5 FRIDAY FAVORITES: FRESH BEAUTY

September 1, 2017

You know what makes me entirely too happy? A well-design shop that smells like a spa – and that’s exactly what Fresh is. You may know Fresh as their products are sold at brands like Sephora and Neiman Marcus. But what you may not know is that their very first apothecary store was opened in Boston in 1991. Ever since I moved to Boston I fell in love with this shop and is part of what got me excited about caring for my skin more and why you see so many skin care posts on Oh, I Design. I’m thrilled that they invited me in to try some of their newest products and I have a few favorites listed below. But first, can we take a moment to “ooh and ahh” at their store design?! Don’t forget to sign up for their new Loyalty Program! It’s free & you basically get a ton of amazing perks like a welcome gift, a free birthday gift, access to private sales and free shipping at Fresh.com. Also, the more you spend the more you receive!

6 SKINCARE MUST-HAVES FOR WEDDING SEASON

June 29, 2017

Wedding Season is upon us! Although we have only one wedding to attend this year, I have some friends that are going to 5! I wanted to share some of my favorite healthy skincare products for not only the bride but also the guests. I’ve tested all of these products thanks to my kind friends at Follain, and can’t recommend them enough.

one // RMS Magic Luminizer – I’ve been using this luminizer every day that it’s sunny out! I put it on as a highlighter (above my cheekbones and in the middle of my nose). It’s hydrating and provides the perfect glow! It’s a product I can’t live without at this point.

two // RMS Coconut Oil Makeup Remover Pads – Another RMS product I’ve been using non-stop. These don’t need a lot of explaining, it’s coconut oil in a wipe. Great for throwing in your purse or travel bag on those nights you are more than likely not going to wash your face. Maybe due to those extra glasses of wine? 😉

three // Orgaid Vitamin C Sheet Mask – A new favorite. I love bringing sheet masks when I travel, they come in handy when your skin needs a little boost of moisture or brightening. This one would be perfect the night before a wedding or the morning of to boost your skin’s radiance.

four // Lumiere Body Oil – Bronzing – being fair-skinned, this one is a must for any event or wedding in the Summer/Fall months. I love the way the oil gives my skin a beachy glow with some color! Obsessed.

five // W3ll People Bio Brightener Powder – with a number of oils I typically use on my face, this powder helps set them and tones down the excess oil. It’s a staple for a Summer outdoor wedding because if you’re like me, you sweat…A LOT. This magical powder will help blur pores and fine lines as well!

six // Ilia Tinted Lip Conditioner with SPF 15 – The perfect amount of color and protects your lips from the sun! My lips tend to be on the dry side and anytime I put on lipstick I’m so nervous they are going to crack or it’s going to look messy after an hour or so. These are super creamy and lasts awhile!

This post was created in collaboration with Follain, my go-to natural skincare shop. Thank you for supporting brands that support Oh, I Design!

5 FRIDAY FAVORITES: Z GALLERIE

May 19, 2017

I had the pleasure of visiting Z Gallerie’s new store at the Natick mall in Massachusetts! When I lived in San Diego, I sourced a lot of art and decor from their store and am so happy to be able to visit their location here to see various pieces in person. Insider tip: they have some beautiful large-scale art that is affordable – I love sourcing art for clients that have large walls to fill with smaller budgets. After perusing their glamorous store last weekend, I found a few pieces I LOVED (and a couple I saw online).

one // animalia canisters two // rose quartz on gold stand three // laurel flush ceiling sconce four // winslow bar cart (stunning in person!) five // pastel sweep 1 art

Have you been to Z Gallerie?!
