@averylayne @PrettyPaint  My eyes zoned in on the Nespresso and all I could think of was “did PrettyPaint not mention the Nespresso as a favorite this month because it’s a limited edition flavor?” Hahaha! 😂

[PrettyPaint]

@itsfi  Well, well, somebody definitely knows their nespresso capsules. 🙂 I always have to try the limited editions, but it's a bummer when you get hooked on one and can't replenish the supply. I attempted to order some additional holiday capsules with a promo that they had yesterday and they were all gone.

Hahahaha! 😂🤣😂 @PrettyPaint, it’s not that I’m obsessed with Nespresso... I’m just really observant. lolololol 🤪 Yeah, observant! Let’s go with that. 😉 

[averylayne]

@itsfi  I really miss that coconut limited edition they had last year!

[PrettyPaint]

Mmmmm I really enjoyed that one too @averylayne 

[PrettyPaint]

@itsfi  Haha. Yes, I am a bit pathetic because I have a nespresso machine in my bedroom upstairs, one in the kitchen downstairs, and then a keurig in my office. One of the nespresso machines is a virtuo and the other is an original, so I justify it this way! 🙂 Obviously this probably isn't helping my caffeine addiction...

[itsfi]

Pathetic? Absolutely not @PrettyPaint! Practical? Definitely! ♥️☕️ Love your coffee set up around the house! 😍

This month was the first in the entire year I’ve been home the entire month, so I’ve been in warm and cozy hibernation mode. 

HUDA BEAUTY Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder Banana Bread Bought this to bake with my beauty blender, worked like magic on the under eyes and tzone. 

L'Occitane Strengthening Shea Nail and Cuticle Oil I have always had dry cuticles and have no idea why I’ve never used an oil. This is nice and helps, I love the convenience of application because I’m lazy, but I might try something new when I’m done with this. 

NEST - Birchwood Pine Votive Ornament

NEST - Holiday Scented Candle Ornament
NEST - Sparkling Cassis Votive Candle I was a 100% Diptyque girl, and then I met Nest about two years ago and fell in love. I burn Nest candles year round, and change them up with the weather/seasons. I’ve been using these festive fragrances this month.

@lnum  Those candles 😍

[lnum]

@ather The holiday ornaments get me every year!

[eshoe]

Reading this in a hurry @lnum and I read ‘snake oil’ for L’Occitane and thought hmmmmm, why hasn’t this been a mask ingredient yet🤔

Nest fragrances have always been pleasant for me on the senses, though I haven’t tried a candle yet. Good to know they are worth it!

[lnum]

@eshoe 😂

Snake oil must be the new snail in skincare!

[eshoe]

It would in no way surprise me, @lnum 😄

[lnum]

@eshoe I am pretty sure you just started the next big thing! 😮😁

[eshoe]

It’s probably already a thing @lnum...and a quick search confirms that snake oil hair masks are indeed a thing;)

[itsfi]

Looove Nest candles @lnum! 💗💕💗💕I haven’t tested that cassis one before. Will have to check it out. 

[lnum]

@itsfi I think cassis might be new for the holidays, totally worth it in the votive size!

[CookieGirl1]

I love Nest candles, @lnum!  Those are some beautiful scents--glad that you were actually home for the month to burn and enjoy them 🙂

[lnum]

@CookieGirl1 Thank you! I’m already looking forward to some spring scents. 😅

[PrettyPaint]

I haven't purchased a nest candle before, but they sound amazing @lnum 

[lnum]

@PrettyPaint Totally recommend them! Lovely scents that are not artificial, better price point than Diptyque, and most of them come in the small size, I get tired of fragrances easily so that works well for me.
