Nadine West | Clothing Subscription Unboxing

July 12, 2021 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Have you ever wondered how a clothing subscription box works? Nadine West offers an affordable-style subscription service.

I have shared my outfits from Nadine West for three years now on my blog (read the posts here). Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

What is Nadine West?

NadineWest.com is a company that sends you an outfit to try on and you keep only what you love. The outfit is a surprise, but you take a style quiz and the stylists get to know your style more each month. The outfits are affordable with pieces costing about $10-$30 each, which is very affordable compared to other similar services.

How Does Nadine West Work? 

On the Nadine West website, you take the style quiz so that the stylist can get to know what you are looking for in an outfit. You will receive a pink package in the mail with your personalized outfit. Try on the outfit and keep what you love and send back what you don’t.

My Thoughts On Nadine West 

The style quiz was super easy to do, which was great because I wanted something that didn’t take too much time but I was still able to make notes to make sure the stylist knew my preferences. I really loved the surprise aspect of this, and it was like opening up a girly gift from a really stylish friend. I cannot stand having to return things, it is such a bummer, but I LOVE the way this company does it because your outfit comes with return shipping.

Nadine West Coupon Code 

Use the referral code “Nadine” on NadineWest.com (not an affiliate code for me, just sharing the one they currently have on their website) to waive your shipping fee which means you’ll get your outfit in the mail without paying anything!

I like, but don’t love, these tops. I tend not to like tops that have a faux knot, I think they look cheap, but this one actually looks pretty legit. I may pass both of these on, though.

Nadine West Final Thoughts

Have a wonderful rest of your week! Thank you for reading! xx

THE PERFECT LOB HAIRCUT | March 2020

March 16, 2020 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

As I write this we are currently experiencing a health crisis (Covid-19) and I know that many of you are now working remotely. You can watch the intro to my course all about Boundary Setting for free here.

I celebrated another trip around the sun last week, and a couple of days before my birthday I chopped off A LOT of my hair. I had been toying with the idea on-and-off for years but decided a few months ago I really wanted to do it. I was nervous but I.AM.OBSESSED!

I took photos of haircuts and color that I liked, and I’m telling you to TAKE IN PHOTOS for your stylist! **IF YOU ARE LOCAL TO NORTHERN MICHIGAN SEND ME AN EMAIL AND I WILL GET YOU IN TOUCH WITH MY STYLIST!

What Did I Get?

A lob or a long bob that just hits my shoulders. I asked for layers that would be easy to curl like the example pictures I took in. I said I wanted to be able to put it in a ponytail and messy bun easily without pieces falling out.

Why I Love It

I have ALL THE VOLUME! I washed it Thursday night and let it air dry, styled it Friday, slept on it, woke up and ran a 10K, and then was able to rock curls again Saturday. It’s so fun to style and the curls don’t need to be perfect, the bottom pieces are mostly left straight, and I just have worked with the top. It is a dream!

Before and After

What do you think of the trend towards medium length and long bob haircuts? Have you tried this cut?

Nadine West Unboxing | Affordable Outfit Subscription Box

January 20, 2020 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Have you ever wondered how a clothing subscription box works? Nadine West offers an affordable style subscription service.

Before we dig in, a little housekeeping, I now offer social media coaching as well as social media management.

I have shared my outfits from Nadine West for two years now on my blog (read the posts here). Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

NadineWest.com is a company that sends you an outfit to try on and you keep only what you love.

Nadine West Unboxing

I know that the crisscross style on the top of shirts and dresses is popular, but it just isn’t for me. I think they often look great on others, but it isn’t a look I like on myself. I also don’t like cold shoulder tops anymore. So, because of that, three of the items I got in my box were immediately no-gos for me. I will say that I really love the colors of these tops and Nadine West has done a great job listening to me lately and giving me neutral colors that I love. I got a pair of thick dress pant style leggings that I love because I will be able to wear them when I want to wear leggings but still look a bit more dressy or put together. I got a pair of gold circle stud earrings that aren’t shown, but I love them because stud earrings are my everyday jewelry uniform.

Nadine West Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Most months I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box. I hope that I will continue to get neutral pieces that fit my style and delicate jewelry that works with my sense of style. I would love to see some simple, neutral-colored maxi dresses for spring, too. I would rather receive two or three nicer items than a lot of pieces that aren’t as nice of quality.

Have you tried any fashion boxes like this? Have you tried Nadine West? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Have a wonderful rest of your week! Thank you for reading! xx

Brightening Eye Cream | Tarte Maracuja C-brighter eye treatment

December 30, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

With the hustle and bustle of Christmas (I hope you had a wonderful Christmas if you celebrate!) I was staying up late, not sleeping well, and helping Little Loves and Big Love fight the sickness that was being passed around our house. So, cue the dark circles! I was out of my brightening eye cream, so I used some Ultamate Reward Points to grab a jar of the Tarte Maracuja C-brighter eye treatment and today I want to share my thoughts with you now that I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks.

Tarte Maracuja C Brighter Eye Treatment

Tarte’s Maracuja C Brighter Eye Treatment is a vegan eye cream that smooths, hydrates, instantly brightens and fights signs of aging.

Tarte’s C-brighter complex of antioxidant plant extracts claims to fight free radicals responsible for sagging, crow’s feet and puffiness. Light-reflecting particles help to offset the look of dark circles so you can look rested and radiant while the creamy formula is gentle around the eyes with decadent hydration and nourishing essential fatty acids.

Information from Tarte:

  • C-brighter technology: a powerful complex of antioxidant plant extracts (rice bran, mango, and coconut) to help fight signs of aging and free radicals
  • Maracuja: Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin C for firmer, brighter, smoother skin and maximum hydration
  • Oat Sugars: help remove dead surface cells to smooth and firm skin
  • Vitamin E: natural preservative that also acts as an emollient and antioxidant
  • Vitamin B5: deep moisturizing abilities to hydrate and soothe
  • Adenosine: helps prevent premature signs of aging and improve the appearance of crow’s feet
  • Hyaluronic Acid and Squalene: work in harmony to retain and deliver moisture for optimal hydration and a refreshed, plumped up appearance
  • Hypoallergenic
  • Ophthalmologist-tested
  • Dermatologist tested
  • Cruelty-free

My Thoughts

I have used a couple of other brightening eye creams that I have liked (this one and this one) but I love the consistency (less lotion like, and it feels like a tiny bit goes a long way) and immediate improvement with the radiant light-reflecting particles. I will definitely be repurchasing this product.

OGX Nourishing Coconut Oil Weightless Hydrating Oil Mist | Review

December 16, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

As I’ve been getting ready for various events this holiday season (but no office party, entrepreneur probz) I thought that one product I reach for nearly every time I style my hair, deserved its own blog post: OGX Nourishing Coconut Oil Weightless Hydrating Oil Mist.

OGX Nourishing Coconut Oil Weightless Hydrating Oil Mist

Described on a website of a blend of lightweight coconut oil to nourish strands along with hydrating bamboo extract for softer hair. An infusion of lightweight coconut oil to nourish strands along with hydrating bamboo extract that adds shine and touchable softness

Directions For Use

Apply OGX Weightless Hydrating Oil Mist generously to clean towel-dried hair and style as desired. It can also be applied to dry hair to tame fly-a-ways and add shine throughout your day.

My Thoughts

I use the OGX Weightless Hydrating Oil Mist is a very simple way, so without any fluff, here is it: I spray this on dry hair at the lower 1/3 of my hair, focusing on the ends. I love this product because it takes any split ends or dry ends and makes them look so much better after curling. It completely hides dry ends, and it is the must-do finishing touch for me. I do like the added shine, but I am careful to only use a bit so that my hair doesn’t appear oily.
