Happy Hour

Alix- what are your thoughts on activated charcoal? Do you use it? Does it really help with bloating? I’m thinking about adding it to my routine.

I cringe when I see people drinking charcoal…eeeekk! Put it ALL over your body if you want, but please don’t put it INSIDE your body. It’s touted as a way to “detox” but charcoal cannot identify good vs. bad internally and will strip good nutrients from the body as well as so called “toxins”. We have a liver that does a fantastic job of detoxifying so let’s just let it do it’s job and if you need a little de-bloat help I love adding a few drops of dandelion bitters to water first thing in the morning.

I’m looking for some inexpensive, cute sunglasses recommendations. Thanks!

Le Specs and Quay are our go-to for cute sunglasses that don’t break the bank. Here are some favorites:

Can you link that gallon water bottle?

Here you go! Comes in a bunch of different color combos and makes drinking a gallon of water so much more fun 😉

Do I need to use a clarifying shampoo? Why do people use them/how often/what do they do? Help!

Clarifying shampoos are like a super deep clean for your hair. They cut through product buildup and oils to leave your hair super-clean. You should use if you use a lot of product in your hair (hair spray, gel, wax, dry shampoo, etc.), swim in a chlorine pool frequently, or have hard water. Depending on your hair situation it’s best to use 1-2 x month or more often if you have fine hair that gets greasy. This charcoal one gets great reviews! This and this shampoo are also highly rated depending on your hair type. I’ve also heard amazing things about this apple cider vinegar rinse as an alternative to clarifying shampoo.

I’m looking for an athletic short. A loose fitting short with liner tight shorts under. Ideally a stretchy yoga pant waist band. I want a good length too, like 4″ inseam. Any suggestions? I got the Lulu speed up short and don’t like them very much…too small and too short…just fit weird.

Here are a few options I found: one | two | three | four

I want a new pair of small stud everyday earrings that are under $50 (I lose earrings- can’t spend $$$ on them). Thanks!

So funny you asked this because I was just talking with a girlfriend the other day about how Tyra Banks always wears diamond studs from Target because she loses them and doesn’t want to wear her real ones. She said she gets complimented all the time on her ROCKS and she’s like well thanks they’re from TARJAY!!! Nordstrom has a little higher quality ones I love here and here!

I need some cute cover ups for the pool/beach (whatever opens) this summer. Can you link a few faves?

Yes, linking ones I already have and the ones on my wish list:

Can you link the AirPod cases you both have or want?! Thanks!

Heather has this case and Alix splurged a bit more and has this one!

Thanks for your questions this week! We hope you have a great long, Memorial Day weekend with your families <3
