Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant went for a ride, and I mean I ride, this week. It was with me at spin class, barre, and yoga, and worked equally as hard at all of them to keep the 48-hour protection at a maximum while multi-functioning to keep underarm skin at the optimal soft and smooth status (thanks to Wantable for the sweet workout gear!). Available in 10 scent options (one of which is for sensitive skin/unscented), choose from the two new scents (Original Clean, Powder Soft), or stick with an old favorite (for me, that’s Cool Essentials and Caring Coconut), but either way, the benefits are the same. All include Dove’s signature NutriumMoisture formula combined with humectants to help the skin lock in the moisture, plus sunflower seed oil and stearic acid to help with skin cells’ turnover process. Last, the softer, smoother underarm skin can appear in as little as three days, while Dove’s Advanced Care Clear Tone line has the addition of calendula to help with evening out the skin tone (available in Clear Tone Pink Rose, Clear Tone Skin Renew, and Clear Tone Sheer Touch). Each Advanced Care product retails at mass food and drug retailers nationwide, at $4.99-$6.49 each.

Fashion Pulse Flash: Elaine Turner, Garcia Artwear, more
Here’s what I saw, tested, and conquered this week from the world of fashion and beauty!
I stopped by the new Elaine Turner boutique this past week, located in New York’s Upper East Side to take in the newest arrivals from the brand’s resort line (dubbed Destination: Buenos Aires), and learn a bit more about the brand’s signature style and different approach to product and selling. The Texas-based brand offers a well-edited mix of affordable yet luxurious apparel and accessories, blending right into its Madison Avenue surroundings, yet creating a relaxed and update atmosphere to shop in, with brightly painted walls, and plush pink couches to lounge on, with the option of occupying one of your hands with a glass of champagne; after all- shouldn’t shopping be an uplifting experience?Some of my favorite pieces from the store include the Julia in Black (not surprising, right?), the Bella Blush Python Clutch, and the Smartphone Wallet in Taupe Washed Leather. Which piece is your Elaine Turner must-have?
Have you been on the hunt for a lovely new scarf? If so, check out the lineup of Garcia Artwear scarves, inspired by the drawing of the one and only, Jerry Garcia. I’m pretty confident you’ll love what you see (the Banyan Trees style is my favorite), and to make the deal even sweater, a bunch of them are on sale for $19.99 right now, AND you can also apply the coupon code “LOVE” at checkout for an extra 10% off (expires 2/14)!
This tiny tube of Clinique is a godsend; it’s a hydrating cream that brightens AND protects from the detrimental ways of aquiring skin damage and lines — from the sun!
