I know you girls love wine and I’m on the hunt for a good summer rosé but nothing too sweet; I want something crisp! Suggestions?
Yes girl! I’ve heard FitVine’s rosé is really good, but my Whole Foods was out so I’ll keep searching for it! This one from Thrive Market sounds amazing and is considered a cleaner wine. Justin rosé and Cote des Roses Whispering Angel is hands down the best IMO! For a sparkling rosé Chandon is yummy 😉
Have either of you heard of the skincare line Augustine Bader and if so, do you think their rich cream is worth the price tag? Or is there a better alternative?
I have heard of Augustine Bader because a number of celebs tout it as a miracle face cream (cough cough Victoria Beckham) but it’s $265 for a 50 ml bottle #wtf. There’s a reason it’s called The RICH Cream.. cuz you gotta be RICH to buy it. I’ve read the reviews and of course it gets all the stars, but so do a LOT of other serums and face creams.. and companies have a way of making sure only the good reviews are visible to the consumer.. definitely take it with a grain of salt. I think Augustine Bader is similar to that of La Mer, another luxury brand with all the hype and mystery. Is there really a magical serum to reverse aging and fine lines? Verdict is still out. I’m sure it feels fabulous on the skin but unless it’s making me age in reverse like Benjamin Button, I’m a little hesitant to purchase something so expensive. However, if you have the funds to splurge on something like this, go for it and report back 😉
I thought this article was spot on about Augustine Bader and if it’s worth the hype.
I’m hosting a bunch of Summer BBQ’s but my husband isn’t great on the grill (sorry, honey!). Any ideas for the novice backyard griller?!
Lol! I love grilling skewers when we have people over. You can make all vegetable skewers (think bell pepper, corn, mushrooms, zucchini), all meat (think chicken, shrimp, or steak) or mix and match! This, this, this, and this kabob recipe all sound bomb!
You could also have him grill pulled pork and make pulled pork sandwiches with sides or wings are typically pretty easy and tasty!
Favorite sandals for summer?
All right here:
What are your favorite flavors of Perfect Bars? I see you posting about them all the time on Instastories.
Heather: my three favorites are Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter, Coconut Peanut Butter and Birthday Cake, which is unfortunately sold out. But it was such a popular flavor that we are hopeful it will become a full time flavor.. cuz I think it’s my all time fave.
Alix: I like the OG Peanut Butter and Almond Butter and the Dark Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter. RIP Birthday Cake you were my fave!!
I was just gifted a GloPro (at home micro-needling tool) but I am not sure how to use it and what serums I should be incorporating into my skincare routine with this new device! Help!
I took this from Nordy’s website so you can get a better understanding of this amazing tool!
What it is: A tool that works from the inside out by triggering skin’s natural healing process and inducing micro-regeneration deep within the skin.
What it does: As 540 surgical stainless steel microneedles pass over your skin, the rejuvenation process begins immediately as your cells respond to thousands of imperceptible micro channels by creating new collagen and restoring skin’s volume. When used immediately before your skin care products, it provides passageways for your skin care products to dive directly down to the deepest layers of the skin. It helps your topical skin care products be absorbed by your skin 200 times more effectively. After using GloPRO for as little as three times a week for a month, you’ll notice a visibly firmer, smoother and younger appearance.
How to use: Use 2–3 times per week or nightly if desired. After cleansing, use on targeted facial areas. Use light pressure and roll GloPRO horizontally over the targeted areas 2–3 times. Do not use on your eyelids, lips or nose. It should be used for at least one minute to ensure skin has been properly stimulated. Apply the serum of your choosing within the first 60 seconds after use while micro channels are active and ready to receive key anti-aging ingredients. Your skin will appear pink or flushed after using. It is not painful, though it feels like a bristly tingle. Batteries are installed for immediate use.
Serums I suggest: Vitamin C (AM), Glycolic (PM) or Hydration (AM or PM)
