Since we are headed to a pajama party this evening and I live in Christmas pajamas this time of year, this post seemed too fitting! Yesterday, Britt (she blogs at Hello Honey), came over to my parent’s house for a girls day complete with cozying up by the fireplace and making a fresh batch of mama’s homemade hot chocolate. Don’t worry the secret recipe is on the blog here!

Buffalo plaid is making it’s big debut this season which I love because it is so festive for the holidays. I’m ashamed to say how many pieces of buffalo plaid I have recently bought, but you can be assured that almost all of them are pajamas! See below for some of my favorites.

Tried and true plaid, especially in holiday festive colors, will always be a staple and one of my personal favorites. It’s easy to find this all year round but I always tend to stock up around the holidays when it is most abundant.

If you are in search of the perfect Christmas pajamas, look no further. I have an entire page with the best options on the internet here. When in doubt of what to give for Christmas, pajamas and cozy gifts are always a good idea. I don’t know a single person that doesn’t like to receive pajamas as gifts. Probably because I wouldn’t be friends with those type of crazies 😉

GIVEAWAY

Continuing on with the 5th day of Christmas Giveaways, I’ve partnered up with Britt and LAKE Pajamas to give one lucky reader a set of pajamas and a Christmas mug. Follow the below directions to enter.

12 Days of Christmas Giveaways

December 1, 2016

Holiday style: green velvet party dress

Dress: Urban Outfitters | Shoes: Similar | Purse: Charming Charlie | Choker: Bauble Bar | Lipstick color: MAC “Diva”

The holidays have creeped up on us yet again! I could go on and on about how fast this year has flown by but if that’s what it takes to get us to Christmas time, then I can’t complain one bit. As soon as Thanksgiving ends and it becomes socially acceptable to start decorating for Christmas and playing Santa tunes on repeat, I become my happiest (s)elf! Even if Houston doesn’t feel like a winter wonderland, that isn’t stopping me from drinking hot chocolate or watching Christmas movies like they are going out of style.

This year I have been fortunate enough to work with so many amazing brands that have truly helped my small business grow and have allowed me to be able to keep this little blog afloat. Of course, absolutely none of that would mean anything if it weren’t for all of YOU that continually support me and my dreams. So to show my appreciation, I have teamed up with 12 different brands to bring you some pretty amazing gifts to get you in the holiday spirit! You might also see a few appearances from some of my favorite (rein)deers that made my first year of blogging one to remember!

Starting today, I will be giving away a gift every single day for 12 days. Some big, some small, some cozy, some stylish, and some specifically for my Houston ladies. In order to enter each giveaway make sure you are checking the blog every day and also following me on Instagram. While you do not have to have an Instagram, most of the giveaways will require it. Each giveaway will go live at 8 am CST each day and run for 24 hours until the next giveaway is announced. For this particular giveaway series, winners must reside within the United States. I will announce the winners of each giveaway on my Instagram stories so be sure you are following along!

First up, I have partnered with Cacay Natural Oils to gift 3 lucky readers a Cacay Oil set. It was not until this year that I started using oils and now I am forever changed. I love using the Cacay Oil before bed to lock in my moisturizer. I not only have softer skin, but it has helped with my dark circles and is supposed to prevent and fight off wrinkles too! These make the perfect stocking stuffers or Christmas gifts, especially for the ladies that are wanting to up their skin care regimen. To enter follow the below steps. You must have an Instagram to enter in this giveaway.
