The Perfect Spring Dress For Teens | All in Favor

April 14, 2025 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Shopping for dresses with our teenage daughter isn’t always easy. Styles can feel either too grown-up or too young, and finding something that feels just right can be tough. We found the perfect floral minidress at Nordstrom by All in Favor.

The Perfect Spring Dress For Teens

It’s a simple, floral cotton minidress with a soft swiss dot texture, and it ended up being a great option for the season.

The dress is fully lined, which is always a plus, and it has smocking in the back for a bit of stretch and comfort. The sleeves have a nice, feminine detail without being over the top, and the dress is fitted at the bodice and gently flares out—a flattering shape that still feels age-appropriate.

It’s light and comfortable, and it was perfect for a family baby shower.

If you’re in the same boat of trying to find something that feels stylish but not too grown-up, this one is definitely worth checking out.

Skwad Skincare Review | Skincare For Teens

September 23, 2024 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Hailey, our thirteen-year-old, is very interested interested in skincare. I knew she’d be the perfect person to help me review the Skwad Skincare for Teens. We both used four products for over a month and today I am going to share my thoughts.

Skwad Skincare Review Skincare For Teens

I received the Starter Skincare Set with a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and a shaving cream/mask combo product. I love the ease of this set, and I think it’s the perfect starting point for pre-teens and teens who are just learning about skincare.

SKWEEZ Gentle Exfoliating Face Wash 100ml

Containing a bio-friendly exfoliant, this face wash cleanser is gentle and effective while also visibly brightening and softening skin. The skin barrier is protected for it to stay moisturized.

SKWIRT Hydrating and Exfoliating Facial and Body Toning Spray 100 ml

A hydrating, exfoliating toning spray that helps clarify and refresh the appearance of skin. This innovative sap can be used as a toner or on its own. Mom may use this on the quiet because our ingredient combination can also help reduce fine lines and even skin tone. This is my FAVORITE of the four products.

SKWISH Hydrating Moisturiser 100 ml

An easy-to-use, fast-to-absorb, protective, and hydrating moisturizer packed with non-greasy nutritious oils for teen skin, combined with heavyweight antioxidants that feel as light as a soufflé. Gentle yet effective ingredients protect the skin, increase its barrier function, and improve hydration.

SKRAPE Nourishing Face Mask & Shaving Cream 100 ml

A revolutionary dual-function mask packed full of vitamin-rich ingredients. It can be used as a shaving cream or a face mask. Whichever way it is used, it hydrates and protects the skin.

SKWAD Toiletry Bag For Teenage Girls and Boys

The toiletry bag is made from recycled grey RPET canvas (one of the most sustainable, recyclable, and circular materials) and a recycled white waterproof polyester lining with an inside pocket.

Clean Fragrances | Rosy & Earnest Review

June 17, 2024 & Leave a Comment

I enjoy making everyday events special. When Rosy & Earnest reached out and offered to send me their new Gourmond collection fragrances, I jumped at the chance.

Rosy & Earnest Fragrance

I light a candle when we eat pizza on the couch and play background music when I cook, and while I live a very simple life, fragrance is an area where I believe in indulging. I have always adored the idea of my children having memories of my signature scent, so I purposefully selected a fragrance when they were small that I wear almost daily. I keep the fragrance I wore when my husband and I were first dating in my rotation, as well as the scent I wore on our wedding. I have fragrances that I’ve created scent memories with fragrance on vacations and have taught my daughter, who is 13, to do the same.

Rosy & Earnest Pistachio Delight

This one is my personal favorite. It is SO GOOD. Delicious. Irresistible. Decedant. Pistachio chip notes meet creamy vanilla, rich musk, and intense wood.

Rosy & Earnest Vanilla Royal Rum

Intoxicating. Addictive. Tempting. A swirl of amber rum mixed with suave vanilla and intense oak.

THE BEST WINTER COAT FOR $60! | Women’s Artic Parker – Universal Threads Target

January 13, 2020 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I think sometimes my most used products and my most functional items don’t get the love they deserve on here. A coat that I bought this season and is still available online needs to be brought to your attention because it’s the cost per wear has already gone below $1.

Women’s Artic Parker – Universal Threads Target

I was at Target with my mom in October, tried this on, and we both LOVED it, but because we already had a cart full of stuff I put it back. I couldn’t stop thinking about it and neither could my mom, so she went and found it at her local Target (she really is the best!). I love this jacket because of the long line (it fully covers my bum and I am 5’7) and it isn’t bulky but still keeps me warm on most midwest winter days. I do still reach for my North Face Parka when it’s below zero, but typical errands, outdoors for shorter periods of time when it’s 50-15 degrees Fahrenheit. The waist can be sinched in, which is nice, though I don’t find myself using that often. I LOVE the deep pockets, they’re functional to keep my hands warm, and easily hold a small wallet, keys, my phone, gloves, and whatever other random things my Little Loves hand me. The hood is removable and has a pretty faux fur trim and incredibly soft brown fuzzy lining in the hood. The coat has over 80 reviews, almost all of them 5 Stars and is also available in Gray, Black, and Olive. I would guess that over the past 90 days I have worn this jacket 75 of those days. It is so good!
