Monday Musings
This week feels like the time to reset. The dog days of summer are almost behind us. As we look toward the changing of the seasons, let us all embrace self-care. Calendars will soon be full, to-do lists long, and the days short. So let's put our oxygen masks on first, for only through caring for ourselves can we care for others. Whatever your definition of self-care may be, we know you will find inspiration in the pages of Alexandria Stylebook.
Adrien: For me, our family's August vacation has become my time for a hard reset. By focusing on ME, my wellness, and my loved ones, I am able to recharge and set the stage to be fully energized and productive during the upcoming busy and exciting fall season. It wasn't always this way - I used to spend our family vacation trying to sneak in as much work as possible. Yet I've learned that taking this time to immerse myself in foundational wellness - sleep, walks, breathing, and connecting with loved ones - helps me focus more effectively when I return. And the best part is being fully present with family and hugging each moment of connection with them close to my heart. Escape the busyness of work and daily life - find YOUR time to reset and recharge.
Celthia: Is fear of having a negative reaction keeping you from exfoliating? Let's fix that! Gentle daily exfoliation is beneficial for all skin types, including sensitive skin! It enhances cell turnover and increases the penetration of other skincare products. Daily Milkfoliant is great for sensitive skin because of its harmonious blend of coconut milk and oat, which soothes while polishing away dulling surface debris (Available at Bellacara, $64)
Elizabeth: If you are looking for the perfect buy now wear now pieces for your wardrobe, APIECE APART fall one delivery just hit our store, and it is all exactly what we need this month. Really you can wear these pieces all year. So if you are looking for a little retail pick-me-up or need a new blouse, we have them for you. We also just restocked everyone's favorite, the Merida pant in cream. If you know this brand, then you know this pant. We can't seem to keep it in stock. (Available at The Hive, $245-$295)
Britt: Lately, quality time with family has been the ultimate inspiration. As my family grows, I love that most of my family is right here in town and easy to see after work and throughout the week. A family favorite? Hanks Oyster Bar -- we love their new location in Old Town North with a rooftop bar & deck!
Amy: The Tepra Lite is the Bluetooth-enabled label printer you didn't know you needed. When I tell you our team has been playing with it every day since it arrived, I'm not exaggerating. Testing its capabilities is entirely too much fun. Using a smartphone app, the printer is capable of making a variety of prints. With support for multiple fonts, languages, special characters, emojis, and unique border designs, it is easy to personalize your labels, and the possibilities are seemingly endless. Stop in to see it in action, or order yours now before our team scoops them all up! (Available at Penny Post, $90)
