While it may seem obvious to throw on that one green t-shirt you have laying in your drawers and call it a day, we have some tips for you to outdo yourself this year. Instead of relying on a t-shirt with St. Patrick’s Day or a pun about being lucky, try out a more sophisticated look this year. These outfits allow you to wear the clothes you love so it doesn’t only look like you’re out to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.  Outfit 1 Our first outfit features black jeans, which can be used in a variety of outfit choices.

You don’t need to be in a relationship, nor do you need Valentine’s Day to show love and appreciate others. So, this holiday, whether you’re in a relationship or happily single, you can still practice self-care not only now but in your everyday life. That’s why we compiled some tips for you to get the most out of taking care of yourself this year.  Start off the day with deep breaths Deep breaths help you put yourself in the moment and calm down your brain. Doing a few in the morning while focusing on the present will prepare you for the day ahead. It’s important to not get ahead of yourself each day and to enjoy every moment you have. Yesterday is over and tomorrow isn’t here yet, so live in the present.

March is officially here, which means that Spring isn’t far behind. Before we get there though, it’s that time of year where many people travel for a week to escape to get a break from the cold weather: Spring Break. Now this annual migration is popular among college students, but we’re not talking about a Spring Breakers type situation for your getaway. We’re talking about a rejuvenating, family friendly Spring vacation. So, if you are traveling this time of year, we compiled your very own packing guide.  At this point, you’ve got your destination picked out and it’s most likely somewhere warm and sunny. Although depending on where you’re going, it may not be 80 degrees every day. The temperature could fluctuate and get down to the 60s, especially at night.  Tip 1: Prepare for the weather and pack a variety of clothing options.   Of course, the essentials like shorts, short sleeve shirts, and tank tops will make their way into your suitcases, but you sho...

Last November, we wrote a precursor blog post to this one, where we outlined other fall/winter fashion essentials (sweaters and scarves). However, to be able to include all the season’s essentials, it would be too much for one blog, so we decided to split them into two parts. This is our second one, so if you want to catch up on the first post you can read it here: https://www.tlcsalonandspamilford.com/2018/11/fallwinter-fashion-must-haves.html Beanies Beanies can be boiled down to two different styles – with pompoms or without, sure there are many varieties within each category, but we’re going to keep it simple. This accessory is perfect for any fall/winter occasion, not only to keep your head warm, but to add a little flair to your outfit.  Without Pompoms: Beanies without pompoms are usually not as wintery and can be worn in more situations than ones with pompoms. They can be dressed up and dressed down from a nice sweater to a flannel, these beanies can be...

        This time of year is filled with holiday themed music, and one of the songs you’re most likely to hear in some way or form is the “12 Days of Christmas.” You know, the one that lists all the presents some lady is getting for 12 days of Christmas. Well, that song was the inspiration behind this blog post, because we decided to take that popular tune and turn it into the 12 Days of Aveda, featuring Aveda’s special gift packages for the holiday season.         On the first day of Aveda, my true love gave to me “A Gift of Rosemary Mint.” This gift set features three rosemary mint products: shampoo, conditioner, and hand/body wash. Each one contains the scent of organic rosemary, peppermint, and other flower and plant essences.       On the second day of Aveda, my true love gave to me “A Gift of Shampure.” With Shampure’s hand/body wash, body lotion, and moisturizing crème, you’ll be able to ...
