What I’m Gifting This Year

Can you believe it’s the holiday season? A month full of happiness and the season of giving! While the Christmas joy, decorations, lights, music, and parties make the atmosphere magical, the act of gift-giving holds a special place in my heart. I love spoiling the incredible people in my life that I truly cherish and appreciate. Being a busy wife, mom and two business owner, I understand that life can be challenging, chaotic, but also very rewarding. This year especially, I want to show my love, gratitude and appreciation to the special people in my life that support me in some loving way. 

Between family, friends, co-workers, teachers, hairstylists, house cleaners, and babysitters, it can feel overwhelming trying to find the perfect gift for everyone. But don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! I have put together a comprehensive holiday gift guide filled with my favorite beauty and wellness items, that I guarantee anyone will love. I hope this gifting guide inspires you or makes your holiday shopping a little easier. 

MAKEUP

TOM FORD EyeshadowThis palette is a favorite of mine right now, color Disco Dust. The colors are so beautiful and versatile. Wearable from day to night and gorgeous on all skin tones. You can create a natural subtle look or dramatic eye with this palette!  

Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick – Say hello to the perfect lipstick! It’s creamy and luxurious and is wearable for year round. Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk is my #1 favorite lip color. I LOVE the liner, lipstick and gloss. 

SKINCARE

This luxurious serum can be applied alone as an overnight treatment or layered over any of our RFA serums or moisturizers to enhance their effects. This proprietary formula absorbs quickly, delivering intense nourishment to combat dryness and achieve radiant skin. The rich ingredients will leave your complexion repaired, soft, supple, and evenly hydrated. Suitable for all skin types.

RFA Lux Pads- Everyone deserves an ultimate overnight skin miracle! Life is busy and sometimes you don’t have the time to go into the office for a skin treatment. Well, look no further than giving the gift that keeps on giving. RFA Lux Pads are a proprietary at-home clinical treatment that will leave your skin glowing, tighter & brighter. This product works to exfoliate, shrink large pores, kill acne-causing bacteria, lighten pigment, and provide a radiant glow. These pads are a must-have for the night before any big event!

RFA Detox Mask- Another at-home indulging skin experience. This winter allow your skin to benefit from the healing power of mud from the Mediterranean and Dead Seas to achieve a detoxified complexion. The herbal ingredients and natural clays will absorb your skin’s toxins and soothe and calm your skin, removing impurities, cleansing your pores, and clarifying your complexion. Suitable for all skin types, especially those prone to oily, acne-congested skin.

This specially curated trio is designed to hydrate, smooth, and reveal glowing skin from head to toe. From exfoliation to deep hydration, this bundle gives your skin everything it needs to feel soft, smooth, and rejuvenated.

HAIRCARE

Kerastase Hydrating Hair OilUnlock the secret to healthy, shiny hair with one of my favorite go-to hair products. Kerastate Hydrating Hair Oil is a staple in my haircare routine, keeping my hair fresh and nourished daily. Hydration for your hair is as important as hydration for your skin! This is an excellent hair oil suitable for all hair types. 

Bio Iconic Curling Iron If you’re looking for a curling iron that gives you beautiful, frizz-free curls without the heat damage, then the Bio Ionic Curling Iron is the tool for you. This is the healthiest curling iron for your hair because of the advanced technology to hydrate and soothe the hair. I especially love the Long Barrel curling iron. 

APOTHECARY

RFA Holiday Candles: There is something for everyone when it comes to setting the cozy vibe this holiday season with our signature RFA Holiday Candles. All of our candles are hand-poured in small batches with a 100% natural soy and vegetable wax blend. This candle will burn for up to 60 hours and last you all season long! Available in 3 unique, seasonal scents. 

  • Gingerbread – Warm, spicy notes of cardamom, cinnamon and ginger. An embracing fragrance that fills any space with savory warmth. 
  • Evergreen – A bright woodsy scent that celebrates crisp winter nights. A true balsam fir fragrance.
  • Chestnut– Rich vanilla, brown sugar and cinnamon. A comforting earthy, nutty aroma.

RFA Lip Balm Soothe and protect your lips with our wonderfully flavored SPF lip balm. Our lip balm is formulated with high quality ingredients including beeswax and vitamin E, leaving your lips feeling naturally soft and protected. This Lip Balm features a unique Vanilla + Oatmeal scent. Made with natural milk proteins and oatmeal extract, this fragrance is a soft and soothing scent with hints of sweet milk, therapeutic oatmeal and grounding chamomile.

RFA Body Scrub– Pamper yourself with our sugar scrub this winter. It is a luxurious, gentle sugar-cane based exfoliant which hydrates and protects skin. This combination of pure coconut oil and delicate sugar leaves your skin feeling smooth and lightly fragranced.  Available in 3 unique scents. 

RFA Diffuser Give the gift of a long-lasting, subtle fragrance to any room with an  RFA Reed Diffuser. Available in 3 unique scents:

  • Fresh – A captivating scent, Ambergris pairs deep amber with refreshing ozonic notes, sumptuous florals and a whisper of musk.
  • Peony – This authentic floral fragrance is delicate, yet heady with peaceful, watery notes.
  • Vanilla + Oatmeal – Made with natural milk proteins and oatmeal extract, this fragrance is a soft and soothing scent with hints of sweet milk, therapeutic oatmeal and grounding chamomile.

The thicker reeds saturate thoroughly, allowing release of their scent consistently throughout the day, rather than having to be activated, like a candle. You can leave the reed diffuser all day long and it will do the work for you – even during the night! We use only the highest quality essential oils and fragrance. 

FRAGRANCE

Chanel Blue Cologne for Men – No matter the age of that special male in your life, they deserve a fragrance of sophistication. Chanel Blue is a luxurious aromatic woody perfume. It’s my favorite cologne for Sal! 😉

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle My favorite timeless fragrance. The warm floral scent with notes of Orange, Patchouli, Turkish Rose. A couple spritz of this will leave you feeling feminine and confident! As Coco Chanel once said, “Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” Never doubt your own beauty and confidence! 🩷

FITNESS

My Favorite Leggings- 1st PhormGive the gift of style, comfort and support with these Elements Leggings. Whether you’re crushing a EMOM workout, at hot yoga, or enjoying a casual day out, these Element Leggings will be your new favorite go-to workout pants. The high waistband is flattering for any figure and the high performance material is like no other. Available in 3 staple colors. 

My Favorite Tank- 1st PhormThe perfect workout tank top with a built in bra meets style. Pair the Solstice Tank with your favorite leggings for the perfect gym look, or throw on a jacket and your go-to sneakers for a laid-back, athleisure outfit that will take you from your workout to errands in chic style. I love the square neckline and that it comes in 6 different colors. Of course, black and white are a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. 

HydroJug + Hydration SticksMy favorite hydration combination! One way to help boost my hydration and water intake is by pouring one of these amazing tasting hydration sticks in my water. This amazing 40 ounce water tumbler keeps water fresh all day long and is leakproof. There really is something to say about drinking more water when you have a cute, fancy cup! I love the convenience of the flipstraw and that it fits in your car cupholder. Available in black, white & pink. 

1P hydration sticks are convenient, taste great and really help balance electrolytes. They come in Citrus, Strawberry & Lemonade. Hydration sticks are perfect for proper hydration before, during or after your workout and add a nice flavor to water.
