What to Pack for Lake Tahoe in the Winter

January 20, 2020
What to Pack for Lake Tahoe in the Winter by popular Monterey life and style blog, Haute Beauty Guide: image of a hojax suitcase packed with Sorel boots, a beanie, leather gloves, sunglasses, grey shirt, grey scarf, and cream sweater.

We never get snow here in Monterey, CA so when I saw Lake Tahoe was getting a snow storm I booked a room! The Hyatt at Incline Village has cute cottages right on the lake so we chose there. The drive was SCARY! Visibility was very low and the snow was heavy. When we finally arrived around 7pm we grabbed a sandwich to split and crashed in front of the fire.

The view the next morning was incredible! The lake and snow-covered trees were magical. I am such a beach girl but those snow-covered trees ranked right up there with the waves. The cold not so much! So glad I packed my Everlane puffer. It was perfect in the snow.

The Silvercross Jet stroller in Limited ed. galaxy with the rain cover ( comes with and helped with the wind and snow) and the Jet Pod cold weather footmuff. Olivia was so cozy she fell asleep! It worked well on the snow when I locked the front wheels in place. I wish they had little ski attachments!

What to Pack for Lake Tahoe in the Winter

Just about everything I packed was from my Winter capsule collection post.

Drive Up: I wore the Frame Denim jeans, Everlane Tee, Alo Clarity long sleeve sweatshirt, and trainers.

Day 1: Leggings, sweater (old Cabi sweater), t-shirt (old Richer Poorer), boots, puffer, hat (old and came in a sub box; I don’t remember which one), boots by Sorel. (at night– nightshirt by Lusome c/o, Mersea wrap c/o, socks by Little Spoon)

Day 2: jeans, sweater, puffer, boots

Drive Home: leggings, T-shirt, sweater, trainers

For skincare, I packed my Dennis Gross steamer and AU Natural Skinfood Discovery set c/o, plus the Grace & Stella face mist, Benefits rollerball mascara c/o, and Pat McGrath foundation c/o.



The trip was a blast and we had so much fun playing in the snow. Lake Tahoe really puts on a show in the Winter.

Sunshine and picnics for us! It is almost spring a Sunshine and picnics for us! It is almost spring and our weather is so nice lately. We took this @loveevery box outside to play with our favorite @littlespoon blends. Olivia still eats them as a "smoothie". I freeze them a little to make it a slushie and she loves them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can't believe we are on the final Lovevery box! We started the subscription service a few weeks after Olivia was born and here we are on the 3-year-old box. It is crazy how fast the last three years went. This may just be Olivia's favorite box. The camper van and tent + the little people are too cute. Plus the counting pegs and box were a lot of fun. I didn't realize she could count to 10!

Pop over to stories to see how we use Littlespoon to boost Olivia's nutrition and Lovevery to boost her imagination. Plus a few discount codes.

Good morning!!! Did anyone else grow up eating or Good morning!!! 
Did anyone else grow up eating oranges and grapefruit every morning?  My obāsan (grandma) was convinced a warm bowl of breakfast fried rice and a side of citrus would make me do better at school. 😬 I'm still not sure how that worked out. But, even after I moved out and was in beauty school and college I would go by her house in the morning for breakfast and a chat.  The smell and taste of grapefruit always bring me back to those treasured memories. 

The new Grapefruit @thelordjones Body Lotion throws me right in the middle of all those memories!  The refreshing scent gives me such nostalgia and happy feelings each morning.  I use it every morning after I meditate (a habit I recently picked up) and before I start work.  With 100mg of CBD and 2 MG per pump, it is the best way to start the day.  I don't use it on my whole body but concentrate on my neck, shoulders, and scalp. 

If you have followed along with my skincare tips over the years you know I am very picky about CBD products.  There are so many out there and I get flooded with emails to try them all.  There is really only a handful I recommend.  The Lord Jones brand is consistent for me.  I use the bath salts every night, I carry the lotion around everywhere and the gummies are my bedtime treat.  I haven't tried their skincare yet but several pieces are on my list to try this year. 

The new Lord Jones Grapefruit Hight CBD Formula lotion is available @sephora and @thelordjones websites now!

Virtual learning is a challenge and not something Virtual learning is a challenge and not something I was prepared for a year ago.  Over the last several months I've researched and tried so many toddler online classes.  Several were duds and a few were really standouts.  This Twinkle Toes class from @hellosawyer was the cutest and really got Olivia engaged. 
Over on the blog today, I am sharing more about the classes we took with Sawyer and how I use their new FAVORITES List to keep track of classes I think Olivia will love in the future.  Pop over and check it out!

I love how happy my girl gets over a walk and finding a bit of history. This stunning door was built in 1834!!

The small adobe was built in 1834 by Thomas Oliver Larkin and has changed little from its construction.

In 1847, it was the quarters of Lieutenant William T. Sherman who was in charge of troops constructing a fort on the site of what today we call the Presidio of Monterey DLI.  Sherman went on to be a General in Union Army during the American Civil War.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The poor cottage is now host to a family of stubborn raccoons and linger open to the public. We popped into the Larkin House gardens to get a closer look. It is my absolute favorite building in Monterey. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve never done one of the walking tours here they are full of cool facts about California, Monterey and USA history.  Fun to do with kids since they are totally self led.

About Me

I started Haute Beauty Guide in 2008 as a way to stay in touch with my skincare clients between appointments. At first, I only covered skincare but HBG grew with me as my life evolved— from traveling around the world, heading back to college after taking a long break, buying our first home, to getting my first gray hair! Monterey is my home and I take the lifestyle here to heart.
