When the seasons change, my skin tends to freak out. It gets dry, agitated, and dull like clockwork– right around the 1st of November. I have to choose my skin care products carefully, too, since all the aforementioned drabness is coupled with sensitivity. I’ve been a long time fan of the St. Ives brand, but the new St. Ives Refresh & Revive Pear Nectar & Soy lotion and body wash have been a God sent throughout this change in weather.

St. Ives Refresh & Revive Pear Nectar & Soy Body Lotion is formulated to rejuvenate skin, made with 100% natural moisturizers, including pear extract and soy, which makes it the perfect match for any girl with unapologetically sensitive skin like mine. Aside from being paraben-free and all that good stuff, the pear scent will literally invigorate your senses with its deliciousness. For reference, I haven’t stopped craving fresh pears since I’ve starting using the Revitalizing Pear & Soy products, so… you should realistically be prepared for similar cravings.

The nutrient-rich proteins in St. Ives Refresh & Revive Pear Nectar & Soy lotion and body wash leave my skin feeling soft and fresh and smelling of pears, which is exactly what I need to make me feel confident and de-dullified during the fall-winter seasons. I can tell my skin’s natural radiance has been boosted, which makes me want to wear nothing but fun colors, like this cozy hot pink scarf, even in the midst of gloomy weather. This line is brand new, but you can now find it at mass merchandise, grocery, and drug stores nationwide for under $5 per product.

And in keeping with the spirit of living radiantly, I’ve been asked a few times if there is any symbolism behind my new green necklace, which conspicuously stands out in pretty much every outfit I wear– and yes, there is! Green is the official color of Mental Health Awareness Month, and since I’ve got quite a few projects in the works for promoting the achievability of eating disorder recovery, it serves as a constant reminder of my personal passion and professional mission in life. Even though it’s a little less noticeable, I also wear a gold and white idiom bangle, which was a gift from the beautiful Ashley Brooke, that has “Clean Slate” engraved on the inside ring. Call me superstitious, but these two subtle reminders keep me focused, revived, and optimistic on a daily basis. I’ve linked both of them, as well as my other outfit details, at the bottom of this post!
