You probably know this, but it bears repeating. Our Stylebook contributors work really hard to bring you meaningful lifestyle content each week. We plan, we talk, toss ideas around, and collaborate. And this is on top of running a small business (or three). It's impressive. But that's how important this platform is to every member of our team. This week has been one of those hard-fought weeks. There has been a lot of back and forth, updates, and changes. But looking ahead at the week of content we put together for you, it paid off. We have a week of strong, fun, and new content! So, enjoy it, because we do!

Elizabeth: We really don't carry "gowns." I think it is a hard thing to have enough of if someone is looking for that amazing dress to wear to an event. Even when I see some in a collection I love, I typically pass. Well, I couldn't with these two Ulla Johnson dresses. They were just too beautiful to not order. I couldn't resist. So I hope there is someone out there who needs a fabulous dress for this summer. Because these two are show stoppers. (Available at The Hive, Anya Gown in Jasmine or Noir, $1095)

Amy: As Blackwing superfans, we are so excited about this new Blackwing set. Included are four Blackwing pencils (soft, balanced, firm, and extra-firm graphite), a sharpener, and a pack of replacement erasers to ensure your pencil is always functional. This set would make a wonderful gift and is the perfect way to introduce someone to Blackwing! (Available at Penny Post, $44)

Adrien: Don't believe you have to be tied down to an elaborate gym setup to get the fitness results you're looking for! Small habits and simple tools can be the key to improving your wellness.

The dowel - or broomstick - is one of many simple tools you can use to improve posture and counter the impact of long days sitting at a computer. Just a few minutes per day leads to relaxed neck and shoulder tension, improved posture, and well-deserved pauses during your hectic daily grind.

Members of our Concierge Small Group Program receive a custom-made Alexandria Wellness dowel and dive deep into learning how small habits and simple tools will put them in control of their wellness.

Celthia: Although dry shampoo is a must for greasy roots, extending dry shampoo to the ends of hair could stiffen hair and cause it to lose some of its bounce. That's why I love Oribe Cote d'Azur Hair Refresher, it’s a lightweight mist featuring Oribe's intoxicating signature fragrance that neutralizes odor and cuts down on the static. This refresher spray leaves my hair feeling soft and smelling heavenly. I keep it handy for post-gym errands. (Available at Bellacara, $26)

Britt: Held on June 2 at the George Washington Masonic Temple, The Patterson Group had the opportunity to sponsor and attend an amazing event for The Campagna Center's educational programs that serve our community from cradle to career. My sister, Paige, was a co-chair of the event, and we are thrilled to announce that we raised $197,000!
