Great Find: Supracor Spacells Facial & Body Mitt

There is no better feeling than finding a new favorite beauty product. On a recent trip to Atlanta. I stopped into this adorable shop. Ona Boutique of Atlanta, they carry some of my favorite products. Nest Candles, Stephanie Johnson Makeup Bags & my new favorite Supracor Spacells. The helpful sales associate gave me the lowdown on it: a facial sponge that not only cleans and removes make-up, but exfoliates and massages your skin, stimulating blood and lymph flow to decrease puffiness, eliminate toxins and promote cellular regeneration. The unique honeycomb design is gentle & non abrasive.

As soon as I got back to my hotel I tried them both!

Bath Mitt: I used it with my favorite body wash and gently massaged in circular motions for 5 minutes. I then shaved my legs and I instantly noticed a difference in the smoothness of my shave. My skin just felt healthier.

Facial Mitt: I used my facial cleanser and gently used small circular motions around my face. Wiped off with a wash cloth and continued my regular nightly regimen.

Ps. The sales associate informed me that the pink and black mitts are a firmer texture. Where as the other colors are a bit softer.

After use, I just washed them out with water, squeezed the excess water out and let them air dry. That’s apparently all you have to do. The design naturally resists mildew. I’ve been using it for a week now and I have noticed a big difference. My sunless tan ☀️ looks even and vibrant.

The price makes it even better: Face Mitt $14 & Body Mitt $34.00 GREAT DEAL for something that will last a a year or two! I would think that the facial mitt will need to be replaced sooner than the body mitt. Will keep you all posted.

Would love to hear what you think?!

Have a healthy & happy day?

Mixed Patterns

Skirt (old) Similar HERE

Polka dot, plaid, pinstripes. textures — I have always been a fan of patterns! Mixing patterns is such a fun way to add personality to your outfit, whether it’s a cute striped top or a pretty lace skirt!

I like to keep the print on the top smaller than the print on the bottom!

I have included a few pieces I’ve added to my Crave Closet, and some I hope to add in the future! ?

Just added to the CC (Crave Closet).. I love a classic “Bardot” Neckline. This Asos Trosha Top would pair so perfectly with the bigger print of this ChicWish Fab in Dots A-line Skirt!

When something is as beautiful as this ChicWish Embellished “Lets Blossom” skirt, I would opt to keep the top simple.  I would pair it with this Assembly Chambray Top tied up in the front to accentuate our waist! That’s the great thing about these Midi Skirts they can be dressed up or down!

In the mood to be fancy? Add a sequin camisole to your ensemble! I adore this Chic Flamingos A-Line Skirt and to add a touch a sparkle this Asos Cropped Iridescence Top would add that glam!

Its wedding season & nothing is more romantic than flowers. I love this Ted Baker Trellis Cami paired with the Falling Flowers Green Midi Skirt!

Remember: Clothing should be fun.  You will always look good if you feel good!

In The Clutch

The perfect clutch is the key to any outfit. When I started dating Andrew, I never liked carrying a bag! He always had jeans with pockets. So I would give him my money, credit cards, phone and lipsticks!  Over the years I’ve started a collection of my favorite clutches and bags to wear out and about! I don’t necessarily match my bag to my outfit. I do love to be unexpected and sort of tie the clutch into my look.. ie pop of color! Below I’ve included some of my favorite bags and why! ❤️

The Clutch Gods have answered our Prayers! Her name is Edie Parker! One & Eight are my favorite! I am utterly obsessed with her beautiful works of art. You can even personalize them! I hope to add one of these beauties to my closet someday!

I love leopard. Always have, always will. Growing up my mom had a sitting room in our home & one wall was covered in leopard wallpaper. Clare V. (number two) is another favorite bag designer and this leopard clutch is such a staple.

How fun is this Asos hologram purse (number three)! Could jazz up any outfit for a girls night out!

Kate Spade does it again. I am always excited to see her next collection. Her whimsical designs never disappoint. I just love this Teapot Purse (number four) and that blue is so pretty!

Can’t go wrong with a classic black clutch. Great with jeans and booties. This Anthropologie Vegan Leather (number five) one is a great find! Also available in Cedar, a very pretty brown!

The most romantic clutch. I love flowers, anything flowers! If you check out my Etsy Shop you will find that I have lots of Floral Earrings to choose from. This Anthropologie Floral Clutch (number six) is perfection and would go with so much in my closet!

Nothing better than some good embroidery! Moyna Silk Handbag (number nine) I love that this one can be worn held or under your arm! Dainty and Pretty!

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!

My favorite beauty products!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am no beauty expert but I am product obsessed. Whether it’s a face mask or bronzer! I’ve listed my favorite products over the last 17 years! ?

Origins Charcoal Mask – this mask makes my skin feel so good after! It cleans all my pores and I feel refreshed!

La Mer Moisturizer – hands down the best moisturizer on the planet! I’ve tried them all. It’s the only one that moisturizers my skin and I literally don’t have to wear any face makeup when I do! Pricy but so worth…

Hoola Bronzer – My favorite bronzer doesn’t look orange at all and leaves a nice healthy glow!

Nars Radiant Creamy Moisturizer Concealer– every beauty expert I know recommends this concealer it covers without caking and always makes those pesky dark circles disappear!

All R & Co products – Thank you to the Hair Gods! These products are amazing. I almost compare them to a new(er) Bumble & Bumble (same price point)!  Try their Blow Dry Balm and Thickening Spray! Love it!

Mac Lip glass – I’ve been wearing this since high school.. My favorites are Oyster Girl (light pearlescent sheen) and Nymphette (sunny golden pink)!

Shi Uemura Eyelash Curler – a MUST! Makes me look awake when I’m up all night stringing beads!

Better than Sex Mascara – the new favorite! Used with the Eyelash Curler and BAM!

Thierry Mugler Angel – I’ve been wearing this since I was 17. Always get compliments and still haven’t found another perfume that compares!

What are your favorites? I would love to hear! Comment below 🙂

P.S. Happy Girls Are Always The Prettiest Girls!

Best Dressed

My entire life I’ve always been a “girly girl” and I embrace that. As of today, we have been in Florida for three months and we are loving every minute of it! As Florida’s newest girly girl, I’ve been on the prowl for the best skirts and dresses to wear in the Southern sun.

The weather has been beautiful lately! We have been warned of the stifling hot summer months that lie ahead. The good news is I’ve found the perfect dress!

 One of my favorite online shops is Asos, partly because it is such an easy site to navigate. I especially like the “runway” feature so its easy to see how the dress wears and moves on the model. I ordered my first bandeau midi dress and it is was the beginning of my collection! You can dress it up with heels and a sequin jacket or wear your NEW jelly flats!

This dress fits true to size and is extra comfy!  The sweetheart neckline is so flattering and makes the perfect frame to show off your iCrave Jewels!

 These are the styles currently available:

Solid Color – $26

Prints – $34

Asos is constantly updating the colors and I always grab whatever color is new! I love this dress that much.

Clockwise:

Black – a classic LBD that can be worn dressed up or down, just add an iCrave Jewels Necklace!

Gingham – recently ordered this and I cannot wait for it to arrive! How adorable?

White – the LWD perfect for spring and summer! Add a pop of color with fun shoes or jewelry.

Floral – just ordered this one as well and I can’t wait to wear it! Perfect for all the showers and spring parties coming up soon!

Bright Orange – I love a bright dress and this one definitely delivers! Perfect with a spray tan and some strappy gold sandals!

Happy Shopping!
