A Very Arbonne Christmas: Gift Guide Part 1

Oh my God! I'm finally talking about Christmas on the blog, and you know what this means - the countdown to Christmas is happening! I would also like to take the time out to say that I know that a lot of us are over 2020, and that we're looking forward to next year for that fresh start, but just remember that we have come so far from the start of the year, and that things will improve. Slowly, but surely, we are getting our lives back on track, and that is something that we can be grateful for. For now, though, we can look forward to some Christmas cheer and good Summer vibes in the Southern Hemisphere!

Today, I'm focusing on some gorgeous Christmas sets that landed on my desk from the Arbonne team, and I just wanted to walk you guys through their offerings! Let's start with the Lip & Cheek Mini Stick! There is a total of three Mini Ornaments from Arbonne, including a Mint Moisturizing Lip Balm, their Speak Volumes Mascara, and the pictured Lip & Cheek Mini Stick. The Lip & Cheek Mini Stick comes in the shade Poinsettia, which is wonderfully festive this time of year. What I love about this is that you can sneak it onto a tree of your choosing and hide a little surprise there for your intended recipient. Too cute!

This year, in addition to the mini ornaments, they have also released some super cute bundles, including the Mint Cooling Facial Set. This features a peppermint oil based facial oil and face mask duo, as well as a konjac sponge. Given the weekend we just had here in Sydney, I'm sure you'll agree that it's a welcome sight for keeping cool! On top of that, the products also come in a sweet little purple bag that you can reuse down the road.

Like the Mint Cooling Facial Set, the Shea Butter Hand Lotion Trio Gift Set comes in a purple reusable bag. While in any other year, this would be considered a nice gift, in 2020, I would say that this is likely to be essential. The scents that they picked for this set are Coconut, Apricot and Jasmine, so that you can go from feeling beachy, to that sunshiney brunch vibe, and finishing off with the scent that always reminds me of warm Summer evenings. Keep your little mitts protected, after all that handwashing and hand sanitising!

And of course, I may have just saved the best for last - I'm loving the look of the Sugared Amber Spa Gift Set! This comes in a super cute pink bag, which is adorable, and after this year, who doesn't need a home spa day? It includes bath salts for that long, in the tub, soak to reset your brain, and a body scrub to buff the day away, as well as a body mist for that layering effect, so you can really just seal it all in. It smells beautiful, and helps me think relaxing thoughts.

The bags that they are packaged in are really handy - they feel quite sturdy, and this also means that you don't need to splash out on wrapping, which would be one less stressor on Mother Earth. Seems small in the grand scheme of things, but every little bit helps! This year, Arbonne made a conscious decision to try and reduce the use of virgin plastic and paper, by going for recycled and reusable options. Just while we're on the topic of being eco-friendly, here are a few fun facts for your own knowledge - did you know the caps are made of 50% post-consumer recycled plastic, and that the tubes are made from 42% post-consumer recycled plastic? 

In fact, Arbonne is a BCorp company, which means that they are a certified company that looks at balancing purpose and profit, and strive to make decisions that result in a positive impact across their workers, customers, suppliers, community and the environment. Not only that, this isn't a one time certification - this is reassessed every three years. I feel like their Christmas offerings really showcase products that we need at this time of the year, after the 2020 we've had.
