Review: Weleda Beauty Products Are The Best Thing Since Nutella

Weleda's Sea Buckthorn body wash smells like sunshine, love, and a thousand happy puppies. Seriously. I first got to test out this stuff when I was at a fashion event in October, and it completely blew me away. It's like they crammed an entire beach into a bottle. It smells good enough to eat, and I would if I could. The liquid is a thick, pale yellow cream. It won't create tons of suds like other body washes, and it works wonders and wakes you up in a snap. I'm still living at home (until June), and in a desperate attempt to make the bottle last as long as possible, I took a permanant marker to my bottle and wrote: 'Please don't use this. Sarah loves you, but this is hers.'

Ever since I got a chance to try the body wash, I've been obsessed with Weleda products. So you can imagine my sheer joy and delight when the Weleda team heard about my affection for their products and offered to send me a few more. That was a glorious day in the life of Sarah. The team was also kind enough to send me the Sea Buckthorn lotion, and I fell in love all over again. I swear: it smells like happiness and wonder. If the bottle came in a smaller size, I don't think I'd ever leave the house without it.

For the past few weeks, I've also been using Weleda's Refining Toner. This shiz is life changing. I've tried other face washes before, but this one is my favorite by far. The liquid is milky white, but its contistancy is more like water. After shaking the bottle and applying it all over your face, all you need to do is simply wash it off (and don't forget to moisturize). It's great if you want a quick and simple morning/nightly beauty routine. It smells awesome, and it really makes you up in the morning. Plus, it removes any and all traces of makeup. I've tried a few face washes before that make your skin clear and healthy as long as you use the product, but if you stop using the product your skin will actually get worse than it was before you started. That's not the case with Weleda. Use it and it'll help your face, stop using it and your face will be improved for more than a few days... But quickly go back to using it because it makes your skin look amazing. It's a commitment-free face wash, and I love it to pieces.

Happy Birthday The Girl In The Check Scarf!

As I was looking at my calendar, I realized that today marks the day that The Girl In The Check Scarf was created back in 2009. I can't believe we're two years old!

Thank you, my dearest readers, for reading, commenting, emailing, tweeting me, and for all your kind words over this period of my life. Your support means the world to me, and I am excited to continue to share what I love with you (Maybe there will be a post like this in another two years? We'll see what happens!). This blog has helped me grow and develop in more ways then I can count. Being in an area where next to no one knows high fashion, this blog has been a beautiful resource to me, and it has made me feel like I am part of the fashion community. It has even expanded to the point where I no longer feel that way, but I know I am part of the community. I don't know if I would have that if it wasn't for you, right now, sitting in front of your screen and reading the rants of a 16 year old from upstate NY. 
In all seriousness, this blog has changed my life. Through it, I have gotten job offers, made close friends, interacted with some major brands, and overall gained invaluable experience. I can't imagine my life now without this blog! I love blogging now even more then I did when I first began as a 14 year-old two years ago.  My readers have been a huge support to me. I love adding little blips about what's going on in my life and having people tell me about their experiences, and it's incredible that whenever something good happens in my life I get SO much support from my readers. I love you guys! Blogging has been such an adventure! Fashion weeks, countless showroom visits and events, and I hope for many more in the future. So, here we are, 464 posts, 730 days, and 479 subscribers later we're still going strong! Once again, I thank you for reading and I hope you continue to follow! And Happy Birthday, The Girl In The Check Scarf!

This wedding is so cute!

I do believe I want my wedding to be exactly like this one. And I'll be marrying Hugh Dancy.
