  • Fall Must-Haves on Suncoast View

    Fall Must-Haves on Suncoast View

    The weather may not drop dramatically on the Suncoast, but we still love to have some fall fun in the sun. We visit our friend Stephanie Roberts on Suncoast View to share some fall must haves that are trending right now! 

    The weather may not change a whole lot, but when it does our hair and our skin FREAK OUT. Whether you grease up at the first shift in temps or you start to look cracky and dry, Iā€™ve got two skincare options below. 

    Humphreys Clarifying Cleansing Pads
    PRICE: $8.98
    SHOP: @walmart

    ā€¢ Fragrance-free, clarifying cleansing pads with Wild Harvested Witch Hazel removes excess oil and balances skin

    ā€¢ Dermatologist tested- no alcohol, dyes, sulfates, or gluten- Vegan and cruelty-free

    Iā€™ve been a fan of this next product for so many reasons. First, it’s clinically proven to extend the lifespan of your injectibles. Yep, I said that.  But, it also is an amazing moisture base to skin that works on fine lines and wrinkles AND firms up any lax skin. It’s a must-have any time of the year, but definitely NOW if things are looking a bit cracky and heading south. 

    Theraderm Eternox Peptide CrĆØme
    PRICE: $110
    SHOP: @theraderm.net
    This lightweight crĆØme is formulated with the goal of decreasing the appearance of lax neck skin and reducing forehead wrinkles and other facial lines while moisturizing. Ingredients include our patented Soluble Keratin Peptides to help visibly reduce signs of aging.

    Florida is a hair horror when it comes to weather. In the summer your hair is dry with damage and oily at the root with sweat. In the winter your hair is static-filled from the forced heat and dry from the same elements as in summer. You must find a hair mask, no matter what your hair type is. One of my favorite brands is Davines. They just have something for EVERYONE and their products are clean and affordable.

    And last but not least, we all love to use the fall season as an excuse to grab some new shoes and maybe even a boot. This season’s boots are all about a lug heel. Maybe youā€™re not ready to sport a full on combat look, but check out these Dr. Marten Embury Chelsea Boots in Black.

  • Fall Must Haves on Daytime Chicago

    Fall Must Haves on Daytime Chicago

    When fall comes around, the leaves aren’t the only things that change. We reach for closed-toe shoes, maybe a heavier face cream, and sometimes even switch up our purses. Today, on Daytime Chicago, we show some new trends and tips for making the fall transition even more fun and fabulous.

    Letā€™s admit it lately, the weather has been all over the place.
    Whether you grease up at the first shift in temps or you start to look cracky and dry, Iā€™m still going to sing the praises of a good clean witch hazel to get your skin balanced and ready for the cold that is inevitably coming. These pads make good skin easy and they are biodegradable.

    ā€¢ Drakkar is excited to present their latest launch, Drakkar Intense. Their first fragrance, Drakkar Noir was a staple product of the ’80s and ’90s, a go-to cologne for men.
    ā€¢ Intense explores the depths of the Drakkar man with new oriental accords, unleashing zesty notes of bergamot while aromatic sage, warm suede, and vanilla create a sense of boldness. 
    ā€¢ The iconic bottle has been reimagined with an amber glow to showcase its power and intensity.

    Another product I have literally gushed about to all is Lanolips. I took a brief break from my gushing and then bam, they launched a new limited edition shade for the fall that is soooooo perfect and works on all skin tones. Itā€™s so good! 

    Lanolips Tinted Balm Spice 
    PRICE: $13.50
    SHOP: lanolips.com
    This beautiful limited edition shade will arrive just in time for the holidays.  A sheer, rich-spiced honeyā€Ætint provides the perfect hint of color for winter.  The balm also includes natural ginger, cinnamon & nutmeg for that nostalgic holiday flavor and has a high lanolin content, drenching the lips in hydration that lasts for hours to combat chapped winter lips ā€“ through holiday parties and more.  99% natural + 1% tint

    Now, I see a lot of fall beauty and fashion trends that are just not possible for working gals like us. Stacked sneakers seem easy until you try them on and those luminous gel skin looks are pretty much great for the club but not so much for the office. 

     This is pretty much one step to glowing skin (and loaded with our fave Vitamin C) and is seriously hydrating for cooler months.

    Invisible Illumination Beauty Serum redefines face makeup: itā€™s as comfortable to wear as skincare and offers sheer coverage for a perfected natural bare-faced finish, subtly enhancing your complexion for a truly radiant, Nordic glow.

    Maybe not a sneaker but let me tell you these babies take you the distance and then some! So comfy!

    This is more of a 2022 thing, but more and more companies are starting to design health and wellness products for women experiencing ā€œthe changeā€. Weā€™ve spotlighted a few brands in the past, and Phenology is one that I am really hearing super positive reports on. I received a bunch of products to try out from cooling mists to this Daily Glow Cream that really does calm and treat menopausal-specific skin issues.
