The Champagne Theory

Happy Hour

Just went to my dermatologist for an IPL laser treatment. She recommended I use the acronym “GRASS” when purchasing products. G is for growth factor, R is for retinoid, A is for Antioxidant, S is for serum, the other S is sunscreen. I wasn’t sure if this was the order to layer the products at night or not. The dermatologist also recommended using products like skinceuticals, IS clinical, Isdin, … [Read more...]

My Mother’s Day Weekend Recap + How to Let Go of Mom Guilt

Happy Hour

I need summer concert outfit ideas (non Taylor Swift shows)! I may be the wrong person to ask because I don’t care who the concert is for, I go comfy every time (shorts, tee and sneakers) because you’re usually on your feet the whole time and walking a ton! But, if you want some cuter options here you go: I’m considering a Cartier Love bracelet and want to try a dupe first to make sure I … [Read more...]

Favorite Workout Sets

I love a matching workout set lately. It’s so easy to throw on and look put together for a workout or throw on a half zip over it for errands. I’m loving bright colors for spring and summer (think orange, pink, and blues) but I’ve also linked some pretty tan, chambray, and black sets as well. I’ve also linked sets at all different price points to meet any budget. Which is your … [Read more...]

Especially with the warm summer months and … [Read more...]

Maintaining Friendships Through Motherhood and Other Life Transitions

I think back on my college and high school days very fondly and what makes me smile is all the memories I have with my friends. We thought we were so busy and stressed back then…little did we know how simple life truly was. How easy it was to spend time with friends and how often we got to see them. As we get older it becomes more challenging to see friends and maintain friendships because … [Read more...]

Happy Hour

Which shoe would you recommend most for Orangetheory where you’re doing half cardio and half strength? So I mentioned on IG that I wear my Nike Metcons for strength training because they are flatter and better for stability. I wear Nike Pegasus for running/walking/hiking. For a workout like Orange Theory I wore my running shoes because the Metcons are not comfortable to run in and my knee … [Read more...]
