Ever get to Friday and feel like you need at least three more days before you can close out the week? Welcome to my world! I’ve got so much going on I’m struggling to keep up with myself. It’s days like this that I need to exhale and fill my mind with beautiful things… Literally! I’m making an executive decision to end the week the way we started it, beautiful inspiration.

Tybee Island

1. C.O. Bigelow – Lavender & Pepermint Body Lotion- First of all, this is no sample size, it’s a full sized bottle and it is SO wonderful! It smells absolutely incredible and moisturizes really, really well.

2. O.P.I. – Kiss Me on My Tulips- This color is perfect pink color for Summer. It’s almost identical to O.P.I.’s color India Mood For Love, so you won’t need it if you already have that, but this is also a full sized bottle, which is wonderful.

3. Cargo – EyeBronzer- This is easily my favorite product out of the box. It looks like liquid eyeliner, but applies as a dry eyeshadow in a gorgeous bronze color. It’s so easy to apply! I’ve already been wearing this regularly for 2 weeks straight and it will definitely be a staple in my Summer beauty routine. I love this company, and I’ll definitely be buying this product in multiple colors.

4. Erno Laszlo – Hollywood Collection- I’ll be completely honest, I didn’t use these sampler products. I am really particular about any type of skincare and although I’m sure it’s absolutely incredible, I didn’t want to risk it. If anyone wants my sampler kit (it’s not full sized products as shown above), send me an email (lsenna@shoppposhboutique.com) and I’ll send it to you to try.

5. Basq – Cucumber Tea Eye Gel- This. is. wonderful. I’ve used it both morning and night and it hydrates my eyes SO well. I have bags under my eyes (are some people more prone to them??) and the Basq eye gel has helped with puffiness SO much. I’d absolutely 100% highly recommend this eye gel for any woman that has eyes. Yup, all of you.

6. Kryolan – High Gloss Brilliant Lip Shine (Toffee)- Great, great lipgloss. I love lipgloss that is thick with great consistency and wearability, and this Kryolan gloss totally met the standards.

Overall, as you can see, I was absolutely impressed with the products that came in my first GLOSSYBOX. And, even more exciting, GLOSSYBOX has officially launched in the US, so you need to go sign up and get your first box too! I can’t wait for next month’s to come!

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think?

Stay glossy,

Happy Mothers Day!

We all want to leave our mark on this world. Sometimes we get caught up and forget that it’s people we leave our prints on, not our job or degrees. If you are a mother or spend any time mothering…. you have the opportunity to change the world. You spend countless hours talking, praying, and encouraging to ensure that the children in your life succeed. There is no greater job! I’ve been a mother most of my life. I was married at 19 and a mother by 21! I remember the moment each of my children were born, feeling like I was born to love them. Whether I’m cheering their victory, screaming for more character,or encouraging them through a defeat, I thank God for giving me the opportunity. The stories aren’t always perfect; we are a far from perfect clan. I know that the training for me is how I respond to the problem not the attempt to be exempt from trial. Easy is boring. It’s like riding a bike… you use all your muscle to be able to coast, yet coasting only inspires you to engage again! Whatever season you find yourself in today, be encouraged! You are the CEO of a life that is more connected to you than any other. You get the opportunity until you die to leave an
imprint on society.

No company offers that~ The reward is a priceless memory!

Life’s Posh, … live it!

This past week was the fashion prom- the Met Gala event in New York. It’s THE fashion event of the year where the attendees are encouraged to take risks and try daring, bold fashion choices. It’s honestly our favorite event of the year. Some play it safe, but most designers take this opportunity to really truly show what they’re about. This year’s fashion was no exception, there were a lot of incredible looks, but we chose 5 that we all thought were worth talking about.

Beyonce in Givenchy

Jewell: I know she wants us to know that she’s back, but a little coverage on the new mom would have been nice!

Libby: This was my absolute favorite dress of the night. I actually wrote a whole blog post on why I think she’s perfection (you can check that out here), but basically she changed my life in this gown. I love a good risk!

Gennifer Goodwin in Monique Lhuillier

Jewell: My absolute favorite.  The cut was grown yet very fresh and sexy.

Libby: Absolutely, 100% loved this color on Gennifer Goodwin. I think she looks completely striking. The only thing that I really disagree with are those lilac shoes… why? She should have stuck to something more neutral and less costumy, in my opinion.

Rosario Dawson in Calvin Klein

Jewell: I love classics and black, there is a lot to be said for no fuss dressing.  I’d buy it!

Libby: Ah-ma-zing. Her body? Flawless. Nothing quite like a slim fitting Calvin Klein dress on a beautiful woman. I love that this isn’t a typical fabric or style that we’d see from Calvin. It was a good risk for both parties.

Solange Knowles in Rachel Roy

Jewell: Solange looked radiant and confident…. you have to love her.

Libby: It’s honestly unfair to me how beautiful Solange looks in the hardest color humanly possible to pull off: yellow. But yet it blends so flawlessly with her skin tone and she radiates in this dress! The Knowles girls absolutely killed the style game for me at the Met Gala.

Nina Dobrev in Donna Karan Atelier

Jewell: No designer drapes a woman like Donna!

Libby: I loved this. Nina Dobrev looks so elegant, so flawless and that train is more than anything I could ever imagine. This was such a home run look!

As you begin to plan your vacations and add to your bucket lists, I encourage you to venture away from the norm and consider opportunities in places you would not traditionally visit. It does not necessarily need to be to another country, but it should provide you with a wow factor. After all, your travels should be an experience and leave you with memories that lead you to say “remember when” as you recall your time at each place.

Leave us a list of some of your bucket list destinations and we’ll begin to incorporate some of them in our future “Around the World” features.

Until next week.

GLOSSYBOX is a subscription based beauty box system that delivers 5-6 travel sized beauty products to your door monthly. They focus on really excellent quality beauty and skincare products that come from only the best brands in the world. And that’s what is so fun, you’re getting introduced to new brands that aren’t even all sold in America! From this month’s box alone I’ve fallen completely in love with Canadian brand Cargo and Berlin based company Kryolan, which are two brands I’d never heard of before but absolutely love now.

What’s so cool about GLOSSYBOX to me is their immaculate attention to detail. It truly shows their concern for customer happiness. Just look at how cute the outside box that they ship your box in is. I love a well packaged product!

On top of that, every kit comes with a GLOSSYBOX Trend Guide that shows you detailed beauty trends from around the world:

GLOSSYBOX works in three easy steps:

1. Want is: get 5 travel-sized beauty products delivered each month.
2. Get it: join at GLOSSYBOX.COM and choose your subscription plan and create your beauty profile, by which GLOSSYBOX will know how to best customize your monthly box to be full of things that you’ll absolutely want and need. For just $21/month, think of GLOSSYBOX as a little way to treat yourself for a month’s worth of hard work. Come on, we both know you deserve something nice.
3. Love it: GLOSSYBOX is already making women happy in over 19 different countries! Honestly, what woman wouldn’t be happy if beauty products were delivered to their door step every month?!

Next week I’m going to show off all of the products that I got in a video review. I wanted to use them for a couple of weeks before I did reviews on them, but I can tell you that you’re absolutely going to lose your mind when you get your first GLOSSYBOX… the products are AMAZING!

You can sign up on GLOSSYBOX.com, and while you’re at it make sure that you’re following them on Twitter and on Facebook.

Stay glossy!

I am completely in love with Pinterest. It would be impossible to count the number of times I check it per day. I’ve found everything from my latest DIY project to the Prada dress Diane Kruger wore to the Met Gala last night. I’ve also created a large collection of recipes on Pinterest, many of which are super healthy. I wanted to share a few with you and ask if you’ve found any great recipes on Pinterest that we should try. Also, if you’re a Pinterest member (which you definitely should be!) be sure to follow Posh!

1. You are beautiful. Really truly stunning.
2. Your dreams belong to you, and only you. Today, grab them, they’re yours to be grabbed.
3. Your children, your friends and your relationships are to be honored and respected today. Treat them, and all the people you come in contact with, the way that you’d like to be treated.
4. Today, look at obstacles as opportunities, and nothing else.
5. In all aspects of life today, be at total peace.
