The New Philosophy Amazing Grace Dry Shampoo

Gambar
I’ve been blogging for a long time now and in all these years, there are certain collaborations that I look back on and think “I cannot believe I got to work with them!” High on that list was getting to work with one of my favorite beauty brands of all time, Philosophy, on a campaign to launch their new dry shampoo in my signature scent, Amazing Grace. I’ve written about them here and here and for anyone that knows me, can attest to the fact that I’ve been using everything from the line for as long as I can remember. When they approached me to help launch their new dry shampoo, I almost fell out of my seat. The shoot ended up falling on my birthday, the best birthday gift I could ask for, and we headed out to an incredible house out in the Hamptons for a full day of shooting.

Robe: Barefoot Dreams | Earrings: Nordstrom | Lips: Turkish Delight by NARS | Bath Cart: One Kings Lane (on sale) | Candle: Voluspa … Happy Monday! We just returned home from a family vacation to Lake Powell and It’s one of my very favorite destinations to spend time with my family! If you’ve never been to Lake Powell or seen a photo, it’s the most beautiful lake that’s completely surrounded by towering red rock cliffs in the heart of the Arizona/Utah deserts. We have so much fun spending a week out on the water playing in the sun, but seriously, my skin gets SO dry (especially my shoulders and legs). Recently, I’ve been using the Perlier products each time after I shower or take a bath and I can’t believe what it’s done for my skin! My skin feels hydrated again and so smooth every time I use it (even Drew noticed, which is a big deal ;). … First, I use the Honey Body Tightening Gel  after I shave my legs and soap up. I love this stuff because it gets all of my dead skin off, smells

NY Times flubs 'bathroom laws' concerns

In both a post by the editors and an op-ed piece by Frank Bruni, the New York Times dismisses the concerns about transgendered men putting demands on policies that require keeping the sexes separate in public. To start, the editorial quotes a sheriff from South Carolina who says it’s a non-issue. “In the 41 years I have been in law enforcement in South Carolina, I have never heard of a transgender person attacking or otherwise bothering someone in a restroom,” Sheriff Lott wrote in a letter to the committee studying the state’s bathroom bill. “This is a non-issue.” Wrong.  Perhaps the editors and the sheriff would like to view a twenty- minute video offering case after case  of the sort of sexual predators for whom the transgender laws will serve as a green light.  One big bruiser, dressed in a curly old lady wig, a pink sweater, and a flowered skirt, walked into a facility, and when a woman challenged him, he sucker-punched her and knocked five teeth out.  The video spells ou

How to Soften Rough Knees

Rough knees have an ashy, flaky, dry, scaly or darkened appearance caused by a buildup of dead skin cells . Rough knees can cause discomfort and embarrassment, especially during summer months when shorts and dresses are preferred. People living in dry or cold climates are at higher risk for developing rough knees , since the lack of humidity and cold robs the skin of moisture. Follow simple at-home treatments to transform dry, rough knees to soft, smooth skin.

The pitter-patter of tiny feet It would seem that Jon and I have finally reached that age – the one where everyone is either getting married or having babies and to be honest we hadn’t really noticed it had happened until just a few weeks ago. It seems adulthood just kind of crept up on us . Take the weekend just gone – I found myself at a baby shower while Jon was painting the town red at a friend’s stag do. These are our weekends now when we’re not engrossed in buying our first house. Out of our school friends we are now the only unmarried couple.

A Small Bath Takes a Moody and Chic Turn

Spotlight / By Craig Kellogg / April 26, 2017 Small Bath Takes a Moody and Chic Turn" class="post__title" tabindex="-1"> A Small Bath Takes a Moody and Chic Turn Project : Turn a master bath into a guest bathroom in Murray Hill, Manhattan Before : With a baby on the way, owners Jeanne and Philip needed to convert their 1,000-square-foot apartment from a 1-bedroom into a proper 2-bedroom, 2-bath. What had been the master bathroom would be transformed into a guest bath. Previous owners had repurposed an adjoining closet as a large walk-in shower, but the remodel would reduce the footprint of both the bathroom and shower. After : The Sweeten design and build teams  took care of architectural documents for the co-op board and expedited city permits . The family’s goal was to turn the guest bath into an ADA-compliant space that was needed in the apartment. During demolition, however, they realized an existing step-up was necessary, for the sake of the underlyin

Half Bath | A Design Dream Come True

After a few days of chaos, stress, illness & fun, it feels great to take a moment to decompress & share something I’ve been excited about completing – our half bathroom. In the midst of chaos, I find sanity in organization, peace in pretty. Even if the rest of me feels out of sorts, at least this little half bath doesn ’t. I often start projects – multiple at one time, never truly finishing one. Do you do that? I decided that this Spring, I would take some time to complete each space, giving each the finishing touches I always intended to, but neglected to do in favor of a new project {#celebratehome}. Our tiny little half bath is now everything I dreamed it would be! Here are a couple before photos for reference: The space was tight, dark & dated. The countertop over the toilet made me claustrophobic & the white carpeting, well, you know. We started remodeling the half bath immediately after moving into our home. We opened it up by removing the existing vanity &am

Installing Adhesive-Type Tub and Shower Surround Panels

An easy and inexpensive option when renovating the walls of a bathtub or shower is to use one of the three-piece or five- piece adhesive panel kits available for purchase. The adhesive walls are usually thin waterproof panels that gain their support from the surrounding wallboard, and installation is similar whether used in a bathtub or standup shower. If you are looking for a thicker surround, try a product designed for direct-to-stud installation. The thin adhesive surrounds are the easiest to adjust for bathrooms with windows, or where the bathtub and/or shower enclosures are oddly sized. Before buying a surround, do some checking to make sure you buy the right-sized product for the tub or shower that you have. NOTE: Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure that the warranty is not voided by improper installation. Prepare the walls. Since this type of surround is going to be glued, the walls need to be clean to allow the adhesive to make good contact . The walls also

Remodelaholic | Bathroom Renovation, Adding Character

– My Hubby and I decided to tackle our main bath redo that we had been wanting to complete since we moved into our house 3 years ago . This was no easy task….so don’t be fooled by these pics =) { p.s. we had no clue at this point that I was pregnant, and we are so happy that we were able to get this bathroom done before the baby arrives. He will like the bath tub, don’t ya think?! } This redo costs us under $1,000 for a completely gutted {well almost} and remodeled bathroom. Take a look at how we completed our project on a budget: Here is our bathroom after it had been gutted…. Sorry, for some reason I didn’t take any true BEFORE pictures {now, I’m mad}! Here my Hubby is removing the drywall to install cement board above the shower Cement board installed Starting to tile…. Shower tile complete ! We chose subway style tiles with a decorative border.
