Women’s Longitude Hoody
The Longitude Hoody is a perfect long sweater/jacket to wear with leggings and looks great with jeans too! It is super soft, warm, and a very flattering cut. You can wear it as a sweater or a jacket.

Ok ladies!! If you have never had a facial, like me, you have to try it!! I spent the best hour of my week at Massage Envy in Cherry Hill and it was AMAZING!! I walked in and the friendly receptionist greeted me and offered me water while I waited. I filled out a few short forms and before I knew it I was escorted to a tranquil waiting area. My skilled aesthetician, Anna, asked me a few questions and then customized my facial to meet my skincare needs and wants. The facial included a shoulder and arm massage so it was very relaxing and peaceful. I thought facials and massages were out of my price range, but Massage Envy has a plan that is right for almost any budget! A monthly membership is on my list this year! I may just get it for myself!

Cure by Chiara
Have to buy a gift for someone that love hair products (I LOVE THEM!!!) I love to splurge on high end hair conditioners, leave-in’s and accessories. I recently started using the 3 items in the CURE by Chiara box. First of all, the box is beautiful that we had to keep it and Hayley has her play make-up in it! I have been loving the products. I use all of them because I wanted to see how they all work since it’s a trio. My hair is typically dry since I use A LOT of bleach in it. I really feel like the trio of products in the CURE box really is replenishing moisture to my hair (and I finish it off with argan oil too!!!) This is a fabulous gift to BUY FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!
