I do love my Instagram … but what I really love are Instagram stories! … still not on the “gram” yet, folks??! 

If you’re not familiar with IG Stories, this is a feature that lets users post photos and videos that vanish after 24 hours.  It’s a great way to share a little bit of the behind the scenes scoop on whatever you are actually posting to your IG home page and I, personally, like to have fun with it. Often what I post on stories never lands over here on the blog but when they DO, this means I think what I’m sharing is interesting and something my blog readers might enjoy knowing more about.  

So I did a recent round-up of IG Stories (of which I tend to post between 5-10 of each day) that I think are kind of fab.  Starting with “I and love and you” Pet products

Totally not exaggerating one bit with I tell you that, FUR REALS, my dogs can’t get enough of these natural dry, wet and raw foods.  All of the products are high quality, grain free and guaranteed to induce wags and high-five pawing. Blu & Valentino’s favorites from the collection are the meal enhancers.  Learn all about this fun brand and where to purchase HERE

I like the message behind the “Boss Lady” silk chiffon scarf I’m wearing from Tux Couture

… but what I really like is that they make CUSTOM tuxedo separates for women! I have always wanted a 3-piece white tuxedo and I may very well treat myself to one.  Check out what I’m talking about HERE

I love it when a brand does something that truly benefits others.  These glass beaded bracelets from Sashka Co. are handmade by artisans in Nepal. 

They come in a variety of color options and the Sashka Co. partners with several organizations in Nepal that train and employ hundreds of artisans in rural communities.  These partners are focused on gender equality and empowering women and the women at theses co-ops earn a living wage that exceeds the local minimum wage  Roll a bracelet on a make a difference.  Shop for them HERE.

PSST ~ if you look closely in my sunnies you will spy a rare appearance of the hubs … and in exchange for taking this shot, I did allow him to have ONE of my new SkinTē beverages

That is because I treasure the fact that SkinTē sparkling green tea contains 3000 mgs of collagen peptides, super herbs that soothe your heart & calms your spirit and assists with vibrant skin, hair & nails.  Oh, and NO added sugars or artificial sweeteners.  Code: MORETHANTURQUOISE gets you 40% off.  Shop these babies HERE.

Going to spend a quick minute here to share that I now carry these Ceramiracle Ageless Delight Beauty CHOCOLATE around with me and indulge in one daily.  

I mean, if you’re already eating a little chocolate anyway why not have a delicious guilt-free square that has skin-benefiting ingredients in it? Each square is sugar-free, organic South American dark chocolate that contain a blend of fucoidan-polyphenols and phytoceramides that help to renew your skin from within. Working to improve your skin’s hydration, these chocolate supplements helps to iron out the wrinkles and fine lines, while delivering a potent dose of antioxidants.  You KNOW you want to learn more, do so HERE.

Also from Ceramiracle comes a cult fave and a 2,000 year old Korean beauty staple ~ FIRST LIGHT The Essence.

This is a vitamin and mineral rich elixir is the holy trinity of ingredients with rice water, mugwort and ginseng. Its known benefits  improve the  complexion, firm your skin  and has anti-aging properties.  It’s used like a toner and is applied by patting a few drops over clean skin to help prepare and condition your face for the day.  Read more about it HERE

And lastly,  just tossing in ShoeDazzle here for kicks because when you become a VIP your first style is $9.99.  Mine are from their new spring collection.
