Although I've long vouched for the amazing benefits of Oatmeal, I actually recently decided to change up my skincare routine. Although my former regimen had been doing wonders for soothing my skin and clearing it up, I sometimes didn't feel quite clean and "fresh" enough after washing my face for my liking. So, a couple of months ago, I jumped on the Clarisonic bandwagon and purchased a Mia after reading positive review after positive review. I wasn't sure what I'd make of it, but paired with this cleanser, I'm happy to report that I am now yet another Clarisonic fan. I only wish I had gotten it sooner!

That's why I'm very excited to be giving away a Mia 2, the newest model -- with two speeds and a travel case -- to one lucky reader!

I realize how cliché it sounds to say it's great to shop your closet, but rediscovering a special piece always reinforces how great it can be. This romper hadn't left the confines of my closet since 2011, when I wore it instead of a cocktail dress to a friend's birthday. Inspired by this gorgeous Club Monaco romper the other day, I pulled this forgotten beauty out and wore it in a casual look for an after work coffee date with Alex.
