My "Safer At Home" Discoveries and Life Savers!

Here we are at Week V of “Safer At Home.” I’m not sure how that looks for you, but my nails are growing out, my brows are coming in, I’m in desperate need of a pedicure and I didn’t realize I had that much grey!!!

I found a few things that are helping me and Alex (Ms Chacha) do some DIY at home temporary “fixes.” We thought we’d share them with you, explain why we like them and then we attached a catalog if you are interested in purchasing for yourself!

For our peace of mind…

A gratitude journal makes me think of what is going well and helps me remember there is a lot to be grateful for. When we journal about those positive things and acknowledge them, our perspective and mindset change!

This one particular Oprah and Deepak meditation series has been particularly helpful and so relevant to what we are all going through. If you have never tried meditating (and I’m no pro!) your mind will wander and it’s an exercise in bringing you back to the mantra and living in the present! Highly recommend this one and I think it’s still up for free on the app!!

Some beauty tips, tricks and treatments to get us through…

1 & 2 A new tube of lipstick (great neutral for WFH) and a red nail polish is always a great pick me up!

3 & 4 The only facial masks I have tried with instant results. The eye mask offers “ An intense, fast-acting under eye treatment that quickly delivers a brighter, rested eye appearance.” and the full face mask is “A waterless dry sheet mask that will give skin an immediate moisture surge, delivering dramatic results in just 15 minutes.” These are definitely worth a try!

5 Alex and I discovered this Dyson Hair Dryer with all the attachments right before moving “Safer At Home.” It comes with a heavy price tag but cuts down on drying time and each tool does everything it tells you it will! It curls, waves, straightens and it also comes with a lifetime guarantee. If you don’t want to purchase it for yourself it could land on your wishlist for Mother’s Day!! (Wink, Wink!)

6 & 7 Two more Trish McEvoy products. This face towel takes off everything. I still use it with my facial cleanser - it is super soft and is gentle on the skin. The beauty Balm is “an all-in-one skin perfector that instantly primes, brightens, evens, hydrates, controls oil, rejuvenates and protects skin.” It acts as a light foundation so the coverage is perfect for working from home.

8 My favorite root concealer, although I am fast approaching needing the entire can. Hence, 9…there are plenty of hats out there but I have always been partial to the Burberry plaid and bucket style.

10 Finally, for the brows…The Brow Buddy kit. This tool is fool proof. It is a great guide for in between visits to your brow gal. I would keep this on hand for any brow emergency.

Finally…to wear!

1 My favorite athleisure pant from Nancy Rose performance. I love EVERYTHING from Nancy Rose and these full leg “sweatpants” are at the top of my list right now. They are comfy enough to call sweatpants but look like a great palazzo pant. I love to pair them with the Veja sneakers (8) and if I’m out walking the dogs or running to buy tp I’m comfy and chic.

2, 3 &4 are some of my favorite Athleta pieces. I’m doing a lot of walking and the weather is starting to heat up in FL. These items keep me cool. I’m not a big “shorts” fan and love skorts for that reason. Check them out!

5 I’m not carrying a purse anywhere and the less I have to touch the better. Keys, cell phone, cash and credit card…so this waist bag is perfect.

7 This visor is pretty chic for those walks…don’t you think?

8 I never got over the “Ugly Shoe” trend and I love the updated Birks this Spring Season. The exaggerated buckle definitely adds some flair.

I hope this post finds you and your family healthy and at peace. We have a ways ahead of us but I’m hopeful (especially because of that meditation!) that we will slowly get back to normal…even if it’s a new normal.
