Thank you to everyone who sent in questions for this month’s edition! For those of you who haven’t participated yet, if there’s anything you’re having difficulty finding, a style question you need answered or any beauty/lifestyle related inquiry, you can email me directly and I’ll include it in my next post! Here are the topics for May:
1) I’m attending a wedding in Central America & am having a hard time finding a dress. It’s not a formal occasion, so I’m looking for a style that has a relaxed feminine feel & something that will work well in the heat & humidity.
I’ve rounded up some good maxi options below, but if you’re looking for something shorter or a different style, I recommend checking ASOS, Zappos, TJ Maxx or LuLu*s – they all have great options under $100 in a wide range of colors & silhouettes.

2) I remember you mentioning a while back about changing out your household cleaning products to safer options. I’d love to hear what you’re using now & what you’ve found that works best.
We almost exclusively use Norwex products now – mainly because we love them, but also because we have a family member who we buy them from. However, I recognize that this is a slightly expensive option, so I’ve included some more affordable store-bought products below:

3) I just took the plunge & decided to hire a personal trainer…but, after going for a couple of weeks, I quickly realized that my workout clothes need some serious updating. Can you recommend some affordable activewear that’s good for spring & summer?
I almost exclusively wear black & gray workout gear in the winter, but I like the idea of switching that up a bit for the warm weather with lighter colors & fun prints. I’m usually faithful to Old Navy’s activewear, but I’ve been trying out some new brands lately & have been really impressed with Ideology, Express & Forever 21 (shop sneakers here). Here are some of my favorites for the season:
