Must Have: Exuviance Overnight Recovery Masque

Must Have: Exuviance Overnight Recovery Masque

Overnight masks are genius, because they take little to no effort.  When I first received this Overnight Recovery Mask from Exuviance, I placed it in my "must try" basket in my bathroom along with about eight other face masks.  (They're my favorite products to test!) Now, I use it once to twice per week and wake up with simply refreshed skin.

I already know that you guys love this line – Yes to.  I've been watching the brand, (which started with Yes to Carrots), evolve throughout my decade long career in the beauty industry and am constantly impressed with their new collections.  Always priding themselves on effective, good-for-you skincare at bargain prices, Yes to is perhaps my favorite drugstore beauty brand of all time.  Their latest launch arrived just in time for winter.

Must Have: IntelliRoll

Must Have: IntelliRoll

If you've been following my blog or Instagram for a while now, then you know I'm obsessed with working out (in a good way).  While I'm most loyal to Bar Method classes and practicing yoga, I'm always up for a FlyWheel or SLT class.  Lately, I've been attempting (key word) to run and it's left me incredibly sore – everywhere.  When the IntelliRoll ended up on my doorstep, I knew I had a new best friend.
