Moodsey - healthy beauty, fun & fitness

Only $10 for this fabulous natural facial oil with rosehip, jojoba, evening primrose, and no parabens, phthalates, sodium laureth sulfate, or petrolatum. Burt's Bees Complete Nourishment Facial Oil. Purchase it HERE. The aromatherapy makes me feel very zen. I do not find it pungent as the jasmine used in lovely yet far pricier products (like Tata Harper). My skin (and I) are feeling and looking nourished. If you feel like letting your hair down and walking on the wild side, try layering it with The Ordinary 100% Plant Derived Squalane, read about that here mood: lazy. FYI scrunchies are BACK LOL, to purchase the one pictured above click here Days Of The Week Scrunchies at Urban Outfitters. Cheers to a very zen Memorial Day...

mood: experimental

I tried 10 new beauty products and all were lovely but 1 was outstanding. To buy Bye Bye Pores Primer from the brand it Cosmetics, click HERE. I received repeated compliments that my skin looked perfectly even and far brighter. I don't have large pores and never use a primer. It's now what I use after moisturizer alone or before foundation for events and when I simply want to look my best. Sometimes it’s worthwhile to try something we don’t think we need because it might deliver an unexpected positive effect. Here's to an experimental 2018 and being pleasantly surprised by our new discoveries. Happy New Year! Moodsey is about sharing and does not receive proceeds from purchase of this recommendation. ...

I GOT MY FREAK ON & GOT LASH EXTENSIONS. I GOTTA WORK IT! Here are before and afters. Thanks Missy Elliott for your song Freak On inspiration. As I left the salon in disbelief of how good it looked someone yelled "First time? It's addictive!" I was scared that I might look too extra and wanted the excuse that it was part of my costume so I had it done on Halloween. It took an hour and a half at the salon. Shedding occurred week two, but they still look great. With them I feel I need zero makeup which is the #1 reason to do it. Magical best describes the effect. I don't look like a freak. Friends think...

mood: cocooning

Try this 80% organic ingredients 100% natural origin tinted moisturizer for only $5.99 - Organic Wear by Physicians Formula, available at drugstores and HERE. It blends well and disappears into skin with only a hint of color. I am transitioning from my summertime daily SPF 50 sunscreen + no foundation to Organic Wear. It has an adequate amount of SPF 15 protection for Fall, Winter when I am mostly cocooning with limited daily outdoor sun exposure (but still desire protection, help evening out skin tone). I just gave it to my mother in law who also likes it! Additional Physicians Formula product mentions HERE. Cosmetics Chemical Truth HERE.

mood: mindful

You've got to try these! If you are feeling mindful like me and would like to take part in the healthy beauty movement, then here are two brands that have none of the polish chemicals you and your children may want to avoid rms nail polish and tenoverten. Each available on Amazon and under $20. My tenoverten manicure from their tribeca nyc salon was amazing and lasted. Orange is the new "it" nail color per Allure's Orange Nail Polish Trend For Spring 2017 and continues to be, but muted and darker for Fall. My pick; RMS Smile. Soon we won't have to worry and wonder what potentially harmful chemicals are in our products because we will stop buying those that have them and they will no...

What do grandma curtain vibes and a book about fitness have in common? Summer, of course! Here are my two favorite purchases from summer which ended today, the first official day of Autumn. ☑ The MAJORELLE collection Rosebud Romper in vintage floral from Revolve The floral trend continues into Autumn but head to toe maxi even midi florals are not easy to pull off. The trick, according to the 100 (I kid you not) fashion youtube videos I watched, is to keep the print small, break it up with a belt, jacket or sweater, and boots. Easy right? Lol. We shall see. ☑ Fitness Junkie by Lucy Sykes and Jo Piazza This novel is about our obsessions with getting fit, available on Amazon - From the bestselling authors of The...

This feels like I'm wearing pajamas and requires zero styling because everything goes and it looks great with no jewelry. Do you have a black romper? Here are options if you don't: sleeveless ruffle, cold shoulder, off shoulder, short sleeve scalloped, more cute options than you could ever imagine. On me: sleeveless ruffle, L.K.Bennett leather wedge, also nice are these tan flat sandals that remind me of the Hermès Oran Everlane, vintage family Nantucket basket bag.

This sounds interesting, can't wait to see if it's good. In beta is Amazon's convenient new Prime Wardrobe service - free 7 day try on, up to 20% discount, free returns and box pickup from your front door. I am curious for it to launch because my daughter and I've discovered new brands carried by Amazon like: Lilly Pulitzer, Michael Stars, Ray Ban, etc. Did you know that you may checkout of your favorite sites via Amazon for entire family and household items like Shopbop even IKEA (officially in 2018). Amazon is becoming a giant retail magnet of more brands (Whole Foods the latest), because brick and mortar stores are dead and someone has got to aggregate in a convenient...
