Seasonal Soaps

September 2, 2020 by moonflower Leave a Comment

If 2020 has taught me anything, it’s to appreciate the small things. Hence my excitement at finding these new seasonal soaps at Whole Foods. For starters they smell amazing, and at less than $4.00 per bottle they are the perfect low cost indulgence!

I decided to be crazy and get both flavors, because life is tough and we all need to live a little! Both are perfect for Fall and since it is officially September I think it is perfectly appropriate to start enjoying all the fall treats (aka everything apple or pumpkin spiced!). Now I get to enjoy a little burst of Fall every time I wash my hands, and it does spark joy lol.

Colorful Comfies

August 21, 2020 by moonflower Leave a Comment

I have finally reached the point in life where nothing gives me greater joy then dressing up as a colorful tie dyed marshmallow.

If I am going to be spending more time at home, I might as well spend that time in comfort and why not experiment with looks that I would never dream of wearing outside my home. It’s not that I don’t like tie dye, I totally do, I just also recognize that it is not the most flattering/appropriate look for a somewhat well adjusted adult. Then lockdown happened and all rules were thrown out the window. I started seeing tie dye sweatsuits popping up on every corner and at every price range, and while I am not willing to throw 300+ dollars at this trend (the amount of sweatsuits in this price range is astounding), this $40.00 (Sweatshirt & Joggers) set from Target does just the trick!

The material is insanely soft inside, making this one of the most comfortable outfits I own. I love the pink and purple colors (there also is a mint green and blue set which I also love!). Is this the most flattering outfit out there? Absolutely not. Does it still spark joy? You betcha!

Majestic Martha

August 19, 2020 by moonflower Leave a Comment

In these trying times we could all use a guiding light, and for me that light will always be Martha Stewart, who just so happens to have a new show Martha Knows Best that premiered on HGTV earlier this month! Each episode Martha focuses on a new topic: IE gardening, pets, tree care. The episodes are full of helpful tips and classic Martha quips that fill me with delight. Two new episodes are released each Friday and I love to record them and save them when I need them most!

I have always found Martha Stewart to be both aspirational but also super comforting. She knows how to make things nice but also has a great sense of humour, two traits I hold with great regard. This show was filmed during lockdown, so it feels very of the moment. It is also the perfect way to spend a relaxing evening in these not quite normal times.

As Martha herself would say “It’s a good thing”

Mask it Up

August 14, 2020 by moonflower Leave a Comment

“Does this mask go with my outfit?” is not a question I ever expected to ask myself, but it is now 2020 and this is a question I now ask myself on the daily.

To be perfectly honest, most days, I can be found rocking a medical grade mask. They truly are the safest option and in my opinion safety is more important than style. That being said there are days where for one reason or another I need the convenience of a mask that can easily be slipped on and off and not have to mess with those pesky medical mask ties.

I recently found these masks at Anthropologie and I must say they are the best fabric masks I have found yet! They are super breathable and have a pouch inside where you can insert a mask filter (safe and stylish!). I also like that they have a metal nose piece that shapes to your face and prevents the dreaded glasses fog we have all come to know and despise. They also are super comfortable and don’t pull too tight or slip off your ears. Online it looks like you can only buy them in a three pack, but in store you can buy individually and pick out the designs you prefer!

Instead of viewing masks as a nuisance, I choose to look at them as an accessory that also protects you! So why not find some you really like and have some fun!

Clean Makeup Must Haves

August 12, 2020 by moonflower Leave a Comment

Ilia is one of my favorite new to me makeup brands. I started using the serum skin tint in early Spring, and now whenever its time to replace a product in my makeup routine, I have been replacing it with Ilia’s version of the item, and have yet to be disappointed with anything!!

The Super Serum Skin Tint is super moisturizing, leaves your skin dewy and also includes an SPF 40. This is a very lightweight formula and I absolute love it for everyday wear. Like the name describes, it adds a light tint that makes your face looks glowy and healthy. For slightly more coverage I have been reaching for the True Skin Serum Foundation, I personally have never been a fan of foundation because I always find it to be cakey and I think foundation typically makes people look older. This is not the case with this foundation! It has more coverage than the skin tint but still leaves your skin looking fresh and like you are having the best skin day ever!

The True Skin Serum Concealer is the newest product I have tried and I absolutely love it as well. Once again this product is super moisturizing, Ilia seems to have really mastered moisturizing makeup products and I am here for it! I love the coverage and it isn’t cakey at all!

Ilia uses all clean ingredients and the makeup products contain ingredients that are most typically found in skin care products. I love that this company has found a way to create makeup that also improves skin quality. Committing to clean beauty doesn’t mean you have sacrifice results. Ilia proves that perhaps clean makeup is the most effective of all!
