introducing #influenced!

living in this digital age is awesome for a lot of reasons. the amount of information that we have at our fingertips is absolutely astounding, and i’ve come to realize that a good portion of the products i use, i use because someone has recommended them. sometimes, that’s someone in my “real” life, and sometimes, that’s because of someone online. coming out of that, i’m happy to bring you my “#influenced” series, which is going to focus on products, experiences, and places i’ve tried or am interested in trying based on what i’ve heard from other people.

#influenced by: my sis-in-law

after finally seeing it EVERYWHERE, i finally hopped on board of the billie razor train. i mean, i’m getting my life on a subscription in every other facet [hello, vitamins + probiotics], so why not my razors? it’s only when i need it most that i realize i’m out of fresh razor heads, and billie takes care of that for you. plus, the colors are cute. never has there been such an instagrammable razor, right?

#influenced by: my badass mom

i’ve talked about it before, but my mom is in g-reat shape. due to her dedication to her personal well-being, i’m able to piggyback on some of the cool tech + good-for-you trends she tests out. recently, she gifted me the mirror, and so far, it’s LEGIT. the tech is cool, music in the classes is awesome, and let’s be honest: it makes for an aestetically pleasing mirror for a good ‘ol #mirrorselfie. i got a couple of questions on it when i put it on my instagram, so if you guys are interested, i’ll do a full review once i use it a little more!

#influenced by: some of my favorite coworkers

michelle obama’s book (for obvious reasons … i mean, michelle obama guys) was recommended to be, along with this book as well. the two women that recommended them to me are two that i respect, so i’ll gladly use my amazon audible credits on the books they say are worth the read. or listen.

#influenced by: pinterest

i created a section on my fashionista pinterest board for all of the trends i’m loving right now. think {faux} leather pants, biker shorts, and shoulder details.

#influenced by: kendra scott

i love, LOVE hearing about companies that do good. i listened to this podcast with kendra scott recently, and it made me like her even more. i already own some of her jewerly and have given it as gifts before, but i’ve added it to my list of “companies i want to support” due to her nature of treating her employees and her community well.

also, it’s worth noting that i have been iterating on the layout/color/theme of the blog. thanks for bearing with me! i personally i am refining my personal brand, and along with that, the blog. keep your eye out for more good things in the coming weeks! thanks for hanging in there with me 🙂 have a great weekend!
