If there’s anything our gente is known for during the holiday season, it’s getting dressed up to the nines to hang out in the sala with la familia. You celebrate by looking stunning and having loved ones close; if that celebration occurs in your sala, then even better.
Getting your “sala look” right—so even that tia that constantly complains about everything has nothing to say—isn’t easy. But, unlike your tia, DoorDash has your back. You can feel confident you’ve got all you need to achieve your desired look. Browse a wide range of businesses that can bring you everything from the perfect last-minute outfit to finishing little details. You don’t have to brave the holiday traffic to be the envy of your primas. That’s what DoorDash is for!
A sala look is all about overdressing, except you’re not because that’s the point. We like to be fancy, even if we’re not going anywhere (outside). If you don’t have time to plan or don’t want to be caught up in the holiday traffic, get items delivered by DoorDash. Target has options to make sure you nail the look, from a classic red dress that screams Christmas to a soft, elegant black maxi dress. You can even get your pet a Christmas sweater from Petco to match.
The cute outfit is the start, but you can’t just show up and call it a day. Looking over the top is the goal. Your look isn’t complete without a little bit (or a lot) of glam. Get eyeshadow to press-on nails straight from Sephora with DoorDash. You can get nail polish options at Walgreens if you’re an overthinker or procrastinator. Add a few holiday snacks into the cart to munch on while you decide which color will match perfectly.
The sala look can’t shine if the sala itself doesn’t look right! (We all know abuela will inspect every corner of the house.) How can you post multiple selfies on social media if the sala looks drab? You need decorations. You can get Christmas lights and candles at At Home and decorations at Party City–all from the comfort of your own home.
Even if you’re decked out to the nines, there’s something about being in tune with your family for Christmas. If ugly Christmas sweaters or matching pajamas do not fit your look, the perfect way to do it is with Christmas-themed headgear, which can be delivered right to your door with DoorDash. There are cute headbands, like this one with lights from Michaels. Michaels also has options with snowflakes, Christmas trees, and even peppermint swirls. Try The Nightmare Before Christmas Santa hat from Five Below if you’re more goth than cheer.
There’s nothing more fitting than having the perfect sweet treat to nibble on or drink to sip on after dinner. You can make your ron ponche or try Ponche Kuba, a rum-based cream liqueur inspired by traditional recipes from the Caribbean and Latin America. Order it right from Northern Liquors* with DoorDash. Pair it with fruit cake or rum cake, and you’re set.
The perfect sala look isn’t just about how you look (though you want to look amazing!); it’s about the right vibes. If you’re going to relax and enjoy the holidays without getting caught in long lines, get options delivered with DoorDash for the perfect look. But, no matter what you wear, remember it’s about feeling yourself in whatever look you go for. The rest is enjoying the time you spend with those you love.
