I’ve always been someone who is overdressed for occasions and will always err on the side of dressing up a bit more rather than dressing down. Even my casual outfits tend to look more elevated because I love to add extra touches to style them in a more put together way. That could mean adding certain accessories, doing my hair/makeup or ensuring all the pieces are free of wrinkles or creases. I feel my best when my outfit is well thought out and put together and it can definitely create a good impression when meeting people for the first time.

One skin concern that was never an issue for me years ago but has slowly crept up is the appearance of dark spots. Ugh! They are among the most common skincare concerns and can develop for several reasons. Most dark spots are usually harmless, but they can affect overall skin tone and make the complexion appear uneven or dull. They can make you feel less confident because they can be hard to cover up or hide with traditional makeup. Today’s post is going to be a guide on how to remove dark spots on the face safely and effectively.

I just ran out of my favorite laundry pods. I like to switch up the scent each time so I plan to order the Italian Bergamot this time! (use code: MAREE15 to save)

While sandal trends come and go each summer, I like to invest in classic styles that I can wear year after year. Here are 10 of the best summer sandals to add to your closet! 

The clear sandal trend took off a few years ago and I am so grateful that it did! Clear sandals have been the answer to so many of my summer outfit shoe problems. I tend to wear more color in the spring and summer but am not going to invest in sandals of all different colors to go with each outfit. Neutrals are fine but even then I have to decide which shades will go with the most looks.

I can no longer treat the skin on my body with scented body creams and frilly body lotions. I need to add in targeted treatments with ingredients that will help to address emerging concerns like crepiness, dullness, discoloration and loss of elasticity. I’ve been testing out a handful of body care products to see which will offer the best results. I have finally landed on a selection of formulations + devices that are helping to improve the skin on my body rather than just offer surface level results. Here are my current favorite anti-aging body care products.
