#VacayEveryDay with Palm Breeze



My mom's birthday's comin' up, and my dad and I normally take her out for a fancy dinner.  Now, we're still probably gonna do that because she's a foodie, but we thought it'd be fun to have a BBQ in her honor with all her fave foods: filet, ribs, chicken, the works.  I wanted her to really relax and enjoy the evening so I picked up a case of Palm Breeze to help channel her inner zen.
Palm Breeze sparkling alcohol spritz comes in two tropical flavors:  ruby red citrus and pineapple mandarin orange. I didn't have a chance to sample the ruby red, but dang, the pineapple mandarin is freakin' DELISH!  It's like a magical soda for adults, ha.  For those of you unfamiliar with the product, Palm Breeze is a flavored malt beverage, which basically means it's an alcoholic drink made with a malt base, kind of like beer.  BTW, if you're wondering where you can find this product, clicky HERE.  They have a handy dandy store locator tab on their site, but I also recommend calling ahead.  You don't wanna get there and leave empty-handed!  That'd be such a bummer.
Anywho, if you're lookin' for something a lil' bit stronger, no worries, just add some (or a lot of) vodka, ha.  You'll have yourself a delish, girly cocktail.  This drink is perfect for all occasions.  I personally like to relax outside and listen to Bob Marley while sippin' PB - I'm all about creating my own tropical space.  If you like soakin' in the sun, you'll dig this drink... but then again, you'll probably dig this drink regardless because it's absolutely scrumptious.  Either way, make sure to try this drank - I can ALMOST guarantee that you'll love this.  Oh, and make sure you enjoy it out of a pretty cup with lots of ice.  Presentation is important for classy gals like us after all.

Celeb Style For Less: Jourdan Dunn

Jourdan Dunn is best known for being a gorgeous supermodel, but her outfits off the runway are just as stunning as the couture she wears on the runway. This look shows her amazing style; it's super simple with all the black, yet the bright pink sweater keeps it interesting! Check out how you can get this simple, yet bold outfit for less:

Top: Romwe || Skirt: Sheinside || Shoes: GoJane || Bag: Last Call

Unlike the last Celeb Style For Less, this outfit has very few pieces.  In general, Jourdan likes to play down her ensembles, and she doesn't wear jewelry often. Her hot pink sweater is definitely the focus of today's featured ensemble - Romwe has a perfect replication of it for $22.  Jourdan's wearing an adorable, high-waisted, leather skirt. Similar pieces are sold everywhere, but SheInside has a fab version for only $14. For a leather, bodycon skirt, that price can't be beat!  I'm normally not a fan of booties sans pants, but Jourdan's changing my mind with this look. Her ankle boots help showcase her long, gorgeous legs. GoJane sells an identical pair for the low price of $30, which is a total steal for shoes.

Finally, Jourdan's bag completes her ensemble. No look is complete without a gorgeous bag to finish off the outfit. Any black shoulder bag will do, but Last Call carries a fab bag that's very similar. It's currently on sale for $27.50 - it was originally $80, so make sure you guys purchase it while you can!

What do you guys think of Jourdan's outfit? Would you rock any of these pieces? Also, let us know who you want to see on the next Celeb Style For Less!

My FAVORITE Hair Irons

Alright everyone, I'm SUPER excited to tell you guys all about Lionesse today on Sensible Stylista.  As y'all know, I love rocking straight AND curly hair - depends on my mood *grins*  If I'm feelin' sexy, I grab my straight iron.  If I wanna look glam, I'm all about waves!  I SWEAR by Lionesse, like, I'm not messin' around.  Their hair tools are so ridiculously amazing!  I can't even deal, ha.  I'll be tellin' ya'll about their 2" tourmaline straightener and their 4-piece curling set.
Let's start with the latter.  At a whopping $400, you're dropping a ton of moolah, BUT don't skimp on hair tools.  Buying cheap products will damage your hair - trust me, and go for quality.  Plus, shatty tools will break in a hot minute.  As you can see, this set comes with four different barrels:  18-25mm, 32/32mm, 25/25mm, and 19/19mm, and they heat up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.  The clip-less irons will give you smooth, natural curls!  This baby also comes with a glove so you don't burn yourself while styling your hair.
A closer look at the curling wand...
Moving onto my 2" tourmaline straightening iron.  This tool is effin' MAGIC.  It heats up in 30 seconds and works like a dream.  SERIOUSLY!  I had a Chi before, and dang, it took me a good 20 minutes to do my hair.  Now it takes me, no joke or exaggeration forizzle, 5 minutes TOPS!  This incredible iron hearts up to 480 degrees Fahrenheit!  I actually use max heat, but you can adjust it to your liking.  FYI: tourmaline plates balance hair and reduce static by increasing negative ions - hashtag WIN.
 A close up shot of my babies! 
Before I say bye-bye, I want to make sure you guys PROTECT your hair by using heat protective creams or sprays!  I like this leave-in cream because it leaves my mane shiny and smooth.  No one likes greasy product in their hair - I sure as hell don't want to look like I haven't showered in days, ha.  As I'm sure you can tell, I've had mad problems with products in the past!  I vouch for this though - clicky here to purchase one yourself.
Conclusion: BUY THESE AMAZING TOOLS.  Yes, I needed all caps for that because that's how serious I am.  I swear to god, these products freakin' changed my life.  I guarantee satisfaction.  That's how freakin' confident I am that you'll love these items.  

You're welcome in advance.
