Waiting on Martha's Holiday Guide

As you can probably tell here on the blog, the WOM team is in the holiday spirit. We couldn’t be more thrilled to debut our Holiday Field Guide today, choc-o-blocked full of festive inspiration for you to enjoy all season long. 

In our clickable 40-page guide, we’ve shared dozens of our favorite seasonal recipes (don’t miss that homemade hot cocoa on page 11!) and stunning photo shoots from Christmases past. We’ve also included hot gift guide finds for all of those special someones on your list (and maybe yourselves, let’s be honest here). To best enjoy the guide, be sure to expand the view and flip through each and every page (stopping to click on any finds that catch your eye!).

From the entire WOM team, we hope this guide serves as a helpful and inspiring resource during this crazy and magical time. Ho ho ho! Cheers, Kat

P.S. We even invited a few of our faves to join in on the fun! Big hugs to Gaby Burger, Cheri Leavy, Jenn Gietzen, Jess Graves, Kathryn McCrary, Kristin Jackson, Mrs. Lilien, Robert and Tiffany Peterson, Riley Peterson. xo

FINAL-TheWeekinReview8

1 // We released ALL NEW Emily Ley 2017 Daily Simplified Planners in the shop, and to celebrate, we offered FREE SHIPPING for your Simplified Planners with code PLANNERS. Hurry and snag yours before they’re gone! 

2 // I brought a few pairs of old jeans into Madewell.  The brand is offering a little more than your run-of-the-mill recycling program; your jeans will help provide insulation for the homes of those in need AND you get $20 off a new pair Madewell jeans

3 // We’re all dreaming of the French coast (and Tory Burch’s packing list!).

4 // MKR’s been in London all week, and looking the part, thanks to Trunk Club.  This new take on having a personal stylist can be just what your capsule wardrobe needs. 

5 // We look to Garden & Gun for breathtaking photography in every issue.  But those times in between each issue?  Well now we can follow some of their most talented contributing photogs via Instagram for a little added inspo.  P.S. we spy our girl Kathryn McCrary

6 // So it’s safe to say a lot of us are deficient in Magnesium and Vitamin D.  Do you take any of these important supplements for your mental wellbeing? 

7 // MKR has us all convinced we need to get on the ‘Walking Dead’ train.  Her excitement over this Season 7 trailer was contagious. 

8 // We enjoyed this interesting read about personal branding via social media, and how friends and family can sometimes be your biggest haters. To be honest, I sometimes hesitate when posting things on Instagram because people may roll their eyes, thinking that I’m a wannabe blogger…but this post helped remind me that I can post whatever that makes me happy and totally own it. 

9 // I spent a few hours wrapped up in the gorgeous new issue of Rue Magazine; literally every page left me inspired. Oh, and I picked my jaw up on off after gushing over this Nashville (!) home tour

10 // Lots of end-of-summer produce on your hands? Here are 5 great things to do with all of it – MKR this one’s for you and that garden of yours. 

11 // We’re all big GOT fans, so we were all about this gorgeous production news for the new season.

I wouldn’t call myself a beauty junkie, I’m more like search-and-search-till-I-find-what-works-and-then-become-obsessively-loyal-pry-it-from-my-cold-dead-hands-product-junkie.  So when I say I have products I can’t live without, I mean it.  Sure those items change on occasion dependent on the season and as I age I invest more in the care of my skin than in the past, but all in all I’ve found a beauty regimen that works for me, and today I wanted to share a little piece of that.  Specifically the 5 best beauty products I cannot live without and I’d love to hear if you have any products that you hoard like there’s no tomorrow?  truly, MKR  

01.  Estee Lauder Stress Relief Eye Mask.  For those mornings when I’m looking extra puffy. 

02.  Clarisonic Opal.  I’ve used the Clarisonic brush for years so when the Opal hit the market I knew I had to try it.  Specifically targeted for the under eye area when used on a regular basis I’ve seen a dramatic improvement.  Are you spotting an eye trend yet?  My eyes are what is starting to really show my age.

03.  YSL Touche Eclat.  A game changer, and final step in erasing under eye circles and dark spots.  I literally use this every single day and swear by it.  Just make sure you buy one color lighter than you would normally go, you need this to illuminate as well as blend.  I wear the lightest shade possible, #1.

04.  Bare Minerals Foundation and Mineral Veil.  The only foundation that doesn’t seem to irritate my skin plus it has a SPF keeping that pale complexion of mine pale.

05.  YSL Burgundy Mascara.  I’m a natural blonde which means my eyelashes are practically translucent in color so I don’t leave the house without mascara, and currently I’m obsessed with YSL’s burgundy mascara for a more natural day look.

Not on the list, but just as much of a daily necessity; Clinique All About Eyes Serum, Amore Pacific Hydrating Creme, plus my signature pink lip.

*Ban.do twist scarf (additional patterns available), Pomegranate robe, Marigot leopard pajamas (additional patterns available), Essie Russian Roulette nail polish
