Prepping for Fall

Fall has arrived and with it arrives 70s inspired fashion. Quite possibly one of my favorite decades ever - the trends just ooze bohemian vibes and are full jewel tones that work great for brown-eyed girls.

To prep for the fall season I'm heading straight to Neiman Marcus since they're are having one sale event after the other. Not only that - but when you use ShopatHome.com (a site that offers cash back on thousands of stores) the savings just add up. Right now you can get 8% cash back. If anything now would be the perfect time to get yourself one or two fall investment pieces that can take you from fall into winter.

A few of my favorite fall trends involve pieces that are easy to layer, deep brown lipsticks from Bobbi Brown, and of course booties. All of these trends will be styled on the blog soon!

Shop my fall picks:
Rag & Bone Cape / Bobbi Brown Lip Color / Marc by Marc Jacobs Bucket Bag / Halston Heritage Turtleneck Sweater / Rag & Bone Fedora / Michael Kors Flared Denim / Neiman Marcus Sleeveless Leather Vest / Cole Haan Over The Knee Boot / Valentino Rockstud Boot (a girl can dream right?) / Michael Kors Tassel Bootie / TOMS Suede Boots / Burberry Rain Boot

Moisturized Mondays with Jergens

#ApplyBeforeYouDry #CollectiveBias

Happy Monday! After a full seven days of being home, life (and my internal clock) is starting to feel normal. Jumping between time zones is so not fun and neither is dealing with all that recycled cabin air - talk about major dehydration issues. 

When I got back last Sunday, one of the first things I did was give my dog Miles lots and lots of hugs. The very next thing was hop into my shower. I absolutely loved the huge showers in the hotels I stayed at but there's nothing like taking a long shower at home and slathering on some much needed Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer. Light a candle up, exfoliate your skin a bit, and slather on the lotion - my version of an at-home spa.

Off the bat I apply moisturizer in the shower while my skin is still wet - it's one of the best ways your body will retain moisture (#lifehack). After my wet-skin application of lotion I always pat dry and allow my skin to dry. When moisturizer is applied to wet skin it's able to trap the water on your skin and use it to keep your body moisturized all day long which in turn keeps your skin looking healthy. Jergens Wet Skin works with my routine and even enhances this little known fact by locking in hydration at skin's peak moisture moment for luminous & soft skin (no rinse needed either).

Before I left for vacay, a few of the things I do and I'm sure I'm not alone here is: clean house (returning to a dirty/disheveled home is a quick fire to stress), shop for travel/home necessities (hello Target!), and shower (on long trips - it'll be the last one for a while).

I discovered the new line from Jergens at Target while shopping for travel and home necessities (like a travel toothbrush & cat food 😓). Seeing that it fit in with my "apply before you dry" routine I had to stock up on the Calming Green Tea Oil & Nourishing Monoi Oil lotions - they also carry a Refreshing Coconut Oil scent as well. If you're curious, All scents are super light and haven't interfered with my signature scent.

After my Target shopping was done and things were packed I took my last shower before my flight out and gave the Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer a test-drive. Remember apply to wet skin and pat dry. After a solid thirteen hours in-flight my skin felt soft upon arrival and saved me the time of reapplying lotion. Knowing the brand and how seriously it takes hydration I made sure to transfer some lotion in a TSA bottle while away from home - extremely glad I thought ahead as it saved my skin and time!

Run 10 Feed 10

After my long vacation I ready to get back into the grind by running. This weekend I'm joining Women's Health Magazine and FEED in their 4th annual Run 10 Feed 10 event right here in New York City. 

Once a year thousands of men and women will run down the West Side Highway in the fight against hunger. The concept is simple: run a 10k, feed 10 people.

What's amazing is that within the last four years this annual race has raised 3.75 million mealsand has hopes of breaking 5 million in 2015.  ABC’s Good Morning America Chief Meteorologist Ginger Zee will be the special guest host and will also be running the race.

The best part about this race, it's open to the public and those wanting to make an impact in their community. Each registration fee covers a limited-edition FEED bag and bracelet as a special finisher prize (sort of like a thank you). Day of the race, there will also be stretches and yoga to soothe those tired muscles and lots of fun activations and giveaways.

If you're in NYC please come out and join me: www.run10feed10.com
