Jade Roller

Since I’ve hit my 30s, the list of preventive anti-aging skincare products I use is longer than your fake lashes. If you told me rubbing breastmilk on my face would make me look 10 years younger I would try it! Let’s be real; I’m a sucker for anything that promises to give my skin a youthful, healthy glow. It’s the reason I’ve officially added jade rolling to the list of long of shit I do in my nightly beauty routine. This crystal-infused paint roller, which looks like an ancient stone, promises several benefits to help maintain a more radiant complexion; smoothing fine lines, boosting circulation, de-puffing and dark circle reducer. So of course I had to get rolling and wrinkle fighting because aging is fine for wine, but not my face. And honestly, I had zero expectations this at-home gadget would rejuvenate my skin, or keep me looking smooth and sculpted, but it’s a cheaper alternative to botox. Turns out, jade rollers are pretty legit. Rolling stones on my face did in fact improve my skin. I found the fountain of youth in jade. I wouldn’t say it’s a cure all product, but I noticed my skin looks brighter and more vibrant, and products are absorbing better than usual. Elevate your skincare routine and give it a go. A quick Amazon search yields a slew of options with all different price points. I’ve linked the inexpensive option I use that will do the trick. https://rstyle.me/+w-LYaRvNFPT9zr9JNADgLA

Cleveland Cookie Dough Company

The smell of baking fills the kitchen. Nothing beats the aroma of vanilla, sugar, and butter; fresh baked cookies straight from the oven. The scent of chocolatey goodness hits your nose and you’re instantly transported back to your childhood days; coming home to grandmother’s house. I remember the days we spent making chocolate chip cookies together. I don’t know about you, but as a child I was always yelled at for eating the extra raw cookie dough after making a batch of cookies, because it’s “bad for you.”

Have you ever tried to bake cookies with grandma, but they never make it to the oven? Yeah! Then this place is definitely for you! The Cleveland Cookie Dough Company is deeeeelicious! Or as they say “Doughlicious”! Serving no-bake cookie dough you can eat by the spoonful without getting yelled at. Offering a variety of homemade memories with flavors like chocolate chip, brownie batter, reese peanut butter, and my favorite; a creamy, classic birthday cake sprinkle edible cookie dough you can safely eat.

Everything you love about birthday cake in cookie form without the boxed mix—soft and chewy funfetti cake flavor, sprinkles, whipped frosting, and more sprinkles; the ultimate crowd-pleaser. There’s nothing like grabbing a jar of edible cookie dough batter stuffed with sprinkles. So much better tasting than a birthday cake in my opinion! It is quite possibly my favorite flavor EVER! On the menu, you’ll find specialties like campfire s’mores, cinnamon bun, and red velvet. If you want to experience all the mouth watering flavors they have to offer, browse their full menu and calendar on https://www.clecookiedough.com or head over to https://www.instagram.com/clecookiedough/ to find the truck near you since they are a mobile service.

Fashion

You can’t manufacture personal style

You can’t manufacture personal style

We’re all familiar with the fashion rules society outlines for us:

1.Legs or cleavage—never both

2. Navy is the new black

3. When it comes to jewelry, less is more

4. Don’t mix prints

5. Sneakers should never leave the gym

6. No white after Labor Day

7. Don’t mix gold and silver

8. Belt must match the shoes

9. Head to toe denim is a no-no

10. Your bra should never be exposed.  

Just stop. Please. Don’t fall victim to the trends by altering your look from season to season just because the societal manual suggested it.  Style doesn’t – well, SHOULD not – come with instructions. Time to tear the pages out and shred that handbook!  Rules are meant to be broken, so create a look you can call your own, and showcase your wardrobe by documenting every outfit in your own personal style-guide.  

Let YOUR clothes do the talking! The way you dress speaks volumes on your individuality, so stop following the pack! You’re not a product someone else designed, stuck a label on, and hung on a rack for sale! Forget the rules and create a signature look; if you like it, wear it— stand out, and make a bold style statement. The art of fashion is ever-evolving— a constant search for popular trends that fade each season and the latest fads making an appearance for a brief second.  It’s style that has no expiration date.  Fashion is everywhere: style is what you do with it! Fashion belongs to everyone, styles belongs to you.

When I say “pizza” to you, I know what you’re thinking; Chicago, New York, the pizza capitals of the world. I bet Ohio doesn’t cross your mind. Well, it should according to me.
