What do ya say? Spa night babe?

Hello again! 
So I'm excited to share a fun super chill post today for a sort of date night type deal with your babe? 
Call it what you want. But I LOVE doing Spa nights. I'm talking face maskin', nail paintin' & bath bomb exploding kinda night. Adam... doesn't love spa night, or the thought of it. But every time
we're done I say "See! Wasn't that fun?" And he always is quite amused. So I wanted to do a little
'What you need' type post to have a fun and relaxing spa night with yourself or your lover!

What you need: 

1) Exfoliating Brush *I love the Spin for Perfect Skin by Vanity Planet*
5) Bath Bomb *I love Lush's products*
6) Snacks. Duh.

1) Exfoliating Brush - I keep telling Adam the importance of implementing a skin care routine and how much it will benefit him for the years coming! Let's just say he never really listened before I got him the men's Spin for Perfect skin by Vanity Planet. He uses it in the shower to exfoliate with a gentle cleanser. I also LOVE that it has a body attachment so I can help keep his back clear and blemish free (he's always playing some kind of a sport) by exfoliating with the brush! I also exfoliate 1 to 2x (depending on how dry my skin is) with the brush and it's the only thing I can use! When I try and use like actual exfoliator cleanser my skin freaks out and normally breaks out. 

USE MY CODE INDIGOSPIN at checkout to get 70% off your Spin Brush!

2) Cleanser - I'm always on the hunt for a good cleanser. My skin is just sooo sensitive and is easily agitated and breaks out. I definitely have combination skin and acne prone skin. Adam on the other hand could literally wash his face with dirt and it wouldn't matter. I've been using the Nature's Gate Cleansing Gel Lemon Verbena in combination with my Spin Brush and I'm obsessed. My skin is super clear right now and has a 'glow', Adam even told me soooo that's saying something. Haha

3) Face Masks - I love using Florapy Beauty Face masks on spa night because Adam absolutely loathes taking off face masks. With Florapy it's mess free and super quick and gives you the perfect boost and glow your skin needs. I've posted quite a few times on my Instagram about Florapy and I really stand behind their products! Adam also enjoys wearing them and it gives him some time to lay back and relax after a stressful day at work! 

4) Nail Polish - Even though Adam can't really participate when I'm painting my nails it's still fun! Like why is it that when I have my nails painted I feel like my life is put together? Idk. Call me crazy but nothing like a fresh mani and pedi. I've tried to get Adam to join in on the fun by giving him a little primping and give him a mani and pedi (he loves it). The great thing about the Spin brushes is they come with a pumice stone attachment and you can get all the dry rough skin off with little to 
no effort. HEAVEN. 

5) Bath Bombs - They're the best thing ever invented and sooo nice to crumble up and just relax in. I honestly don't know what I'd do without Lush's bath bombs and bubble bars. They really bring a luxurious feeling to the bath (even if yours don't cover half your body like mine) and makes you feel like a queen. 

6) Snacks - Like what's spa night without a good ole snack? I love throwing some white cheddar popcorn in a bowl to munch down on while our masks are sitting. Throw on a program on the ole TV and you're golden. 

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this! Go do something fun with your hubby or treat your SELFIE. There is always time that needs to be allotted to relax and take care of yourself! 

xo,

Festival Survival Guide w/ UO

When I was putting this post together I was listening to Penny Lane by the Beatles. 
So for your sweet ears pleasure I've linked the YouTube video below so feel free to press play
while you're scrolling through. 

I've teamed up with Urban Outfitters to put together a look for Festival Survival! Although I've never
attended Coachella or SxSW, Utah has a rad outdoor concert series called Twilight Concerts and I attend just about all of them! With that being said, they're outside, crowded and HOT + good music,  I can image that's just about what it's like to attend a larger music festival! 

 1) I picked this sweater dress by Ecote (which is on sale now) because I thought it'd be perfect to slip on and go! You might be thinking *ugh a sweater dress for real* but this sweater dress is super light weight and super comfy and would be perfect to throw on over  swim suit! I was also thinking... desert.... sun down.... cold.... this is the perfect versatile piece to keep you cool & warm

2) You need a jacket! Why not strut your stuff at sunset with the most radical jacket of all time?
Understated Leather slayed with this Heck Yes jacket and I knew I needed to rock this at a 
festival! And really, I think having a jean jacket that you absolutely love is necessary for your closet!
I always seem to gravitate towards jean jackets when I'm on the run and want a cute quick look!

3) Closed toe shoes! Sandals are fun and cute but a no-no for festivals and concerts. Your sweet little toes will get destroyed (I know from experience) it's too crowded and people are having a good
time so protect your toesies! I love these classic white Converse and wear them year round. But, I think they really pull the whole look together and give it a cool, casual vibe.

4) Quick make-up. Loving the line MILK makeup that UO recently started carrying. They're products are packaged amazing for on the go and they provide a quick cool look! Not to mention the 
quality is amazing! We've been using the Cooling Water stick in the morning to give our skin a
quick wake-me-up and it sleighs! It really feels so good!! Don't forget SPF!

5) Film Camera... Like duh. I take my film camera with me any time we're out and about. Don't make the mistake I did and get one that has film that is SO pricey and impossible to find. I ended up
switching to this one and I love it (p.s. this is on sale for just $70.00 that's a steal)! Much smaller, compact & the film is much more inexpensive and is sold nearly everywhere

of course I could go on and on but here's just a small little start to get you festival 
ready! I will do another post with a picture guide of exactly
what you need!

Wild Wild Fest

There's nothing that really gets me going more than Nasty Gal. 

I could end the blog description there, but since I care to explain.... Here ya go. 
If you've been following me for a while you know I basically live, breath, die nasty gal. They 
are my fav for go-to staples, splurging a little here are there. And getting pieces 
you can't get ANYWHERE else. 

With festival season just around the corner I'm like majorly inspired by the drop of Nasty Gal's new 
Rodeo Revival collection. I. Need. It. All. Surprise me? 
This year I'm super inspired by lace, layers, mixing + matching textures and jaw dropping
looks. I put together this look with that in mind. 

This dress speaks for itself. Need I say more? With the cape in the back for a little extra *surprise* 
I basically swoon. Because of the detail of the dress I kept my accessories super simple with this
beauty wrap around choker and THESE BOOTS. Unacceptable. 

Keep the sun off your pretty little face with a rad hat. I fell in love with this hat by Lack of Coloraus

what else is inspiring me this festival season:
