certified love.
this day is historical in my life. why? years of questions, and today i have found a solid answer. hoorah! the resolution: skin organics. i have searched long and hard (my mom can attest to this) for a skin care line that i trust and did i mention that actually works? and by works, i don't mean executing the promised sales pitch for a month and then stopping suspiciously at the warranty end date. i mean sustainably producing noticeable results.
fact. did you know that the focus of most major commercial products are made up of 90% marketing and 10% product development? conclusion: yikes.
after weeks of reading through shocking articles addressing the issue of toxic chemicals in the majority of skin care lines, i decided that my use of them needed to come to a screeching hault. i couldn't bare another day moisturizing with cancer-causing components after lathering hazardous chemicals onto my skin.
wondering about your own products? the skin deep database will become your new best friend. http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/
so during one of my daily stops to whole foods (pardon my addiction), i was introduced to skin organics, and the rest was history. stay tuned for my personal experience blurbs with these antioxidant rich products, and check back for not-to-miss nuggets of knowledge after my visits with the charming and inspiring founder, ann webb.
for the impatient and curious types: check out the products at skinorganicsaw.com or in person at whole foods. for a pro-consultation facial, make a visit to the newly opened ann webb spa in lakewood, which is a dream come true for lovers of serenity. if you take this advice, i guarantee you will be enchanted, and your skin will blissfully thank you.
lo's cliffhanger: mineral fusion makeup is next up in line for full-on coverage.

ahead of the game.
when winter comes, warm seasons inevitably begin filling our dreams and fashion starts planning for the next wave of weather. spring forecast: plunging necklines assigned to long hemlines saturated in soft colors. these blending of trends were dominant on the runways and exquisitely expressed in the roland mouret show. in addition to lemonade stands and iced tea, sweet greens and rich sun-shining yellows will offer refreshment to the tropical spring days ahead.

rustic cables.
chunky knits are all-the-rage this season. comfy, cozy, slouchy, and slim take posture in the tangled woods as golden sun-shining hues give tousled volume a soft heavenly glow. over-saturate your wardrobe with classic sweaters, calfskin boots, and nature infused accents. it's all about the deep eyes and bronzed cheek bones, letting your locks catch the wind as you frolic in the wheat fields.
wear your heart on your sleeve.
eccentricity is something i admire because our it reflects our jumbled hearts. i like to chill where fringe and leopard print wedges coordinate superbly, where oldies channel modernity, and where safari mannerisms meet urban outfitters quirks. who said that adventure requires travel? use your closet inhabitants to embark on your own journey.
