In this cozy Christmas reset vlog, I’m taking y’all along for a little life update, a quick Ulta Beauty haul, and some simple holiday decorating to get our space feeling festive. I started the day bundled up (because it is freezing) and ran out to grab a few things I needed—plus I popped into HomeGoods for some specific holiday essentials. I’m also keeping it real about how busy I’ve been juggling content and stay-at-home mom life, and why I’m trying to prioritize these slower, reset moments. I also share what I picked up, from gift bags and luxe wrapping paper (because I like the heavy duty kind—my kids will try it) to my hazelnut Dunkin’ K-Cups now that my taste buds are finally back postpartum. On the beauty side, I grabbed Medicube skincare that I’m excited to test (including the viral jelly and a collagen night mask), plus press-on nails and my go-to L’Oréal setting spray. Then we decorate—minimalistic on purpose—because Mai will absolutely touch everything. I add clear lights to my olive branch trees and fluff my 6.5 ft Amazon Christmas tree (tedious, but worth it). The takeaway: you can still make it feel like Christmas without doing the most, especially in a real-life mom season.
