During this time of year, the smells of the kitchen will be all around us. I love that I can experiment with new spices and try different things. I was so glad when I discovered Curio Spice Co. Founded in 2015, Claire Cheney is a self-taught cook who’s spent the last decade visiting spice farms + communities over 12 countries sourcing the best spices to bring back to New England.

With these spices, you can become a cook that is more creative. This is the time of year for you to wow your friends and family with all the new dishes that you can create.

The company was born out of a deep passion for spices + the way they can transform a meal, while also telling a story. Claire loved traveling, but not just to typical tourist destinations—she preferred finding her way to farms + odd markets where I can discover incredible spices. In creating Curio Spice Co., she wanted to source unique spices + make awesome blends, but also make an impact in the world—as a benefit corp., we are dedicated to ethical sourcing which includes finding socially + environmentally responsible producers around the world to work with directly.

If you have someone in the family that loves to cook, this is the perfect holiday gift for them.

 

 

 

Holiday Gift Guide-Women-Champion Athletic Wear

This time of year, it is all about finding pieces that transition easily. I love that Champion has athletic apparel that are on-trend and when paired properly it makes you look well-balanced.

Just in time for the holiday season, Champion has released a limited-edition capsule collection of cozy wardrobe staples in collaboration with Dr. Seuss. The throwback range features hoodies, T-shirts, joggers and crops arriving in vibrant colors including red, gray, black, orange and white. All apparel items are incorporated with unique screen-printing, embroidery and patches featuring iconic characters like Cat in the Hat, Horton, Thing 1 and Thing 2, Green Eggs and Ham.

The collaboration is a natural alignment for both brands as Champion is an authentic American brand synonymous with athletic apparel and embracing the self-expressive story of sports, while Dr. Seuss is one of the most celebrated brands in American history, with beloved stories and characters that are part of the fabric of a popular culture. The limited-time collection taps into the nostalgia of Dr. Seuss and resonates with consumers looking for a colorful nod to their childhood.

This is the perfect holiday gift for that individual who loves Dr. Seuss.

Another piece that I am in love with this season is the Champion Life® Women’s Rugby Cropped Tee, C Felt Logo. This piece combines the classic rugby jersey in a all-girl Cropped Rugby Tee. It is made of heavyweight cotton that stays true to the original rugby tee, with its bold, and wide colorblock stripes. It has also the felt block C embroidered Campion logo.

This is the perfect piece for the young women in your life this holiday season.

 

 

 

Holiday Gift Guide-Home Décor-Fishers Finery Silk Pillowcase

Sleep is very important to me. I need to be able to get a good night’s sleep and not worry about tossing and turning all night long. That is until I started using Fishers Finery Mulberry Silk Pillowcase and I realized my cheap ‘case was the real culprit behind my sleepless nights.

I know silk pillowcases are nothing new, and women have been using them to keep their hair smooth and sleep better for years, but this particular pillowcase is the one that will finally convince you to switch from cotton to silk if you haven’t already.

On top of how comfortable the satin is, I was surprised by how cool it stayed at night. Think “just flipped to the other side” temperature all night long. This made me more comfortable and able to sleep better at night.

Silk pillowcases will stain more easily than other fabrics. Fishers Finery recommends that you either hand wash or use a delicate cycle for cleaning, preferably in a machine without a center agitator to keep from damaging your pillowcases. But, considering the perks that this silky pillowcase comes with I’m happy to give it a little extra TLC.

I can’t wait to get a couple more; especially for the holidays.
