Thrift Playlist: How the right music can help you shop
I remember one of the first times I went thrift shopping when I moved to NYC. It was a disaster! Though some would consider me a thrift shopping pro today {Nate Berkus even called me a sorceress at thrifting!}, it hasn't always been that way. Yeas ago I was totally overwhelmed by the NYC thrifting scene and I walked out of a massive warehouse of secondhand clothes after 10 minutes.

Fresh and Fabulous for Spring

I've been using Caress® since way back in the day when they were just in the oval-ish bar of soap. My grandma used the line exclusively and I remember loving the soap because it was pink! I couldn't wait to sleep over her house and take a bath with the super girly soap.

Fast forward years {many years!} later and Caress® has become way more than the pink soap, and one line in particular, the Emerald Rush™ Fresh Body Collection is perfect for the warmer months.
