3 THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH THE NEW ECOTOOLS XO BOX

in Hair & Beauty on 07/09/18

Hey loves!!

Happy Monday!! How was your weekend?

Mine was good! We had brunch on Saturday and went out with friends and we were total buns on Sunday LOL. We are super laid back on the weekends and just enjoy going out to the beach and play tennis or go to the gym, but this weekend we kind of drank a little too much on Saturday and we are not used to that at all! I spent my entire Sunday glued to my ‘Glow Getter’ water bottle that came inside Ecotools July XO Box hahahaha.

I got this box a few weeks ago and it did not disappoint! I’ve been getting these every month since they came out in January and they seriously keep getting better and better!

I’m super excited to share with you 3 things you can do with July’s XO box called ‘Glow Getter’.

Number One: Get outside the door faster!!!

Every girl’s dream right? Well, Ecotools brings you one step closer to achieve this with their ‘Ultimate Air Drier Hairbrush’. I totally recommend using this brush when blow drying your hair, because you’ll be done 40% faster!!

No word of a lie, this brush has been a life saver for months now! It takes me less than 10 minutes to blow dry my hair. Like legit, less than 10 minutes and my hair is 100% dry!

Number Two: Get that Summer GLOW!!!!

I’ve always been a fan of exfoliating my skin regularly and trust me, I’ve used MANY products, but Ecotools Dry Brush and Body Konjac Sponge (along with their exfoliating gloves) have already made a HUGE difference.

First, you start with the Dry Brush. As its name states, you use it dry before you get in the shower and brush gently throughout your body doing ONLY upward strokes.

Then, it’s time for the Konjac Sponge! It seems kind of hard when it’s dry but it gets SUPER soft when you rinse it. You simply apply your body wash to either side (or both like I do) and scrub your entire body. For your face you can use Ecotools’ charcoal sponge and you can also alternate your exfoliating routine by using their gloves which are amazing as well!

I try to do this once a week because it keeps my skin more hydrated (your moisturizer absorbs better when you remove all that dead skin), it prevents ingrown hairs and you get better and more even tans, which is the whole goal of Summer right?

Number three: Nail a summery glowy makeup look!

I love a good everyday Summer look and the good thing about this one is that all the tools you need come in ONE set. It’s also super easy and can be done in 5 minutes.

The set comes with a perfecting blender sponge to use for your base, a powder/blush brush, a highlighting fan which is amazing to apply your highlighter across your cheekbones and nose, and a couple of shading brushes for your eyeshadow. And as a bonus, it comes with the cutest and most functional case :).

This tropical girl now has her tropical glow, and I’m sooooo happy about it!



 

Let me know what you think about the box this month!! It includes a few other cute things like a smokey eye brush yet, a face oil I have not used yet (But I’m sure is amazing) and a cute water bottle that saved my life yesterday LOL


 

If you want to shop one of these, just check out this link. Remember these are NOT subscription boxes. You get to check them out at the beginning of each month when Ecotools’ announces that month’s theme and you only shop for the ones you like.

So go ahead and be a glow getter. Don’t forget that real GLOW comes from the inside out!

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a blessed week ahead!!

XO,
Signature

OH, HI THERE!

Hi guys! My name is Aimara and I’m the voice behind Ways of Style.

I created this Blog as a space to express my thoughts and life experiences while wearing cute outfits of course! At the same time I want to encourage you to always be yourself, without caring what the world thinks about it.

I believe that we all have a specific purpose in life, but you can only find it by being 100% you and following your heart & intuition. In May 2014 I came to this country with a dream and with all my belongings in a suitcase, with nothing but determination to make it happen.

After I posted my stories last week sharing how I After I posted my stories last week sharing how I excited I was for my first paid partnership since November, I received a lot of questions that I replied individually, but also made me realize that maybe a lot of you have no idea what goes on behind the scenes of running a blog. So here are some things I personally experience:

1. A lot of NO’s (like a lot!)
2. A lof of the wrong partnerships. I’d say every 20 email proposals I get, only 1 makes the cut.
3. Crazy, all over the place schedule. Working weekends, after hours, etc. That’s why I take short breaks during the day. (FYI: this never feels like work to me!)

What do I do if I’m not working with brands then? I’m reaching out, creating links (which is another source of income), studying, learning new things, planning, researching... a million things I never get to manage when I’m busy with campaigns.

When deciding if I’ll work with a brand, I ask myself: 1. Am I PUMPED for this brand/product? 2. Do they let me have creative freedom? (Nothing worse than a brand that wants you to post a script)
3. Are they paying my rates?

This is why it’s SO FREAKING HARD to get the right partnerships. A lof of the times I try the products and don’t like them, so then that’s it. Other times, I like the product but then the brand is like... so this is the photo we want, and here’s the caption... and I’m like 💆🏻‍♀️👋🏻 no thank you! And other times (and this is where I’m more flexible with, if the first 2 things are right) they just don’t have the budget or don’t want to pay you enough... which sucks!

Do you see why it’s so hard? 😭 That’s why you have to find something you love doing so much, you would do it for free! At first I had other jobs to support this business, now it’s stable enough that I can prepare for not doing paid stuff for a long time! It wasn’t easy, but I’m so grateful I eventually got to that point you know? 
*end of rant* 😂

PS: Just shared that second pic in there (swipe to see) to show details on this cute sweater and sweats! 😉 Linking on my stories and bio. If you have any questions, just let me know! I’m always here to help! ❤️

I’m so glad brands like @bioskinbracing got on board to create beautiful, breathable and safe masks for all of us, so we are able to go outside and have some sense of normalcy during these crazy times! 💞

Extra info on these cute masks:
•	You can stretch the ear loops, which makes them super comfy!
•	They are very comfortable for hot weather.
•	So far, they have donated over $125,000 to hunger relief programs.
•	They come in packs of 3 and are affordable!
•	All masks are made in the US.

Any questions? DM me or ask in the comments! I’m here to help :)

I’ve never had an office to compare this one wit I’ve never had an office to compare this one with, but I think it’s pretty nice and hard to beat! 💞

The weather has been perfect, I hear the birds chirping all day, I’m surrounded by beautiful tropical plants... what else can a girl ask for? I mean it would be EXTRA nice if it was next to a canal and I could see a baby dolphin play with a baby manatee all day, but I’m not complaining 😂

Happy Monday! 💞 Hope this week it’s better than the last 😘

Hear me out... IF you had to choose, which one do Hear me out... IF you had to choose, which one do you prefer? Black t-shirts or white t-shirts? 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you’ve been hanging out long enough around here, you know for sure I’m a white t-shirt kind of girl, but since living out of a suitcase, I’ve given other colors a chance! Now I travel with black, white, green and grey ☺️

Simple t-shirts are the best because you can style them in many different ways! I got these 2 from @americangiant and I’m obsessed!! (I also got sweatpants that I’ll share later). I’m linking them via my stories and in my bio. They were kind enough to offer a welcome code for you guys!! 15% off using code ‘waysofstyle15’ ❤️

Jeans are oldies from @citizensofhumanity and I love them so so much too!! 

You’ll see more of these for sure!! Also, all of these pieces are US made 🙌🏻

Good morninggggg! ☀️ Anyone has the day off to Good morninggggg! ☀️
Anyone has the day off today? How was your V-day?

We spent the whole day at the beach and then went to dinner to one of our favorite local places for Caribbean food 😍 The place is called Bamboo Fire if you are ever in the Delray area. It’s super small, low key, not fancy at all, with outdoor sitting and the food is so so good!! 👏🏻

This week we are getting ready to drive to Tampa and I’m sooooo excited! We have decided to stay down here (Florida) until May or so and will go to Chicago after when it’s warm and hopefully we are already vaccinated 🙏🏻 Things can change, but that’s the plan for now ☺️

Hope everyone has a great week ahead ❤️ Mine started sort of meeehhhhh (more Venezuelan passport related headaches), but hopefully I’ll be able to figure something out 🙏🏻 Wish me luck! 💫
Don’t ever take getting a new passport for granted my American friends! You have no idea what I’ve been through to renew mine 🙈 (and it’s the norm)

PS: linking this look in my bio + stories. Everything but the shoes is 40% off!
