I was excited to hear about how women are making waves in beauty and wellness, and Estée Lauder is leading the charge. As one of the biggest names in the industry, the brand has built a legacy on innovation—especially for mature skin.

Not sure where to start? Here’s a short and sweet gift guide to help you grab something she’ll truly love. Whether you’re shopping for your girlfriend, wife, or even a close friend, finding the right gift can make all the difference.
1. Jewelry
A timeless and heartfelt gift, personalized jewelry—such as a name necklace, engraved bracelet, or birthstone ring—adds a sentimental touch. Look out for something with her initials or add a love note to make it extra special.
2. Perfume
Pamper her with a fragrance that she’ll never forget. Show her that you know what she likes by grabbing her favorite perfume in a mini or travel size. Pick up a full gift set and inspire her to try a new scent. Either way, she’ll feel the love this Valentine’s Day.
3. Beauty Gift
You can also find tons of beauty gift sets, from bath and body, to makeup and skincare. The good thing is that they usually come in pretty little boxes so you won’t have to worry about gift wrap. Check out Ulta, Sephora, Macy’s or Nordstrom for the top beauty kits this year.

4. Gift Box
And let’s not forget about the other delicacies that come in boxes. I’m talking about chocolates, candles, soaps, popcorn, and candies. Curate a collection of her favorite things to show her you care.
5. Cute PJs
Comfy or chic, a cute pajama set will elevate her style after dark. Remind her of your love every time she gets ready for bed. Get her a classic and versatile set that she’ll want to wear every night.
No matter what you choose, the key is to make it personal.
Hoping your Valentine’s Day ❤️ is So Healthy and Well!
These are just a few words to describe this year’s makeup trends. It’s all about being bold. As you begin the new year filled with courageous goals and fearless resolutions, why not redefine your vision and your look with these 2025 makeup and beauty trends?
Catching Your Eye
The experts say it’s time to do away with modesty when it comes to makeup. Get rid of that same ole eyeliner and eyeshadow color. Turn heads in 2025 with a spunky new eye makeup look. Real Simple says go all in on graphic eyeliner, bright eyeshadow, and bold smokey looks. PAT McGrath Labs Mothership X Eyeshadow Palette in Moonlit Seduction is the perfect place to start with moonlit shades in matte, glimmer, and metallic finishes.
Naturally Noticeable
If vivid astral isn’t quite what you’re looking for this year, you can still be boldly beautiful with natural makeup looks like the warm “latte” look or an airbrushed look. Use a bronzer and a light gold metallic lippy to create an emboldened glow that melts their hearts like a warm cup of coffee. Try using a primer and a soft, silky foundation to create a daringly bare face.
Beauty Marked
Modernize any look this year with a few futuristic appliques and embellishments. From holographic face stickers and gold glitter freckles to face tattoo stickers and spirit speckles, there’s plenty of ways to add fireworks to your makeup combo all year round. Stars like Madonna and Angelina are famous for their beauty marks. Who knows where yours will take you?
Yay! It’s 2025.
I dare you to fearlessly pursue your goals and look fabulous while you’re doing it.
This year is off to an interesting start. Despite a few serious personal challenges, there’s still a little time to reflect on how we can all continue to be So Healthy and Well. Looking back at 2024, here are a few key takeaways.
1/ Take a Deep Breath
A big part of self care is learning how to relax. Mediation, affirmations, and nature can help to minimize stress and improve your overall health.

A self care challenge is great at any time of the year.
2/ Work it Out
Make Exercise a Priority. There is nothing like some straight up endorphins to put stress at ease. Run, walk, kickbox, or twerk it out. Or maybe add a little zen to your life with some yoga. It always feels like a task, but once the workout is done you’ll feel the difference.
Check out our previous blog post about stress management here:
It doesn’t have to be a holiday to schedule time to beautify. Make self care a priority in 2025. Try out a new skincare line, a glamorous new lipstick in a colored you would never even think of wearing or shimmery new eyeshadow that will surprise your friends and family. Whatever makes you feel good – just do it. My mantra is when you look good, you feel good. Start the year off right by making time for YOU!
So Healthy & Well
