Issue No. 5 | Holiday Party For One

Party For One.

By Clara Peirce

HOLIDAY PARTY FOR ONE? Sounds like music to my ears in the middle of holiday chaos! Sign me up for a night filled with an everything shower, a wine glass filled with green tea kombucha, and whatever is on my Netflix’s Top 10 recommendations.

Starting with the shower, I've got it down to a science. Shampoo & conditioner first, so my hair has time to soak in all of the moisture & then I move on to my body routine. If you know me, you know I love to multitask.

I’m trying to avoid my patchy self-tans of winter’s past, so the new Flamingo Smoothing Shave Scrub is first up. Afterward, time to oil up. I swapped my shaving cream for  Nourishing Shave Oil a while ago and I haven’t looked back. After exfoliating & shaving, I’ll rinse out my conditioner & THEN wash my body again (specifically my back). I’ve found that lingering conditioner can give me some back breakouts in the winter months (or maybe that’s from the sweatshirts I tend to hibernate in?).

The Soothing Shave Serum rounds out my glow shave routine —it’s truly like a serum for your body, soaks right in and doesn’t make me feel sticky or sweaty—and then it’s off to the kitchen in my robe to pour myself a fun drink, and straight to the couch to see what Netflix thinks I’ll like. They’re usually right… how do they know me so well?!

If we're peeking at my recent watchlist: the latest season of Lincoln Lawyer, A Bad Moms Christmas, and the Martha Stewart documentary of course.

I know, I know, not so fast! I should’ve known you’d want some details on the fun drink aspect. If you’re not a kombucha lover, try making this rosemary lemon refresher.  

CLARA'S ROSEMARY LEMON REFRESHER

Ingredients

Sparkling Water (or Prosecco)

Lemon Rosemary

Simple Syrup

Combine the juice of half a lemon with an ounce of rosemary simple syrup and pour over ice, top with sparkling water or Prosecco and stir. Garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of rosemary.

Hey now, this party for one is starting to feel like a party for two… time for me to sign off and find a new show. Thanks for reading & I hope you have a very glow-y holiday season.  

xx, Clara
