Dry Skin? You Need Bliss High Intensity 24-Heaven Healing Body Balm!

We recently received the Bliss High Intensity 24- Heaven Healing Body Balm, and we can’t stop singing it’s praises around the here. I opened the jar up last week, and it’s become an office favorite for many reasons! Every time someone walks by they’re reaching in and grabbing a little to touch up elbows, knees, hands, and yes shoes have come off for a few people.

What it is formulated to do:
This rich, therapeutic cream provides everlasting relief to seriously dehydrated, damaged skin from head to toe, especially particularly parched, flaky, and problematic parts. With exfoliating lactic acid and soothing, protective colloidal oatmeal, the super-saturating formula is clinically proven to moisturize for 24 hours, breaking the cycle of dry skin to leave it smooth, healthy, and gloriously soft all year long.

Key Ingredients:
-Lactic Acid: Exfoliates dry, flaky skin and promotes the growth of new skin cells. After helping shed, it helps traps the skin’s natural moisture and oils to intensely hydrate.

-Colloidal Oatmeal: Moisturizes and soothes dryness to relieve itchy, irritated skin. Leaves a protective barrier and prevents water loss to help maintain moisture all day long.

-Pansy Extract (Viola Tricolor Extract): Soothes, heals, and treats various skin conditions such as eczema and stubborn dryness.

-Shea and Cocoa Butter: Increases moisturization, restores suppleness, and improves appearance of skin.

What else you need to know:
This product is perfect for year-round use on everything from winter-worn to over-sunned skin. It provides intense relief without a sticky or greasy finish, and is known to help treat psoriasis and eczema.

Do we love it?
More than we can put into words! The cream is soft, easy to absorb formula with a light pleasant scent. And at only $35 for a HUGE jar, it’s a great deal! Once you get it you’ll find yourself applying it to your cuticles, hands, feet, and basically all over–and you’ll never go back to your greasy oils and sticky creams.

Where to Purchase:
Sephora, Nordrstrom, Macy’s and other department and beauty stores carrying Bliss

On a Budget: The 24 hour Dress!

I don’t why I didn’t think of writing this blog sooner. I’m always asked what I swear by, and what items are staple pieces for me. So I decided to share some of my budget friendly finds with you.

My first must have is the Rachel Roy 24 hour dress. The concept of the dress is that it can function all day! Wear it in the morning with a cami, work appropriate shoes, and a blazer for the office. Switch the blazer out for an over sized cardigan if you’re running errands, or with the kids. When 5 o’clock hits, upgrade the flats out for some heels, and throw on some jewelry and meet friends for a drink. If you’re having a late night, lose the cami, plung the neckline, and throw on your highest heels and no one would know it’s the same dress you wore to the office, or worked the school carpool with.

Now there are a gazillion other ways to wear this dress. Add a neon belt, or a chain belt depending on your preference. Add a scarf, hat, or bold  jewelry for fun. Go a totally different direction with classic pieces for a wedding, or to meet the in-laws. I’m telling you this dress is going to everywhere with you!

The Rachel roy 24 hour dress is chic, comfortable, has an extremely flattering style, and is easy to style.  I also love that the arms are covered and you feel totally comfortable in the dress. The ruching is flattering and not amazing over sized pockets. I’m a sucker for anything with pockets! I really love this dress for its versatility and how easy it goes from day to night.

Get this dress for $89.00 at Macy’s or at Rachel Roy.

Welcoming 2012 In Style- Tech meets Fashion!

This month MODE received a $50 from Stanford Shopping Center to see how we would bring in 2012. Being that we love tech and we love fashion we thought a lap top case was the perfect choice! We already told you that Tangerine Tango was the color of the year and we’re obsessed with everything bright and fun! And we couldn’t have dreamed up a better case. We found this beauty at Macy’s and it was love at first site.

Besides being fashionable and fun, this “briefcase” is very light and comes with a handle or a strap for ease of use. It’s available in other colors too but we wanted to follow the fashion trends and go with something bright!
