In this age where social media perpetuates the need to keep up with the Joneses, I often have to remind myself to be inspired but not necessarily copy the lives of others…

From the first use I could tell a difference in quality in the Luv Scrub’s mesh body exfoliator in comparison to the cleansing net from Amazon…

While most social media influencers are working with the likes of Boohoo, Miss Guided and SheIn, I have dreams of collaborations with J. Crew, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor and H&M…

The shift dress with the matching turban and handbag in Look 2 can easily be recreated with one of those large Mumu dresses you often find at the thrift stores. I actually have one now that I wear as a nightgown.

Of course manicured nails are a must year round but I feel that Summer is a time where we can really be playful and step outside of our comfort zone.

I’m not new to wearing perfume as I do have two that have been in constant rotation for the past four years. It’s just recently I’ve decided to step out of my fragrance comfort zone and explore new scents.

With a pair of shoes like this would definitely keep the rest of my ensemble simple but add a bit of structure (think power shoulder) for complementing flair...
