This week my baby son shared with me a little part of a stomach bug that he picked up at a holiday party. It was REAL special! But thankfully we are both on the mend and looking forward to kicking off winter break this weekend! I have my fingers crossed for snow, and maybe one or two of these little luxurious finds in my stocking this week (quality not quantity right?!). If you are looking for a little last minute feel-good gift (or two) for someone special in your life perhaps this list will give you some inspiration! I also included a few articles I enjoyed reading around the web this week. Merry Christmas!

New to Green Lemonade?
Welcome to Green Lemonade! I’m Noelle. I’m so glad you’re here!
At Green Lemonade I’m on a perpetual search for recipes that are quick to make and feature supercharged ingredients. What I eat dramatically affects how I look and how I feel⎯now, more than ever⎯with the arrival of my little man below! As a result I try to eat a lot of leafy greens and other veggies that are packed with nutrients. I also drink a lot of water to keep my skin hydrated. In non-recipe posts I like to scoop on trends that we New Yorkers are in love with like whole food cleanses (to gently restore and recharge) as well as natural beauty and lifestyle finds.
