I’ve found that at times I get so wrapped up in the gift selection process that I can leave the purchasing of the packaging goods for the last minute. Luckily, T.J.Maxx and Marshalls help me to be more prepared for gift giving, since the stores provide a wide selection of bows and ribbons, gift boxes, tissue paper, gift bags, wrapping paper and more, conveniently found alongside my favorite finds. The packaging supplies in-store are always well-edited and come in both traditional and super sleek prints and colors, so that from start to end, my gifts look GOOD! I want you to also be able to partake in easily completing your gift giving routine this holiday season by discovering the great packaging offerings, therefore, I’m giving away a $25 T.J.Maxx and Marshalls gift card! See below for the fast and easy rule of entry – good luck!

Making Spring Renewal a Priority… & Haircare GIVEAWAY! WINNERS ANNOUNCED!
I have partnered with Aveeno this week in order to put together a new routine for the season that is meaningful to me, while sharing some goodies with you, too! In anticipation of thinking from a renewal mindset for a healthier spring, three lucky entrants will win a set of Aveeno’s Pure Renewal Shampoo and Conditioner!
If you love Aveeno, you’ll most certainly dig the Pure Renewal Shampoo and Conditioner, which uses ACTIVE NATURALS® Seaweed Extract and naturally derived cleansers, coupled with a sulfate-free technology to remove impurities without over-stripping the hair, safe for a variety of hair types including color-treated hair (hello, red!). Besides utilizing this lovely product, here’s how I’m enhancing my existing lifestyle with a spring renewal routine:
Fitness: I’m going to set a goal of doing yoga every day, but if, at times, this is overly ambitious I will be happy with four days per week!
Fashion: I will wear less black, and experiment with new shapes and silhouettes.
Haircare: Multi-tasking products are all that I will use, such as Aveeno’s Pure Renewal Shampoo and Conditioner, to remove build up while delivering vitamins, proteins, and minerals to restore a natural moisture balance.
Beauty: I will clean my makeup brushes more often- once every other week sounds good.
Diet: I will start bringing my lunch into the office, instead of eating out every day.
Wellness: Vitamins, vitamins, vitamins! Meditation, meditation, meditation! I’m going to try to take these/do this every day.
Work: I will continue to work hard, but activate the “off switch” more often, aka limiting doing it on the weekends.
Tidying Up: I will take 20 minutes a week, to organize and feel a sense of fulfillment as a result, be it pulling and donating items to charity, straightening up my book shelf, or organizing and deleting pics from my iPhoto albums.
Now it’s your turn!

Win a $100 Marshalls Gift Card & Surprise Yourself with New Possibilities
Let me be 100% honest with you: I don’t like shorts. I think that they look bad on everyone, all of the time, and especially terrible on my short little legs. I rarely ever wear them, and are never even a thought, but…what if there was a way to make them cool? Like being incorporated into a lightweight, breathable, army green linen romper just perfect for the summer? Can you even imagine the possibilities of entirely new looks unfolding, thanks to this revelation? I surprised myself at Marshalls; I was very much drawn to this garment, despite my “no shorts” regulation, but rules, especially fashion-related ones, are meant to be broken. I was certainly inspired to try something new, and evolve this look into a summer festival/concert-going look for the over 30 set.
Adding in a tassel bag upped the festival vibe, along with an array of bangles, vibrant jewelry, and espadrilles. I already have tickets for a few summer concerts, and this inspired me to pick up one more: to a reggae fest at Red Rocks Amphitheater. I’m also prepared for scorching days and chillier temps at night thanks to one extra versatile accessory (cue in the pashmina wrap!).
Now, I’d like you to also have the opportunity to surprise yourself with new high-quality, unique style possibilities that you can discover at Marshalls.
I’m giving away a $100 gift card to one lucky winner! See below for entry details and the rest of my personal style post!
