a little late, and not necessarily ground breaking ideas, but here are some picks for Mother’s Day this year.
CANDLES! You can never go wrong with a candle or 10. You know we love candles around here, and have posted and posted about our favorites over the years. So, instead of having to look up our old posts, here are our favorites here >>
Eminence products are located at Green Spas all around the world, including local Richmond Spa, Scents of Serenity.
As you guys probably saw on instagram, we are excited to be ambassadors for our local spa Scents of Serenity this year! Each month, we get to look forward to trying out their various services to tell you guys all about them. Additionally, we have been trying out lots of Eminence Organics Skincare products, which they use extensively at the spa.
Eminence Organics is a fully green company, whose products are made using the best, natural, Biodynamic ingredients. None of the bad stuff. All of the good stuff. They’ve got healing properties from vitamins that only nature can produce. When you use the Strawberry Rhubarb face mask, it actually has pieces of fruit in it. That’s how you know its truly organic. Plus, the smell! So fresh and so clean (I had to).
Another thing that we love about Eminence is that they plant a tree for every product sold and thanks to their collaborations with spas like Scents of Serenity they have planted 17 million trees so far. Their Forest of the Future program helps to support communities in developing nations, and we love it when a company has heart and is passionate about helping others.
(more…)Packing my hospital bag for the first time was overwhelming to say the least. Here are the products I packed and USED during my hospital stay when I had Phoenix. I hope it helps your hospital bag packing feel less overwhelming <3
I one hundred percent overpacked for the hospital because even though I had heard birth stories etc, I still didn’t know what to expect with having a baby. I did, however, know that I would want to feel as luxurious as possible while at the hospital aka I was going to do my darndest to turn that hospital room into the Four Seasons.
here is your big summer style round up: the dreamy dress edition
We are starting to work on some other exciting projects on The Crystal Press, and aren’t always able to bring you new and different outfits each week, because, that’s a lot. So, instead we are going to be bringing you our style blog posts per season, with a few big blog posts, where you can find all the optoins you need for each seasons best pieces!
SO, after getting tons of responses from you guys on this Free People dress that I wore in Key West, I decided to kick off the summer style edit with dreamy dresses. Perfect for vacay or the backyard, we all love a good flowy dress. Summer is a time where I rarely stray into fun and funky pieces so putting together this dress round up was super fun and I even got a few for myself. (Excited for this H&M number to come!)
(more…)national espadrille day may have come and gone but we’re ready for another summer in our favorite marc fisher shoes.
honestly, it feels like a few days ago that I woke up one quaratine morning to remember that it was National Espadrille Day, and that led to my first set of tripod photos. But, alas, it was a whole year ago. These photos ended up being some of my favorites, because we were a month into lock down and I finally felt inspired again! They might look like nothing special, and my deck was dirty and the look is simple but it was a bright day during those dark days.
I was also excited about my first pair of Marc Fisher Espadrilles but at the same time bummed that we had to spend our spring at home. Y’all know that Marc Fisher makes my favorite boots, but I had yet to snag one of their famous pairs of summer shoes. I had certainly been eyeing them on all my blogger friends, and well, honestly, everyone. I just had not pulled the trigger yet myself, and was thrilled that they sent me a pair for the occasion last year.
Fast forward to this year and I was thrilled to add a new pair to my collection (the heels! amazing!) and I am honestly thinking about adding Cath’s pair of Velia slides to my closet too. They are just tooooo perfect for every single summer occasion! And, so far, I have yet to meet a pair of Marc Fisher shoes that aren’t super comfortable. Wins all around.
