Remember last week when I thought, “winter isn’t going to be too bad this Christmas.” Fast forward a few days, minus 30 with a wind chill… I guess I will only be wearing this look indoors or under a parka from here on in.

It shouldn‘t be a surprise that we wanted to share some Green Gift Guide ideas on Northern Style Exposure this year. With Alastair’s skin struggle, winter eczema and reactive skin we’ve been ultra mindful of what we put on our skin. We were lucky enough to find the Detox Market years ago for all our luxury natural beauty needs. Thry have something for everyone on your list, big or small! Check out this value box with all of this year’s best selling products…
Another thought green gift are plants! I love to get real living plants for our house. They clean the air and look amazing too.
So guys this is my last gift guide of the season. Not too late I hope, but I know statistically over half of you are not done shopping just yet. Let’s talk fragrances because it is easily one of the most thoughtful and luxurious gifts a person can give. Scents can transport you to other worlds, remind you of sweet memories or give you that subtle confidence we all crave. Here are my top fragrances of the year for both Men and Women:
Chloé Eau de Parfum: I’ve worn Chloe fragrances for years. I love the subtle sopsicationi of their fragrances, perfect for women of all ages. Peony, Rose, Honey, Cedarwood make up this airy feminine scent.
MARC JACOBS Decadence Eau de Toilette: Not only is this bottle stunning but this fragrance is equally as beautiful. Nashi pear, Blackcurrant, Green ivy. Floral heart: Sheer jasmine petals, Magnolia, Pink lily of the valley. Luxurious dry: Cashmere woods, Raspberry Gloss, White Amber. This scent is so glamorous!
MIU MIU Miu Miu Eau De Parfum: I would call this the sexiest scent in my list. Sensual with notes of jasmine, rose absolute, wood and pepper. This is a bomb shell scent for a sensual women. I love the bottle, it’s so gorgeous for display in a bathroom or vanity.
HUGO BOSS Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette Spray: One of my favourite scents for men. Light yet masculine. It smells amazing! The immediate sensation of the fragrance is fruity, developing into a warm, woody, sensual release. Continue reading
One of our favourite spots to relax and unwind is the Man Cave viewing room. This time of year is perfect to create a space to hang as a family to watch holiday movies and share festive snacks. I love our River Leather Power Reclining sofa and chair from the Brick. The wipeable leather is perfect for kid’s snack accidents. Plus the power recline is convenient and smooth, it gets you into that perfect relaxed recline in seconds. We opted for a TV stand that incorporated a fire place as well to add to the comfort level in the space. We love the Odesos Stand with the glass ember firebox, it’s family friendly since the outside doesn’t get hot. Along with this ultra plush Ashbury area rug to complete the coziest of rooms. Now who wants to snuggle and watch Holiday movies in a place like this?
