Mom's Day Off

 > Festive fashion: All of the upcoming parties are a great excuse to splurge on the perfect party dress and accessories, and stores such as Nordstrom and Express are filled with great options to choose from. Still, with the tight economy, not everyone can afford a new outfit for every event on the calendar. The timeless little black dress is a great option for budget-savvy babes, since a versatile black dress can be changed up using many different accessories – from jackets to shoes to jewelry. A little goes a long way. > Hot hair: The holidays are a great time to experiment with new looks. If you usually wear your hair down, pull it back into a chic chignon or a sleek ponytail accessorized with a bejeweled headband. If you traditionally wear your hair straight, why not surprise your family and friends by donning a headful of gorgeous curls. Starting in small sections, curl your entire head of hair with a 1-inch barrel curling iron, and try Hot Tools’ Helix 1” Curling Iron ($48). Lock in the look with ENJOY’s Super Hold Hairspray ($15.95). Both products are available at Planet Beauty stores or at planetbeauty.com. > Merry makeup looks: Champagne – Not just for toasting, it also happens to be one of the season’s hottest eye shadow shades. Champagne eye shadow can be worn alone or layered, and it looks great on everyone. Red lipstick – Rock on the red with this classic holiday look. > The gift of relaxation: Remember, not even a supermodel would look good sporting dark circles, breakouts and an otherwise frazzled appearance. Do your skin a healthy favor and keep stress at bay by taking time out of your crammed holiday schedule to relax. Rejuvenation Gifts makes it easy to unwind with the Ultimate Relaxation Spa Package ($89), a collection of lavender bath and body products, which are known for their stress-relieving properties. A total relaxation package should include candles, bubble baths, and listening to relaxing music – all of which can be found at rejuvenationgifts.com. Janae Raphael is a writer and founder of J.Jems Communications, a PR firm specializing in beauty and wellness. janae@jjems.biz •> Mom’s Giveaway Holiday Hope Who couldn’t use a little Hope right now? Share a toast to the season while helping some great causes. Newport Beach-based Hope Wine, launched last year, has garnered national attention with its unique concept.

Congratulations to Christina Leffridge of Lake Elsinore, the winner of a PureBeauty carrying case full of exclusive Nick Arrojo hair-care products. Kelly's Spa Give yourself the gift of luxury If you do get a chance to visit the Mission Inn Hotel and Spa’s Festival of Lights this holiday season, or if you resolve to make more time for self-pampering in the coming year, Kelly’s Spa in Riverside is the perfect Tuscan-inspired sanctuary to achieve just that. Before creating the spa, owner Kelly Roberts, of Laguna Beach, went on a spa tour of Europe – Italy, in particular – to find the most sumptuous treatment techniques, cutting-edge ingredients and ideal décor. The results are the perfect complement to the hotel’s dynamic architecture, with cozy fireplaces, marble floors, metallic inlays, rich woods and floral displays in each room. Celebrating the season with the tagline, “Spa la la la la,” Kelly’s Spa is offering holiday treatment packages that will be a gift to your senses and yourself. > The Berry Merry Christmas package includes a berry hydrating scrub, cranapple delight facial, sparkling berry cocktail and cherry blossom manicure, which are all rich in vitamin C. This helps to erase fine lines, even out skin tone and brightens the complexion. > Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice package comes with a cinnamon- spiced body scrub and is served with cinnamon apple cider and warm cinnamon rolls to stimulate your senses and nurture your holiday spirit. > All that Glitters is the spa’s 24-karat gold signature facial that offers the most anti-aging and lymphatic drainage possible. Once you’re done, your glow will rival the brightest candlelight. • Kelly’s Spa at the Mission Inn 3649 Mission Inn Ave. Riverside, CA 92501 951.784.0300 kellysspa.com |
