Beauty time with Seventh Generation Skin Serum!

It's beauty time! I received a free sample of the Seventh Generation Skin Serum from Lucky and Seventh Generation to review. After a week of testing, I've finally decided to share my thoughts on this #AllNaturalStyleSecrets product.

The Seventh Generation brand has been around for a while and you've probably seen their products at places like Walgreens and Target. The brand is known for their sustainable products for the home so I was happy to see a beauty product from this world caring brand.

The Seventh Generation Skin Serum is basically an oil facial moisturizer. Yes, I said OIL but don't be scared, this product is actually better than most moisturizers for your skin. Surprisingly, when you apply oils on a regular basis, most people notice less oily skin. The reason is that many products out there over-strip the moisture and that causes our skin to produce more oil to make up for all the natural oils removed. Also, the serum is created from pure, plant based ingredients and it's free of harsh preservatives.

I received the hydrating sample with jojoba oil and I like the very subtle scent. It comes in five other types of serums created for soothing, clearing, firming, revitalizing, and protecting. The variety is perfect to match one for your skin type. After a week of using this product I do notice that my skin is more moist versus oily.

The serum should be applied on damp skin so in my case, by the time I go to apply moisturizer on my face it's already dry so my process to apply the serum is:
  • Apply one pump of the serum in one hand palm. 
  • Wet my clean hand.
  • Mix the moist hand with the serum on my other hand.
  • Pat it all over my face and neck. 
  • Let dry and apply makeup as usual!

You can buy this serum at Walgreens for $14.99. To learn more about Seventh Generation's All-natural Skin Serums go to SeventhGeneration.com/boosts

loft skorts!

I'm an avid LOFT shopper. First of all I love their jeans because they fit well and last forever. Secondly, they have great quality trendy items at affordable prices. I'm always on the lookout for those 40% off that make my wallet and husband happy. Hah!

Today's post is all about their Skorts. I first noticed them at a +LOFT store near my job. I was attracted  by the pretty floral fabric (top left image) but immediately backed up when noticed that it was not a short or skirt. Yeah, you are probably wondering what in the world is a skort! Let me explain. The Skort is basically a short pant and skirt in one. They were designed to give women protection and freedom in activities such as sports and gardening.

Loft is bringing back the skorts to give us freedom in everyday style. They have been getting my attention because they are flirty, fun, and making everyone wonder if you are wearing a short or a skirt. 

Check out the LOFT skorts below. I'd love to hear from you. Do you currently own skorts? Would you wear these below? Let me know your thoughts in a comment.

let it rain!

Cloudy and beautiful day in New York City. The trees are finally getting some green colors - or pink like cherry blossoms - and there is a nice breeze as if rain is on it's way. I like wearing my rain boots because they make my life easier - it's very uncomfortable getting home with your jeans soaking wet so for today I decided to put together my top rain boots selection. My favorite one is the tretorn boot in red but let me tell you, I am eyeing number six because it seems very convenient to be able to fold and pack these to work or elsewhere.

Share your thoughts in the comments below. Do you own a rain boot? Which is your favorite from my selection?



1. Tretorn Skerry Rain Boot  | 2. Kamik Ellie Rain Boot  |  3. Hunter Original Tall Rain Boot  |  4. Crocs RainFloe Boot  |  5. Chooka Full Gore Riding Boot  |  6. Foldable Japanese Rubber Boots
