Groomsmen Gifts | Master Your Blend

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Scandinavian Tobacco Group, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #masteryourblend  http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

Thinking about our wedding gets me really excited and is putting me in full on planning mode! Even though I haven't planned gifts for my bridesmaids yet, I have already started putting things together for Ryan's groomsmen. 

Prior to planning our wedding Ryan and I knew that cigars would be a huge part of our special day because it's something my Dad and brother in law really love, and a lot of our guests also enjoy it on special occasions. 

That's where Cubero Cigars come in. I love being creative when it comes to gift giving, so this is no different. I wanted to give the groomsmen something that they can all use and love, and I feel like wrapping it all together in a basket is perfect. I love the idea of using different ribbons to decorate, and I love these hand etched boxes for each groomsmen to use after the wedding is over. I love useful gifts, and these are gifts that they can enjoy at the wedding, and after!

Blend 35- Sweet: fine tobacco with rum, a hint of mint and sugar cane for a sweet finish 

Blend 07- Wine: naturally sweet tobacco with a distinct taste of grape and an oak-like nuance 

Blend 12- Mocha: medium bodied tobacco that provides a smooth taste with chocolate and coffee overtones

Reveal Your Best Self

Happy Friday everybody! I don't know where you guys are but today is GORGEOUS in New Jersey. I am currently getting ready to go to the beach for the first time this summer and I couldn't be more excited. What pops into your head when you think of the summer? One of the first things that comes to mind for me personally is how the weather transforms everyone's attitudes for the better. Everyone seems so much happier when the sun is out, and when you can actually wear what you want to wear without being covered in layers, am I right?

I have been looking forward to summer for what seems like forever, and now that it's finally here I am taking full advantage of my time. Last summer I was very self conscious and didn't even want to be seen in a bathing suit. This summer, I am revealing the new healthy me! For a whole year I worked very hard to become healthier, eat clean and more importantly work out. I went from never working out, to being in the gym 4-5 days a week. I feel so proud of how far I have come, and it makes me even more excited to enjoy my summer days.

I am also excited to be doing some traveling overseas in a few weeks, so this summer is definitely going to be one of my best yet. Part of revealing 'my best self' means using products that I really stand by and trust. I think confidence aligns with how we treat and present ourselves. That's where Nair Moroccan Argan Oil Rinseable Wax comes in. This wax is perfect for any unwanted hair, not to mention the Argan Oil and Orange Blossom leaves your skin feeling silky smooth (and smelling amazing!) No razor burn, no fuss, and it's extremely easy to use. Also, results last for up to 8 weeks!  I think that feeling comfortable and confident in your own skin is extremely important all year round, but most importantly in the summer and Nair is helping me feel more confident and comfortable in my suit this year.

This year has changed my life for the better, and I can't wait to see how much I continue to grow. How are you revealing your best self this summer?

Let's Talk Hair

I get asked a lot of questions about my hair and what products I use so I figured it'd be a good idea to do a post about some of the products that are my favorite. Bed head is definitely one of my favorite brands for shampoo/conditioners but also sprays and serums. I really like the scent of everything they have to offer and it leaves my hair feeling nice and renewed. As far as other products go, I usually put a serum in my hair right when I get out of the shower. My hair tends to dry up quickly so if I don't it stays dry on the ends which doesn't look good at all. I started using this Oscar Blandi daily silk serum which is great for ends and giving your hair that overall shine.

Something I also started using that I didn't before is a before spray for heat products. Any time you curl/blowdry/flat iron your hair you're causing it to dry out even more. It's important to protect the hair with a spray that keeps your hair moisturized and not dry. Not Your Mother's Beat The Heat spray is great because you can spray it on air dried hair, and it doesn't make your hair greasy or gross at all!

As far as hairsprays go, I love bed head "masterpiece" & chi "helmet head." These are the only two hairsprays that don't cause that funky chunky thing that most hairsprays too, the hold is enough to keep them in place but not make me look like I'm going to prom.

All of these products can be found at Marshall's which is great when you're on a budget. Hair products can be very costly so any way to limit my monthly hair bills is definitely a plus. I have been using most of these products for years so I stand by them in saying that they truly work, and provide the best results for me personally.

Do you guys have any go-to products? If so , what are some of your favorites ?
