Nira's Hot List – November 2020
Nira’s Hot List Contributed by Virgin Radio Morning Show Co-Host Nira Arora
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Believe it or not – the Holidays are around the corner, or as I like to call them the Holi-DAZE! It can become a blur of what has to be done – and next thing you know, it’s Christmas Eve! It’s as though we’re in a daze. I’m one of those people that prefers to be prepared in advance to take off some stress that goes next level once you hit December. We are all in the same boat, it’s going to be different this year – what kind of different? We actually don’t know. To help you out (and give you a little nudge) here are a few of faves to help you get started.
Oh… and Happy Holi-DAZE!
LazyOne
I never realized how much I love doing the whole matchy matchy thing, I think its sooooo cute (especially for the holiday pics of the family!) If you need something for the kiddies or for the whole family and you want to match, LazyOne is the place for you! LazyOne provides sleepwear and accessories for the whole family! Yes, that includes onesies so you can ALL be matching… pretty sweet!
There’s another pretty amazing benefit – they are Canadian! We love supporting local, don’t we?! The person who ‘has everything’ probably doesn't own an adult onesie! How often will someone buy themselves a onesie? Never. But they will sure LOVE having one! This is a great gift idea for someone special. They're cute, affordable and unforgettable. Trust me, you need to get on this now – the matching holiday pajamas sell out fast!
SKOAH
Who doesn’t want a Holiday GLOW? Everything starts to sparkle a bit more during this time of year and really ramps up as we get closer to the holidays. But what if your skin could be your main attraction that over shadows your sequined dress? Healthy skin is so important to me. We know the basics: lots of water and lots of sleep. But, the basics are not always easy to achieve. Trust me – I KNOW! Like the majority, I need some help to take it next level. The Skoah Gold Serum is our new best friend. It’s the ultimate serum that contains all of Skoah’s peptides - ALL the important stuff that we want. The gold serum helps stimulate collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production to help firm and strengthen your skin. The Skoah Gold Serum also reduces redness, irritation, and helps with maintaining the cell renewal cycle to ensure healthy new cells.
My City Photos
Would you feel more comfortable staying at home this year for your holiday photos? I just did a My City Photos front steps holiday photo session with my family. This was the perfect package for us! We had so much fun and now my holiday pics are done… and I can make my holiday cards. Another thing to scratch off my ‘To Do’ list! My City Photos photographer Laura-Lee felt inspired at the beginning of the pandemic to launch 'The Front Steps Project', capturing families who were isolating together posed in front of their homes. All funds went to Canucks Kids. Now you can set this photoshoot up at the front steps of your home or the block you live on, staying 6 feet apart. It’s all about staying safe, staying calm, and being kind right now… but we can still have some fun with our families!
Burritt BROs. Carpet & Floors
This is the time of year where I want to change things up a bit in my home. It can be as simple as moving things around in the house to create some positive Feng Shui! Sometimes all you need is to add a statement piece in your home to embrace the coziness. I fell in love with The Aegean Rug Collection by Burritt Bros. Carpet & Floors. You can see and feel the quality – it’s truly a cut above the average machine-made area rug. These unique area rugs are produced in Turkey and have been created by internationally renowned hand-knotted rug designer, Vikram Kapoor, who has been dazzling for decades with fabulous designs in wools and silks out of India. These pieces at Burritt Bros. are produced in the latest on-trend colors and patterns and manufactured in state-of-the-art weaving facilities in Europe. One of the best selling features? They are inexpensive works of art – the perfect, beautiful addition to any décor to give your home that refresh, without spending a fortune!
