Native Challenge

Hi, friends! My two week Native challenge has come to a close and it’s finally time for me to report my thoughts! I know you’re on the edge of your seats ;) I started out two weeks ago with the Cucumber & Mint and then once I tried the Coconut & Vanilla scent, I may never go back. It smells AMAZING!

My biggest concern when starting out this aluminum free deodorant challenge was that I was going to try it, not love it, and have to tell the brand and y’all that I wasn’t a fan. That sounds awkward. But it’s so important to me to always recommend products that I LOVE so I was willing to take that risk.

I was also nervous because I heard that there was a detox that could take place. When I switched from my former deodorant to Native, I didn’t notice any noticeable changes in the way I felt OR smelled. I actually felt that I smelled even better after a few days of using Native. 

Not only does the product WORK, it’s also been such a wise decision for my health. Since Native doesn’t include aluminum, parabens, phthalates, or talc, I can be much more confident about what I’m allowing to absorb into my skin. Making this switch has gotten me excited about trying more clean beauty products where in the past, I would have been quicker to shy away thinking they may not work. 

I’m sharing my coupon code LAURA20 with y’all so you can get 20% off your order AND join the challenge yourself! Shipping is always free and Native also offers free returns! Once you read reviews on their website, you won’t have to even just take my word for it. Over 11,000 other people agree that Native is healthier, and most important it’s also effective!

I’ve loved getting to hear how much y’all love this product and I’m so thankful to Native for giving me the opportunity to try their product and share my experience with you! Click here to order!

LOFT Cyber Monday Sale

Shwew! Buckle up, ladies! The Cyber Monday sales are here and they are G O O D.

I wanted to start the day by sharing one of my very favorite retailers! LOFT is offering 50% off site wide plus free shipping! This is the perfect time to rack up for the ladies in your life but also don’t forget to treat yo self in the process.

I’m styling the velvet skinny pants for today’s post because they are SO perfect for Holiday! They sit perfectly above the waist, they hold their shape, and they are nice and structured. I would recommend going with your normal size unless you’re in between in which case I would size down.

I looooove this little fair isle sweater, y’all. I can’t believe I’m already locked down on an outfit to wear for Christmas but here we are! This combo of the velvet slides, velvet pants, and this sweater is just Christmasy perfection! I sized down one in the sweater.

I also wanted to highlight these precious bow slides. Not only are they comfy but they’re also going to be so perfect for dressing up or down throughout the Holiday season. Go with your normal size!

Linking a bunch of ideas you could give as gifts, including these precious earrings. Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today and thank you to LOFT for sponsoring today’s post. It’s such an honor for me to work with one of my favorite stores that I’ve been shopping at for years!

All that SPARKLES

I’m honestly not trying to keep it a secret that I am a little sequin obsessed right now. If I was trying to hide it, I’d be doing a terrible job. Just take a quick peek at my google search history and you’ll believe me. Nordstrom is always my go to spot for finding dressier options for parties during the holidays but I also love that I’ve been able to find some more casual items that work, too!

This sequin sweater is only $45, true to size, and is SO beautiful! Love the idea of wearing it with a pretty midi skirt but it’s also just as cute with jeans and booties.

I feel like the best thing about ordering anything from Nordstrom is that their customer service is top KNOTCH. I’ve literally never had a single issue ordering anything from them they haven’t willingly resolved. They are the absolute best!

I’ve also been able to find some super fun little goodies for my girlies for Christmas from there and I’m sharing them below!

Thank y’all so much for coming by my blog today! I am especially grateful to Nordstrom for sponsoring today’s post!!

Cyber Monday ebay Finds

Tis the season to shop ALL the sales but I’m here to remind you that you can find amazing sale prices year round on ebay!

Whenever I’m in the market for a pricier item, I always check ebay first. It’s easy peasy to search their site for what you need and you can even specify in your search whether you want new or used. You can make a bid if you’re feeling lucky or click on “buy it now” for more instant gratification.

If you’re looking for something designer, be sure to shop in the authenticated section so you can get the best deals on without the risk of getting a dupe.

I’m rounding up a few of my favorite pairs of sneakers along with some other investment items that I’ve found on ebay recently!

Thank you to ebay for sponsoring today’s post :)
