Brought to you by Dove and #TryDry

Every day we're creeping closer and closer to spring and it's making me so excited for warm weather and fun outfits! Taking weekend getaways and fun trips is the best feeling especially during these busy months. There are so many things to worry about when you're packing for a vacation and hoping to have everything fall into place for a smooth trip to your destination and an even better time once you arrive. I've been dying to take a trip somewhere to get a change of scenery and hopefully some gorgeous weather - my packing list is never short, but it's definitely become less stressful and much easier knowing I have my Dove Dry Spray with me!

Tips to Master the Layering Necklaces Trend

One of my absolute favorite trends right now are layering necklaces. I love the way they look; they can be dressed up or down and are so versatile! There are so many possibilities and I recently saw a look with a big statement necklace and two much more dainty necklaces with it and it looked SO pretty. Layering your necklaces can even mean wearing a few of your favorites together - there's endless possibilities. I also love that you can wear them together, separately or with others, mix and matching can be so fun and with pretty necklaces, why not?! This is kind of like an effortless trend because you can easily throw on three or four of your favorite necklaces and be good to go, maybe that's why I love it so much ; )

I am so lucky to have found Annika Bella Jewelry - if you want some of the most beautiful layering necklaces among a TON of other gorgeous jewelry, Annika Bella is for you! Dana has the most beautiful handmade jewelry and she is so creative in her work. You would never guess that these pieces are handmade; she has hands down the most amazing Etsy shop I've ever shopped on!

This post is sponsored by TRESemmé, a product of Unilever, as a part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central.

I’m so excited to be partnering with TRESemmé to share the latest line of innovative, time saving and revolutionary products that create the latest trend of the reverse wash and care hair process. I wash my hair daily and as most of us are used to, we wash, condition, dry and style. TRESemmé has worked to change the way that we take care of our hair and since I began using these products, I can’t believe what a difference they’ve made in the weight and shine of my hair.

DIY: Pastel Mason Jars for Easter

Seasonal decorating is a ton of fun but if you're busy and have a hard time to find time to decorate, then this is for you! I love decorating for spring and more specifically, Easter. I've been trying to come up with a fun, quick and simple DIY project for Easter decor that is great to make last minute as a center piece, favor, candle holder, vase, the list goes on and on. These vases are fun to make because there's so many different patterns and colors to choose from and they can even double as all year decor in certain rooms of your home.

Making your own decor can be really fun, but also very time consuming. In case you're still looking for a fun DIY for this weekend, here are the cutest mason jars that take SO little time to make! There's so many varieties of patterns you can create too:

Somehow, it's the end of another month and time to share my favorite products of the month again! Seriously, where is time flying by to?! I feel like I was just writing about my February favorites yesterday and now March has come and (almost) gone. This month has involved a LOT of products I've tried and have loved and ones I'm still dying to try too - I think it's mostly because spring has finally sprung and it's calling for some serious wardrobe and closet updates! I love trying new things for new seasons, so there's a lot of things I'm loving right now.

There are so many new trends for the warmer months and most brands are releasing new things - whether it be clothing, accessories or makeup, there are a ton of new products that are swoon worthy and must-tries and must-haves! Here are some things I'm loving and currently craving from this past month:

As you may have heard me say before, I've been looking for some great new skincare products in the past couple of months to keep my skin healthy and looking fresh. Especially with the warmer months ahead of us and the time of year that so many of us like to spend out in the sun, keeping your skin healthy, clear and beautiful is so important. I'm so, so happy to have found the Paula's Choice line of skincare products and I was even more excited to have learned that they have so many different products for different types of skin; that made me positive that I would absolutely love this brand.

If you're not looking to spend a fortune on skincare products but want a quality line of skincare that literally will cater to your skin type, Paula's Choice is SO for you. I was so excited when Paula's Choice offered me a skin consultation so I could explain exactly what I was looking for and get the exact products that would help my skin. In the past few weeks that I've been using these products, I've seen a difference in my skin and I've even noticed that my face makeup looks so much more natural which is a serious bonus!

Spring Entertaining Must Haves

Happy Spring! It may not totally feel like it in New York yet, but the warmer, sunnier, daylight filled days are upon us. I'm so excited for the warmer weather and outdoor living and entertaining is the best part. Getting fresh new decor, furniture and even having a new set up for your outdoor space can make it feel like a whole new spot and who doesn't love shopping for new home accessories?!

With Easter now being less than a week away, I'm in full decor mode and so excited to have a spring refresh inside and out. This is my favorite time of year to start planning all sorts of fun parties and get-togethers and I've been on the hunt for the best new items for this spring to do just that:
