You’re Not Lost By: Maxie McCoy
I met Maxie at Create Cultivate Chicago. Maxie was not only a speaker, but also my mentor. Her personality was captivating. She was hilarious, genuine, brutally honest and I loved every minute of it! Maxie is the type of girl you want to have apart of your tribe. She is the type of friend that will encourage you to strive to be your best, and to be grateful (aka #BATSHITGRATEFUL). She is obsessed with giving women the tools they need to believe in themselves. I can’t wait to read her new book!

Publix and P&G Reward Yourself Promo 9/13-9/18
Hey Darlings, happy Thursday! So, you buy things for your home all the time, but what about FOR YOURSELF?! Well, all that is about to change! This week, Publix is offering a great deal and I just can’t keep it to myself! When you purchase $30 worth of qualifying P&G products, you will earn a $10 Publix gift card INSTANTLY! YES! I am not lying! What better than great products that give back?! Uhm, nothing!
Let’s discuss the nitty gritty. I know what you’re thinking. Well, what is considered a qualifying purchase? Qualifying products include Tide PODS or Gain Laundry Detergent, Dawn Dish Detergent, Bounty 6 Big Roll, Pantene Hair Care, Olay Body Wash or Old Spice Hydrowash, Vicks DayQuil, NyQuil or ZzzQuil, Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste, Tampax Pearl Tampons, and Pampers Diapers. Savings on all the necessities + a sweet gift just for you!
My favorites from this list are definitely the Olay Body Wash and the Tide PODS. I’m a weirdo I know! I loveee Olay! Their new Whip Foaming Body Wash is soo light and airy. It is seriously the best! Their Shea Butter Cream Body Wash is also a winner in my book. I love the clean smell, and it leaves my skin so smooth! Tide PODS are on my list because they just make doing laundry easier. I am all about convenience! I don’t have to worry about measuring, spilling, or anything of that nature.
This deal is available to you from 9/13-9/18! Get your wallets ready and happy shopping!

My Favorite Make-up Removing Wipe
These make-up remover wipes are seriously amazing! They take off all your make-up, even the waterproof kind! I love these wipes because they smell INCREDIBLE, and they are gentle on my sensitive skin. These wipes are at a great price point too! You can get a pack of three for under $13. That’s basically $4 a pack, and that is far less expensive than the competitor brands like Neutrogena, Olay, Simple, Aveeno and Ponds!

Living on The Ledge
Nothing can stop me, I’m all the way up! The Skydeck is on the 103rd floor (yes, you read that right) of the Willis Tower. You can enjoy 360 degree views spanning up to 50 miles from the highest observatory in the Western Hemisphere. The Ledge I’m laying on is 1,353 feet over the city!
General Admission was $24. There is a ticket option to cut the line, Fast Pass, which was $49. The experience is definitely not what I expected. You wait in line, then wait in another line. Th whole thing is organized and orchestrated. You get 1 minute for your group, YES 60 little seconds, for all of you to get a photo. I was taken aback by that as each of us paid $24. I felt we each deserved a minute after waiting in the very long lines. They have employees standing at the 4 ledges timing you. Even though it was organized, there was still chaos. So, here are some pro-tips.
Pro-tips:
1. Have your poses for your photo picked out. You only get a few seconds to master it. (Check Instagram hashtags and location Skydeck)
2. Make sure you have 3 hours of free time. There is a lot of standing in line, so carve out a solid chunk of time for this if it is on your list!
3. Do not say you are in a group if you want an individual photo. Say you are an individual and your friend is taking the photo. That will allow you to have a full minute to yourself, a mistake we made.
4. If lines frustrate you, chug some wine. Hahah just kidding!
