Check out these simple New Year’s Eve hair & makeup tricks to look beautiful when you say, 3, 2, 1, Happy New Year!

Here on the east coast, winter is upon us with full force and I’ve been bundling up as best as I can. Good thing I’ve found the perfect winter hat that I just love. It’s super adorable and all but I still dread having hat hair. Luckily, I’ve discovered a few tricks to keep my hair full and fabulous despite being smooshed under a hat. Try these tips and you’ll be able to avoid that flat, staticky hair we all shudder at.

Dry hair completely: If you normally let your hair air dry, blowdry it completely before putting on your hat. Otherwise your hat will flatten out wet hair and there won’t be any hope for resuscitation.

Use Moisturizing Products: The more hydrating the product, the less frizz and friction you’ll get with your hat.

Give Hair Powder a Go: Sprinkle a little to the inside of your hat to help prevent static. (Try Klorane ECO Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk, $18.)

Clip Hair: Twist your hair into a high bun or clip before donning your hat. Then untwirl when you take your hat off and flip your head upside down and give it a little shake. Your style will be sure to have stayed in place.

When I shop for holiday presents for my friends and family, I look for gifts that don’t require wrapping. Not just because wrapping paper is useless waste of paper, but also because trying to wrap a gift perfectly is a useless waste of time!

Now, before you start thinking that everyone on my list gets stuck with a pair of Isotoner slippers that come pre-wrapped in holiday packaging, I want to clue you into a super-cute gift that fits my no-wrap bill. Victoria’s Secret Ornament Fragrances not only come in an adorable ornament-like packaging worthy of a spot on your tree, but there is a fragrance for everyone on your list. From the fun Victoria’s Secret Pink Fragrance to the sexier Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels Heavenly Eau de Parfum, I’ve stocked up on loads of these to parcel out. Plus, since they cost only 10 dollars each, you won’t have to leave anyone off your list. Merry indeed.

This week I spoke with mom bloggers about ways to keep you skin soft and beautiful all winter long. One of the most surprising tips? Switch to a dye- and perfume-free detergent. Why? Well, skin is more sensitive this time of year. So since you’re wearing your clothes against your skin all day, you want to wash your clothes in a detergent that’s milder. My favorite is Tide Free & Gentle and Downy Free & Sensitive. Check out this video with even more tips I shared with Maryanne at www.lipglossedmom.com.
