Hi tartelettes!

Here we are, in the midst of another beautiful holiday season. The air is crisp and cold here in the Northeast, our holiday shopping has begun, decorating is in full swing, and everything feels so joyful and bright.

When I think of the holidays, I can’t help but think of the hundreds of things I need to check off my "to do" list in order to prepare for this festive and super-busy time of year. The cleaning, cooking, shopping--it can definitely feel overwhelming at times! I think we sometimes get so caught up in all of the things that we have to do, that we let ourselves take a backseat.

This year, I want to encourage you to take a different approach to the holidays by taking a few moments to enjoy your own sweet indulgences--life’s simple pleasures that put you at ease and make you truly happy.

I read an interview with Meredith Vieira recently where she said something that really hit home: “Women are so nurturing. We feel we have to take care of everybody but ourselves. But the truth is, you’re no good to others unless you’re good to yourself."

Our sweet indulgences collection was inspired by just that--being good to yourself.

Make time to recharge! Whether you leisurely sip your morning cup of coffee to clear your head, take a daily stroll, or relax in a peaceful bubble bath, if you don’t care for yourself, you won’t be able to sustain anyone else. A few of my sweet indulgences include evening walks on the beach near my house with my husband and enjoying my morning cup of chai tea at my desk before the day gets crazy. These little things put me at ease just enough to be able to really take on the rest of my life with a clear mind.

This season, I want to pass on the same advice to you, so I've hand-selected all of my favorite products to create a treat to enjoy as a gift to ourselves, or our best girlfriends, moms and sisters. I want to encourage you to take those few precious moments a day to do what makes you feel good and happy. When we feel good, we look good, and a smile is the best beauty product you can use.

I’m so looking forward to spending a whole day with all of you on QVC and talking about our sweet indulgence collection along with the rest of our holiday treats!

XO,
Maureen
