When I first heard about 32 Degrees clothes. I figured they were a cold weather company. However, that is not the case. 32 Degrees does have clothing to keep you warm, but they also carry a full line of “cool” clothing. This is clothing that keeps you cool when it’s hot outside. When I think about the clothing brand, what comes to mind is comfort and fit.

32 Degrees believes in providing the most technologically advanced fabrics to deliver all-day comfort at a valued price. Because of their dedication to the basics, the product line is timeless and a blank canvas for their customers for how they use them. They were one of the first companies to enter fully into the athleisure sphere before it became trendy, and launched their website in 2016 with a goal to offer all-day comfort at unbeatable prices.

The Mid-weight Rib Leggings are so comfortable I could live in them. I can move with ease and don’t feel anything pinching me. That’s because of the 4-way stretch of the polyester and spandex blend, the waist doesn’t roll or slide down, I don’t have tags tickling my back since there are. The moisture-wicking capabilities keep me cool during the hot weather and warm during the cooler temperatures. I love that I can wear them under my pants for extra warmth.

The Women’s Lightweight Baselayer Crew Top is the perfect complement to my leggings. It is made with a lightweight knit material that has a lot of stretch to it. The material has been brushed on both sides for a soft cozy feel. The Cool Fitted T-Shirt has moisture-wicking and anti-odor properties. This garment is delightfully soft and stretchy, you can slide a sweater or fleece pullover over the fabric and you do not feel constricted. It just adds additional warmth. I hope you see them in more colors in the Spring.

I also love the Heavyweight Fleece Baselayer Crew Top. The midweight fleece has a lot of stretch in it. Soft micro-fleece on the outside brushed for extra comfort on the inside. This is perfect for the colder temperatures. It is so soft and cozy, it provides just the right amount of warmth and stretch, it washes well and dries quickly. The weather is constantly changing here in Louisiana so it is great to be able to layer your clothes.

Finally, I really wanted to find the perfect jacket for the changing conditions, and the Ultra Light Packable Down Jacket is awesome. The shell and lining are lightweight woven with a buttery soft and smooth texture. Insulation fill is 100% Down. The best part it folds up into a neat pouch. I love that it protects you from the wind and has a hood. I love that it has a variety of colors.

I am pleased with my new activewear from 32 Degrees. They are perfect for working from home, the gym, running errands, and/or a day of housework.

In the future, the brand hopes to open a retail store. They are looking into sustainability and vegan options for their jackets with new recycled poly-filled and they are hoping to have it back next year. If you love their winter line, then you will be happy to know that they are expecting big things from their Spring line, so stay tuned.

Holiday Gift Guide-Home Décor-Levtex Home

Christmas will be here before you know it! I love to decorate all areas of my home, including my bedroom! I love to see the twinkle at night as I lay in bed and curl up to a good movie or read a book. Today I would like to share how I decorated my bedroom this year.

Last year, I did my bedroom entirely in red and white, which is always a favorite for the holidays, and it was a huge departure for me. This year, I have decided to keep the hues a bit softer and play up that color with a hint of silver. With my beautiful new bedding, along with some holiday greenery, my bedroom is guest-ready for the holiday season.

This year, I wanted to try a new brand, and thanks to Levtex Home, I got the most gorgeous new bedding.

Levtex partners with experts in the field in each category of product it offers. From quilts to comforters and duvets, to decorative pillows we make sure that we are always partnered with sources that are proven experts in the field. The difference is in the details. Levtex Home is a family-owned business that has been around since 2009. The brother and sister founders of the company grew up in a world filled with textiles – their father was in a similar business in their native South Africa. They laugh about the memories of people coming over to dinner and reaching out to feel the fabric in the napkins, or sneak over to get a closer look at the drapes, or ask to take a small cutting from the hidden hem of a dress.

Having built a successful business in the infant bedding space which they sold in 2004, the two noticed a hole in the market for high quality, good value quilts that merged a great design sensibility with affordability and accessibility. Massive design enthusiasts and consumers of home goods product, they tapped into their well-established sources and began to work on value-driven top of bed solutions that had their foundation in good quality and high design. And so Levtex Home emerged.

Over the ten-plus years, the company has been in business, it has built a loyal community of customers who come to Levtex for their design sensibility, sourcing expertise, practical commitment to value for the consumer, and speed to market.

I love adding festive sheets during the holidays. This year, however, I wanted to have simple sheets to go with my luxury bedding. I choose silver to go with the blush bedding set.

I just love the crisp, tailored feeling it brings to our bedroom. The soft blush adds compliments to my wall color and the curtains that I choose.

This bedding is so soft and luxurious, at first I was wondering if it would keep me warm enough, but it has done the job perfectly. I added the shams and it looks timeless.

I wanted to add a touch of sophistication to my bedroom and the Mills Waffle Collection did it. It has made my bedroom so much more calming. I also added a few throw pillows to finish off the look.

If you have pictures of what you did this holiday to your bedroom, please send them.

The holiday season is here and we’re ready to continue supporting minority-owned businesses and I found one that has some of the best nightwear. There is nothing I love more than sleepwear.

Right now, most everyone is hunkered down at their home and not going out. As much fun as it is to only wear the same thing over and over again, it also gets tiring and boring. Who wants to wear jeans while your kids get homeschooled? I have been searching the Internet for the best loungewear and I found a new one.

Are you looking to relax and recharge? Created to provide comfortable loungewear in intricate designs, Rhea Cherie promotes focusing on self-care in style. With trendy lounge sets and silky nightgowns, you’ll get a real taste for pampering yourself in her products.

I do not usually like nightshirts, but this one was comfortable and I loved that it had long sleeves. The weather in Louisiana is constantly changing, one day cold the next day hot. I now believe I have found the perfect piece to keep me comfortable. It is perfect for lounging around. I can easily pair it with pants and slippers and be warm. It is made with breathability in mind so it works in warmer weather.
