The Josie Maran Team has a new member who we know you will love just as much as we do -- Meet Adriane! You will start to see Adriane more and more presenting on-air, so we thought what better way to introduce her to you than with a fun blog all about her idea of holiday decadence! 

Is it just me or do the holidays seem to come earlier and earlier each year? I noticed today that the shops lining my street in New York City have already begun to decorate for Christmas! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE nothing more than extending the holiday cheer, but it just feels that the warm autumn that graced the east coast recently has tricked us into thinking the holiday season would be delayed as a result!

Josie and our team are very excited for the colder weather that’s coming. There’s nothing better than hot tea on the porch on a cool fall evening, or taking a rainy afternoon to plan out our Thanksgiving menus.

We were on the very important topic yesterday of Thanksgiving desserts! Josie said she couldn’t choose a favorite between pumpkin pie and apple pie, while others who weighed in chose neither! I myself have always been (and will always be) faithful to my pumpkin pie. Let us know in the comments what you prefer! Josie and her mother both love to cook and are always open to new recipe ideas.

We all know that with Thanksgiving comes the start of the holiday season - lots of running around to see family and friends, school holiday parties, and after-work get-togethers. Don’t forget to treat yourself this season, as it can be so easy to become stressed and not take time for yourself. A decadent bath at the end of a long day, or a cup of warm milk and honey just before bed can help you to relax and unwind. Don’t forget what’s most important about this season - spending unharried time with loved ones!

I have a new nightly routine I’m excited to share with you. Each night I make sure to hydrate before bed. That doesn’t just mean a cup of water for the body, it means too taking care of my skin! This time of year it is important to listen to your skin - my skin needs all over moisture I get with Unscented or Lavender Citrus Body Butter. In the colder weather I’ve learned to double up on those pesky dry spots - heels, elbows, and knees! With the Argan Decadence Collection, Josie put together, I met a new hydration teammate to do just the trick:  Honey Butter Balm! Its rich and custard-like texture is so yummy to put on spots that need extra love before bed. Honey Butter Balm is crafted to be unscented, but you can get a faint whiff of the delicious natural honey that’s churned into the argan oil-rich treatment.

Josie and I and the JMC team are always looking for inspiration - what’s something you did for yourself this week that is delectably decadent? If you can't think of anything at all, then you certainly deserve to treat yourself to our Decadent Bliss TSV! See the full spread of Josie's favorites below!
