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!!!

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!

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!!

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!

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!!

With everything that is going on in my life these days, it’s easy to get caught up in your routine and forget to take some time for yourself! We can easily end up going through the motions, and whenever I start to feel like that, I like to shake things up by trying something new. My hair has been feeling lackluster recently, so I thought it was the perfect time to hit refresh on my hair routine by trying the Pantene Nutrient Blends Collection. It has become a great addition to my wellness routine!

I know that for a lot of people, the word “wellness” conjures images of expensive spas or out-of-reach exclusive retreats, but I have found that with the right products, I can recreate that same sense of relaxation in the luxury of my own home. Wellness means something different to everyone - for some, it could be a great workout, and for others, taking the time to make a super clean and healthy meal. It is all about what self-care means to YOU! Personally, because I spend so much of my time in meetings and running from place to place, my ultimate self-care routine is to lock the door and spend an hour in the peace and quiet of my own home! I have always been a huge fan of music and I love getting lost in a great album. I put on a great record, run a hot bath, and wash my hair with the Pantene Fortifying Damage Repair with Castor Oil Shampoo and Conditioner from the Pantene Nutrient Blends Collection, and then I just RELAX. This gives me the time to clear my head, so that I can focus on whatever I want - which is sometimes nothing!

My favorite thing about the Pantene Nutrient Blends Collection is how amazing the ingredients are! I often color my hair and apply heat tools, so the Fortifying Damage Repair Shampoo and Conditioner was the best fit for my hair. The Castor Oil Collection was made to protect and repair damaged, overworked hair like mine! The collection is free of sulfates, parabens, dye and mineral oil, so you can really feel good about what you are applying to your hair. This collection currently features two amazing products:

• Castor Oil Shampoo - to cleanse, strengthen and protect hair!
• Castor Oil Conditioner - to nourish and restore hair with a silky shine!

​​​​​​​Castor Oil is an amazing vitamin-E rich ingredient often pulled from the seeds of the Ricinus Communis plant grown in India! It’s a multitasking ingredient that is often used as a moisturizer while others use castor oil to protect skin from bacterial infections.

I’ve been using the Pantene Nutrient Blends Fortifying Damage Repair with Castor Oil Collection for two weeks now and look at how healthy and shiny my hair has been looking! I can see so much of a difference!! I not only have amazing looking hair, but I feel amazing from my self-care routine too!

I challenge you to do the same and share how you use the new Pantene Nutrient Blends Collection for your self-care and daily routine and how it has helped you!! I am completely obsessed! You can find the collection here!

I am so excited to partner with Conair and Shopstyle to talk about how obsessed I am with the NEW Conair UNBOUND Cordless Auto Curler!

I am always traveling and on-the-go, so the Conair UNBOUND Cordless Auto Curler is SUCH a game changer! This is the first high performance cordless, rechargeable auto curler for the perfect curls or waves, anytime and anywhere!

The Conair UNBOUND is so easy to use and has a ceramic easy-glide coated surface! This is the newest technology from Conair. It helps smooth down fly-aways and eliminate frizz to add shine!

Since it’s cordless it can literally be used ANYWHERE. I was running late to an event so ran into the car with my UNBOUND auto curler so I could do my hair in the car on the way there!!

The device has 3 heat settings and 4 timer settings for all hair types and lets you select the type of curl you want. I usually like to go for a more casual look so I select the MIX curl direction which automatically will alternate the curl direction- I mean, how amazing is that?!

Honestly, what I love most about the Conair UNBOUND is that I can get effortless, flowy curls anytime, anywhere!! I don’t have to spend hours in the bathroom or hair salon- I can just charge up my Conair’s UNBOUND and let it do all the work! Dream. Come. True. 

Basically, everyone needs this!!!!

I’ve always been obsessed with skincare, and one of my favorites for a while now has been SkinCeuticals! A couple weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be go in for a visit to Cassileth Plastic Surgery to make my Custom D.O.S.E and then attend a beautiful and informative luncheon with SkinCeuticals!

First, I got to Cassileth Plastic Surgery and met with the lovely, Dr. Chang! She explained to me that when it comes to improving skin, there is not one solution that fits all. Everyone has different skin and what works for me, might not work for you. The amazing thing about Custom D.O.S.E is that it’s completely personalized. Its made-to-measure efficacy is essential to addressing each and every individual skin type, skin tone, concerns, and signs of aging. Together we filled out questions to figure out my Custom D.O.S.E!

I mean, this is amazing!!! Can’t wait to see how this works! SkinCeuticals has combined technology and science to focus on these areas through an adaptable topical treatment plan that is all about you!

Waiting for my Custom D.O.S.E to be made!!! So exciting!!!!

Magic happening! SkinCeuticals Custom D.O.S.E is a professional service that combines high-potency ingredients with professionals to create a personalized corrective serum that is specifically for you! And it’s all developed, measured, and dispensed in 10 minutes! You guys all need to go #getdosed NOW! Find your closest location here!

It was so exciting to get my Custom D.O.S.E and you get your own paperwork explaining everything about it! My Custom D.O.S.E consists of Kojic Acid and Niacinamide to help improve the appearance of discoloration and strengthen the moisture barrier, Proxylane to help support skin’s matrix and improve skin firmness, Retinol 0.1% to improve uneven skin tone, promote cell turnover, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and it has an emulsion base so it comes with conditioning agents with a light, milky texture!

I was so excited about this because my main concerns are anti-aging (duh) and discoloration!!!

Personalized just for me!

It’s really not a secret why SkinCeuticals is so popular with dermatologists, doctors and aestheticians everywhere – they stand out in a sea of skincare brands because their science is solid. Every single one of their products reflects the research, science and technology they have mastered.

After, my Custom D.O.S.E I headed down the street to Crustacean Beverly Hills for an informative and relaxing luncheon!

We all had the pleasure to listen and learn from Dr. Kelly Killeen sharing the benefits of Custom D.O.S.E and the newest addition, the Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight!

The Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight is a nighttime glycolic acid cream that delivers a true 10% glycolic acid value to promote cellular turnover for healthy and glowing skin!! “The Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight is formulated with a free acid value of 10% glycolic acid, allowing it to work at a true 10% concentration proven optimal in promoting effective exfoliation and natural cell turnover. Free acid value refers to the true strength of a glycolic acid product, and is affected by both the concentration of acid and the pH of the formula. This potent night cream is synergistically blended with 2% phytic acid to promote skin clarity and brightness, and a triple action-soothing complex to help support the skin barrier. Proven tolerable for nightly use, Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight improves the appearance of skin texture and tone to promote a bright complexion and glowing skin.”

My SkinCeuticals Custom D.O.S.E for the millionth time! I have been using it for the past weeks since I’ve gotten it and I am obsessed!

I am so grateful to have been apart of this super informative visit to Cassileth Plastic where I had the chance to make my Custom D.O.S.E followed by a beautiful luncheon with SkinCeuticals (link) where we were able to learn even more! I can’t wait to add my Custom D.O.S.E and the new Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight to my skincare routine now! Cheers to beautiful and forever flawless skin!
