Monday Musings
Last call for a discount code on our favorite hats, a gorgeous date night dress, Gretchen's current 5-minute make-up routine, easy breezy beach pieces with Allison, our go-to sunscreens and more...
Hello! How is everybody doing? We hope you are all having a fabulous summer and inserting joy on the daily to ensure that you (not just your kids) are getting everything you want out of Summer! We talked about this in one of our recent car chats and it’s important. Whether it’s making time to sit down and read a book, go for a walk, allow yourself to sleep in, or order takeout, we hope you are filling your own cup this summer. We are still in different locations enjoying spending time with friends and family and doing all things Summer. Allison is soaking up her last couple of weeks on Coronado Island with her family, Gretchen is currently in Chicago with her Mom, and Laura is home in Phoenix recovering from Italy and taking things slow. Having said that, if you are semi checked out like we are, here is everything that went on last week in case you missed it!
Janessa Leone - last call for 15% off your order with code “GTI15”
If you are a hat person, do not sleep on this code! We wear a lot of hats here in Arizona and these are hands down, our favorite hats. They are chic, have the most beautiful shapes and colors and have so many styles to choose from. See Laura’s recent try-on of her hats here, Allison wearing her hat here, and Gretchen wearing her’s here!
This Red Dress from Rails
Who doesn’t love a lady in red moment? Gretchen wore this beautiful (and equally as comfy!) red number from Rails out to dinner and we couldn’t get enough. The top is a soft, double-lined cotton material and the bottom is poplin. And you can’t see them here because her hair is covering, but the straps have a lovely twist detail that can be moved from front to back depending on your preference. See her in the dress here.
Gretchen’s 5-minute Summer Make-up Routine
Sit with Gretchen as she takes you through her super easy 5-minute Summer make-up routine. Summer is about enjoying days without make-up, but when you have an event or want to spruce it up just a bit, it’s nice to have a dialed down routine that gives you the perfect amount of glow and color for those summer nights.
Barcelona Travel Guide
We love to travel! If you have been following along on Insta, you know that Allison recently visited Barcelona for a week with her Mom. She put together a guide of where she stayed, ate and what she did (and wore) in case you have the chance to visit this gorgeous Spanish city. Laura also recently hit publish on her Italy Travel Guide.
Allison’s Favorite “Do It All Face Serum” - use code GTI20 for 20% off your entire order
This TBH Facial Serum is Allison’s new face holy grail. It acts as a natural retinol without any of the irritation that often comes with many retinols. Allison’s skin is typically irritated with these types of products and she has tried many. Her skin has loved this one. The best part? It has replaced other serums and gels as it not only exfoliates but works to improve tone and texture. She simply cleanses, uses the TBH Facial Serum and follows with moisturizer and eye cream. Every other day she uses her peel pads. Shop Oathology products here with the code! Note code is limited to one use per customer.
Easy Breezy Beach Outfits
Allison popped into a local shop near where she is staying at the beach and found so many perfect-for-summer options. This shop carried a lot of Z Supply, a brand we love for their soft materials and chic, easy sets. Note the black set in the lower right - it’s the perfect travel outfit! Laura owns the same set and wore on her flight to and from Italy. The fabric is a buttery soft cotton, the pants have an elastic waist band and the wide leg is chic with a sandal or a sneaker. Layer your favorite sweatshirt or cardigan over your shoulder and you are travel ready! See her try it all on here.
Our Favorite Sunscreens
We often get asked about our favorite suncreens! These are the ones we use, own and continue to buy on repeat. This list contains our favorite body sunscreen for ourselves and our kids (Supergoop Play!), a mineral tinted for the face (m-61), Allison’s Supergoop glow screen she has been obsessed with at the beach, as well as a brush-on screen for areas like your part, or kids’ faces, necks and ears when they won’t sit still! Check out some of our other round-ups of products we get asked about frequently (like our favorite reading glasses and summer books) here.
