Practical Indulgences as Gifts

I have a theory that you can never go wrong with giving a gift that is a “practical indulgence” – meaning that it’s something useful but is also a little more of an upgrade than what someone would normally purchase on their own. For example, take hair removal. I have always wanted to indulge in something that can remove hair permanently, but I can never justify the price. What a great gift to give, right?!

Ladies- let’s face it.  We truly spend a ton of time (and money!) on shaving.  The fancy razors (and ridiculously priced razor cartridges!), shaving cream, etc.  Trips to the salon or spa for waxing, which isn’t the most relaxing experience.  Personally, I’d love to get laser hair removal and have smooth legs and underarms and never shave again but it is SO expensive.  I’ve seen deals on Groupon, but am always weary of these offerings.  So what’s a girl to do?!

Enter the Silk’n Flash&Go.  It’s relatively easy to use and safe on even sensitive skin.  And the best part?! Flash&Go puts an end to permanent hair removal so no more waxing, shaving, or plucking.  Hallelujah!

It works with patented light technology and works on gals like me with lighter skin and darker hair.  You schedule your treatments in two-week intervals and typically see results after the 3rd or 4th treatment, and after this, you can start treating monthly.  I definitely plan to put this on my wishlist and give it shot.  Seems easy to use without even leaving home or scheduling an appointment, which I am a fan of!

You can pick up the Silk’n Flash&Go at Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl’s or online at bedbathandbeyond.com or Kohls.com.  It’s such a great gift and makes for a nice indulgence!  And just in time for the holidays, there is an awesome promo to make the deal even sweeter…

Purchase the Silk’n Flash&Go at Bed Bath & Beyond or Kohl’s in store or online and go to keepongifting.com, upload a copy of your receipt, and you will receive a $25 gift card to Bed Bath & Beyond or Kohl’s AND a chance to win a trip for two to Aruba!  (AND you can redeem this gift card up to 3 times which would give you a total of $75 to spend at either Bed Bath & Beyond or Kohl’s.) It’s a no brainer!  Use that moolah to pick one up for someone on your list and then get one for yourself while you’re at it…because we all deserve an indulgence now and again–especially when it’s a practical one!

      I so look forward to trying it. They advise not to use it while nursing/pumping so I hope to give it a go in the spring…stay tuned!

    • #ad No matter what your dietary preferences might be, give @planetoat a try! I started a few years ago when I ditched the coffee creamer and now opt for a non dairy option. Planet Oat now has unsweetened flavors (original and vanilla) with zero grams of sugar and just 45 calories per serving! The taste is great, creamy and works well straight up in a glass, in coffee as a creamer substitute or mixed in a smoothie or overnight oats. Lately, I' src='http://the-style-files.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-slider-widget/assets/image.png' class='GraphSidecar' style='opacity: 0;'>

I’m sharing a roundup of some of my favorite snacks that span salty, savory and sweet. Whether it’s an after school snack, road trip supply, Netflix/sports accompaniment, family movie night or just a little pick-me-up, I’ve got ya covered with options that you won’t feel guilty about later since these snacks are all comprised of a simple, clean ingredients.

    • Over the last five+ years of being a mom, my style has evolved quite a bit. Gone are the days of being dressed for the office every day. Now my work-from-home life meets stay-at-home mom life requires what I wear to be both comfortable and practical without sacrificing style. I still love getting myself put together for the day, even if that means a day of working at home, running errands and playing outside. So I put together three practical yet stylish outfits featuring some tried and true clothing favorites from @everlane, a brand I love for quality, ethically made items.

    • We enjoyed some gorgeous greenery at the domes today. It was like we were on a tropical island with all the lush vegetation... almost In awe of such beauty, especially when snow is stacked high and temps are so low all around us.
