A Few of My Favorite Things… 2018

One of my favorite things about weekends spent with my girlfriends is the sharing!  Curling up in pajamas and a glass of wine (or a Dr Pepper…don’t judge), sharing our hearts, beauty finds, and life hacks with each other.  Consider this post a Girlfriend Getaway, grab your movement clothes, snuggle up and get cozy.

For shopping and perusing purposes, click on the title of each item to be directed to the link of the item mentioned!  This is not a sponsored post, although all of the links to Amazon WILL give back to my favorite local animal charity, Fuzzy Friends.


The From Scratch Chick Products

My friend, Candice got me hooked on these products.  They are all natural and made with essential oils. Their Vapor Rub is a household must.  Made with just beeswax, olive oil, and coconut oil. They add peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils…and before you know it, you can breathe again.  The All Purpose Salve could possibly create World Peace.  Or at least soothe it.  It is silky, moisturizing, healing, and repairing. Made with beeswax, coconut oil, and olive oil, plus essential oils known for their anti-bacterial and healing properties.  The Lip Balm is in my car at all times, so if you want to try it…find me around town, just ask first.  Otherwise, it’ll just be awkward.  😉

Flower Diffuser

As a boy mom, I love anything that makes my house smell good.  These flower diffusers are my FAVORITE!  If you are local, they have a FULL stock at Hinge!  They last forever, and make any room smell delightful.  I have the Linen one (pictured above) in my closet, The Bella Freesia in the powder room, and now they have gorgeous HOLIDAY scents!  Hinge has a full stock of the Holiday scents, candles, car scents, and room sprays.  In case you are not local, you can find my favorite here.  (Our family favorite is the Spruce, there is also a Cinnamon scent.)  Run by Hinge and sniff them all, they make great gifts as well!

My Echo Look…finally a Clueless Closet

I have often wondered why it’s 2018 and I still don’t have a smart closet like the one on the movie Clueless. Remember Cher would get on a computer screen and create her outfit of the day?  Be still my organized heart. So, when I heard about Amazon’s new Echo Look, I was thrilled to try it!

The Amazon Echo Look is a hands-free, voice-controlled camera and Style Assistant, it takes full length photos or videos of your look.  The quality of photos is amazing, I’ve been super impressed!   It has built in LED lighting and a depth-sensing camera that blurs out the background to make your outfit pop.  (For the moments it is used as a “selfie stick” for group photos, you can simply edit the photo in the app to take the blur feature away!)

Simply download the app, set up the device and tell Alexia to take a photo or video, it then uploads directly to your phone!  Truthfully, my favorite feature on the app is the ability to categorize my favorite looks for future reference on the brain-fog days when I can’t figure out what to wear.  It also has a simple feature of creating collections within your wardrobe.

The Style Check feature is so cool!  For the days that my fashion-forward gals are slow in answering my desperate text of, “Help! Which one?!”.  All you do is upload two options in the app, and it will send you a second opinion from the Amazon Fashion Specialist almost instantly!  Currently you can only get the Echo Look with an invitation, request one here!  The Look also performs like a normal Echo Dot – playing music, etc.
