We celebrated 13 years of marriage today and like always, we were in Wisconsin and decided to go on a 24 hour getaway to a town I’ve been wanting to explore since we’ve been coming back to the Midwest.

What is your favorite Prequel product if I were to get only one? The vitamin C for sure! It’s an exact dupe of Skinceuticals CE Ferulic. What size of the Amaz0n look alike bag do I get (the on that looks like the French designer)? I get the large: The Row has a flip flop I love but they’re $800 for a sandal! Any dupes?

Are creatine gummies as effective as the powder? I think I would take the gummies more consistently than the powder, but want to make sure it’s as good.

A L I X Athletic Dress/Cover-upI had to order a second color in this dress because I loved it so much and it’s $25! It’s definitely going to be a summer staple. I love wearing an athletic dress during the summer because it’s a one piece one and done and you look somewhat put together. This is also a great bathing suit cover up.
