Dew Puff: Cute & Cleanses!

The Dew Puff konjac plant sponge looks adorable, but it's also an exceptional face and body cleansing tool! They have three types: Original (white), Asian Clay (orange) and Bamboo Charcoal (grey). The Original is for all skin types. The Asian Clay is for drying/aging skin. The Bamboo Charcoal is for blemish prone skin. 

They're hard when they come out of their packaging, but then you just add water and it turns soft. You can add cleanser if you want or just sponge down your face, and the Dew Puff will "break down dirt, absorb impurities and promote circulation", according to the company.

When I got in the shower, I was a little confused at first. It feels like a porous block, but seriously, within seconds, it turns into this squishy sponge! And, boy, does it feel great on your skin. It's smooth, silky, soothing. I really enjoy using the Dew Puff on my face and body! It's hard to describe how it feels, but it's so gentle! I don't suffer from serious acne, so I can't really say if it shows vast improvements when it comes to blemishes, but it definitely exfoliates nicely and feels great on your skin. Compared to other loofahs I've used in the past, this is a clear winner.

The company based out of Boulder, Colorado says the Dew Puff sponges "are the modern version of one of the oldest, most traditional beauty tools in the world...used for hundreds of years in Asia." It's 100% natural konjac fiber, no preservatives, biodegradable, compostable! You can find them online for 8 to 10 dollars. 

I'm definitely going to continue using these little guys, I really like how it feels on my skin and they're inexpensive! 

PinkBlush is not just for moms, it's hot.

My co-anchor, Anne Cutler, started wearing these fabulous dresses on-air. I immediately asked her, where are these coming from. She told me that the company PinkBlush (shoppinkblush.com) had an incredible collection of clothes! I told her "Fantastic, I'll have to try that company out -- when I'm pregnant." Then she laughed and told me -- you don't have to wait! Much to my relief, PinkBlush doesn't just sell maternity clothes -- and man do their dresses rock.

The photo above is easily my favorite (Navy Blue Floral Off Shoulder Dress, $52  http://www.shoppinkblush.com/p-21631-navy-floral-off-shoulder-maternity-dress.aspx?DepartmentID=2). It is comfortable, beautiful and looks great on. A little sexy, but not over the top. 

This Blue Lace Dress ($75 http://www.shoppinkblush.com/p-6720-blue-lace-maternity-dress.aspx?DepartmentID=2) is perfect for work. It's classy, longer length, but still shows off that figure -- and I love the color and the lace! 

And if you want something comfy and professional, then look no further than the Red Chiffon Bell Sleeve Dress ($34 http://www.shoppinkblush.com/p-18758-red-chiffon-bell-sleeve-maternity-dress.aspx?DepartmentID=2). You can also dress this one up or down. Another great piece!

PinkBlush's clothes do not disappoint. They're fun, flirty -- yet great to wear to work. The material is fantastic, very comfortable -- awesome for a woman on-the-go! And it's not just for moms, it's for all! It's hot. 

size up

I am one of those inbetweeners. I am not really a Medium, not really a Large -- and if you fall in this category, you know how incredibly annoying this can be. Especially when you're ordering online -- and let's be real -- a ton of us do that now. I mainly order my stuff online! 

So over the years, I have had this internal conflict before I press the "order" button (especially since some stores make you pay to return, . I don't want it to be tight or too baggy. With dresses, I have found that sizing up never hurts. Especially nowadays, with this whole bohemian, baggy chic thing going on -- you can usually salvage a bigger dress with a belt. So, I say size up! In fact, I have found sizing up is almost always the way to go -- whether you're buying bikinis or blazers. Of course, we would love for everything to fit like a glove, but don't I'm basically saying, error on bigger!

Love this v-neck belted dress from @letote and it was on sale for $9 🤑Unreal cheap and adorable 👗

yes, the weather lady dress is the best

I am sure you saw all the news stories about this weather lady dress, that basically every on-air personality owns...LOL, well close.  And I am obviously included in that group. 

Well, if you'd like a nice dress for work, this is a great choice ( https://www.amazon.com/HOMEYEE-Womens-Stretch-Pencil-U837/dp/B00RYRB6UA) 

The material isn't the greatest, but it is by no means the worst. It's actually comfortable and looks very nice in person, but it's definitely by no means high quality. But for 25-30 bucks, I really cannot complain. 

Then I started researching and found a bunch of great dresses around this price range. Again, not the greatest quality, but still would be great for work. So pretty pumped that I bought the weather lady dress and now I have discovered  -- what seems like -- a hidden treasure trove of business casual dresses. 

Ladies, I definitely recommend this dress and encourage you to shop around and check out the others. I've already purchased a couple other designs from the same company or similar companies. So yes, the weather lady dress is the best.

beautiful bomber jackets

Le Tote Le Lis - Floral Embroidered Bomber Jacket $39 & Glamorous - Cut Out  Mock Neck Dress $54

I am all about the bomber jacket right now. These jackets can dress up a casual outfit -- throw it over a t-shirt and jeans and you have a really fashionable look. Or you can put it with a fancy dress (like the photo above) and it makes the outfit laid back and fun!

I also love the intricate embroidery I have seen on a lot of them. The floral embroidery on this Le Lis - Floral Embroidered Bomber (via Le Tote $39) was stunning. I got a ton of compliments when I was wearing it.

Definitely an item you got to add to your closet and you can find many inexpensive ones at Forever 21  -- or you can go high end! Bomber jackets are da bomb! 

I accept you parachute, over-sized shirt dress

LE TOTE - Au Amanda Uprichard Multi Stripe Dress $54 & Noir Luxe Mesh Gold Choker $13

So I absolutely hate dresses that are not form fitting and usually stay far away from stripes, but this Au Amanda Uprichard Multi Stripe Dress ($54 via Le Tote) totally changed my mind. 

I have not caught on to this over-sized shirt dress trend. Just haven't. I think that I look like I am wearing a muumuu. They do not photograph well at all and look OK in person. They're just not flattering, imo. 

BUT when I ordered my Le Tote the captivating colors in this dress caught my eye and I thought -- well why not, give it another shot. So happy I did. 

This piece was incredibly comfortable -- and apparently with proper hand placement -- you can take a great photo in one of these! Who would've thought.  

I am certainly not about to fill my closet with a bunch of dresses like this, but at least I have realized with the right pattern and photography tricks -- these parachutes can look pretty darn good. So, thanks to Le Tote for sending. I accept you flowy dress.   

Resplendent & Radiant in Rent the Runway

New Orleans is magical during #mardigras ✨🦄 Making you feel like a queen 👸🏻💃🏻 in a dream ⛅️🌈 @renttherunway #orpheuscapade #orpheusball

My first Rent the Runway experience could not have gone better. I am 6'2" with an athletic build and clothes just do not fit me right. Period.

I was a little nervous when I rented this gown. It said it ran long, but as any tall girl can tell you -- most retailer's "long" is just "wrong". Almost all formal wear I have ever owned required alterations, but I decided to put all my eggs in one basket and hope for the best -- with this Rent the Runway dress.

When the gown arrived, I could not get the smile off my face -- it was gorgeous! But then I started feeling anxious -- what about sizing, quality, material, etc? The size 8 fit like a glove. The gown did not look cheap and the material was comfortable enough (for a gown). I did need to use a little toupee tape to keep some of the flowers on the top from drooping, but that was a small price to pay for how this dress made me feel! I felt like a queen in a dream, the belle of the ball, resplendent and radiant in Rent the Runway. The best part, I got to feel and look like a princess all night, outfitted in an extravagant gown, without having to pay an extravagant price.

Will I rent out another dress for a big occasion? Heck yes. Would I recommend Rent the Runway for others -- definitely.
