Ho ho ho and a Merry Holiday Season to you all!! This is Santa Natalie here 🤶 reporting to you LIVE from the shipping desk, and do you know what that means? It’s time for my 🎄 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAYS!!!! 🎄 My little elves and I have been working around. the. clock. to make our SIXTH year in a row bigger and more amazing than ever. I promise, it’s going to blow your socks off. We have GREAT prizes to share, all from brands that I’m so excited to be working with (33 in total!!!) and amounting in total to over  $18,000 CAD in value! Eeeeeeeeee!!! 

So keep an eye on my blog since that’s where I’ll be posting details about the prizes and how to get your hands on them. We’ve REALLY outdone ourselves this time. Oh, and did I mention that we have not one but two (yes, TWO) bonus days???? That’s FOURTEEN DAYS of giveaways happening on my BRAND NEW SITE. I am SO excited to finally be sharing this with all of you after months and months of planning, plotting, calculating, swatching, and keeping it alllllll under wraps 😉 Building a new site has been a huge priority for me so that we have a place to hang out that really feels like home, and you’ve all been such a great support over this past year that I wanted to give you the BIGGEST and WARMEST thank you I possibly could! This is going to be SUCH an amazing year!! I will see you RIGHT HERE from now until December 14th with a new giveaway EACH. DAY. 🎁🎁

Welcome to day 13 of giveaways!! That means it’s Day 1 of our 2 Bonus Days. Wow how are we this far in our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways already??? It makes me so excited though, because of course it means we’re super close to Christmas ☺️☺️

This is probably one of my favourite packages since we are giving away ALL of my Favourite things!!! So gee I wonder why haha. These are items I simply CAN’T live without, and I’m overjoyed to share them with all of you! Especially over these last couple years, I just want you to have the things at home that make you feel good when you need it most. This is our BIGGEST package yet, with a total value of $3185.00 CAD if you can believe it!!!!

Cat and Tae

Okay, to start we have the Holiday Candle Set from Cat and Tae Collective that’s valued at approximately $114.00 CAD. I’m obsessed.. (well obviously these are my favourite things haaha) but SERIOUSLY. These two girls Cat and Tae are so awesome and are doing amazing things. I’m so honoured to support them as they are quite a young company but local and their Holiday collection is incredible!! 

It includes 3 signature Christmas drink-scented candles that REAELLY smell like these signature drinks. You’ll be pleasantly surprised. There’s Spiked Hot Cocoa, Rum & Eggnog and Irish Coffee

For the record, I thought the Spiked Hot Cocoa would be my fave because I LOVE a good hot chocolate, but actually the Irish Coffee smells delectable!!! I LOVE the packaging and have styled all 3 in my living room, I love them all THAT much. They match my decor perfectly. These are not your grandma’s candles haha, that’s for sure!!

WithinUS

Next up we have another set, this time from WithinUS. This has been a staple in my life for SO long now. I’ve loved them from the very beginning when Tami founded it back in 2013. Has it been THAT long?! WOW and since then I’ve literally given everyone in my life this product and have gotten them hooked on it too 😂 One of my newest FAVES is the Oat Creamer, and I love putting this in my tea or coffee in the morning. 

ONE lucky winner is going to receive 7 of their most popular and my favourite products, all valued at approximately $350.00 CAD!!!! This includes: 

1 x Cacao Misto + TruMarine® Collagen 

1 x TruMarine® Collagen – 20 stick packs 

1 x TruMarine® Collagen – 50 serving jar 

1 x Oat Creamer + TruMarine® Collagen 

1 x Coconut Creamer + TruMarine® Collagen 

1 x TruMarine® Collagen + Magnesium 

1 x ReHydrate + TruMarine® Collagen TWIST 

I LOVE their company and what they are about: 

WithinUS is an independent, Canadian business (Vancouver based) 

– They are women owned and operated! 

WithinUS offers PREMIUM wellness products that are simply THE best 

It’s also 100% natural, so I personally chose to keep taking it during pregnancy and post-partum and have had glowing skin and no post-partum hair loss!!! This would be a GREAT gift to share with a friend since there’s just SO much product!!

Smash and Tess 

Okay so you’ve seen me talk about Smash + Tess EVERYWHERE, and that’s for good reason!!! The ULTIMATE level of cozy is sporting a romper all day (and all night LOL)!! Who’s with me? 

Seriously though, my family all loves our rompers and the best part about them is the fact that you can easily dress them up or down which is perfect for those conference calls that pop up throughout the day! Too perfect for WFH days when you only need to pop into a meeting and then you can go back to rewatching the Bachelor LOL.

So for our holiday giveaway, Smash + Tess is generously gifting you 1 best-selling Romper and ALSO 1 mini romper of your choice!!! Together these are valued at approximately $175.00 CAD!!! So you and your little one can be all matchy and cozy on the couch while watching Frozen together for the millionth time 😉 LOL. They’ll ship the rompers directly to the winner, once they have your mailing address and preferred sizes and style.

Saje 

Okay lol, is it really my favourite things without Saje?!! I think not!!! What can I say, it’s true love here:

“Saje Natural Wellness believes that all humans deserve physical and emotional wellness. For over 25 years, Saje has been creating 100% natural, plant-based, personal-care products for your mind, body and home. This holiday season, Saje has curated a collection of products and gift sets to help you feel your best and give the gift of wellness to the ones you love.”

I COULD NOT love this more. I am so adamant about working with brands whose core values are in line with my own, and Saje is definitely a company that I admire!!! I am so excited to give one lucky winner the chance to win these items (with a total value of approximately  $350.00 CAD!!):

I have the 24 Days of Wellness Calendar and I decided I’m going to use it as MY OWN advent calendar this year and take part in our family’s advent calendar opening ceremonies~ Usually I’m the one organizing it every year for everyone else but this year I have my box to open too!! #TreatYourSelf!! I can’t wait… it’s a mama’s dream to have the gift of wellness each day for 24 days until Christmas.. I will feel spoiled well before Christmas is even here 🤪

The Sugar Plum Fairy Duo is heaven! I have the jute bag in my shower and use it everytime I’m in there. It’s hard not to. It’s such a nice moment of self-care for my body and a nice way to reset or start the day! Smells incredible, like Christmas in a bag! 

The new Aroma Nook Diffuser looks so good, it’s a part of our decor!! I styled it on our Haven side tables in the living room and it looks like it was meant for this space. This limited-edition vanilla-coloured herringbone design is exclusive for the holidays and makes the perfect introduction to diffusing. Even Pierce knows how to diffuse with it… he’s so cute he opens it up, fills with water and adds a few drops of Liquid Sunshine, puts the lid back on and turns it on with the light of course and watches the “steam” as he says come out and takes a BIG calming breath. If that is not my child… hahaha. 

k’Pure Naturals

K’Pure Naturals is one of my FAVOURITE local shops from Mission BC. Karen has quickly become one of my girlfriends, she was even at my baby shower!! She is just amazing and has an incredible story of how she got to where she is and I’m SO proud of what she has accomplished. 

We are giving away some of her newest items, with a package total of approximately $72.00 CAD!! The package includes: the Coconut Lime Lightweight Deep Moisture Lotion and a few of my faves the Sugar Mama (I guess that’s me? haha) Ultra-Rich Moisturizing Scrub, Settle Down Calming Essential Oil Spray and Vanilla SMOOCH Super Moisturizing Lip Balm

Who else feels like it’s such a luxurious thing to put on lotion after a shower or a bath??? Also it’s SO good for your skin and hydrating. It’s something I don’t always have time for but when I do it makes a world of difference to my skin health as well as my mental health and self-care needs!!!I spray the Settle Down Spray multiple times a day, it smells SO good and when I take a moment to really breathe it in, it’s a nice reminder to take a minute for myself in all the craziness of the season I’m in. And last but not least the Vanilla SMOOCH Lip Balm is my absolute FAVOURITE lip balm because it actually works and is super hydrating even on the worst winter days. I have one everywhere, in multiple purses, travel bags, bathroom drawers, car consul and kitchen drawer. Literally everywhere and it really comes in handy anytime my lips are feeling a bit dry. Gary loves it too. 

Cle de Peau

Clé de Peau will be the MOST luxurious skincare you have ever experienced and I’ve quickly become obsessed with it. The packaging is even so beautiful I styled them on my vanity and will leave them there LONG after I’ve used up all their skin quenching goodness 😆. 

If you have yet to try Clé de Peau, let me tell you- it’s a SERIOUS game-changer. It’s definitely quite pricey but if you want to splurge… I highly recommend doing it with this. 

La Crème, valued at approximately $700.00 CAD, is described as: “The enchanted garden magnifies your radiance for a new confidence, a new energy, a new beauty– inside and out.” Okay. Say no more! But continue. It’s formulated with Ceraferment Extract and a highly concentrated Skin-Empowering Illuminator powered by precious Platinum Golden Silk, all of which helps to enhance the skin’s ability to defend itself against stressors that cause visible signs of aging. Yes please!

Le Sérum, valued at approximately $450.00 CAD, delivers vital moisture to skin, boosting skin’s suppleness and hydration while priming it for optimal absorption of Clé de Peau skincare. This powerful serum supports absorption and efficacy of skincare treatments, strengthening skin from within. Through continued use, it will enhance your skin for a softer, glowing, and smoother texture with increased suppleness, resilience, and hydration. My mouth is literally watering.

You will feel SO fancy after utlziing all of their benefits you’ll notice an immediate difference in your skin’s texture, suppleness and hydration! I just wish there was more that came in the jars. This product is sooo precious and special, and what a treat to be able to gift it! Together, La Crème and Le Sérum are worth approximately $1150.00 CAD!!! 

I Luv It Natural Deodorant

What can I say… I do LUV It, LOL. I Luv It is my favourite natural deodorant because it actually works and smells amazing (like I would eat it amazing)!! I love the Vanilla Without Baking Soda, that’s my ultimate fave but honestly they are ALL truly amazing. A great stocking stuffer or gift for your bestie! 

I Luv It is Leaping Bunny certified and eco friendly! 6 ingredients or less and actually works! They’re also transitioning to biodegradable packaging. YAY! How great is that??

So re: the goodies….I Luv It is giving away a $250.00 CAD PACKAGE of their products, and are letting YOU pick out what you want!! They have so many great products that will leave you smelling great for the whole year, or help you to fill gift packages for friends and fam ☺️

Plus, I Luv It is another local small shop I love to support out of Abbotsford, BC ❤️. The owner Kristin has actually been evacuated from her home recently due to the floods and has had so much damage to her other baby oriented business and could use any help or support. If you are in a position to help please reach out directly to lend a helping hand! I know she will appreciate any love or support that comes her way!! She would love to hear from you via her Instagram, here

Muse Social Fashion House

Muse Social Fashion House is a born and bred Canadian brand (you’re speaking my language here) developed by a local female wife, mother and entrepreneur…. Or a Mompreneur 😉 

And Muse Social Fashion House is giving away one of their super cosy Vancouver Sweatshirts and Toque, valued at approximately $116.00 CAD!! I LOVE this simple yet chic design which is soon to become a staple in your wardrobe. (Side note: I can’t take myself away from their shop page- there are too many cute cozy basics and they’re so well styled… ugh we’re SO cut from the same cloth.)

Nude by Nature 

Nude by Nature is basically the only brand of makeup I wear. I love them and continue to fall in love with their new products that they release… 

I really value natural, cruelty-free makeup, actually how my love for NxN started when I was pregnant and uber aware of what I was putting on my skin as that would also affect my growing baby inside. Enter Nude by Nature and I’ve never looked back since. 

The rose gold packaging is GORGEOUS and looks good on your bathroom counter, in your vanity or at your desk but better yet the product works and does exactly what it says it will do. In my experience with natural products that’s not always the case but in fact their colours are beautiful from their blush to their lip gloss and lipsticks to their eyeshadows!! 

Their NEW ultimate limited-edition brush collection featuring 15 cruelty-free makeup brushes in a luxe, faux leather brush roll is seriously incredible and makes an amazing gift for the woman on your list! Their brush set features essential complexion, eye and lip brushes for precise makeup application. I love to take this when I’m on the go or travelling with the faux leather brush roll. It makes it easy to see what brushes I have and yet pack them away seamlessly.  

We are giving away some of their newest items… valued at approximately $458.00 CAD!!
