Shopbop Friends and Family Sale

Since I moved to Oklahoma four years ago (wow, time flies), I have almost exclusively shopped online. While we have some decent shopping here, it just seems like I am able to snag what I want online and it is just such a breeze. And so many lovely stores offer free shipping. But my favorite spot is by far Shopbop. Shopbop marries a wonderful collection of unique clothes and staples with exquisite customer service and free shipping. For my birthday and Christmas, I am able to create wish lists and my family knows to head there for ideas they know I’d love. Well, now that I have gushed about my #1 spot for online shopping, I wanted to share that their Friends and Family sale starts tomorrow and runs for three days (a sneak peek starts today for those of you who have shopped there before). Get 25% off with code INTHEFAM. As a favor, if you head over to shop, help support the blog and click this link: Shopbop. And if you need some inspiration, here are some of my recent favorites from Shopbop:

Wednesday On The Web

Dreamy Bedroom on Belle Belle Beauty

Fellow historical fiction fans: I am devouring my current read about Richard III.

We just got a Trader Joe’s here in Tulsa and I’ve already been three times. Missed TJs so much from my California days. I hadn’t visited one in forever, so I loved these insider tips on what to buy from the ultimate insiders: employees.

Best beauty buys at Whole Foods.

Inspiration via a couple who made the ultimate road trip over 26 years.

I am so glad I invested in these sweats – kind of expensive but so soft and made in the USA.

Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions Nightly Refining Micro-Peel Concentrate

Kiehl's Nightly Refining Micro-Peel Concentrate on Belle Belle Beauty

Kiehl’s on a roll lately and I am loving some of their new products. My latest favorite is their Dermatologist Solutions Nightly Refining Micro-Peel Concentrate which has worked wonders on some of my more textured spots on my cheeks. Working overnight, the micro-peel (which is very gentle) works to reveal radiant and refreshed skin.

I apply every night after washing my face and before moisturizing. There is no tingling, tightness or redness. The micro-peel feels more like a soothing serum than a peel so don’t let the name scare you off.

The formula is clinically-proven to accelerate cell turnover. This in turn eradicates roughness and evens tones. I have had some redness on my cheeks and this peel reversed probably 90% of the appearance in two weeks. Keep it up Kiehl’s!

Available at Kiehl’s, Nordstrom and Bergdorf Goodman.

Tata Harper Purifying Mask

_12246865

Tata Harper keeps surprising me with quality products that are natural while also being super effective. The sticker shock is a factor, but the potency, packaging and that fact they just plain work make the products worth the investment. True to her naturalist roots, Tata Harper emphasizes that aging comes from exposure to toxins. So cellular detoxification ranks right up there in importance.

The Purifying Mask was created to pull those toxins out of skin, empowering collagen and elastin. Fermentation and probiotics deeply clean skin. My skin has been freaking out lately with break outs – something I rarely experience. I blame weather, stress and the constant product rotation for the blog.

This mask has added some balance to my cheek breakouts thankfully. I apply a thick layer with a foundation brush and leave on for the full 20 minutes (recommended is 10-20). There is no artificial fragrance but the mask smells of natural spa goodness. You’ll see the eradication of dullness immediately and we all like a little bit of immediate gratification, right?

Gluten-free. Made in the USA. Available at Nordstrom.
