Hey everyone! Hope you’ve been celebrating and enjoying Christmas in July!

My Husband, Willie, and I certainly have. We’ve been watching Christmas movies, there’s Christmas music playing on my favorite radio station, and I just ordered a small Christmas tree for our fireplace area.

I really enjoy inviting the Christmas spirit and feel in during the middle of the year, it’s so fun.

So, to wrap up this month of Christmas joy, not only is Avon hosting a Summer Sizzling Sale featuring Christmas items, but I have also just sent all my Email A-Listers (2) Coupon Gift Codes to use by the end of July.

Late Summer to Fall Florals

LYRD Rose du Soleil Parfum from Avon with Sun-Ripened Raspberry, Enchanting Rose, and Spicy Pathouli. — Lyrd Rose du Soleil by Avon

I love the transition from one season to another. There are suddenly hints of nuance that guide you gently into the feels and aromas of the new season.

One of my favorite transitional times is from Summer to Fall. I love how the colors go from very bright and vibrant to increasingly dark and rich. I also love the aromas of the upcoming Autumn. It all just really gets me in a comfy, but also festive mood.

A great way to transition yourself personally from one season to the next is with the colors in which you adorn yourself (in your wardrobe, makeup, jewelry, etc.), and also in the aromas you wear or have wafting throughout your home.

Avon has a couple of new LYRD (layers redefined) Parums (perfumes) that are perfect for the transition from late Summer into Fall. Each has notes of uplifting freshness combined with a hints of richer, darker spices such as Patchouli and Warm Amber.

First, pictured above, is LYRD Rose du Soleil with radiant notes of sun-ripened raspberry, enchanting rose, and spicy patchouli. This reminds me so much of a bright Summer garden transitioning into Fall.

LYRD Bouquet de Freesia Parfum from Avon with Freesia, Tulip, and Warm Amber. — LYRD Bouquet de Freesia Eau de Parfum

And another Summer garden transitioning into Fall aroma blend for you, LYRD Bouquet de Freesia Eau de Parfum. You get an unexpected mix of sweet Freesia and Tulip, blended with the warmth of Amber.

Which is your favorite aroma combination?

Avon also features 4 specialty LYRD Candles that are also perfect for the late Summer to Fall transition.

LYRD Juicy Currant and Magnolia Candle from Avon. Great for late Summer into Fall aroma. — LYRD Juicy Currant & Magnolia Candle

There are 4 blends to choose from: Rose Blossom & Musk, Juicy Currant & Magnolia, Violet & Birch, and Peony & Cedar. Here’s a link to view all 4.

Wonderful late Summer to Fall blends.

I hope you find your favorites to bring cheer to the Seasonal changes coming soon. I already see people out looking for Fall decor for their homes. It’s time to get into the mood, but I will let Summer linger a little while longer, and these aroma blends are just perfect for that.

Till next time, have a wonderful Sunday tomorrow. I hope you have fun plans.

Eat Your Black-Eyed Peas at Midnight for Good Luck! Happy New Year!

Black-Eyed Peas for New Years Good Luck — Jfay’s Beauty Blog

Who’s ready to ring in 2021? I know I am! Woo Hoo! I am so ready to just put 2020 in the rear-view mirror, be thankful for making it through intact (and with much gained new gratitude), and head into this new year with very high hopes.

And with high hopes at the beginning of every new year, eating black-eyed peas right after Midnight has been a family tradition that my husband and I have acknowledged since we were first married, 37 years ago. This came from his dear mother, Reba, who always told us to “Eat your black-eyed peas at Midnight for good luck!” It’s one of those southern “thangs” I suppose. I know it dates back to the Civil War. But for us it’s just fun, and something that we look forward to every New Year’s Eve. Which, I’ve got to get mine going here in just a few. I like to let them cook long and slow so they get thickened up really good, and they are hot and ready to serve right after the stroke of Midnight.

Do not want to leave anything to chance this year, right? 🙂

I hope you have a wonderful New Year’s celebration and that you have family traditions of your own that you enjoy. I’d love to hear all about your traditions. Feel free to leave a comment below!

Cheers to you and yours! Cheers to a very prosperous 2021 for all of us! Cheers to good health for all in 2021!

Avon Christmas Brochure and Catalog Christmas 2020. Online shopping.

Avon Christmas 2020 is Here! Step Inside for a Parisian Holiday

Hello everyone! Are you ready for a Parisian Holiday? Yay!

I think this may be my favorite Avon Brochure cover yet. I love the Christmas in Paris theme this year. It’s just what we need to lift our spirits.

So, come on, step inside the C.24 Brochure with me for a look at our Parisian Holiday!

Avon’s Paris themed Christmas is a collection of chic limited-edition goodies full of vintage charm and romance, like Dreamlife Cologne, bottled in a very unique Eiffel Tower spray bottle. The perfume itself is a magical blend of mimosa flower, aspirational rose, and glowing amber. It arrives in a Parisian-themed gift box. How special would this be to give as a gift this year? And you know that this is going to be a collector’s item. So fun!

Say hello to Yvette. Isn’t she gorgeous?

You will find Yvette sitting pretty on Page 8 of the C.24 Brochure. She is filled with a fruity floral bubble bath. I love these vintage cat bubble bath decanters and am so happy to see them (well, her) make a come-back. I remember these from my childhood. Brings back really warm memories. Just imagine how she’ll warm someone else’s heart this year.

Hold the presses! This stunning beauty stopped me in my tracks!

Avon has pulled out all the stops for this gorgeous Statement Necklace, and it’s only $44.99. Fete Fabulous, indeed! You can find this beautiful necklace on page 13.

And accompanying the Statement Necklace, check out what’s on Page 12:

Avon has released another collection of Iconic Jewelry for Christmas this year. This collection truly has a romantic vintage look and feel. I am definitely eyeballing the Starburst Pin. I think it is going to be my “must-have” item this year. I have really been enjoying wearing brooches again, they’ve seemed to have made a come-back, at least in my heart.

Let’s see, how about some Christmas home decor to swoop you away to France?

I love that they’re calling it Bonjour Decor. It’s so beautiful and luminous. I think my favorite may be the Light-Up Cutout Star. How about you? Which is grabbing at your heart-strings? You can shop the entire collection on pages 16-17.

And my last, but not least, favorite pick from this Parisian excursion of holiday joy, is some makeup, of course! We’re backing it up to Pages 6-7.

Vive Le Makeup! On Page 6 you’ll see the City of Light Illumiator Powders. These little containers are so cute and so fun to use. I got one last year from that season’s style, and I really love it. The little powder puff is adorable and so soft. Very easy to apply color to your cheeks with the fluffy puff, and it’s just different and very feminine. This year’s collection of illuminating powders are delicate and illuminating. They add a lasting touch of radiance to your face and neck areas. The color choices are Charm, Bonjour, and Champagne.

You will find the Love in Paris Eye Palette on Page 7, along with the Dazzle Me Makeup Brush Set and Voilette Veil Holographic Lip Gloss. These are all very giftable makeup items, in very gorgeous colors. Check out all the glittery eyeshadows in the Paris Eye Palette.

I hope you enjoyed your Parisian Christmas tour and that you’ll stop by and stroll throughout the entire C.24 Brochure. There is still a lot to see that we did not visit here.

You can also stroll through the Virtual Catalog – Click Here. It’s really cute. The kitty cats on the front cover come to life.

Avon’s Holiday Gift Guide is also up – You can browse the different categories and experience all the magic for yourself.

It’s all so fun and very exciting! I’m so happy that the Holiday Season is now upon us, and I’m very happy to share all the joy with you!

Welcome Fall with Gorgeous Seasonal Candles from Avon

And welcome to you all! (Or, y’all, as we say here in Texas!)

I’m sooooo excited that Fall has finally arrived. How about you? It’s definitely one of my favorite times of the year, when we welcome back the beautiful colors and aromas of Autumn, and hopefully some cooler weather. We’re sitting right in the middle of a tropical storm here in the Houston area, but oh well, I can still create the sense of Fall in my home, no matter what’s going on outside.

And what a gorgeous way to bring Fall into my home, and into your home! Avon has released their Seasonal Candles for this year, and they are stunning. I was so happy when I first saw these. I know I was smiling from ear to ear.

I don’t know about you, but some of these seem to have a Christmas theme to me. And, I do not know if this line will be for both Fall and Christmas, I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I can definitely already spy a few that will work for both for me. Let’s walk through each one and see what aroma blends they have to bring us comforts and joy.

I wanted to begin with my favorite – Pumpkin Pie! My husband and I both already agree that this is the one we want for our Autumn Candle. We always pick one together from Avon’s Seasonal Candle offerings. The aroma is Cinnamon Sugar, Sweet Pumpkin, and Warm Praline. Yuuuummmmm…..

And, before I go any further, I will let you know that each candle is listed for $25.00, but of course you get a special price when you shop my website. So your price and mine is $19.99. These are soy-blend candles for a cleaner burn. They are also 3 wick candles with a 30 hour burn time. And — the aromas are crafted by master perfumers, so la-di-da!

Okay — who’s next?

The Frosted Currant Candle. This one has the aroma of Currant, Magnolia, and Creamy Musk. I love how the scents are listed on each candle. No guess-work there. Makes it so much easier to quickly choose your favorite aromas.

Next is the Wreath Candle.

See, now this one reminds me of Christmas. The aromas are Juniper Berries, Frosted Fir Balsam, and Amber. Bet this one smells awesome. Will keep it in mind for Christmas for sure, or even the next one up, Nog.

This one sounds delicious with Pistachio, Spiced Vanilla, and Warm Milk. Definitely one to sit by the fireplace with, snuggled up with your honey. Or, perhaps the last one in the lineup is more for fireside snuggles?

This one’s really pretty with the vibrant red and gold. Flannel, with the aromas of Bergamot, Freesia, and Cedarwood. Very imaginative! I love the inspiration there.

So, have you picked your favorites, yet? Are you ready to get into the Fall spirit? Get your home in the Fall spirit? I know I am, and I’ve already begun. Cannot wait to get our Pumpkin Candle here and displayed where we can enjoy it’s beauty and aroma.

I wish you all a wonderful Autumn season filled with much joy, happiness, and beautiful Fall colors.
