Festive Autumn Decor For Your Bath

Disclosure: I was provided a sample for review purposes only. All opinions are 100% my own. Please see giveaway disclosure at the bottom of this post. 


Autumn is officially here! Say goodbye to summer and welcome fall by adding a few warm touches to your home with these festive decorating ideas for your bath. When the seasons change, so do the accessories in my home. I replace the pastel pink pillows on the sofa and the linens in the bedroom with darker, richer jewel tones that make my home feel warm and cozy.
Preparing your home for a new season is easiest when you keep it simple. GORGEOUS, LUSH bath towels from the Hotel Collection, add instant color and texture to my bath. Not only are the Hotel Collection Ultimate MicroCotton towels visually appealing, they are INCREDIBLY SOFT and plush as well! I absolutely LOVE wrapping myself in luxury and feeling pampered!
I would describe the towels as 'divine decor'! You are getting the best quality towels and a beautiful decor accessory all in one.

IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS...
It's amazing how a splash of color can brighten up the bathroom and give it a new, seasonal vibe. The Ultimate Micro Cotton Hotel Collection comes in a variety of favorite neutrals, gentle pastels and rich jewel tones that complement and can accommodate every style decor. Use the fresh, fluffy towels in a color that works with your room's color scheme or try contrasting colors for visual interest.
Below are a few ways to display your luxurious and colorful Hotel Collection towels:

How To Straighten Your Hair Like A Pro with Simply Straight! {Giveaway!}




Do you love smooth, straight, shiny hair, but don't want to put in the time and effort it takes to achieve a sleek look? Well, I've discovered a super easy and fast way for any hair type to go frizz-free and straight in a few minutes. It's Simply Straight and it's a ceramic styling tool that makes straightening your hair as easy as brushing your hair!




The first thing I noticed about Simply Straight was its unique ceramic-wrapped bristles. They didn't look like other hot styling brushes I've tried in the past. The Simply Straight™ bristles are designed in such a way that they detangle and lift the hair at the root as you brush through your hair. 

Billion Dollar Brows Universal Brow Pencil {Review}

Disclosure: Style, Decor & More received a sample for review purposes only. All opinions expressed herein are 100% my own. 

Today I am reviewing billion dollar brows’ Universal Brow Pencil. The description on the box states that the specially formulated pencil will match all eyebrow shades, hence the word “universal” in its title, so it’s time to put the “one color fits all” claim to the test!
After taking the pencil out of its packaging for the first time, I noticed that it was a good size. It’s very equivalent to the size of other popular brow pencils on the market right now. The pencil is double-sided: one side with the colored product, and the other with a spoolie brush. In my opinion, spoolies are ESSENTIAL for brow products, because it makes it so much easier to blend out the product and adjust how much of it you want to be distributed in each area. The product end of the pencil is crayon-like and retractable, which is a great feature because you never have to actually sharpen it, but can just simply twist up when you need more product.

How To Remedy Chapped Lips Fast with @ChapStick! {Plus a Giveaway!}


A few weeks ago it seemed that many of us were going to escape the wrath of winter weather. Temperatures were mild and snow and ice were a distant memory in headline news. Well, the mild winter quickly changed for many of us this weekend as a prehistoric blizzard hit several states. Northern Ohio was spared, but the lake effect snow machine was running full blast the week prior to the storm and we had 8-10" of snow on the ground. The snow is very pretty, but when it starts to take a toll on my skin, that's another story.

One of my biggest beauty problems in winter is chapped lips! As soon as the temperatures drop and the heat kicks on in the house, I immediately feel the effects on my lips, and my lips dry out, crack and peel if left untreated.


To prevent a parched pout I stock up on ChapStick® and keep plenty on hand.

Slip Into Stylish Comfort with Therafit Shoe! {Giveaway!}


They're here! Therafit's stylish selection of Coco ballet flats are the newest arrivals in Therafit's comfort collection!

This stylish lacey fabric flat is available in four fashionable colors! I've had the awesome opportunity to review Therafit's Coco Ballet Flat in black. The flat is also available in red, beige and navy. Let me tell you, I couldn't be happier with the incredible comfort of these shoes! They are very durable, versatile, and offer excellent cushion. The rubber outersoles provide amazing stability and traction too! I'm seriously in love with these shoes!

Get Glam Nails with Madam Glam!


If you have been following my blog for the last few months, you know that I am a fan of Madam Glam Gel Nail Polish.  Their gel polishes are super easy to use and keep my nails looking as if I've just stepped out of a salon! All the nail colors I've sampled from Madam Glam leave behind a super high gloss shine that demands serious attention! Believe me, I've received compliments from cashiers at stores to friends and complete strangers at social events.  Anybody who sees your hands will take notice. And I must say, holding a fancy drink with awe-inspiring color and shine on your nails is feels amazing! 
Madam Glam's super easy-to-use 3-step UV gel nail polish system consists of a base coat, nail color, and top coat. Each step requires a short curing time: 2 minutes under a UV Lamp, 30 seconds under an LED lamp, and offers the ideal solution for those seeking a well-groomed manicure without a visit to a manicurist. It's so fast, easy, long-lasting, and oh so shiny, people will think you've spent a fortune on your nails! Just take a look at the high gloss shine on my nails (below) and you will see why I LOVE Madam Glam! 

A Revolutionary Approach To Brushing Your Teeth: Meet FOREO's ISSA Toothbrush!


We all know that you are never fully dressed without a smile, right? In fact, according to a recent study conducted by the American Academy of Periodontology, 50% of survey respondents said that the first feature they notice when they meet someone, is their smile. And if that weren't reason enough to smile, scientists have also discovered that smiling can actually help your health! The simple act of smiling sends positive neural messages to your brain that benefit your mood and thereby enhance your overall health! 

Healthy teeth and gums are important for a great smile. If you don't take care for your teeth and gums, poor oral hygiene can lead to other health problems. That million dollar smile is priceless, especially when it comes to your health!

You know my greatest thrill comes from discovering new beauty products and introducing them to you, so it should come as no surprise that when I heard Christie Brinkley had a new line of skincare products, I had to try to get my hands on a product to review and share with you! I think we can all agree that Christie looks absolutely amazing at 61 years young and that she is one of those timeless models/celebrities who has aged gracefully, but let's find out if if her Close Up Instant Wrinkle Reducer and Treatment will help us to age gracefully too!

FOREO LUNA: A Revolutionary Approach To Skincare!





Is it me or do the Swedes seem to be on the forefront of health and beauty? I mean, take their culture, for example. It is much more relaxed than ours and health and beauty are always interconnected. When I think of Sweden, thoughts of world renowned spas, luxurious skincare products and Swedish massages come to mind. So when I heard about FOREO LUNA - a new and unique skincare device born in Stockholm - I couldn't wait to try it!

WHAT IS THE LUNA?
FOREO LUNA is a cleansing and anti-aging device that takes a new approach to skincare with its combination of T-Sonic pulsations with silicone touch-points. When applied across the surface of your skin, these sonic pulsations help to deep cleanse the skin by gently removing dead skin cells and removing dirt from your pores. Sounds great, doesn't it?  LUNA has also been clinically tested and found to be 35 times more hygienic and removes 99.5% of dirt and oil and 98.5% of makeup residue! Impressive, huh? When your skin is cleaner, it can breathe better, and with that comes a radiant and healthy complexion! Skincare products can also absorb into your skin easier and work better! You could say it is like having a daily personal facial in the comfort of your own home.


Is Your Outfit Age Appropriate?

Disclosure: Style, Decor & More received Covered Perfectly samples for review purposes only. All opinions expressed herein are 100% my own. 

Alright, I confess! I will often find myself searching through my teenage daughter’s closet looking for something to wear. As I look through her colorful assortment of sleeveless tops and bodycon dresses, I am secretly hoping to find one that will fit me well!  Unfortunately, I usually leave her room disappointed. I'm finding that the younger, trendier styles are getting more and more difficult to pull off, and I ask myself if what I am wearing is age appropriate. I am not exactly saying I need to wear “grandma” clothes. After all, my mother is 77 years young and dresses very fashionably. The trick, however, is finding articles of clothing that will fit and flatter your figure. 
Recently I stumbled across a fantastic fashion apparel company whose sole purpose is to design fashionable clothing for women over 40. The company is Covered Perfectly and its president and founder, Pauline Durban, created Covered Perfectly after she discovered finding tops that made her feel attractive and confident was becoming a huge challenge. Sleeves were always too short and the length of the body wouldn't cover the tummy. Sound familiar?

I was lucky enough to get to try a top and skirt from Covered Perfectly! The Simple Comfort top I reviewed is seriously super soft and silky! It is made from a fabric I was completely unaware even existed, called MicroModal®The fiber is unique in that it is made of European beechwood and is completely natural and breathable. Its quality and heavenly softness are even guaranteed! When I first felt the fabric, I had that "WOW" moment! I just love the way it feels against my skin and I want this top in every color! There are 13 colors in all!

The Covered Perfectly Pencil Skirt is a classic wardrobe staple all its own. It is lightweight and versatile enough to take me from day to night with little effort. Just like the Simple Comfort top, my skirt is a great foundation piece for my day-to-day wardrobe basics. Another plus...I found that even in temps close to 90 degrees in Cancun, the skirt and top both felt breathable and comfy!

A Charming Keepsake Encircles Her Wrist!

Disclosure: Style, Decor & More was provided a sample for review purposes only. All opinions are 100% my own. Please refer to the Disclosure Policy for more details.



It is hard to believe my daughter (my baby) is graduating from high school already. It seems like only a short time ago she entered the world and now the world is her canvas! Time flew by too fast. My daughter will start a new chapter of her life when she heads off to college in fall, and I am so excited for her to begin creating memories she will treasure forever. 





As part of my daughter's graduation gift, I surprised her with a SOUFEEL charm bracelet. She can create a keepsake of unique memories with her very own, one-of-a-kind bracelet. It is my hope that my daughter will add special charms to her bracelet and capture memories of her life's journey. I personally can't think of a more beautiful way for her to remember special moments in her life, than with a CHARMing keepsake encircling her wrist.

Get Fit In Style - Therafit Shoe! {Review & Giveaway}

Disclosure: Style, Decor & More was provided a sample for review purposes only. All opinions contained herein are 100% my own.

They're here and they're GORGEOUS! Therafit Shoe has unveiled its newest collection of shoes and sandals for Spring 2015 and they've outdone themselves! Not only do the shoes still feature Therafit's exclusive patented Personal Comfort System in the heel base and padded cushioning for long days and nights, they've introduced fun and fashionable prints and colors. I'm seriously in love with these shoes! Maybe you have heard the buzz about Therafit Shoe? When you see Therafit Shoe, you quickly see why. 

As many of you already know, whether you are a runner or a woman always on the go, having a well constructed, comfortable pair of shoes is extremely important for overall health and wellness. 

Therafit Shoe is based on four key principles: comfort, customer, charity and community! Their motto is: "Make Your Whole Body Happy!" A great and spirited motto that the company has truly followed!

Dr. Lisa Masterson, of the Emmy award-winning series, 'The Doctors', co-developed Therafit and has a strong belief in empowering women to embrace wellness in all aspects of their lives. She knows that combining fashion with comfort gives women a solid foundation, both at work and at play. NPI also provides an exclusive bonus DVD with every pair of Thearfit shoes purchase.  The DVD goes over how to conduct activities of daily living or exercise movements, such as walking or jogging, in correct posture to prevent injury or pain.


Therafit Shoe has a loyal fan following including super model and Miss Florida, Jessica Rafalowski! Like so many others, she knows and understands the importance of good health from head to toe! 

Therafit Shoe is also endorsed by the National Posture Institute because they provide the cushion and support that is so important in helping to reduce aches and pains from the stress of everyday activities. The patented Personalized Comfort System (PCS) (shown below) allows the flexibility to adjust the impact protection that is best for you. Isn't that ingenious?


3 Minutes to Younger Looking Skin! {Sudden Change Review & Giveaway}

Disclosure: This is a product-provided, sponsored conversation that contains affiliate links. I received a package of Sudden Change Under-Eye Firming Serum for my own personal use.  All opinions, text and experiences are my own. 


Over the years, I have grown to value the importance of taking care of my skin. Who doesn't want younger looking skin, right? Especially when I will be turning 50 years old this summer, it is time to get serious about taking care of my skin. I have found my skin is changing and beginning to lose its elasticity, and under-eye circles and bags are becoming more pronounced than ever - even with the use of a concealer. I know it is all an inevitable part of aging, but I still intend to fight it every step of the way.



I've recently had the opportunity to try Sudden Change Under-Eye Firming Serum which is quite different from other serums I have tried in the past. It is applied with a dropper to dispense the proper amount under the eye area, but unlike any other skin product I've tried, Sudden Change Under-Eye Firming Serum works INSTANTLY! After applying just a few drops under each eye, I feel a tightening sensation in seconds.
