Banana Republic‘s spring campaign focuses on life with a purpose and highlights the real voices and personalities of modern boundary breakers. Spring also introduces new styles and colors to Banana Republic’s True Hue’s capsule.

All of my clothes have a feeling associated with them. Each piece has a hidden symbol and/or memory buried within each one. Whether it’s a good or bad idea, uplifting or I-never-want-to-see-that-shirt-again feel, clothes mean something – whether we are conscious of it or not. And this is where the “out with the old, in with the new” principle comes into play.

Banana Republic offers classic, comfortable, attainable, versatile, contemporary. These crisp basics and staples that I have found myself searching for all surfaced when scavenging the pages and/or isles of Banana Republic. Now, I know a lot of you are 9-5 girls and are continuously on the hunt for those business casual staple pieces that you can wear to work, but also look absolutely darling when headed out to Happy Hour after hours. Many of you are looking for effortlessly chic pieces that you can also throw on for weekend wear. This ECOVERO™ Maxi Shirt Dress . This dress is so easy to wear. It may be dressed up or down. I love the lightweight fabric. It fits like a dream. It feels soft and flows incredibly. This Classic-Fit Linen-Cotton Blazer embodies that crisp and effortless feel that will provide lots of chic wear.

I’m very much so obsessing over this classic sweater for spring and summer wear. The cut is feminine but absolutely professional, sophisticated, yet also trendy. Pair it with black pants and you are set to go if you want a change just add a skirt while hitting the town, and your versatile arsenal will begin!

While many of us are now home every single day, do you realize that your skin can be affected by this Covid-19 quarantine? Have you found time to keep up with your daily routine? Have you been taking time for self-care? We need to continue to focus on taking care of ourselves and I have a few beauty products that I have been incorporating into my routine.

Neutrogena Bright Boost

This line helps to fight dull skin. While being inside our skin may be experiencing dullness and this line brings your new options for bright and radiant skin. A majority of women believe that healthy skin is glowing skin and are looking for this in their skincare products. We want to boost our skin’s natural renewal process while not having to do any extra work. We have enough going on in our lives.

The new Bright Boost collection is made up of four key products including: A Resurfacing Micro Polish, an Illuminating Serum, a Gel Cream, and a Facial Moisturizer with Broad Spectrum SPF 30. The Neutrogena Bright Boost daily regimen can reveal brighter, wide-awake skin in just one week. Three of the products are powered by Neoglucosamine technology, a gentle, non-amino sugar exfoliate. It helps to boost surface cell turnover, which slows over time and works in harmony with other powerful skin-brightening ingredients. It also results in few lines over time. I love how the line is easy to incorporate into my routine.

Neutrogena Body Oil

I was already a fan of Neutrogena bath products, so I was excited to try the Neutrogena Body Oil. This stuff is amazing. My skin has been suffering from the up and down weather that we are having in the south. It has been so drying, now I use this product. It soaks into my skin without feeling greasy and offers great moisturizer. The light fragrance is lovely alone.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Overnight Gel Mask

This mask from Neutrogena has really been rescuing my face lately. My skin gets so incredibly dry and dehydrated from being inside. I always end up with dry, sometimes even flaky areas on my cheeks, forehead, and nose. This mask has pretty much gotten rid of that, but I have to use it on a regular basis to keep those dry areas away, and I always try to use it on the days I want to wear makeup.

This mask also contains Vitamin B3, which brightens your complexion and soothes the skin. It also contains Seaweed extract, which is soothing and will help to reduce any redness. There are ingredients in it that are good for oily skin too, with kaolin and bentonite clays detoxifying your skin, remove impurities, and helping to control excess oil. Because this mask has such a wide range of ingredients and covers so many skin issues, I feel like this would be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

The Hydro Boost Hydrating Overnight Gel Mask is a gel formula and is the perfect consistency. It’s quite thick until you begin applying it and it warms up on the skin. One of these pods gives me 3 to 4 applications and that’s not even using it sparingly! To keep it fresh and prevent it from drying out after you’ve opened it, just pop it in a ziplock bag, squeeze the excess air out and you’ll be ready to use it a few more times. I am loving the boost my face gets.

Neutrogena Bright Boost Resurfacing Micro Polish

This gentle exfoliator exfoliates the skin and removes skin aging dullness with 3x the polishing power of a normal scrub, leaving skin smooth and bright. This will give your face a fresh look. It is formulated with naturally-derived skin smoothers and Glycolic and Mandelic Acid. You can use it one to three times a week. It is very gentle.

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream

This rich moisturizing cream quickly delivers younger-looking skin, smooths fine lines, and instantly plumps with moisture replenishes. I use this every night after I cleanse my face, when I wake up in the morning my pores are almost invisible and my skin looks and feels tighter and smoother so I can tell it really works!

Clean & Clear Night Relaxing Jelly Eye Sheet Mask

Clean and Clear Night Relaxing Jelly Eye Sheet Mask, is a new jelly mask that hydrates eyes and targets fatigue around eyes to give you the look of a well-rested individual. I really need these because I always look tired and never getting enough sleep, so I was excited to try these out.

This mask allows moisture to bind to your skin. The mask covers the top of your face from your forehead to your eye area. Many masks sometimes slip off the face, not this one, it stayed in place. I really enjoyed the experience with the mask and it did help hydrate my eyes. I really recommend this product.

I hope you are keeping your skin healthy during these times.

Arcade Gaming for the Whole Family Projex

I have to admit that this game really interested me. I was wondering how well it would keep the family’s attention. I was really intrigued by Projex’s interactive fun.

The first thing you need to do is find a blank wall, then switch off the lights and get ready for some fun. The ProjeX™ Projecting Game Arcade is simple to use. You can turn any room in your home into an arcade. We are lucky that in the house, we have a white wall that was perfect for the game.

The best part of this game is that in only requires 3 AA batteries, so you have no plugs to deal with. It is a great game that you can take with you on trips. As long as you can find a white wall you can play the game.

The Projex game comes with two blasters that can be plugged into either port. Make sure that they are inserted all the way in so that the game recognizes that it’s connected. If you want to use it one player mode, take the second blaster out before powering on the game or you’ll hear a buzzer sound and may need to reset the game by taking the batteries out and putting them back in.

ProjeX allows you test your speed and skill as you blast moving targets that it projects right onto your wall. They are three interchangeable image slides are each a different level of difficulty and project targets.

The family enjoyed playing with Projex, it was a great way to spend time together while we are indoors. I love that it can be taken with you.

I would definitely recommend this for families who have gamers in the household. They will have hours of fun.
