It’s December 15th and I keep having to remind myself to settle down and just namaste through the holiday season. Common phrases in my head include: Focus on the present. Don’t worry about FedEx Ground delivery schedules. Don’t lash yourself for forgetting to bake cookies for the preschool holiday party and/or never baking in general. (PSA: Entenmann’s cookies are nut-free and available pretty much anywhere).
Why are we always rushing, rushing, rushing through this festive time of year?!
And the bigger question is, what can we do to stop rushing? Is it possible?
Tis the season of major multi-tasking. In an effort to help you all (and ourselves!) navigate the next few weeks, we wanted to highlight a new brand we love called STIKS COSMETIKS. We met the dynamic ladies behind STIKS at our Soho pop-up shop on Friday.
STIKS founder Laura Heilman, a single mom of 3 boys and a marketing executive, wanted a lipstick that looked good but was also functional. So, she created one. STIKS can fit into a back pocket, a flat wallet and/or a tiny clutch. The cap also has a flip-top, so you can apply it with one hand! And do something else with your other hand (text…or, in the spirit of mindfulness, brush your hair or time your breaths). And the packaging is mirrored, which makes it super-convenient for application while traveling.
We say, brilliant! More holiday tips and tales to follow….until then, marinate in the madness and enjoy every crazy, full, chaotic moment. Shameless plug: all of our styles accommodate a busy lifestyle, but the HEUCY #ProblemSolver may be the perfect dress for this time of year. The drop waist allows you to grab one more cookie sans guilt or discomfort, and the loose silhouette is great for running around town…and/or decorating the Christmas tree…and/or navigating an end-of-year talk with your boss 🙂
