Some people prioritize hair, others prioritize skincare. Me, though? I’m a nail girl, through and through. If an at-home nail product exists, chances are I’ve tried it (my bathroom storage is bursting with every brand of nail polish, nail extension, and press-on imaginable).

The couple selected Havana ’59 in Shockoe Bottom as their venue. They liked its all-inclusive approach and decor, eliminating the need to coordinate with multiple vendors. “We wanted fun and not serious,” Karlie says. “We wanted some traditional aspects of a wedding, but we really just wanted a celebration with the people who are important to us.”

I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite parts of the holiday season is searching for the perfect gifts for my friends and family. I look forward to finding fun items I know they’d never treat themselves to and practical presents that will help improve their everyday lives. What can I say? Gift-giving is my love language. But although I love shopping for others, I still struggle to check everyone off my list each year.
