I have tried really hard over the years to find pieces for things like Mardi Gras that will fit everyone.  Pickings were SLIM when I started doing this but over the years the list has grown and I love getting to point out these businesses who are doing the Lords work this Carnival Season.  Here we go.

4. @fleurty_girl - the OG Mardi Gras haven!  Lauren has always tried to include sizes 1XL and up in her location and online.  If you need something that sparkles, go in and check, her out.  Also, it’s a great time to grab your spouse or kids something cute too!
5. @fringe.and.company - The home of all things sparkles and shine!  Come for their caftans and stay for the fringe tees.

They also have the studio decorated and will be hosting a few days for pop up Mardi Gras pictures.
6. @slswares - These ladies love Mardi Gras so much they designed their own line!  They are based online so check out their website and get some of the cutest pieces.

Let’s talk about January, and why it’s the perfect Let’s talk about January, and why it’s the perfect time to tweak your skin.

Cold weather, less sun, and fewer outdoor plans make January ideal for treatments that require downtime and sun avoidance. If you’ve been thinking about introducing retinol, doing laser treatments, or booking a chemical peel, this is your window.

The biggest hurdle with treatments like IPL, Morpheus8, and peels isn’t the treatment itself... it’s protecting your skin while it heals. Post-Christmas and pre-summer gives your skin the time it actually needs to recover, reset, and show results.

What I’m doing this January 👇
• IPL for sun spots and veins on my cheeks and chin
• My third round of Morpheus8 on my neck and marionette lines
• A VI Peel to finish out the month strong

I planned to start a retinol this month, but since I stacked treatments, I’m easing in slowly starting with my chest and the backs of my hands (more on that later).

January skin care isn’t about drastic changes. It’s about smart timing, intention, and setting your skin up for the rest of the year.

If “a little refresh” has been on your wishlist, now really is the time. 💆‍♀️✨

He asked us to hire @cadecaptures.1 to take some pics and I am so incredibly glad we did. Cade is a student photographer who will come to your student athletes game and take pics of them playing. He’s a great kid and immensely talented and I had the pictures back in two days. If you are looking for a way to capture some images of your student athlete send Cade a DM. We will definitely be hiring him again next season. #studentathlete #basketball #juniorhighbasketball #northshore #mandeville
