When I was a kid, every Christmas seemed to burstwith pent-up anticipation: presents, cookies (mmm),
stockings (couldnt wait!), stuffing, playing with my
cousins, days off school. One year, when our home was
packed with relatives whod driven in from Ohio and
Michigan, I remember lying on the living room couch,
unable to sleep, staring out the window at the snow
falling softly. How magical! I couldnt contain my
excitement it seemed morning would never come.
Fast-forward a few years (whos counting?!). Im
often so caught up in the grown-up rat race that I feel a
bit of dread mixed with that happy eagerness. Time to
bring back the merry. When we started working on thisissue, I got in on the fun and posed for the camera with
our easy DIY wreaths (thats me on page 47). I loved
putting on the dreamy red coat and kicking through
the snow in a pair of Sorels (my fave winter boots).
And we hope youll get a kick out of all of the sparkling
ideas in this issue. Our GHelves worked hard to
sprinkle a little joy on every page, including $45,000

SKINCAREResults: 6 Months
Add a retinol product
serum, day cream or night
treatment to your daily
skincare regimen. The
vitamin A derivative stimu-
lates cell turnover to help
plump creases, says GH
Beauty Lab Director Birnur
Aral, Ph.D. But dont use
more than one doing so
could cause irritation.
A.Youre not alone this is one of our most-asked questions. When you start to see the signs of
aging, its hard to know whats worth trying. The Good Housekeeping Beauty Lab is constantly
scouring the market for wrinkle-fighting serums, lotions and devices, then putting them through our
rigorous testing. We evaluate efficacy with special instruments like the Visia Complexion Analyzer,
a high-tech machine that measures skin changes. Minimizing stubborn smile lines (a.k.a. nasolabial
folds) requires commitment, but the earlier you start, the better the results you can expect. We pin-
pointed your best line-erasing bets, from longer-term skincare to speedy doctors-office solutions:
CALL THE DOCTOR
Results: Instant
For the fastest fix, visit a der-
matologist. He or she will likely
suggest an injectable filler like
Juvderm or Radiesse (made
of hyaluronic acid or calcium
hydroxylapatite, both of which
naturally occur in our bodies)
that can fill lines immediately
and have yearlong results, says
Mona Gohara, M.D., a derma-
tologist at Yale School of Medi-
cine. The cost:around $1,000,
depending on location and
WHAT THEY ARE: Single-use undereye
masks that claim to quickly improve the
look of wrinkles, bags and dark circles
DO THEY WORK?
Both the eye gel pads at right, Altchek MD and Skyn
Iceland, scored high in Beauty Lab tests for diminishing
undereye wrinkles (after testers wore them for 30 and 10
minutes, respectively). The Altchek MD pads also tightened
slack skin. Testers gave both products top marks for cooling
and soothing. They made me look less tired, one raved.
LAB LOWDOWN: Ingredients like hydrating hyaluronic
acid and calming cucumber extract can rapidly, though
temporarily, improve undereye skin appearance, Aral says.
INSTANT EYE REVIVERS

AT-HOME LASERS
Results: 4 Weeks
These devices use laser
light to boost collagen
production, smoothing
wrinkles. Previously only
offered in dermatologists
offices, they are now avail-
able for home use. In our

Breakthrough Award
winning Tria facial laser
decreased lines by 20%

I love the dark paint color trend, and Imabout to pull the trigger in my bedroom.Its spacious but not flooded with light,so Im a little nervous that it might endup looking like a cave. Any tips?
LINDSEY B.
A:Your bedroom is a great place to
experiment with a deeper hue, since you
likely spend the most time in it after dark.
If youre unsure about painting the entire
room, install a piece of chair rail molding
and use the intense color on one portion
of the wall. In the room I designed below
(right), I put the dark shade under the
molding and used a pale, creamy color
up top. Feeling more daring? You could
install the chair rail even higher and try
the dark color on the ceiling (left). Either
way, the trick to keeping it from feeling
like a cave is to balance the rich paint
tones with plenty of contrasting elements.
White or creamy bedding, light-colored
bedside lamps with white or cream lamp-
shades, neutral window coverings and
mirrors will all make your bedroom feel
bright and airy no matter what.
QASK SARAH MY DARKPAINT PICKS

Molding Measurements
If you like the color on top, install
chair rail about 12 inches from the
ceiling, as above. For color on the
bottom, measure about 36 inches
from the floor, as at right.
TIPUse a flat latex paint.It hides imperfections andcreates a flawless finish.

Y O U R H O M E helpful hints
A.First, get out the vacuum
and brush attachment and
suck up as much soot as
possible. Next, for a small area,
press some soft white bread
into the spot, then lift off. Still
see soot? Rub it off with the
bread. If its a larger area, fill
two buckets with cool water
and add a few drops of dish
soap to one. Dip a microfiber
cloth or a clean rag into the
soapy water, wring it out
(so its not dripping wet)
and do one little spot at a
time, starting at the bottom
and working up (so dirty
water wont run down, making
a bigger mess). Dip a clean
cloth in the fresh water, wipe
the spot and move on. Let the
area dry; repeat if necessary.

Since it was built by her
parents in 1979, Martha
Fell has spent Christmas
in this charming country
home in Collingwood,
Ontario. Constructed
using the original hand-
hewn timbers from a
100-year-old Mennonite
barn, the space was
renovated by Martha
and her husband,
Geoffrey, five years ago.
They were careful to
preserve rustic features,
like stunning exposed
beams, and sentimental
furniture pieces. The
result? A warm cabin
retreat where Martha,
Geoffrey and their
daughters Jacqueline,

can savor steamy cupsafter winter adventures.

PEGGY SAYS: Dont create the impression that loading thedishwasher is more important than being with your guests.It would be rude for you or your hubby to disappear for a longtime during or after dinner, leaving the others alone. But its OKto quickly clear the table and stack dishes by the sink during alull in conversation, as long as everyone has finished the meal.When its an informal get-together, family or close friends might
even offer to help out. Then you can party on in the kitchen!

EMPOWERING EMPLOYEES AND THE PLANET
When Emily Doubilet and Jessica Holsey, both 31, met at a party in 2008, they hit
it off in more ways than one. They teamed up as friends and also as cofounders
of Susty Party, a line of disposable, compostable paper plates, cups and more that
is made and packaged by the blind and visually impaired. As part-time party animals
themselves, Emily and Jessica knew how much waste could pile up after a bash, but
thought most green partyware was a snooze. Seeing a gap in the market, Emily,
a performance artist and a sustainability director at an eco-friendly company, and
Jessica, a Harvard grad working on Wall Street, designed their own line of prettyproducts, set out to find funding and hit pay dirt with Whole Foods.

us, destroys and rebuilds us.
In 2012, the grocery chain
provided Emily and Jessica
with shelf space and followed
up two years later with a
low-interest loan, givingthem the financial push and
the nationwide platform they
needed to create and distrib-
ute green partyware that
doesnt scrimp on style.
HELPING PEOPLE, TOO
Emily, who teaches blind and
visually impaired children as
a volunteer instructor at the
National Dance Institute, felt
that the natural next step
was to use their fledglingcompany to provide jobs to
those with disabilities. Just
because someone is visually
impaired doesnt mean they
should be overlooked, she
says. Their abilities may not
be mainstream, but they
shine. Susty Party worked
with the National Industries
for the Blind, a network of
nonprofits offering training
and employment for the
visually challenged.

In May 2014, Emily and
Jessica snagged a spot on
the reality show Shark Tank,
on which they pitched their
business to potential backers.
They didnt seal a deal,
but the exposure opened
doors to new investors. It
increased our credibility and
got us more customers, says
Jessica. With the boost in

R E A L L I F E exclusive memoir
Isabel Allende, thebest-selling masterof sweeping family
sagas, shares herown journey through
loss and finding
light at the end of along, dark tunnel
s
CREATURE COMFORT
In times of personal
challenge, Allende turned
to her beloved spirit
animal, Olivia.
HEARTBREAKhe went smoothly, with dignity, sur-
rounded by her family. She was 17,
a respectable age for a Tibetan terrier.
Olivia came to our home 15 years
ago under traumatic circumstances:
The Humane Society had rescued her
from extreme abuse, with broken bones
and a broken heart. For many months,
she lived in the depth of a closet, heal-ing slowly. When she finally felt safe
enough to crawl out, my husband and I
were waiting for her.
It took years for her to relax; we
were the only humans she trusted. She
became our shadow, always behind us.
We never closed a door or moved a
chair or got in the car without looking
down first to check on her.
The vet, a kind woman with a young
face and a halo of white hair, hugged
us when she arrived at our house and
explained that although this was hard
for us, it would be easy for our dog; to
help Olivia die was the most loving
thing we could do, because she had a
tumor in her heart and her kidneys
were failing.
Olivia was ready to go, the vet said
afterward. She knew how much you
loved her. She will be waiting for you in
the Beyond.My husband and I were sobbing, as
I am sobbing now writing these lines.
Olivias death added another heartache
to what has been a very rough year.
Eight months ago, my husband and I
separated after almost three decades of
marriage. Willie had been depressed for
quite a while. When his youngest son
died three years ago, he simply closed
his heart, and I could no longer reach
him. He had shut me out of his life.
One day in April, we decided that
it would be best to separate. It was

done in a week, in a most civilized
manner, like an English comedy. We
never raised our voices or slammed a
door; we parted like the best friends we
had always been.
The decision to put Olivia to sleep
was also mutual. We shared the pain as
we had shared so many other things.
Olivia had been a good pretext for
us to keep in touch with each other;
that helped me at the beginning, when
I felt lonely and scared.
I had never lived alone before. I mar-
ried for the first time when I was 16,
moving straight from my parental
home to my new husbands arms, and
remained with him for more than
25 years. After we divorced, I lived with
my children, Paula and Nicols, very
briefly, because three months later,
while I was on a book tour, I met Wil-
lie. I fell madly in love, like a teenager.
I moved to the U.S. and soon forced him
to marry me, not only because I needed
a visa to sponsor my children but also
because I planned to grow old with him
and for us to die together.
It sounds melodramatic, I know. I am
a Latina.
For 27 years, Willie and I shared good
times and great tragedy. Willie lost two
children to drugs, and I lost my daugh-
ter, Paula, to a rare disease.
There is nothing worse than the
death of a child; many couples do notsurvive that experience. We soldiered
through it twice, but the third time,
when Willies son died, it broke us.
I understood the deep wound to
Willie. When Paula died in my arms
in 1992, after a year in a coma, I fell
into a terrible void. I had taken care of
her at home, and every hour had been
dedicated to her, so when she left, I
was lost.
My mother, who came from Chile
to be with me, told me that nothing
could alleviate this kind of sorrow,
no Prozac or therapy, no vacationsor retreats, nothing. It was not a very

comforting message to hear.
But what she said next offered some
hope. This was a long, dark tunnel
that I would have to walk alone, she
said, one step at a time, tear after tear,
blindly but with the certainty that
there would be light at the end.
I had no choice but to keep walking,
day by day, until finally I saw the first
glimpse of light. This happened more
than 20 years ago.
Since then, I have had to go through
other tunnels. Believing there will be
light at the end the promise of a new
beginning has helped me endure
many challenges.
Every time I face darkness, I invoke
my mothers mantra: Just keep walking;
nothing lasts forever; the nature of life
is change.
This year, I have had to walk through
another one of those tunnels. For a while,
Olivia walked two steps behind me,
trying to keep up with me until her
tired old bones gave up.
That was the darkest stretch of
the voyage. It is no coincidence that
Olivias life ended when my marriage
ended. Grieving for Olivia gave me
license to mourn other losses.
But this difficult year is almost over.
A new one is coming, and I am hopeful.
Next year will bring me a fresh
start and maybe inspiration to write
another book. Olivia, among my otherfamiliar spirits, will be with me.
WALK TO THE LIGHTAllende and her
mom in 1950. Over the years, the author
has repeatedly turned to her mothers
wise words for inspiration in difficult times.
