My 9 Favorite Moon Juice Supplements & How I Use Them

I want to start off by saying this post is not sponsored, and I am not a nutritionist; I’m simply sharing my experience using somethings that have worked extremely well for me. I’ve spent thousands of dollars over my lifetime trying various brands of vitamins, nutritional supplements, and protein powders, only to find that they make my stomach hurt, they taste horrible, or they don’t have any noticeable affect one me. Of course, everyone is different, but I have been using Moon Juice products on and off for years, and over the last six months I really got consistent with it, and I have noticed a tremendous difference that has improved my mood and energy levels significantly, and it feels wrong not to share something that has positively impacted my life so drastically, with you.

Luxury Spas, Mackinac Island ·

Luxury Spas of the World: Lakeside Spa & Salon

If you ask me, no visit to Mackinac Island is complete without visiting Lakeside Salon & Spa. The largest salon and spa on the island and in the area, this is one of the most iconic and popular destinations on Mackinac Island. I simply cannot say enough good things about the spa itself, the staff, the tranquil atmosphere of the spa, and the quality of the services they offer. If you’re looking for a way to treat yourself on the island, make your stay extra special, relax and unwind, celebrate a special occasion, or if you’re looking for a gift for a loved one, I absolutely recommend a spa day at Lakeside Salon & Spa.

Sailing the Straits of Mackinac at Sunset

When on Mackinac Island recently, we enjoyed the most gorgeous sunset sail around the Straits of Mackinac, and saw incredibly vibrant colors like oranges, yellows, pinks, and briefly purples. It had been raining almost all day, so we were a bit worried that the sunset wouldn’t be very visible, but our good luck held out and we were shown the most magnificent sunset I’ve seen all year, which allowed me to take some of my favorite sunset photographs to date! I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed making them and getting splashed by the choppy waves!

The Prettiest Swiss Dot Picnic Dress

I love wearing something simple, light, and airy, especially when it’s a hot, sunny day, so this lovely Swiss dot number was exactly what I was looking for, and checked all of my boxes when it comes to what I like to wear. This gorgeous, lined maxi is perfect for picnicking, a day at the market, brunch with friends, a walk along the beach, or dining al fresco with loved ones. Once again, Duffield Lane delivers a gorgeous, inspiringly comfortable and refreshing garment that I will be able to wear year after year.

Denim, Eyelet, and Seagrass for Summertime

We recently went to our local farmer’s market, and I threw together a feminine outfit that would protect me from the hot sun and high temperatures in just a few moments. If I can throw on an eyelet shift dress, denim jacket, white sandals, and woven accessories that quickly, so can you! It’s the easiest way to look chic and feminine without having to give it much thought, and it’s the perfect look if you’re running short on time when getting ready.

My Favorite Pieces From the LoveShackFancy Sale

LoveShackFancy is one of my go-to brands for fun, feminine, and airy dresses. I have been a longtime fan of the brand’s heavy use of eyelet, botanical motifs, scallops, ruffles, lace, and an easy to mix and match color palette. These are a few of my favorites from the sale, and a few of my favorite pieces to pair with them!
