My #WalmartFashion Holiday Looks!
The holidays are one of my favorite times to dress up all year!! I'm so excited to be partnering with Walmart to share my favorite looks during this holiday season!!
Decked in Decadence: Sequins!!!
I love a sequin look for the holidays! It's classic, always chic, and never tired!
Sequins and print mixing are always a way to elevate a look!
I love a classic sequin party dress and spicing it up with some color blocking and always love a print!
Festive Plaid!
Love a plaid and especially any excuse to make it a holiday plaid! Dress it up with a statement earring!
The always chic "LBD" is always a crowd pleaser for the holidays and add a pop of color, statement earrings, and a chic heel to feel super festive!
Which look was your favorite?! Happy shopping!!

Save with Dryel!
I am so happy to be partnering with Dryel and share with you more reasons to be obsessed!
Dryel has been such a lifesaver for me- especially during this pandemic! I can't stress enough how much I love their products because most importantly it has saved me not only money, but so much time! It's a fraction of the cost of dry cleaners and is the original and best at-home dry cleaner!!
Dryel is so amazing because not only is it the best, but safest way to thoroughly clean your special care clothes at home. The Fabric Protection Bag protects clothes and concentrates the gentle cleaning vapor from the Dryer Activated cleaning cloth for optimal cleaning performance. No fading, shrinking, or stretching like is often caused by wet washing or dry cleaning. I love Dryel's Starter Kit- as it comes with everything you need!
Dryel is so convenient and works with your dryer in as little as 15 minutes and saves up to 90% of the cost of dry cleaning- 90%!!!! So, when you have suits, dresses, or even jeans and sweaters that need to be cleaned, skip the hassle, expense, and harsh chemicals of the dry cleaner and choose Dryel!!! We all know how costly the dry cleaners can be! And honestly, they often mess up my items!
I am so happy with how much time and money I have saved since discovering Dryel's products! It has made my life so much easier and in my opinion does an even better job the the dry cleaners!! So happy with the results and now I can happily wear anything without thinking, "but I'll have to take this to the dry cleaners..." Love it!!!

Rodan+Fields REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum + Active Hydration Serum Review
I’m so excited to partner with Rodan + Fields to review their REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum and the Active Hydration Serum! All thoughts and opinions are my own!
You guys know how obsessed with skincare I am, and how I’m always looking for the best products to use and recommend to you guys! People often ask me how I have such great skin and it is honestly through consistently using great products and protecting my skin from the sun. In this day and age everyone wants instant results, but in order to get results you really need to use your favorite products consistently to give them a chance to change your skin! So I am so excited to share with you the results after using the Rodan + Fields products for over a month now - it’s amazing what a huge difference you can see!
This is a photo I took the day before I added Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum and Active Hydration Serum into my skincare routine. My skin is naturally pretty stable, it is normal to dry with the occasional hormonal break out. I do have some sun spots that worry me and because my skin tends to be on the dry side I am always looking for hydrating products. My MAIN concerns are hydration and ANTI-AGING!!! In the past two years I’ve started noticing fine lines starting to develop and I’ve been searching for the best products to target those, while keeping my skin hydrated and plump. That’s why these products were an amazing addition to my skincare routine, as they target hydration and anti-aging!
I am loving how hydrated my skin feels with Rodan + Fields Active Hydration Serum! I started out just using it at night, but then loved how hydrated my skin felt so I added it to my morning routine as well! But, if your skin isn’t super dry then you might only need it at night. I just love having my skin look and feel super hydrated! You should apply this product all over the face, but be careful to avoid the upper eyelids! I use this after I wash, tone, and apply essence to my face!
This face serum truly delivers all-day hydration and as an added bonus it boosts the performance of the other products you layer on top. It raises skin’s hydration level by 200% after just one use and maintains continuous hydration for eight hours!!!!!! This serum has transformed my dry skin into younger-looking, younger-acting skin. It also balances moisture levels and preps skin to better receive products applied after. So it’s perfect for multi-step skin care fanatics like me!
Let’s get technical for a second - Rodan + Field’s Active Hydration Serum is made with their proprietary 3D3P Molecular Matrix, which contains 30% Glycerin and cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid to draw moisture from the atmosphere and lock it on the surface of the skin. The glycerin prevents moisture loss while the Hyaluronic Acid deeply hydrates. It balances your moisture levels and preps skin to receive anything else you layer on top of it! Quench that thirsty skin!!
Next up in my routine - I use Rodan + Field’s REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum! This product makes me so happy because not only does it deliver incredible results, it’s so fun to use! The serum comes in this beautiful blue capsule, so you are using the perfect amount each time. This product utilizes a concentrated and comprehensive revitalizing complex that harnesses the skin’s natural renewing powers to dramatically correct and prevent the visible signs of aging!! It’s formulated with Retinal-MD Technology, a form of Vitamin A, which is actually more potent than Retinol but gentle enough for daily use. It’s important to ONLY use this at night because it empowers the skin’s natural renewing process that happens while you sleep to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while revealing vibrant, younger looking skin! I’ve been using this for over a month and after about four weeks I’ve noticed that my skin looks more refined and feels firmer and smoother with less visible lines and wrinkles!!
These capsules aren’t just pretty, but by encapsulating Intensive Renewing Serum in biodegradable single-use capsules, the formula is protected from light and oxygen to maintain its potency! The Retinal-MD Technology reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, so skin looks healthier and younger. Peptides reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Calcium Buffering System encapsulates the Retinal molecule to minimize the potential for irritation, making it gentle enough for almost all skin types!!
This is a photo I took EXACTLY 4 weeks after I started using Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum and Active Hydration Serum!! Such. A. Huge. Difference!!!! Just a note- I am wearing a tinted lip balm!
BEFORE AND AFTER SIDE BY SIDE! The difference is incredible. My skin not only feels but looks so much brighter, hydrated, and dare I say younger!! It’s so so so so important to use serums in your daily routine. It may seem high maintenance at first when you add steps to your routine, but once you get used to it and see the difference it makes, the results will speak for themselves. The Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum + Active Hydration Serum are some of the most effective products I’ve tried in a while, and I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Freedom with Dryel!
I'm so excited to be partnering with Dryel so more of you can know about how amazing these products are!!
Dryel is the best way to safely and thoroughly clean your special care clothes at home. I got so sick of spending so much at the dry cleaners! Especially when many times they took too long or would end up messing up my clothes!! The Fabric Protection Bag protects clothes and concentrates the gentle cleaning vapor from the Dryer Activated cleaning cloth for optimal cleaning performance. No fading, shrinking, or stretching like is often caused by wet washing or dry cleaning.
Dryel works in the convenience of YOUR dryer in as little as 15 minutes and saves up to 90% of the cost of dry cleaning. 15 minutes!!!!! That saves so much time going back and forth from the dry cleaners and waiting on them to have your pieces even ready!!! Which takes days! So, when you have suits, dresses, or even jeans and sweaters that need to be cleaned, skip the hassle, expense, and harsh chemicals of the dry cleaner- Dryel is a no-brainer!!!
I'm also obsessed with Dryel's On-the-go Stain Pen Remover!! This product is perfect for you to put in your bag for those accidents that happen when you are out. This is a lifesaver for me!!
I'm always wearing special pieces that needed to be "dry clean only" but thanks to Dryel that has saved me not only money, but more importantly TIME!! And now I don't feel annoyed when I see a tag says "dry clean only" because of how easy Dryel has made it!!
Xoxo,

Dryel 101: My New Obsession!
I am so excited to partner with Dryel and tell you about one of my newest discoveries that I can't believe I just heard of!!
Dryel is the original at-home dry cleaner! And I am so obsessed because it has saved me SO much because now I spend a ton and have to go to the dry cleaners!!
Dryel is the best way to safely and thoroughly clean your special care clothes at home. The Fabric Protection Bag protects clothes and concentrates the gentle cleaning vapor from the Dryer Activated cleaning cloth for optimal cleaning performance. There is no fading, shrinking, or stretching like is often caused by wet washing or dry cleaning. Which I have had countless pieces ruined from expensive dry cleaners!
Dryel works in the convenience of your dryer in as little as 15 minutes and saves up to 90% of the cost of dry cleaning. So, when you have suits, dresses, or even jeans and sweaters that need to be cleaned, skip the hassle, expense, and harsh chemicals of the dry cleaner. I have not been able to stop using Dryel!!!
This is the Dryel Starter Kit and its perfect for first time users to try out the product! It's so easy to use!
First, you use the stain pen to remove any small stains on your pieces. Side note- what I love is you can also use the stain pen on the go and put it in your bag for any accidental stains when you are out and about!
Second, spray the Odor & Wrinkle Releaser on high odor areas on your pieces! This is a MIRACLE worker!!!
Third, put up to 5 garments and 1 Dryer-Activated Cleaning Cloth in the reusable Fabric Protection Bag. Then you tumble in the dryer on MEDIUM HEAT for 15-30 minutes. It's amazing because the Dryer-Activated Cleaning Cloth and Fabric Protection Bag work together to steam-clean clothes!
Lastly, when the garments are ready you need to hang them so the wrinkles will fall out. If there happen to be any wrinkles left then just spray with the Odor & Wrinkle Releaser and it will smooth ll the wrinkles away! And now you have all your clean and fresh pieces ready to wear!!
How easy was that? and you will love the results.
And now I am ready for my day and the new year with my pieces freshened up with Dryel!! Love it so much!
Xoxo,

My Beautiful Anjolee Studs!
Accessories are my favorite part of a look because it just completes it! I am obsessed with Anjolee's jewelry because all of their pieces can be customized according to preference of metal type, diamond size, diamond/gemstone quality, and length/size! I decided to go with this beautiful Flower Petal Diamond Stud Earring because its simple but still has a unique design. My style is pretty fashion forward so I loved styling this look with my new diamond stud!
How would you style your Anjolee piece?!

My New Obsession- Essential Oils By Pantene!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pantene. All opinions are 100% mine.
These past few months have been hard for everyone. As I do my best to stay positive during this time, I can’t help but think this is the universe telling us to SLOW DOWN, and to take a moment for ourselves. Between working, taking care of our families, cooking, cleaning, and a million other things, it’s so important to take time to care for yourself. One of my favorite ways to unwind and block out the world for a few minutes is to give myself a spa experience.
I’ve been a huge fan of Pantene ever since I was a teenager, and I love their new Essential Oils Shampoo and Conditioner (which, for all you bargain hunters out there, is available at Costco and made for Costco members)! I love how nourishing this collection is - it’s the perfect addition to my at-home spa experience!
I color my hair often and style it with heat tools almost daily, so my hair has endured a fair amount of damage! This time at home has given my hair a much-needed break from all of that styling, and Essential Oils by Pantene has really helped my hair regain its natural shine and luster. Essential Oils by Pantene is super nourishing with a nutrient-rich formula that has natural orange peel oil and shea butter, which not only improves shine but gives you that soft and silky hair! It’s a two-step program, with the shampoo strengthening hair against damage, while the conditioner restores hair’s natural moisture. This collection is also free of parabens, silicones, dyes, mineral oils and synthetic fragrances!
I mean, how healthy and amazing does my hair look?! I’ve only been using Essential Oils by Pantene for a week! I not only feel the difference but can see it too!!
Essential Oils by Pantene has made such a difference in my hair that I’m able to cut down on my other product use! With my hair already starting off so shiny and healthy, I’ve been able to skip the shine spray and leave-in conditioner that I usually rely on to keep my hair smooth. I love all of the amazing benefits from this collection!
Give it a try and tell me about your experience with Essential Oils by Pantene! I know you’ll love this addition to your self-care routine! I am completely obsessed! You can find the shampoo here and condtioner here!! And get $3 off Essential Oils by Pantene online at Costco through May 20, 2020!!
Xoxo,
