Happy National Wear Red Day! This is an incredible movement to help raise awareness in the fight against heart disease and stroke. Go Red for Women is a campaign by The American Heart Association, and it is sponsored by Macy’s. The campaign calls attention to the fact that cardiovascular disease is so prevalent among women; yet many don’t know it. A woman dies every 80 seconds from heart-related illnesses, yet 80 percent of those deaths are preventable. The American Heart Association’s mission is to reduce deaths, and disabilities, from cardiovascular diseases with education and research that benefits everyone.
I hope you will join me in the fight against heart disease and stroke by wearing red today, and hopefully purchasing a red dress awareness pin from a Macy’s store. The pins are shaped like a red dress, and cost only $3. They are sold in pairs, so for $3, you have a pin for yourself, and one for your BFF! Love that!
This dress I am wearing is also part of the Wear Red campaign and can be found online or at a Macy’s store. It’s a classic and fabulous dress which can be worn every year on National Wear Red Day as well as on Valentine’s Day; or anytime you want to wear a va-va-voom dress! Loving it!

Thank you for coming here every week for my beauty reviews! I have been receiving a lot of products in the mail, but I don’t enjoy everything I receive. Starting this year, I decided that I would do a monthly round-up of new beauty products for you which I have tested out, and have fallen in love with. Hopefully this make it easy for you to find new beauty products to love! So, starting today, I will do a beauty must-have post with my favorite finds of the month, on the first of the month! I hope you enjoy!
In January, I tested out a ton of new beauty products. The ones I ended up falling in love with, are pictured above. There is a combination of hair care products, make-up, skin care products, and a relaxing candle; don’t we all need one?! Without further ado, here are my favorites of the month!
Elvive by L’Oreal Paris
As you know, I love to swim and get outside. The chlorine from swimming, and the sun, has wreaked havoc on my hair. So, I am always on the lookout for fabulous hair care products which solve my dry, damaged hair problem. This new hair care collection, Elvive by L’Oreal Paris, is the perfect solution. The leave-in conditioner is my favorite from the collection. It really helps revive my hair!
Elemis Biotec Skin Energizing Skincare System
This is a fabulous collection. I am in love with the Elemis Biotec Skin energizing Cleanser. It leaves my skin squeaky skin without stripping it of essential oils, or drying it out. This is my go-to cleanser. It is fabulous! The night cream and day cream are great too; plus they are travel size. Love that!
Colleen Rothschild Retinol Supreme eye Serum
This eye serum is a-ma-zing! It really reduces the lines around my eyes and keeps them looking refreshed. I love the fact that is it jam-packed with Retinal (vitamin A), Vitamin C, Saliporine 8, and Cityguard. These key ingredients provide antioxidant support, improve moisture and elasticity, contour, lift, and repair. Love that!
Givenchy Gloss Interdit Vinyl
This is the newest lip gloss product from Givenchy. Can I just say-LOVE! This is a fabulous lip gloss which offers bold colour and shine. The colour reacts to your pH balance and changes into a color which looks just right on your skin. Love it!!
Foreo Luna Play Sonic Face Cleanser
OK, cutest little face cleanser ever! I love this petite little cleanser which is great for packing in my purse or beach bag for cleansing on the go. It is also fabulous for travel. Love it!
Tan-Luxe self tanners
So the weather is warming up, and my skin is pasty white! Eeeek! Tan-Luxe makes the most fabulous self-tanner for both face and body. This is the only way to not look pasty while the temperatures reach the mid-70’s yet my skin has not seen sun in months. This is a self tanning must-have!
Colleen Rothschild Haight Ashbury candle
I love candles for relaxing, and while I wear a face mask. They are so relaxing. This candle by Colleen Rothschild offers the scent of the hippie lifestyle; which reminds me of when I lived two blocks from the Haight Ashbury in San Francisco-even thought I am not a hippie. It is a relaxing scent which is rich and spicy. Love it!
There you have it! My favorite beauty products from the past month. Have you tried any of them yet? What are your thoughts?
Did you love the cold shoulder trend last year? It’s baaaa-aaaack! The cold shoulder trend was all over the runways for spring 2018, and it has returned to store shelves, and the streets, for the warm weather season in 2018. Love that!
The cold shoulder top trend was so much fun last year. It added just the right amount of sass to otherwise ordinary sleeves; spicing up outfits with ease. For spring 2018, we are seeing cold shoulders, plus the return of statement sleeves, and tie sleeves.
I love tie sleeves for spring 2018. It is such a fun way to wear the cold shoulder trend this season. The ties add a re-fresh to the cold shoulder trend which gives last year’s look an update. The tie sleeves are also a flirty way to make a casual outfit more fun then an everyday jeans and tee ensemble.
In addition to tie sleeves, and cold shoulders, designers are giving us statement sleeves with volume, sleeves with multiple cut-outs, and sleeves with cuffs. To be blunt, ordinary sleeves are out this spring. Look for something special about the sleeves on your spring clothing
What is your take on the statement sleeve trend this season? Is this something you will wear again? What about tie sleeves? Do you like the look?
