How to Stich Fix

Pin to Pinterest

These days women are busier than ever and finding time to go shopping for clothes is not always high on the priority list. Stitch Fix is a company that addresses that need quite well. The whole idea behind Stitch Fix is to provide women with stylish clothes that fit without ever having to leave your home. Basically after filling out a simple profile and schedule, a stylist hand picks 5 items each month jsut for you! I personally am a huge fan of TJMaxx, Marshalls, Botique Stores and Daily Deal sites and I would say Stich Fix covers all of these fashion cravings.

The process is rather simple and it only takes a short time to sign up and get started.

How To Stitch Fix:

Step One – The first thing you will want to do is sign up for a Stitch Fix account. When you do, you will quickly see that the website is quite professional and thorough. The website is clean and very easy to navigate and understand.

Step Two – This is where you let Stitch Fix stylists know what you like, your sizes and other such details. This needs to be extremely specific and the more information you give, the better your initial results will be. Learning someone’s style is a process, however, so understand that it will take shape over time. Stitch Fix even lets you share Pinterest boards of the styles you like to give them a direct idea of your style. Again, be as detailed as you can be. I highly suggest the Pinterest Board. Make your own fashion board, and in your social media URL shares, share this pinterest board. You can pin items from the Stich Fix Pinterest Boards. This allows your personal shopper to get to know you.

Step Three – You pay a stylist’s fee of 20 bucks each shipment. Best of all this $20 gets applied to your purchase if you keep any of the clothes. This is reasonable given the work that goes into finding your clothes and so on and over time you will save that much in gas, energy and time shopping and over all dressing room frustration. When you do fill out the questionaire on step 2, let them know your spending habits – you spend a lot or a little on clothing.

Step Four – Now that you have done your part, you simply wait on a box to arrive in the mail. The stylists will take your information provided and pick out clothes that they think you will like. When you get the box, you go through the clothes and try them on. If they work for you and you like them, you keep them. If you don’t like them you return them along with feedback about what you liked or did not like so that the stylists will do better the next time around. They even provide a postage paid envelope to return them so you won’t have to pay for that.

The idea behind Stitch Fix is quite interesting and the consensus is very positive. One thing to remember is that only ordering once and then giving up if the style is wrong kind of defeats the purpose. You need to allow the stylists time to see what you like and don’t like. Since they pay the postage, this is not that big of a deal. Over time, they get to know your style and can find you clothes you will love.

Shopping with a personal stylist has never been so economical or easy! Give them a try and you just might love it too!

Best Run Disney Weekends with Friends

Pin to Pinterest

Disney World is a destination for all, and it makes the perfect destination for friends that enjoy an active vacation spent together. The runDisney program makes it easy to participate in a marathon, half marathon or 5K event through the happiest place on Earth with your favorite people. Before and after the run you are able to put together a grown up weekend away with friends right in the parks and each event comes with the chance for an exclusive party filled with perks.

While all of the runDisney events are excellent fun, these are some of the best to participate in when you have a group of friends along for the fun.

Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend

This weekend is all about getting together with your best friends and packing as much fun as possible into a single weekend. This event is all about dressing up as your favorite Disney Princess, think tutus and tiaras, and running for a cause. If a half marathon isn’t possible for some of the members of your group, there are shorter, less intense, races they can participate in too so no one is left out of the fun. Cap off your weekend with special entertainment brought in just for the race, character events and photo opps for the entire group and one of the best after party celebrations you’ve ever been too held in Downtown Disney. This event is all about having fun and finding your inner princess and creating some magical memories with your girlfriends!

Expedition Everest Challenge

No one needs s Sherpa wiht this Everest Challenge. For the super competitive group of friends that dream about competing in events like, The Amazing Race, the Expedition Everest Challenge was made for you. Held at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park, this event is part run part obstacle course, making it a great choice for anyone that enjoys competing as part of a team. The run is 5K, making it possible for all levels of runner to participate, only the race course is interspersed with challenged obstacles you need to overcome before moving on. Because of the obstacles, this challenge is most fun when done with friends, there to help you get through each portion, but also to motivate and compete amongst yourselves. Compete with others, compete with yourself, compete with your group – proveonce and for all which of you is really the best.

Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend

Did someone say Wine? Everyone knows that the best way to enjoy a bottle of wine is with friends, making the Wine & Dine Festival a friend friendly way to spend a few days. Now you can wound off a weekend spent indulging in some of the best food and wine from around the world with a half marathon. Get your best friends together for this exciting event and the promise of even more great food and wine at the finish line. Runners get to make their way through three parks, mingle with some of the best chefs in the world and dance the night away to more of the popular bands and groups that are brought it for the festival. This event is all about having a great time with friends no matter how fast you run, and then eating and sipping wine to celebrate.

Essential Oils for The Office

Essential Oils for The Office

Pin to Pinterest

A day at the office isn’t always the best experience, and some days are just more than we are meant to cope with. Essential Oils are a great way to reduce stress, promote a calm and collected demeanor and boost our moods. When it comes to the office though, especially open offices, the fragrances and scents we use can be offensive, too strong or overpowering for some individuals. Choosing the right essential oil to help us make it through the workday is all about finding the right low profile scent for us and using it in a way that is unobtrusive to others.

Use this guide to help you find an essential oil that you can use on a daily basis at the office.

Thyme Essential Oil

Thyme has one of the lightest scent of all the floral essential oils that you can use, but it is noticeable if you are using it in close quarters. This essential oil is able to act as a stimulant and boost your circulation, so on those work days that you are feeling sluggish or just want the day to be over, this is the option for you. One of the most underrated essential oils, thyme has also been shown to improve memory when used, increasing concentration levels when you need to concentrate the most.

Bergamot Essential Oil

Bergamot essential oil is the best options for those that like the mood boosting effects of citrus, but need something that is not as crisp or overwhelming. A lot of essential oil users would choose lemon or grapefruit in their homes, but at the office it can come off as overpowering or smell of cleaners. Instead, bergamot is softer, sweeter and easily distilled to a pleasant level of fragrance.

Jasmine Essential Oil

For those of you that enjoy floral scents, but know that lavender is too strong for the office, jasmine is a great alternative. This stimulant is the perfect daily aid to get through long days spent indoors. Like lavender it can also soothe and calm your nerves, with very little needed to feel its positive effects. Add this to a personal diffuser or just apply directly to the neck, arms or near the nose.

Chamomile Essential Oil

While chamomile essential oil can sometimes be used to promote sleep, which is exactly what you don’t want at the office, it is also great for reducing the level of stress that you are experiencing. Chamomile won’t work to make you fall asleep, but it does help calm your nerves so that you can get on with whatever it was you were doing without anxiety overwhelming you.  Additionally, chamomile has been used as a traditional medicine for thousands of years to calm anxiety and settle stomachs.
