Megababe Geo Deo: If you have been looking for a good, natural deodorant, look no further. I have tried them all, from drugstore to higher end (cough cough Beautycounter $31 deodorant cough cough) and this one is hands down the best EVER. It was in the 90s this week and I was dry and fresh.  I am on my second stick and I’ve never had the nasty rash that comes with lots of other natural deodorants that have baking soda. I don’t know how they did it, but this stuff is the bomb.

Old Navy Sunday Sleep PJs: I’m usually not a matching PJ type of girl, but I have fallen in love with these from Old Navy. They come in a ton of cute patterns, are super soft and make the best work from home bottoms. I’ve only gotten the shorts version so far, but they do have a variety of cuts including joggers and long sleeve tops. Old Navy pro tip: wait for a sale to buy. They literally have sales multiple times a week, so you won’t have to wait long.

FURemover Compact Broom: If you have pets that shed, you need this broom. I’ve had tons of traditional brooms that just send the dog hair into the air and never clean it up. This one collects the hair into a giant pile super easily allowing you so much time to stare and wonder how a small dog could produce so much fur.

Birkenstock Big Buckle: I have been a Birkenstock fan for years and I think you either love them or hate them. They are super comfortable, took zero time to break in and are so cute with the big gold buckles. I know I will have these for years because even though the price is steep, Birkenstocks last forever!

Sol de Janiero Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 68 Beija Flor Perfume Mist: This was an unexpected purchase but I am obsessed with. I was at Kohl’s with Alex looking for a polo for his spring concert when we discovered Kohl’s now has Sephora inside! We browsed some of the aisles and I sprayed this since I had never seen it before, and I knew I had to have it. When your 12 year old says you need to buy it, you know it’s a good find. According to the package, it has notes of pink dragonfruit, lychee, Brazilian jasmine, ocean air and hibiscus, but to my untrained nose it smells amazing and is the perfect sweet, summer fragrance.

My first look is date night. I paired the Spanx faux leather leggings with a black tunic blouse, leopard flats and a cute hunter green moto jacket. Add some cute earrings and your favorite purse and you are ready to hit the town!

My second look is cozy at home. We’ve all been spending so much time at home these days, and the Spanx leggings are the perfect stay at home companion. Pair them with an oversized sweatshirt and some cozy socks for extra comfort.

My third look is a casual look. This is something I would wear to run errands  and to drop off Alex at sports. My checkerboard Vans are definitely my most worn shoes and my Barefoot Dreams cardigan is another must have. They make you look put together while staying super comfy. 

I hope you love your Spanx faux leather leggings as much as I do!

Aside from being super affordable to begin with, a few times a year, usually once a season, Target holds their BOGO sales making them just too good to pass up. This is when I usually pick up some cute, new shoes. Target is having their summer sale right now, so I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite Target sandals. And yes, these are 10 of my favs which means that I have more than 10 pairs of sandals from Target. I’m telling you, they’re that good!

If you buy any of my favs, share them on Instagram and tag me (@frolic_life_syl), so we can be twins!

Happy shopping!

I saw the dress on a mannequin and as soon as I touched it to feel the fabric, I was sold. It is the softest material that I have ever felt in a dress from Loft.

I paired the dress with the Peace of Mind necklace from 7 Charming Sisters because, to be honest, I am kind of obsessed with the necklace and have been wearing it with basically everything. Marble is super trendy right now, and I love how it makes even the simplest of outfits look put together and stylish.

If you’re not familiar with 7 Charming Sisters, they are an online jewelry boutique run by 7 ladies with totally different styles. You can take a style quiz and get matched to one of the sisters or just shop around by the different categories. I took the quiz and got matched to Melissa, the Super Mom and actually loved all of the pieces that were in her category. The Super Mom collection gives “outfits a pop of colour without calling for attention, so you can continue being the superwoman that you are – and look good while doing it!”

What is your go to weekend outfit?

7 Charming Sisters provided me with the necklace for review. All opinions, as always, are my own.

I met Hannah in Brooklyn to pick up my order from her and the first thing I did was tear it open to feel the material. When they say buttery soft, they are not lying. These are the softest leggings I’ve even touched and the softness doesn’t disappear after the first wash like so many other brands. Even though I went safe with my first order and got solid black leggings, I have since jumped on the pattern train. If you find a pattern you like, make sure to scoop it up because LuLaRoe typically only makes about 2,500 pieces a pattern among all sizes. There are tons of ladies all over the world looking for their LuLaRoe unicorns that they let slip through their fingers the first time around.

If the softness wasn’t enough to get me hooked, the sizing on LuLaRoe leggings is so simple, but perfect. Leggings only come in two sizes – One Size which fits sizes 2-10 and Tall & Curvy which fits sizes 12-22. I don’t know how they do it, but the leggings fit perfectly! And they are long enough that I don’t look like I’m wearing high waters which is a BIG DEAL when you are over 6 feet tall.

LuLaRoe is best known for their leggings, but they actually have a full line of women’s clothing from shirts, dresses, skirts and cardigans ranging from size 00-26. The shirt I am wearing in the pictures is the Perfect Tee and it lives up to it’s name. I loved it so much that I’ve already purchased it in two other colors/patterns. I am also a huge fan of my Carly dress, which is a high low swing dress that pairs perfectly with leggings. LuLaRoe also makes men’s and children’s clothing and Alex has been begging me to get him pants as soft as my leggings.

If you want to try LuLaRoe for yourself (you can thank me later) head over to Hannah’s Facebook Group and follow her on Instagram! She has sales up on a weekly basis and if you’re lucky, you will be able to catch her hubby live streaming and serenading shoppers during her sales.

Hannah provided me with my first LuLaRoe outfit for review. All other pieces were purchased by me. All opinions, as always, are my own.

After perusing the men’s watches, the watch I decided on was the Delmar Series Dark Sandalwood & Blue Carbon. I love everything about the way the watch arrived, from the wood box to the herringbone display pillow, every little detail was very well thought out. The dark wood of the watch just screamed fall to me and I couldn’t wait to give it to Tommy.

As soon as he opened the box, his eyes lit up. He said that he had never heard of wood watches, but that the loved the look and how light it felt on his wrist. The dark wood matches anything he wears, from dressing up for an event to a casual park day.

What surprised him the most was how many compliments he has received on the watch since he started wearing it. After wearing it out on a boy’s night with Alex, he came home and said that three different people stopped to compliment and ask about the watch over the span of two hours.

The best part about Tommy receiving the watch is that Jord is gracious enough to offer one of my readers $75 toward your own wood watch. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been checking out the women’s watches and deciding which one I would chose if I won, but sadly I’m not eligible!

To enter, head over to the Giveaway Entry Form. The giveaway will run until 11:59 PM on 11/20/16 and even if you don’t win the grand prize, everyone who enters will get a code for $20 off a watch. All codes will be good through 2/28/17, and perfect for holiday shopping! Good luck!

1. Torrid Jeggings. I have been searching for the perfect affordable tall jeans and I have found them! These are the best jeans if you are tall and curvy. They come in tall and extra tall sizes and break in to be the softest and most comfortable pair of jeans that you have in your closet. While they are called jeggings, they are more of a denim material than a legging one and have a real zipper and buttons. They come in tons of colors, washes and styles and are just PERFECT!
2. Beautycounter Nourishing Night Cream. I had heard all the hype surrounding the Beautycounter for Target collection and decided to give their night cream a try. I have been loyal to my First Aid Beauty cream for a long time, but I really liked this one for nighttime. It soaks into the skin quickly and doesn’t leave your face feeling greasy. I will definitely be repurchasing this one!
3. Mrs. Meyer’s Apple Cider Multi-Surface Spray. Someone I follow on Snapchat shared this and said that it smells amazing and makes the whole house smell like fall. I bought one bottle to try it out and went back the next week and bought two more, the dish soap and the hand soap. If you are a fan of fall scents, you need this is your life. I use it daily to clean the kitchen counters and it makes the whole house smell amazing. It is limited edition for fall, so if you find it get it because it might not be there for long!
4. Anastasia Contour Kit. I have the light to medium version of this palette. This kit comes with three bronzers and three highlighters and can be used to for simple every day looks and to really contour your face for special occasions. I use the banana powder on top of my under eye concealer and the the middle bronzer everyday. I really like that it gives you a good variety all in one little palette and it is super easy for travel.
5. Young Living Oils Christmas Spirit. I know, you are probably thinking what my husband did when he saw me diffusing this oil – Christmas already?! But seriously, this oil is a blend of orange, cinnamon and spruce oils and just smells like fall to me. It is one of those scents that make you happy and make the whole house feel cozy.
6. Fresh Wave Odor Removing Spray. I received this spray for review after attending Blogger Bash and it has been a go to at our house since the summer. We don’t use the fake smelling air fresheners that are full of weird chemicals that you don’t want to be inhaling in the first place. Fresh Wave is made from essential oils and just a few sprays kills any odors left behind from cooking or taking out some extra smelly trash. We also have the Odor Removing Packs that work great in Alex’s sports bags. No more sweaty smells!
7. Kady Lace Up Flats. These are the cutest, most comfortable flats ever. I get tons of compliments every time I wear them and they go with everything from leggings, so jeans to dress pants. I have the brown ones, but they come in a bunch of different colors too!
8. La Croix Sparkling Water. I drink seltzer like it’s going out of style and the grapefruit La Croix is the best flavor out there! I also like to call in pamplemousse (grapefruit in French) and feel fancy.

What are your recent obsessions?

1. Aviators. The ones pictured above are from Loft, but I have about 3 pairs of aviators that I regularly wear. I feel that look great on my face and I love the different colored mirrored look.
2. Pineapple Corer. If you like to eat fresh pineapple and do not own this contraption, run to the store now. I used to buy pineapples and they would go bad because I hated peeling and coring them. This thing literally takes 2 minutes and you have perfectly sliced pineapple rings. It is worth every penny!
3. Health Ade Kombucha. I love kombucha, but Heath-Ade is my fav. They have a ton of delicious flavors (pink lady apple and California grape are my favs) and their bottles are so stinking cute. The best part is that no one else at home like these, so when I put them in the fridge, I can be sure they will be there when I go back to drink one. Mommy success!
4. Orange is the New Black. I was obsessed with the first season of the show, but wasn’t too impressed by Season 2. The show has redeemed itself in Season 3 and I cannot wait to see what happens in the next season. Seriously, go watch it because so much has changed since Season 2!
5. Sandals. The weather is finally nice enough to live in sandals. These two pairs are my current favs and you can find them at Target and American Eagle.
6. Long necklaces. The one pictured is the necklace I received for Valentine’s Day from my guys, but I have 4 different long necklaces in rotation that I have been loving! I love the way they dress up basic solid tops and can really bring a plain outfit up a notch.
7. OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker. This is a life changing machine. If you are a fan of cold brew and have tried to make it at home, you know that it can be a bit of a pain in the butt. With this, you pour in your coffee and water, let it stand and then in drains the cold brew through the bottom while the grounds stay on top.

My list of March favorites is a bit random, but they are all things that I have been obsessed with all month.

1. Conair Curl Secret. I have been wanting to try one of these for a looong time and it just so happened that it was on sale, I had a gift card and ended up only paying $16 out of pocket for it. That being said it is worth every penny of its retail price because it gives me the nicest curls that last forever. I can curl my hair one day, not put in any product and still have waves in it for the next day, which is unheard of with my pin straight hair.
2. Young Living Oils Citrus Fresh. If you want your house to smell like you just cleaned for hours, diffuse Citrus Fresh. It is a blend of orange, tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, and mandarin oils with a hint of spearmint and it makes everything smell fresh and clean and it just makes you smile when you walk into the room.
3. FitBit Blaze. This is kind of a cheat March favorite because I only got my FitBit during the last week of March. But that being said, it has not left my wrist for more than the time that it needs to charge since it arrived and I am obsessed with it and with meeting my goals, each and every single day. I’m going strong so far!
4. Aladdin Milk Bottle. I bought this bottle with thoughts of it being my take along water bottle, but since it does not fit into the cup holders in my car (total bummer) it has become my at home bottle. It is a 30 oz bottle and I try to drink at least 3 of these bad boys each day on top of the water I drink at work from a smaller, cup holder friendly bottle.
5. Black & White Sneakers. The Adidas pair shown above were a find at Century 21 for under $40, but I also have another pair of black and white Nike Theas that I am obsessed with. Other than work and more formal events, you can find me rocking one of these pairs of sneakers every day. As someone who has not worn a pair of sneakers with a casual, non-workout outfit in years, this is a big change for me and I am loving it!
6. Smith’s Minted Rose Lip Balm. After battling a nasty cold in March, I had chapped lips that I could not get rid of. I used this lip balm religiously for a few days and I was chapped no more. I love the cooling effect it has on your lips.
7. Cracklin’ Chicken. This is not something I can add to my little collage, but Nom Nom Paleo’s Cracklin’ Chicken has become a staple in our  dinnertime rotation. It is super easy to make aside from the splatter, but tastes so amazingly, flippin good. Seriously, try it. You will love this!
