Laundry by Shelli Segal Coats Starting at $89 on BeyondTheRack.com




BeyondtheRack.com currently has a great sale on Laundry by Shelli Segal outerwear with prices starting at just $89! This is a brand that always catches my eye at department stores like Bloomingale's but I'm always saddened when I look at the pricetags as their stylish outerwear offerings average anywhere from $250 for a quilted parka to $730 for a leather bomber. But don't take my word for it, you can see the prices for yourself using the ShopStyle widget below. Then, click on over to BeyondtheRack.com and save some cash! Sale ends in one day, so shop wisely. P.S. Beyond The Rack ships to Canada!


Beauty Review: New Reach By Design Collection Toothbrushes




Recently I received three complimentary REACH by Design toothbrushes (approx. $3.99 each), which are part of a new limited-edition series of brushes created with fun patterns curated by interior designers Tom Delavan and Celerie Kemble and celebrity stylist Brad Goreski.

Beauty Review: Corioliss "The Wand" Ceramic Curling Iron from Misikko.com




Back in August, I got an email from Misikko asking if I would like to review one of their super high performance curling irons. Misikko is a "family run business" that sells pro-quality flat irons, hair dryers and other hair accessories. I took it as a sign because I've been dying to try a curling iron (haven't used one since I was a little girl), so I readily agreed and within 2 or 3 days, I received my complimentary Corioliss "The Wand" 18mm Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron ($99.99) in the mail. I wasn't feeling all that confident in my styling abilities but I gave it a try—and the results were shocking!

Beauty Review: JASON Citrus Satin Shower Body Wash


Recently I received a complimentary bottle of JASON Citrus Satin Shower Body Wash (approx. $13.79, 30 fl oz), which I have been using on and off for the past couple of weeks. While I had seen JASON brand products before at my local natural foods store, I was never particularly inspired to actually try it, perhaps because of the name (sounds silly and petty but "Jason" just doesn't pull me in) or because I had never heard anything about it from friends or fellow bloggers (a more likely explanation). Nonetheless, I was eager to give it a try because it's a made-in-the-USA, natural, organic option that's readily available and relatively affordable. If you've been curious about JASON products, keep reading to find out how their bodywash worked for me!
