So often I read about finding their “holy grail” whether it be the perfect red lipstick, the just right jeans, the hair product that gives them Giselle hair, whatever. While I do have certain products and/or brands of clothing I’m super loyal to I don’t know that I’ve ever found my “holy grail” (although my GAP boyfriend jeans are pretty damn close) of anything. That is until now. This is in no way a sponsored post. Believe me, I’d be doing a happy dance if it was. Strivectin, my friends. Strivectin. Case closed, done deal. I will never use another facial moisturizer again. I’ve always been curious, but truth be told, I didn’t want to spend the money to find out it didn’t work. Because my friends, it ain’t cheap; at least not by my definition.
I finally decided about a month ago to give it a go and it is hands down awesome. I’ve always used Olay Regenerist and maybe it was holding things at bay, but I never noticed an actual difference. After about a week using the Strivectin I saw a noticeable difference around my eyes and on my neck. I always use it in the morning and shoot for before bed, but here’s a dirty little secret for ya, I don’t always get around to washing off my makeup at night. Oh, the horror. Most nights I do use it, but not always. I love it so much, I actually sprung for the eye cream the other day. I’ll report back after I’ve used it for awhile. To sum it up, did it make me look 25? No. Did it make the transgressions of my youth and the march of time less obvious? Yes. Will it work for you? Who knows, but you might want to give it a try. View this as a public service announcement to my friends “of a certain age” as well as to my younger pals…because hey, a little prevention might go a long way. You’ll thank me later.
How about this floral blouse? Is it not gorgeous? Where did I find this little gem? Wait for it….Tractor Supply. Many moons ago I also found this belt at Tractor Supply as well. I know, why am I shopping at Tractor Supply? Actually, I was there for dog food and spied this on the clearance rack on my way to the pet aisle. This goes to show you, keep an open mind in regard to where you look for clothes and accessories. I often shop in the men’s department, the boys department, and I recently picked up a gorgeous scarf at our local small town pharmacy. Cool things can be found just about anywhere if you keep your eyes open.
I was originally going to pair it with my navy blue GAP khakis, but, um…I may have ingested one or three too many packages of Red Velvet Oreos last month and therefore my khakis weren’t fitting in the most attractive manner. Hence, the lounge pants. Honest, they are the exact shade of burgundy that’s in the flowers on the top. For some reason every time I photograph them they seem to read brick red in the photos. You’ll just have to take my word for it.
