Holiday Gift Guide-Women-Purelis Bath Products

This past year has taught me a ton about self-care and that we need to restore our bodies and mind. I was delighted to find some wonderful products from Purelis.

If you have someone in your life that you are  holiday shopping for who is a devotee of the bath, you would love the Purelis Bulk Bath Bomb Set and other products These 24 bath bombs came in this oversized box wrapped in cellophane. Even before I peeled that outer plastic covering, I could smell those beautiful scents permeating through the paper.

Inside, I found four separate gift boxes with six bagged bath bombs that are individually wrapped as well in a mix of fruit and floral scents. Each bomb is about the size of a golf ball, not the larger size of a baseball that some can be. There was a rose, grapefruit, sandalwood, sage, coconut, papaya, blueberry, eucalyptus, green tea, rosemary, chamomile, orange, jasmine, mint, cherry, patchouli, lavender, strawberry, lemongrass, mango, vanilla, bergamot, ocean, aloe, sage, and a mango.

The ingredients are good ones that you don’t have to worry about with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), citric acid, sodium chloride (salt), sucrose, kaolin clay, Shea butter, essential oils, fragrance, and FDA approved colorants. This set was free of sulfates, phthalates, formaldehyde, vegan and made cruelty-free with certified organic ingredients, which is just as important to me as those captivating fragrances I was inhaling.

The other Purelis bath product is the Spa Basket. You get a loaded decorative container with bubble bath, body lotion, shampoo, body butter, body wash, bath caviar, bath oil, two fizzy bath bombs, butterfly soap bar, candle, bath mitts, bath salt crystals and slippers, which were for extremely tiny feet. This set has a lot of products you’ll enjoy treating yourself or gifting those beauty lovers on your holiday shopping list.

Trust me, and you’ll long to spend more time in the tub with this set of Purelis bath products, sampling one bewitching scent after another. Some of the scents are more potent than others as they fill the water with such beauty. Your skin also feels softer the longer you linger.

You are going to enjoy these for the holidays and the winter months.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – NOVEMBER 18: It’s time to be merry at Macy’s this holiday season as Santa Claus returns for in-person visits at Macy’s Santaland® on November 18, 2021 in New York City. (Photo by Eugene Gologursky/Getty Images for Macy’s, Inc)

Growing up some of my best memories revolve around Macy’s Department Store at Herald Square. I have spent many weekends with my mom and younger sister shopping, Some of the first pictures I have of myself is visiting Santa there. It has been an integral part of my life. This year I am sad that I will not get to see the gorgeous holiday windows. I have been excited that Macy’s sent me images of the windows and information about holiday events to share with my readers. I hope seeing these windows will be bringing some joy to your lives.

MACY’S FAMED HOLIDAY WINDOWS CELEBRATE THE MAGIC OF BELIEF WITH “TIPTOE”

Macy’s Herald Square’s iconic animated holiday windows introduce Tiptoe, one of Santa’s reindeer recruits who with the help of her friends learn the importance of believing in herself.

Macy’s Herald Square, New York City’s premier destination for holiday magic will once again ignite the imagination and bring the spirit of the season to New Yorkers and visitors with its famed animated holiday windows. It opened Thursday, November 18, the Macy’s iconic Broadway windows will feature the story of Tiptoe, a bright-eyed reindeer on the verge of realizing her ultimate dream, to join Santa’s sleigh team and deliver magic around the world on Christmas Eve.

“Macy’s Herald Square is the home for holiday magic and our iconic Broadway windows have for more than 100 years showcased animated wonders that inspire and delight,” said Manuel Urquizo, National Director of Visual Campaigns and Windows for Macy’s. “With Tiptoe, we have created a whimsical story highlighting the important power of belief and the joy and wonder of the season.”

The journey begins with the introduction of Tiptoe, a loveable reindeer recruit who sits and daydreams of joining Santa’s crew. She goes to flight school each day and studies each night, as she chases her dream to fly high. But her confidence is low, and she fears that she’ll never soar. So, her friends come to the rescue. With a little ingenuity, rope, and friendly birds at the helm, Tiptoe takes flight soaring with pure delight. When the rope starts untying, our courageous Tiptoe keeps flying. Thanks to the cheers of her friends below. And with that, Tiptoe’s Christmas dreams come true as she joins Santa on his magical adventure, reminding everyone to BELIEVE.

As the first department store to feature whimsical Christmas window displays that have enchanted generations of spectators, Macy’s world-renowned Holiday Windows will once again enthrall and entertain.
