·      Try versatile colors:With neutrals on trend, it’s easy to use the same shades for eyeshadow and bronzer. Use the bronzer across lids and on brow bones for an understated look.

·      Natural looks are in:Makeup trends are focused on keeping things more natural and simple this season – fluffy brows, natural contour, and fresh skin is front and center for spring.

·      Add embellishments:Want to dress up your look without splurging on more makeup? Look to rhinestones and glitter to add a bit of sparkle without the extra work.

·      Change the order of makeup application:To keep your spring look more natural, eliminate extra steps in your application (blush, highlighter) – this spring, only contour is being used under foundation to keep things looking soft but sculpted.

·      Statement lips:One of the easiest hacks to a great spring look is to keep everything natural and add a statement lipstick. Bright pink and coral (but with a moody twist) are super on trend this season.

Spring is the perfect time to freshen up your makeup and simplify a routine. Try out these tips and see which ones work best for you!

Packing for a spring getaway is exciting! Whether you love to pack everything or you try to travel with as little as possible, here’s how to pack for your spring getaway:

 

·      Pick out your luggage:Don’t pack a lot? A tote or weekend bag might be all you need for a spring trip away. Hard side luggage is a better option for the traveler who likes to pack all the things!

·      Use packing cubes:Separate and fold clothes before packing into cubes – this makes it much easier to pack and unpack rather than taking everything out of your luggage.

·      Consider the destination:Of course, the destination plays a huge role in what you pack. Take a look at the weather to get an idea of temperatures, then pack a few extra pieces for those random hot or cold spells.

·      Refill toiletries:Use clear containers to fill up on all your hair and skincare products to minimize bulk in your luggage.

·      Don’t forget the little things:Before it’s time to go, make sure you have plenty of sunscreen and OTC items like band aids, antacids – depending where you travel it might be harder to find some of the products you’ll need after a long day of walking or eating.

 

Preparation is key to getting a head start on enjoying any spring getaway!

How to Pack for Your Spring Getaway

In the past, you might have gotten socks as a gift and thought, “How boring!” Socks can feel like the not-so-exciting part of your outfit, and you likely just throw on a simple white pair every day. However, here are three ways to use socks as an accessory to add a bit of fun to your outfit!

 

1) Wear Over Leggings

One of the easiest outfits to spice up with your favorite socks is a simple look with leggings. There are several ways you can wear this outfit, but you want to start with your favorite pair of comfortable leggings. Throw on a sweater or tee and then top off the look with an oversized blazer, long cardigan, or coat. You will then wear your socks over your leggings and complete your outfit with sneakers. For this look, you can wear plain socks, something with a logo, or even a chic white pair with stripes around the top.

 

2) Business Suit

If you want to be the trendiest girl in town, you can wear a fun pair of socks with your favorite business suit. Maybe you work in a business casual office setting, have a meeting, or want to rock a unique look for a dinner with friends! No matter what color business suit you wear, you can wear a bright or patterned pair of socks and finish the look with your favorite white sneakers.

 

3) Skirt and Loafers

If you enjoy wearing skirts, whether that is a great leather or tweed mini skirt, you can create an ultra-trendy outfit with the right socks! Platform loafers are the perfect addition to an outfit with a skirt and by adding white socks with ruffles at the top, you add a unique touch to an otherwise somewhat simple outfit.

Gone are the days of socks being boring! Say hello to elevating your outfits and creating fun outfits that all of your friends will be jealous of!

We get it – cleaning feels like a chore. Because it is! An effective way to tackle spring cleaning is to do it in stages. Here are 10 tips for sprucing up your home, one room at a time:

·      Create a schedule:Don’t try to do everything over a weekend. Clean a room or space at a time and move on once the area is finished.

·      Declutter:A clean, simple space is refreshing for the brain. While going through each room, consider what you want to keep and what you don’t have an attachment to, then donate or trash what doesn’t make sense for your environment.

·      Consider natural ingredients:Choosing environmentally-friendly cleaners is safe for the entire family. Mix up your own solution of water, vinegar, and baking soda to use throughout the house.

·      Start at the top:Give ceilings attention first! Use vacuum or dusting attachments to remove dust off ceilings, corners and overhead fans, then work on windows before moving to floors.

·      Multi-purpose tools:Invest in a steam cleaner to clean walls, floors, and everything in between.

·      Clean out cabinets and pantry:Purge expired items or donate perishables that you don’t plan on using.

·      Replace worn items:Freshen up your space by swapping out worn items for new: shower curtains and liners, towels, area rugs – a simple swap instantly brightens the space!

·      Hire a professional:Air conditioning ducts and dryer filters need to be cleaned throughout the year. Do if yourself or hire a professional to replace dirty filters and lines. 

·      Brighten up décor:Want to revamp the space? Change out darker textiles for lighter, brighter ones – linens, bedding, and throw pillows are an easy place to start.

·      Stay on task:If allergies are a concern, frequent cleaning will help keep dust and dander to a minimum.

Spring cleaning is definitely an undertaking – but one that’s well worth it!

Spring Cleaning: 10 Ways to Spruce Up Your Space

Instead of splurging on expensive labels, create a routine that leaves skin feeling and looking your best (while keeping costs down!). Here are five tips for stretching any skincare budget:

·       Keep it simple.Instead of investing in a multi-step routine you see on social media, pare down to the essentials and find the best quality you can afford. Every routine should consist of a cleanser, active serum, and moisturizer for night (swap out SPF for daytime).

·       Save on cleanser.Out of your entire routine, a cleanser needs to be effective not trendy. Look at the label to make sure you’re getting a product that cleanses without stripping natural moisture. 

·       Splurge on serums.Spend the most of your skincare budget on serums – since the formulas are concentrated and designed to address specific skin concerns, this is where the most active ingredients are found.  

·       Dual-function products are key. Find products that work in different ways to stretch out the skincare routine without spending more. For example, a cleanser-mask combination cleanses and purifies pores, while moisturizer with sunscreen or ceramides nourishes and protects skin. 

·       Use tried and true products. Some of the most inexpensive skincare products have been around for decades and still work through a skincare routine. Need extra hydration in certain spots? Dab a bit of petroleum jelly on your skin. Want an effective makeup remover? Cold cream has been an essential for years. 

 

Here’s a tip: effective skincare doesn’t always have to cost a lot of money. Consider where you want to focus your efforts and splurge where it will make the most difference!

The great thing about a maxi skirt is that it can be casual or very dressed up. If you want to wear a maxi skirt to go shopping with a girlfriend or grab lunch with your mom then throw on your favorite sneakers and a graphic tee. For a dressier event, put on heels or nice booties! 

 

3) Finish the Look with a Jacket

Jackets can be the perfect finishing touch to any outfit and your maxi skirt outfit is no different. For the days where you want a laid-back look, throw on a denim jacket. If you are going for an evening of drinks with friends, then a leather jacket can give you an edgy, fun vibe. 

 

4) Mix Prints and Fabrics

Maxi skirts can give you the ability to really show off your personal style. You can find maxi skirts in a wide range of colors and fabrics so find something that feels like you! Maybe you want a bright color for spring or a soft neutral to wear to a nice event. You can then pair your colors with a pattern or a textured fabric for a unique look.
