LuLaRoe Haul & GIVEAWAY!!!

Hey Guys,
Today I am going to share my LuLaRoe haul as well as discuss the details on a GIVEAWAY! For those of you unfamiliar with LuLaRoe, it is a clothing line that is sold directly from consultant to consumer. You can host pop-up parties online or in person and earn rewards or shop their LuLaRoe Facebook groups when they post weekly sales. I recently went to a pop-up event at a restaurant that a local consultant named Kristen Dunmead held. She suggested I bring a bunch of friends to the pop-up and that she would consider it a party so that I could get the hostess rewards. LuLaRoe clothing comes in a variety of styles from leggings to tops, dresses, skirts, and cardigans. I love that all of the items are available to women of all shapes and sizes. They have both O/S (one size) leggings (size 2-12) and T/C  (tall and curvy) leggings (size 12-22). All of their tops and dresses also come in xxs to 3x. The fun part of LuLaRoe is that when the consultants place an order, they have no idea what prints they will get. Each print is only made into 5,000 items. Therefore, if you see something you like, don't wait to get it or you may not see it available again!

Check out my video below to see the items I picked up!

Holiday Gift Guide: REKS Optics*

Hey Guys,

Today I am going to feature another brand in my Holiday Gift Guide. The company is REKS Optics and they are a unique sunglasses company. REKS sunglasses are not only stylish and affordable but they are also UNBREAKABLE. You can bend or drop these glasses an not have to worry about them being damage. All of their sunglasses are shatter resistant, light weight, and offer 100% UV protection. Their glasses were designed for recreation and allow you to wear them without the worry about being too rough with them. Another cool thing about REKS sunglasses is that you are able to customize them to your liking. Their lenses come in 18 different configurations featuring different covering colors, mirrors, polarized, and photochromic styles. REKS sunglasses also come in  many different frame styles. Most people wear sunglasses no matter what the season whether it be for fashion or function. These sunglasses are a great gift for any man or woman during the holidays. Keep reading to hear about two styles that Colin and I picked out for ourselves!

OOTD: Street Chic

Hey Guys,

So I recently shared a post on a local boutique in Boston called Ash & Rose. I did a video shoot with them and wanted to share more details on the outfits from the video. You can check my post on the boutique and see my "As Seen On" video HERE. This part of the video was filmed in Boston Public Market which is a new indoor market place in Boston. Visitors can shop and eat fresh from local food entrepreneurs. They can also purchase other hand crafted goods as well. Everything sold in this market place is produced or originates from New England. Keep reading to learn more about my outfit in the pictures below! At the very bottom of this post I will link all the items that I am wearing. If they exact items are not available, I will post something similar.

Review: BoxyCharm Oct. & Nov. 2016

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the October and November BoxyCharm boxes. I decided that I am going to cancel Ipsy because it just doesn't excite me enough to keep getting it. I signed up for BoxyCharm because it seems like you get way more bang for your buck. For those of you unfamilair with BoxyCharm, its another monthly beauty subscription like Ipsy. The difference is that you receive 5 FULL SIZED products each month instead of samples. The subscription is $21.00 a monthly and like Ipsy, they have featured products each month that everyone gets, and then other items that are varied from customer to customers. Check out my video below to see what I got in my first two boxes. Keep reading to see my thoughts on each product!

Holiday Gift Guide: 88 Handbags*

Hey Guys,
This year I am going to do something a little different for my holiday gift guide. Instead of focusing on beauty I am going to focus on fashion. Also, Instead of listing a bunch of different products, I am going to feature some new brands/companies that may not be as known to my readers. Today I am going to talk about the brand 88 Handbags. I did a post about 88's Natalie Block Tote back in the summer which you can check out HERE. 88 Handbags is company that sells vegan handbags and offers them in a large assortment of different styles, colors, and shapes. They also offer extended straps on some of their bags for plus size women. 88 offers affordable and reasonable prices on their high quality handbags.  They also donate a % of each sale to a charity called Care International that assists in education women around the world. 88 Handbags would be a great holiday gift for any woman. Check out the video below where I talk about some of their bags and give some details on each!
