I stumbled upon this recipe for a homemade face scrub while reading the March issue of Instyle Magazine. I wouldn't normally be so adventurous mainly because I believe in leaving beauty treatments to the professionals, but the four ingredients and recipe itself were so simple I had to try it out.

Ingredients: 

• 3 tbsp ground flaxseed 
• 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt 
• 1 tsp cinnamon 
• 1 tsp honey 

Rebecca Taylor top // AG jeans (similar here)

We're sad to say this is our fifth and final collaboration with Mynt Boutique (for now!). To see our other collaborations with Mynt, click here, here, here, and here. 

Again, we're absolutely loving Rebecca Taylor's spring line. This top is incredibly flattering and can be dressed up or down. I love the feminine shape and mix of fabrics. The back, unfortunately not photographed, has two cutouts that add a fun sexy twist to the top. I'm also a firm believer that every girl should own a pair of fitted ripped jeans. Nothing too boyfriendy or baggy, but something to wear with heels and a blazer or a t-shirt and flip flops. I'm in love with my AG pair, but these Joe's Jeans ones are pretty great, too!

In the past couple of years, I think I have matured tremendously in my style and interior design choices. I love how using all white and cream not only creates a tranquil and calming space, but touches of gold and light pink pop even more. My nightstand is the perfect compilation of who I am and what I like. All of my fashion books have been gifts from my mom or closest friends, so they are very meaningful and special to me.  A small bunch of flowers (white Hydrangeas are my favorite), placed in a mason jar are an inexpensive way to vamp up any nightstand. I think that nail polish bottles are so dainty and cute and add a fun eclectic touch to the space. These Lucia candles in sea watercress and chia tea smell amazing and leave my room feeling fresh and clean.

To keep you motivated this week, we decided to share our current top 25 workout songs! I honestly can't get through a long distance run or hard workout without a playlist filled with upbeat music. We're still working towards our half marathon goal, so this pump-up playlist is a must. 

Let us know if you have any suggestions we can add to our top 25!

M's picks: Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb // Chanel Les Exclusives Gardenia // Chanel COCO Mademoiselle // Harvey Prince Hello
K's picks: Bond no. 9 New York Chelsea Flowers // Oscar de la Renta Oriental Flowers //  Bond no. 9 New York Scent of Peace // Chloe Love

M's Picks: 
1) Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb- I received this perfume as a gift a few years ago and absolutely fell in love with it. It is a perfect mix of light, floral, and feminine scents. I tend to wear this much more in the summer months and think it goes best with a tan and sundress. 

2) Chanel Les Exclusives Gardenia- This is my absolute favorite perfume but I only wear it on special occasions because of how glamorous and luxurious it smells. The Les Exclusives collection from Chanel has a huge range of perfumes perfect for a variety of tastes. 

3) Chanel COCO Mademoiselle- This is my everyday go-to sent. I love when I spray it on in the morning, I know it will last all day.  I find it to be a very classic and sexy scent from Chanel. 

4) Harvey Prince Hello- I got a sample of this perfume in my February Birchbox. I normally don't like fruity notes but I love this Harvey Prince scent. It is a perfect mix of lemon, grapefruit, and vanilla without being overpowering. 


K's Picks:
1) Bond no. 9 New York Chelsea Flowers: I'm obsessed with Bond no. 9 and everything it has to offer. From their perfumes to their candles, the creams to the names of their products, they are a great company and definitely worth checking out. Especially if you are a New Yorker, this is for you! The perfumes are broken up into Uptown, Midtown, Downtown, New York Beaches and other collections including I Heart NYC and Harrods. 

Chelsea Flowers is an amazing, casual scent that I tend to wear during the day or anytime in the summer. Bond no. 9 describes it to be "worn to perfection at New York's newest art gallery-club-restaurant scene". So, if I am ever cool enough to attend such an event, I will also wear it there. It's a mix of white peony, white hyacinth, and musk.

2) Oscar de la Renta Oriental Flowers: My mom just gave me this perfume for Christmas and it's already in my top four favorites. There are a few different scents in this particular perfume line, but the Oriental Lace is a blend of the hoya cornosa flower with hints of honey and bitter almond. It's a scent that will last from summer all the way through winter, and I always receive compliments when I wear it. 

3) Bond no. 9 New York Scent of Peace: Another Bond no. 9 favorite! This scent is extremely fresh and combines grapefruit, black currant, lily of the valley, hedione, cedarwood, and musk. Scent of Peace is another day time rotation because of it's fresh and clean scent. 

4) Chloe Love: This scent is my definite go to. People recognize me by this perfume and always tell me how great it smells. It's incredibly feminine and combines the floral notes of iris, lilac, hyacinth, and wisteria blossom. It also lasts all day which I love. 


Let us know your favorites!

My family is typically dispersed all over the country: New York, North Carolina, Louisiana, Colorado and California, so we do not get to be together very often. But, when we do, it's bound to be a good time. For my aunts 50th birthday she insisted we get together and chose Central Coast California to celebrate. Here is a little taste of the amazing long weekend we had!  

My sister decided that we had to drive down the coast on the scenic California Route 1. While I was hesitant at first because it is twice as long as driving down the main highway, the spectacular views down this historic route were definitely worth the carsickness we all felt winding down 123 miles of edgy coastline. 

We had a lot of fun trying all of the different wineries and breweries in the area. In downtown Cambria we loved the Moonstone Cellars tasting room and the Cambria Beer Company.
