Happy First Day of Spring!

Happy First Day of Spring, everyone! If you live in New England, then you might have begun this new season by bundling up. Boston had an unusually mild winter this year, with warm temps and little amounts of snow. Now, just as we were in the home stretch, we are expecting a Nor'easter (a storm or wind blowing from the northeast). 

While my boyfriend traveled this past week, my GSD and I packed up and left the city to spend time with my family in my small hometown, North Reading. We had a blast spending quality time with one another. However, after arriving home late last night, the three of us wanted to relax today. I kept it casual and was (secretly) a little excited that I did not have to pack up my scarves just yet.

Navy Striped Flounce T-Shirt

I was recently introduced to an online store called SheIn, and let me tell you, I am so glad I was! This store offers cute and affordable clothing and accessories. I find myself loving so many pieces from their selection. I made my first purchase last week and I could not have been happier with the quality and with the customer service. After scrolling through numerous pages on SheIn, I fell in love with so many items! Once I narrowed down my shopping bag, and placed the order, I had a few questions. SheIn has a "My Ticket" link that connects you with their customer service staff. I could not have been more pleased with my experience. The person helping me got back to me the day after and was very kind and thoughtful. It was a very pleasant experience and sealed the deal for me shopping their again!

One of the wonderful pieces I purchased was this Navy Striped Flounce T-Shirt. This was perfect for my Sunday birthday brunch. I had just finished up an amazing workout, and wanted to feel comfortable and stylish for my family gathering. This shirt was perfect for the occasion! It was flowy enough that I did not feel bad indulging with one of my mother's homemade cinnamon rolls. 

I also love how this top is very girly. In my opinion it can be worn casually, as I did today, or dressed up with a nice pair of wedges or pumps. No matter how you style it, this versatile top will have you feeling adorable.

Arbonne Anti-Aging Skincare Line

Good evening! I hope you all had a great start to your week. For all of you busy girls out there, I want to tell you a little bit about a great skincare line called Arbonne. You may have heard of it. Arbonne was developed in Switzerland by a man named Petter Morck, together with a team of leading biochemists, biologists and herbalists.

Arbonne's formulas are based on botanical skin care principles. What I love most about this skincare line is that it is formulated without animal products or animal by-products. Personally, I find this very important. I am a huge animal-lover, and am conscious to buy products that are not tested on animals. Arbonne's products are also vegan and gluten-free, which is great! It is important to mention that there are no parabens, formaldehyde, PABA, mineral oil, petrolatum and phthalates toluene found in Arbonne products. This is something to be aware of, because all of these can be potentially harmful to your skin.

I am lucky enough to know an amazing woman who works for Arbonne! She was able to share with me some great products. The first one that I had the pleasure of trying is the anti-aging skincare line. This product is designed for women, of all skin types, ages 30-60+. According to Arbonne's research...

- after 24 hours 83% reported improvement in skin firmness.
- after 4 weeks 96% reported a reduction in the the appearance of fine lines.
- after 4 weeks 92% reported reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.

I did a trial run of this product for four days straight and felt great afterwards! At first, this anti-aging skincare line might seem a little intimidating. There are a lot of products, however, each are important in contributing to the care of your skin. I found myself looking forward to applying these creams in the morning and at night. My skin felt smooth, healthy, and refreshed. Now, I must mention that I have never used an anti-aging product before. However, I was happy with Arbonne and the results after my four day trial. I was especially comforted to know that what I was putting on my face was safe and environmentally friendly! I enjoyed using this product, and cannot wait to try other goodies from Arbonne!

As always, thank you for reading!
