We all need to hit the reset button from time to time, and there’s no better place to do it than at The Lodge at Woodloch. Located in the Poconos region of eastern Pennsylvania, The Lodge is an adults-only, luxury destination where peace of mind prevails and nature shines at its absolute best.

Situated upon 500 private acres and opening up to its 15-acre private lake, Woodloch redefines the notion of the very concept of an all-inclusive stay*, with gourmet dining, exceptional service, and activities galore. For the indoorsy, a state-of-the-art gym and robust class schedule allows your usual fitness routine to resume while away, but the outdoors beckon with an archery range, bicycles, fishing rods, kayaks, and fireside s’mores available at a moment’s notice.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been waiting, and waiting, and waiting for the warmer weather to peek around the corner and then be here for good. It looks like it may actually be happening now, which is GREAT since I’ve tested and stockpiled a bunch of beauty products that are perfect for the warmer months. Below you will find my list of must-haves, along with some field notes on what makes them so awesome for the upcoming season.
Unwanted oil and grease in your hair this summer will go ba-bye with this volumizing dry shampoo that smells amazing thanks to oats, rosemary, peppermint and cucumber. The sulfate free dry shampoo also possesses o dyes or parabens, and is perfect for a steamy day to humid night transition, especially if there is no time for an actual hair wash. Actually, who am I kidding; I never have time for an actual hair wash, so regardless of the season, this is my new go-to!
Just in time, am I right? Use code “EVENT19” to receive 20% off orders under $500, and 25% off orders over $500, which includes both full-price and sale items at Shopbop and East Dane. The code is good until April 12th (at 11:59pm EST), but as any sale goes, items in your wish list could sell out quickly! I’ve been coveting jumpsuits lately, so if you are thinking the same thing, you better beat me to it as I’m buying ALL the jumpsuits (not really, just all the ones in black, haha!). Happy shopping!
Everything for me these days is about extreme efficiency, so the more I can do in the shortest amount of time is what reigns supreme. I like to give the impression, however, that I have put a decent amount of time into the way I look, dress, and smell, even though in reality I have none to spare. Luckily for me, I’ve brought four great products into the ring that have kept me smelling lovely the past few weeks with very little effort on my part. Enjoy my list, and I hope you find one that you love too!
Let’s start with the feet: I play tennis 1-2 times per week, and will be the first to tell you that my tennis shoes stink! If I’m really being honest about it, they could use some help so that anyone who is within a 10 foot radius of me taking them off doesn’t pass out. The ARM&HAMMER Shoe Refresher Spray ($5.99) gets rid of odor on contact and has sweat activated Fresh Guard Technology to continue to refresh shoes even after I’ve put my feet back into them. YAY!
