Outdoor Summer Essentials with BabbleBoxx

July 23, 2019

This post (Outdoor Summer Essentials with BabbleBoxx) was created in partnership with Babbleboxx and the brands mentioned. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Outdoor Summer Essentials with BabbleBoxx - FlatlayHello, loves!
I don’t know about you, but I am LIVING for these warm summer vibes. In Chicago especially, we’ve waited months upon months (feeling like years), for the time without rain and snow. Now, a day spent inside feels like wasted time, so why not get out and enjoy it! I’ve partnered with Babbleboxx to share some great items you can use all throughout the summer season.

Outdoor Summer Essentials with BabbleBoxxSo speaking of warm temps, one of my favorite ways to cool down is with iced tea! So refreshing, and it gives you a little boost of energy. I prefer an unsweetened or lightly sweetened version to keep my cals in check. Thankfully, Straight Up Tea makes both versions. They don’t use any artificial ingredients and the taste is super fresh.

Colleen Rothschild Skincare Favorites - Outdoor Summer Essentials with BabbleBoxxI’ve used Colleen Rothschild Beauty products before in my skincare routine, and I know already that I’m a fan of the Cleansing Balm. I was also sent the Sheer Renewal Cream (for weightless hydration and restore luminosity), and the Matcha Tea Treatment Toner. The toner has antiseptic and oil-absorbing ingredients to fight against future breakouts, which I’m definitely prone to more so in summer. If you’re looking to try out some of their products, be sure to use code BOXX20 until the end of this month to save 20% on your purchase.

Shampoo and Conditioner from Hask Unwined Collection Great hair care products are totally must-haves with all that we put it through in summer.. The heat, the pool, the sun.. I’ve been using the White Wine Shampoo and Conditioner from Hask, and it’s been helping keep my hair shiny and so smooth. Frizz is another thing we battle in the midwest and the grape seed oil in these products work to seal the cuticle and make frizz less noticeable. Check them out next time you’re at Ulta 😉

Cat Eye Sunglasses from Zenni Optical You can’t really enjoy a day in the sun without a great pair of sunnies! I’m always searching for the perfect pair and have found tons of cute styles that are fingerprint resistant and anti-reflective at Zenni Sunglasses. Affordability (and cuteness, duh), is something I look for in all of my glasses, and they have both in spades. The style I’m wearing has a fun oversized cat eye shape and gold accents (my fave!)

Protecting Your Skin With Ozeaderma SunscreenNow, for something you shouldn’t even think of leaving the house without, sunscreen! My skin is really important to me, and sun protection is the first step to achieving great skin. This Anti-Aging Antioxidant mineral sunscreen from Ozeaderma is plant-based and formulated without dyes, parabens, sulfates, and synthetic perfumes. I apply it after moisturizer and go light on the face makeup so I can reapply it as needed. Take 10% off of web purchases with the code SUNNY at checkout.

I hope you enjoyed my Outdoor Summer Essentials with BabbleBoxx! I’d love to hear in the comments, what are your summer essentials?

Hello, loves! Another month has passed, and I am excited to share my June IG outfit roundup! June marked the official beginning of summer and ACTUAL sunshine and warm nights.

Reviewing Luxury Scent Box

June 5, 2019

This post is sponsored by Luxury Scent Box. All thoughts and opinions are authentically my own.

Reviewing Luxury Scent Box

Hello, loves!
I know I’m not the first one to say it, but I can’t believe it’s June already! Granted, it’s still raining here multiple times a week, but I am starting to get used to the spastic weather. Always dress in layers is the general rule of thumb!
Today, I’m reviewing Luxury Scent Box, a subscription service for fragrances. Y’all know I live for subscription boxes… Likely because I love the feeling of getting “presents” in the mail, but also because it allows me to always try new things. I’ve never used a service like this before, so I was excited to try it out.

A couple facts first about the brand. They’re based out of Orange County, CA. You can create a profile and have a certified fragrance specialist help you select your fragrances. Or you can do what I did and just pick the ones that sound interesting or pretty! They send out your fragrance in a reusable spray bottle and replace it monthly or quarterly, depending on your plan. Memberships are annual ($198) or month to month ($15-$18/month). With annual, you get a month free. No shipping charges and no tax. With each tube of fragrance, you’ll get about 30 days use. You can plan out which scents you get for the rest of the year if you like.

Reviewing Luxury Scent BoxNow for the good stuff! So navigating their site is pretty easy. You can scroll through all available fragrances, or narrow down by brand or specific notes that you like. I’m a big fan of Bergamot, Tuberose, and Oud, but honestly jump around a lot too. I immediately gravitated towards the Jean Paul Gaultier Classique, something I’d tried multiple times in my teen years, but not at all since. Such a classic, as the name would suggest! Next, I wanted a couple more unique scents that I’d never tried. I loved that they carry some of my favorite brands like Lollia and ToykoMilk. I decided on the Chloe Roses de Chloe and Flora Gorgeous Gardenia from Gucci. I guess I was on a designer scent kick!

Note you will only receive one fragrance at a time, but for testing purposes, I received all three of my selections. I must say that I’m really impressed at the quality of the spray bottles. Each scent was in a different colored tube (black satin, black and metallic gold, black and metallic pink). It took me longer than I’d care to admit that you twist the top away from the bottom to get the spray nozzle to appear on top. I’m blonde, what can I say?! At first I thought I wouldn’t be able to tell which fragrance is which, but the tubes easily pull out and are labeled.

Reviewing Luxury Scent Box Reviewing Luxury Scent BoxWhy I like this service… I LOVE testing out perfumes to find new favorites, and also to revisit past obsessions. I can not, however, afford to spend $130+ on a new bottle every time I feel like it. I adore that these are travel-friendly, the packaging is super sleek and low profile, and super easy to just grab and go, unlike some of my fragrances.. I’m looking at YOU, Versace Bright Crystal ?

So, is it worth it? Yes, I believe so. I think you’d end up spending less with this service and get to try new, exciting fragrances without having to spend money on large bottles or worrying about not using it all before the scent turns. My only critique is that I wish they had a 3 or 6 month shipping plan. That way you could have a couple different scents to rotate, and could cut down that carbon footprint just a bit from less shipping so frequently.

Tell me in the comments.. What is your favorite subscription service? Have you ever tried one for fragrance?
