In case you missed it, I am posting daily in December with a fit challenge.Ā āFitā meaning all aspects of taking care of yourself.Ā Ā For many reasons, December skin care is really important and no need to lose sight of that during the holidays.

Remember Jessy I mentioned a while back? Who not only started her aesthetician business during the pandemic, but also managed to thrive?Ā Well, Skin Esteem is going strong and has moved to a new location here locally. Ā For new clients sheās offering a 20% discount for your first service in December at her new location.Ā If youāre interested Iām happy to share her coupon code.

Though youāre probably well versed in skin care, Jessy shared a few winter and holiday skin tips to keep top of mind during our December challenge.
- Exfoliate gently 2 ā 3 times a week.
- Remove your make up before bed. Even if youāre home late from a party.
- Wear SPF. Sunscreen is still necessary this time of year.
Jessy has a lot of great product available for sale – with or without a facial service.

I picked up some serum and a mask. I’ll report back next week how good I look!
Simmer Potpourri
Last year for my own kitchen, I made some holiday potpourri to simmer in my Crockpot.Ā This year, I gathered up the ingredients, bought some adorable jars at Dollar Tree and put together some cute jars as gifts.Ā Hereās what I used:

Dehydrated Oranges
A thinly sliced orange went into the counter-top oven on dehydrate mode for two hours and then dried naturally for several days.Ā If desired, you can roll the slices in sugar before dehydrating for a pretty shine.

Other Ingredients
- Fresh rosemary sprigs
- Vanilla pod
- Cinnamon sticks
- Bay leaves
- Cloves
- Fresh cranberries
Printed instructions went on the back of a Christmas label and were tied on with twine and a jingle bell.

Since Iām not a very crafty person, I thought these turned out cute and I would not be embarrassed to gift them.
Wrap Up
I hope your weekend is a good one. I’ll be popping back on tomorrow for a quick challenge post. God bless.
