Kristin Cavallari 2021 Instagram Fashion

Kristin Cavallari looked so cute in her black leaf print romper she posted on Insta. I have to admit I was a little mad about seeing it though. Only because I was just shopping for all things fall and then boom I see KCav still in summer mode. But that only reminded me that that’s why we have vacations. So excuse me while I purchase myself a cute new romper and a plane ticket to Cabo. ✈

 

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

Shoppers Swear This Volumizing Mascara Leads To ‘Fuller, Thicker, and Healthier Lashes’

When it comes to incredible makeup products, we get most of our inspiration these days from TikTok—have you seen the incredible $7 pore-erasing foundation that people keep posting about this week? It’s a sight to behold! But every so often when we go back to check in our favorite beauty brands and see what they’re up to, we spot some new life-changing essentials on our own. The most recent? Ilia Beauty’s Fullest Volumizing Mascara.

We didn’t think that anything could be better than the brand’s Limitless Lash Mascara. You know, the one that has 3,000+ perfect ratings. But, even though it happens rarely, we were proven wrong. This equally as iconic mascara was released just a few months ago, yet it already has garnered some major credibility among beauty obsessives. In fact, it has a near-perfect 4-star rating.

Shoppers swear that this mascara “gives you fuller, thicker and healthier lashes” in just a few swipes. We think the secret may lie in the brush’s innovative design (along, of course, with the actual formula).

The applicator is thicker than what you might be used to, and made with nylon micro-bristles so that it can catch and quaff as many teeny tiny eyelash hairs as possible. According to the brand’s own consumer studies, 94% of users said that the product “immediately enhanced their natural lashes” after their first use. What’s more: 97% of these participants said that it didn’t clump when applied. Game. Changer.

This, along with the formula that includes arginine (an amino acid that promotes protein development for your body and hair), provitamin B5 (a moisture-preserving agent found in a lot of shampoos and soaps), and weightless waxes that can each help aid eyelash growth and volume, makes for an absolutely revolutionary find for beauty lovers.

Shoppers can’t get enough of it. In fact, their love for the mascara is eye-raising.

“I would marry that mascara if I could!” wrote one five-star reviewer. “The mascara catches every lash, even the nasty little ones, and gives every lash its own volumizing moment. It feels light, it doesn’t hurt, and you can wash it easily off with warm water.”

Nothing but respect for a passionate fan. Shop the fan-favorite volumizing mascara here. And don’t forget: If it’s your first time shopping at Ilia, you can get 10% off your purchase. You’ll be prompted to take advantage of this deal when you click check out.

Dyson Just Completely Made Over Its Iconic Hair Tools—& They’re Prettier Than We Are

Just when we thought‚ that Dyson couldn’t do any better than its iconic hair tools, the brand proved us wrong. Today, they launched a dreamy new color combo of its hair dryer, straightener, and curling iron, and we’re ready to buy each of them.

The Prussian Blue and Copper tools are everything you could possible want in a hair appliance. They’re good looking enough to display on top of your bathroom sink or front-and-center in you cabinets, plus they work like an absolute charm.

If you aren’t familiar with Dyson’s hair products, here’s a quick synopsis of them all: They’re known for being the best around. Period. Practically every celebrity hair stylist uses them, and for good reason. The hot tools use the power of heated airflow to style and dry your hair all at once—and with less damage. Because they use such advanced technology, I’m going to give it to you straight. They’re pricey AF. But, the majority of these tools have multiple uses. For example, its Airwrap curling tool comes with a whopping six attachments and its Supersonic hair dryer now has a smoothing device that can prevent stubborn flyaways and frizz from occurring.

Basically, they give you salon-quality hair without having to make a trip out to the salon, and without having to exert a ton of effort yourself throughout the styling process. Below, shop the newest Dyson hair tools collection before it sells out (and we’re sure it will). They’re the perfect early holiday gifts for you from you.

Dyson Corrale Straightener

Welcome to 2021. In this fine year, we don’t need cords. They’re useless and tacky and suck to untangle. With this straightener, you can avoid all of the annoyance and give your locks a well-deserved break. It flattens and straightens by contouring to your hair’s shape to gently smooth everything out. This way, you’ll use less heat and get less breakage.

This is your sign to stop spending money at those blow-out places and invest it in the device that will give you equally as beautiful curls with just as little effort on your end.

A warning: If you buy this, you’re going to get an absurd amount of inquiries about where you got your hair blown out. You’ll get so many of these questions that you might begin to think you’re a professional stylist yourself. Go on and live that alter ego.

Ready to Feel Confident After 60? Then Quit Surrounding Yourself with Toxic People

Ready to Feel Confident After 60 Then Quit Surrounding Yourself with Toxic People

When you’re working to get your confidence back and build boundaries at 60 and better, there is one “hiding in plain sight” barrier that will keep you from reaching your goals. 

And that’s surrounding yourself with toxic people. 

You know exactly who they are…

  • The pushy one with unsolicited advice that makes you doubt your decisions.
  • The catty woman with snide comments and back-handed compliments.
  • The one who blames you and makes herself the victim when you call her out. 

Sound Like Anyone You Know? 

Is this a sister? Your mother? Your adult daughter? That “friend”
who says she’s “only trying to help you”?

Every woman over 60 deals with these folks daily. And their
comments are so hurtful because they know which button of yours to push.
They’ve known you for a long time and are well aware of your sore spots,
triggers, and vulnerabilities. They’ve had decades to perfect them.

That’s why just one of their comments can leave you devastated for days. 

The Secret About Toxic People in Your Life

100% of the criticism coming from those people has nothing to do
with you. They are projecting their own insecurities onto you instead of taking
responsibility for their own problems.

Remember the time your sister said, “That dress looks a little
snug on you, don’t you think?” although she knew you were counting calories and
going to yoga three times a week?

You can bet she’d stepped on the scale that morning and seen she was 12 pounds heavier. 

Remember that time you got that promotion at work and, instead of
congratulating you, your mother said, “Oh, so I guess that means you’ll be
spending even less time with your kids”? 

She’s simply feeling resentful that she stepped down from her job to stay full-time with her children and didn’t go back into the workplace. 

What Can You Do About Toxic People? 

Option 1: Do Nothing

Of course, you can continue to let them walk all over you, saying, “That’s just her. She’s over 50 like me, and she just won’t change.” This option is risky though, because you subject yourself to continued frustration and hurt feelings.

Option 2: Stand Up for Yourself

Defending yourself doesn’t have to look like a Jerry Springer fight. But it takes courage, especially if this type of person has treated you a certain disrespectful way for years or decades. You can say, for instance:

  • “Hey, (insert person’s name), it really hurts my feelings when you do/say (insert harmful action here). I would ask that you keep those comments to yourself.”
  • “Hey, (insert person’s name). I notice that you’re always commenting or giving me unsolicited advice on my divorce/looks/weight/recovery/ (insert whatever they’re always commenting on). I would ask that you don’t do that anymore, at least until I specifically ask for your advice.” 

So, here’s my quick heads-up when you stand up for yourself as a
strong woman over 50:

If the person has any amount of emotional intelligence, they may take a step back and say, “Oh, wow. Sorry. I didn’t mean to make you feel bad,” or something along those lines. 

Or… they may get defensive and turn it on you. They may say, “I’m only trying to help you. If you don’t want my honest opinion, then fine.” And then they might stomp away or hang up the phone or stonewall you or some other 5-year-old-at-the-playground silliness.

If that reaction occurs, that is a HUGE RED FLAG that maybe this relationship is unhealthy. This isn’t the end of the world – it’s just an opportunity to set up healthy boundaries. 

No Free Passes for Relatives

Oh, and I get you may not be able to just walk away from that
person so easily. They might be a relative or a close friend you have known for
years.

But being related to someone does not give them carte blanche to disrespect you.

It takes a herculean effort to be confident enough to speak up and stand your ground when they push back. Just remember:

  • Be aware that some of the most toxic
    people may be the ones closest to you.
  • Their hurtful words have nothing to do
    with you, but everything to do with their own insecurities.
  • You have the power to speak up for
    yourself… even if you’re over 50 and haven’t done much of it.
  • Family members and close friends do
    not
    get to be disrespectful just because they’re in your life and have done
    so for decades.

How many times have you been put down by close friends and family? Do you stand up for yourself or do you ignore their hurtful behavior? What two steps will you take the next time it happens? Please share in the comments below.
