Hello Beautiful Souls,
As we come to the last days before Christmas, I wanted to send something a little quieter than usual.
Not a list.
Not an announcement.
Just a pause.
This season can feel full in so many ways: full calendars, full emotions, full expectations. And sometimes the most loving thing we can do is step back and breathe for a moment before the celebration begins.
That’s been on my heart as I close out this year.
🌲 A gentle Christmas listening invitation
If you’re craving a few calm minutes amid the noise, I created a short Christmas audio series called Season of Softness: a collection of gentle skincare and self-care moments designed for winter, weariness, and rest.
Each episode is simple and slow:
- comfort for dry, tired skin
- grounding through seasonal scents
- caring for hands that have held so much
- creating small pockets of rest during Christmas
It’s not something you need to “keep up with.”
It’s something you can return to whenever you need a quiet moment.
🎧 You can listen on YouTube whenever it fits into your day.
✨ A Christmas permission slip
Before I go, I want to offer you this: a small permission slip for the days ahead:
You are allowed to:
- do less
- keep things simple
- repeat the same cozy meals
- rest when your body asks
- care for your skin and soul without guilt
Christmas doesn’t require perfection.
Presence is enough.
May your home feel warm, even if it’s imperfect.
May your body feel cared for, even in small ways.
May your heart find moments of stillness and light.
I’ll be taking a quiet pause after Christmas, and I’ll see you in the new year — rested, reflective, and ready to begin again gently.
Thank you for being here with me this year. I’m so grateful to share this quiet corner of skincare, self-care, and reflection with you.
Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and a soft close to the year,
Carrie
