for a girls' night in.
Something Creative
Kate’s Paperie Journals - $10+ at Kate’s Paperie locations
Keeping a journal is a great way to de-stress and keep on track with lofty New Year’s resolutions. Fun and cheery styles can help make the therapeutic task feel like a pleasure.
Something Pampering
MDSkincare Detox Bath - $55 at www.sephora.com
This good-for-you bath time soak-and-scrub ritual detoxes the skin and leaves the body and brain feeling refreshed. Infused with high concentrations of botanical extracts, essential oils, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, this bath will literally drag the bad stuff out and seal the good stuff in.
Pharmacopia Bath Salts - $20 at www.pharmacopia.net
Take a therapeutic bath with these salts to induce sleep and reduce tension. This treatment contains a blend of essential oils, including Roman Chamomile, to help ease headaches and soothe nerves.
Something Sparkly
Judith Ripka Marina Ring - $300 at www.judithripka.com
Nothing brings a smile like a sparkle, and this bauble is timeless, not trendy. The eye-catching ring matches jeans and a sweater or a black-tie gown, and literally adds something special to any outfit in your closet.
