Star Wars Gifts – Love Them They Will

wbir,

My plan was to do the Yoda thing at one point during my segment, but throwing the verbs at the back of the sentence messes with my MIND. So I figured it would be best to scratch it since it was live TV and all.

Wow, did I have some great stuff to talk about today. It was so fun doing this segment. Even though I’m not a Star Wars fanatic, all of this stuff looks fun. And I can’t say that I’ve had so many things go wrong with my display during a segment before, but it made for a good time ;)

Check out the video from my segment here.

As someone who isn’t big into drones or Star Wars, I still find this thing to be something I really want to play with. I’m sure the Star Wars/drone lover would freak out of their skin. Here’s a link to the Force Band I mention in the segment as well.

And some things I didn’t get to show is all the Star Wars items for kids! GAP kids has an amazing collection of things for the little ones to show off… (They also have some great Disney stuff for the little girls).

Go by and check it out! Right now through Christmas they’re running a sale where you get 50% off your purchase. FIFTY PERCENT!

Summer Beauty Swaps

Hey there!

I’m taking the rest of the week off, but I’ve scoured the blog for posts that will still help you look spiffy. I’m not sure I can still wear the dress I have on in this video, but it’s definitely one of my favorites (and don’t ask if that’s the only reason I went with this post).

Haha, oops. No, it’s super hot outside so these are helpful tips ;) Enjoy!

Now that it is consistently hotter than a cole miners arm pit outside, it’s a good time to summer-ize our beauty routine.

This time of year we need protection from the sun, tools to combat humidity, and products that will help us not feel like we want to melt into the concrete.

If you didn’t get a chance to watch yesterday’s segment, just press play!

Here is a list of all the products I talked about…

Aveeno body lotion with SPF: If you’re not already applying lotion everyday/every time you get out of the shower, you should be! Add this to your routine and you’ll not only get moisturized, but you’ll also get protection from the sun!

Pond’s BB Cream: One thing I forgot to mention on the show, is this only comes in two shades. I picked up the medium to go with my tan, and it seems to blend in well. It does come out a lot darker then what it ends up looking like on your face, so don’t get freaked out.

Maybelline Color Show in Pink Embrace: light pastel colors are great for your manicure if you don’t want to touch it up a lot. These lighter colors won’t show nicks and chips as badly.

Urban Decay Makeup Setting Spray: I don’t know why my face starts to feel gross by 3pm, but I do know how to fix it – this makeup setting spray does the trick every time. Spray it on your face after doing your makeup to keep it in place, then do what I do and use it as an afternoon refresher.

Sea Salt Spray by Organix: Get that soft beach-babe look in your hair without all the driving and that sand thing, with this great sea salt spray. It smells fantastic and will give your hair some texture to make it easier to put up.

Let’s Refresh Together

‘Ello!

I am Elizabeth Ogle, beauty and fashion blogger as well as Style Consultant for West Town Mall (if you know that already give an exasperated sigh while throwing your hands in the air).

This year so far has been a swirl of fun activities so now that I’m back to blogging regularly, I thought a great way to really start 2015 would be to reintroduce myself and my hidden agendas. I had a meeting about that with the other person I work with (my dog) and he agreed bones are delicious….which I took to mean, “Reintroducing yourself is the most professional thing to do at this juncture.”

I am so passionate about clothes and confidence and beauty products that four years ago I decided to pour all of that into a blog. Oh and I love to write, so consider that the homemade whip cream on top of it all. Yum.

In 2012 I was given the opportunity to be a guest on WBIR’s morning show over on FOX. Turns out I love being on TV and they loved having me, so for the past 2 1/2 years I’ve been a regular guest (my latest segment you can watch above). In 2013 I applied for “Style Setter” with Simon malls. A job that I got which meant I got to write about things from my local mall (West Town Mall – to be exact). Once that gig ended nationally in 2014, the people running West Town said they were having so much fun with me and I with them that they gave me a new title, “Style Consultant.”

That means I get to write some more and have mall merchandise at my disposal to talk about on TV!

I tell you all of that not to toot my own horn (ha, toot), but to instead show that I’m a professional blogger (ok maybe a small toot) (ha) and most importantly to testify to the fact that when you obey God and walk in the destiny He has planned for you, great things happen!!

God has put in me a strong desire to help women feel good about themselves and to dress in a way that presents them beautifully to the world. So if you want all of that, come back my and read some more! If you don’t want any of that, read other blogs ;) kidding. I do think it’s important to make it a habit of reading a blog(s). Not only because they’re FREE to read, but also because they help you stay fresh and in-the-know on what’s happening in the style/beauty world, from real/unbiased people.

So if you like what you’ve read so far, I hope you come back tomorrow and the next day and the day after that x infinity. :)

Prep Time

Happy post-holidays everybody!
These past few weeks have been a wonderful whirlwind of parties, family time and crashing on the couch.

This week I’m still in major catchup mode, so give me a minute to get everything back together and I’ll be back to a blogging routine in no time! Until then, enjoy my segment from last week where I talked about my favorite products from 2014 and click here to see where you can buy them all.

It’s going to be a wonderful year! (I just need a little more time to prep for it ;)
