Votre Vu: ON HOLIDAY Moisturizing Body Spray 
I love anything that saves me a little time in the mornings, yet provides me with a little pampering. This moisturizing body spray fits the bill! Made with essential oils including Jojoba, grape seed and almond, I spray it on immediately after showering, take a deep breath and float away to my happy place (I totally stole that from the packaging, but it was too good not to steal!). It left my skin silky smooth and lightly fragranced all day long. I absolutely loved it!
Twisted Silver: Lily Necklace
Cool, whimsical charm. That's what you feel when you wear the Lily necklace. The nature of it is a collection of vintage pieces ... that just work so well together. Anything vintage is special and transforms any outfit into something new. Who doesn't love that? Everyone seems to want to touch this necklace every time I wear it. Totally ups the unique factor of Twisted Silver.
Avene: Extremely Gentle Cleanser for Intolerant Skin, Redness Relief Soothing Cream SPF 25
This is a great gel cleanser for sensitive skin or for those who suffer from rosacea. You actually don’t need to rinse the cleanser off, thought I prefer to. My skin feels hydrated after cleansing, versus feeling stripped of essential oils. The soothing cream is light green in color to minimize the appearance of redness. It also helps to reduce the appearance of swelling. Both products are extremely soothing, as they are aptly named.
JONATHAN: Green Rootine Dry Shampoo Brush On Hair Powder in Black
I have tried foaming and spray shampoos, but never dry shampoo. The JONATHAN dry shampoo offers a unique way to cleanse the hair and scalp without the use of water (talk about going green). It's recommended for all shades of hair including dark, browns, red heads and even blonde or gray. The product comes in different tones based on the shade of your hair (black, in my case) but what it does not differentiate between is textures. My hair is soft, curly and black with little hues of brown in the sunlight. Therefore, I used the color black. I applied the dry shampoo by using the applicator brush which comes inside a tube. You tap the applicator with the cap to apply the powder. However, I found the instructions (and just how much to use at once) to be very confusing. It was not clear as to whether or not I should use a little or a lot depending on hair volume. The product is suppose to be applied exactly where you need it, which was a bit odd to me. Not sure about you ladies, but when my hair and scalp requires shampooing it is not in specific spots, but all over. The objective is to then blend the product into the hair using the brush, tissue or your fingertips. Well, I tried all three of the recommendations to blend the product into my hair and each time resulted in a dark stain in the section I chose to shampoo. The powder was difficult to blend. I also used the product on my front hairline to test it out to get a feel of how it would work. Bad idea...I could not blend it and after all that, ended up washing it the old fashion way. 
ZO Skin Health: O'clipse Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30
This is a breakthrough product, in my opinion. Containing 3.7% zinc oxide and 10.2% titanium dioxide, this primer not only leaves a smooth-as-glass effect, but also protects against the sun's harmful rays. The tinted color is perfect for me ... nothing else is needed. It's a 3-in-1 product that is absolutely fantastic!COPPOLA: Keratin Complex Infusion
This is the closest I have come to managing 'summer poof' with a hair product. I am seriously loving Keratin Complex Infusion. It works to open up the cuticle and infuse keratin proteins and emollients into the hair. I can definitely tell a difference with the texture of my hair when I don't use this product. I tend to get puffy and frizzy in the summer humidity. And while you don't have to use a lot of this product, the results are even better when I add just a tad more into my hair. I also noticed that when I use a highly moisturizing shampoo and conditioner (not COPPOLA, though) in conjunction with the Infusion product, the results are better. We are talking serious shine. My hair is smooth and looks + feels healthy. Just wish it would hold up longer ... stepping into humidity makes it difficult for this product (and others) to hold onto the smoothness. Hanes: Smooth Illusions Shaping Pantyhose with Energizing Leg
These pantyhose definitely held everything in place and provided a nice curvy silhouette. I found the pantyhose to be comfortable and gave me a sense of security in my form-fitting knit dresses. The waist band did not cut across my abdomen like most control top pantyhose. I did not find myself tugging and pulling throughout the day to keep them in place. The black tone of the pantyhose was jet and did not have that ashy look of off black. I loved the silky feel and hint of shimmer which really dressed up the look of the legs. The hose provided support from my waist to my feet. At the end of the day my legs and feet actually felt a bit energized and not tired. I found the fit to be true to size on the packaging and they did not fall short between the legs like some hose can. The best part of all was the durability. I have hand washed them in warm sudsy soap 3 times now and they still look at good as new. I believe that the hose are nicely priced due to the number of wears you will get out of them.MBT: Panda Anthracite sandal
I am a HUGE fan of MBTs. You can feel the difference the second you take a step. The first of its kind in conditioning footwear, MBT continues to offer new styles with the same incredible technology to give you a workout simply from walking (or standing). I love how I feel after walking in my MBTs. And this new sandal is perfect for summer (make sure the straps are tight for a good fit to avoid blisters at your heel). While it's tough to keep up a fast pace due to the heaviness of the shoe, the rounded sole keeps your posture upright and in alignment while working to tone the muscles in your legs and rear, no matter how slow or fast you are moving. Essentially, the shoe simulates walking and standing on uneven ground, which creates natural instability, forcing the body to respond by using its muscles — constantly. That is why it's such a phenomenal exercise shoe. Peony Apparel: Pinstripe Twist Wrap in gray, Jeweled Rib Tank in navy
January marked Peony Apparel's grand entrance into the world of affordable fashion. Thank goodness for that! I am so digging the twist wrap. It's so versatile, comfy and practical for a multitude of occasions. Best off, it's a year round garment that easily works with my wardrobe. A true staple. The jeweled tank is one of the best fitting tanks I've ever worn. It comes up high enough at the neckline so that you're covered, it hugs your body (though not too tightly) and has fantastic rhinestone detail to give it oomph! This particular color navy is gorgeous! One side note: you have to get used to the rhinestones around the armholes. Overall, great quality garments at great prices!Natura Bissé: Stabilizing Cleansing Mask, SPF 30 Daily Defense Oil-Free Fluid
I love this cleanser for many reasons. First, it cleans deep and purifies the skin. Second, it has a calming effect and works wonders for sensitive skin. And finally, you can leave it on longer and use it as a mask. It even minimizes the appearance of pores. Brilliant, I say! The SPF is also fantastic! Many sunscreens can dry out your skin but this NB one has water-binding properties for increased hydration that you can feel deep within your skin. It also contains titanium dioxide (physical blocker against UVA and UVB rays), antioxidants (Vitamin E and F) and components that improve and strengthen the skin’s natural self defense mechanism.
