These past few months have been such a
whirlwind! Can you believe that it’s already
May? It’s so easy to get caught up in the
fast pace of everyday life and forget to
take the time to enjoy everything blooming
around you.
May is the perfect time to stop, discon-
nect, and take a few moments to breathe.
Allow yourself time! It really makes such a
difference. Spring is a season of new life
and fresh beginnings. However, all of these
gorgeous blooms need nurturing and care
so they can really come into their own. It’s
the same with you! You’re a boss babe, and
even boss babes need some time to relax,
take some time off, and recharge.
So, for this month, I wanted to give you a
little box of care, nurturing, and love. You
deserve to feel special! From essential skin-
care, haircare, and beauty to special treats,
I’ve curated a perfect bouquet of my May
favorites, just for you.
Enjoy!
XOXO,
P.S. Happy late Mother's Day to all of you hard-working moms out there! <3

Saz Tip - Simply moisten the bar with some water, and swirl your dirty brushes until they lather. If your brushes are extra filthy, consider soaking them in a cup full of lukewarm water first! Once the water starts to run clear from your brushes, lay them flat on a towel to air dry. In no time, you’re ready for your next makeup masterpiece!
Clean brushes are the start to every gorgeous makeup look and an organized makeup drawer helps keep me feeling neat, fresh, and ready to face the day!
Swirl and Sparkle, Mini Brush CleanserSomething Sparkling | Retail Value: $3.99
I’m the first to admit… cleaning my makeup
brushes is not my fave part of my beauty rou-
tine, even though we ALL know how important
this step is for keeping our skin clear, our
brushes in good condition, and our makeup
true to color! Cleaning my brushes always
seemed like such a chore until I discovered
Swirl + Sparkle, a super cute organic solid
makeup brush cleaner that magically melts
away makeup residue, dead skin cells, oils and
bacteria off your brushes!
Saz Tip - These are the ULTIMATE s’mores marsh-mallows! Let out your inner child and bring these along to your next picnic, camping trip or bonfire, and see who can make the biggest s’more stack. Yum!
At only 80 calories per serving (about 4 marshmal-lows) and with zero grams of fat, these ‘mallows are a mindful indulgence kids of all ages will enjoy!

Smashmallow, Cookie Dough MallowSomething Delicious | Retail Value: $4.00
What’s better than two treats in one?
SmashMallow’s Cookie Dough marshmal-
lows combine two of my fave childhood
goodies - heaping mounds of chocolate chip
cookie dough and clouds of soft marshmal-
low goodness! Every SmashMallow is made
with non-GMO and gluten-free ingredients,
and they’re free from preservatives, dairy,
soy, artificial flavors/ingredients and contain
no heavy corn syrup, so they’re a guilt-free
snack for just about everyone!

What’sInside
Y’all know that a great mask is one of my
favorite steps in my skincare routine. This
mask by L'Oreal contains three pure clays
plus charcoal to detoxify and brighten dull,
tired skin. Your skin is your largest organ,
and it's important to let it breathe. This
detoxifying mask purifies skin of dirt, oil, and
pollution for a super fresh glow and a more
luminous finish.

NCLA, We’re Off To Never Never Land Nail LaquerSomething Dreamy | Retail Value: $16.00
I’m always on the hunt for a super gorgeous,
versatile lacquer color to take me through
any season. This month I found “We’re Off To
Never Never Land” by NCLA - the dreamiest
muted heather purple that’s perfect on all
skin tones! This color reminds me of French
lavender and lilacs. Trust me, this lacquer is
the new neutral. Plus, all NCLA nail lacquers
are made with love in sunny California, and
they are 100% vegan, cruelty free, and 7-free
with NO formaldehyde so they’re safe for
even the littlest fingers and toes!
Learn more at shopncla.com
Saz Tip - Apply two even coats to clean, dry nails for perfect coverage and maximum color effect.
I love to switch up my mani every week or two to keep things fresh! A cute spin on a classic is paint-ing all your nails one solid color, and then painting one finger with a complimentary color or glitter polish for an unexpected pop!
Saz Tip - After using a clay mask, always make sure to moisturize! I like following up a clay mask with a hydrating sheet mask AND my favorite moisturizer. You can never be too moisturized!

Saz Tip - This product is actually a two-in-one - on the other end of the blush stick is a trèSwitch Synthetic Contour Brush! This brush was designed with a custom angle to hug the contours of your face and seamlessly blend cream formulas without streaking or caking.
Apply the blush stick directly to the apples of your cheeks and blend in with clean fingers. For extra depth and glow, pair with a cream highlighter!
Tréstique, Blush Stick, Bora Bora or St. Barth's Something Blushing | Retail Value: $10.00
Cream blushes give the prettiest flush. These
cream blushes from Tréstique literally melt into
your skin for the dewiest finish! I couldn’t pick
just one color, so this month each of you will
get a cream blush in either Bora Bora Coral or
St. Barth’s Pink. The buttery formula blends
perfectly into the skin, leaving cheeks with a
soft pop of color. It’s the perfect product to
get that gorgeous fresh-faced glow.
Saz Tip - Who knew popcorn could be a super-food?! Himalayan Pink Popcorn is free from: dairy, GMOs, egg, gluten, nut, sesame, soy, sunflower, and yeast. Plus it's certified organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, and made in a nut-free facility using nut-free equipment!
I love mixing a little bit of salt with a little bit of sweetness! Try mixing this popcorn with some organic cacao nibs, so you get that perfect mix of flavor while staying healthy! .

Lesser Evil, Buddha Bowl, Himalayan Pink PopcornSomething Tasty | Retail Value: $0.99
For me, eating well is all about mindfully
choosing simple and pure foods, preparing
meals with love, and sharing the bounty with
friends and family. From a fancy meal to a
midnight snack, I want to feel good about
the food I eat! This delicious snack has
just three ingredients - non-GMO popcorn,
organic extra virgin coconut oil, and pink
himalayan salt. Plus, the popcorn is air-
popped (not oil-fried) for a fluffier, lighter,
and lower-fat treat. Doesn’t get more simple
than that!

6What’sInside
Warmer weather calls for soft, touchable,
low maintenance hair. Designed for all hair
types, this spray detangles, moisturizes,
reduces drying time, adds shine, nour-
ishes stressed locks, eliminates frizz and
protects against thermal and environmental
damage. Miracles DO happen! Think of
this spray as your guardian angel. Plus, the
blend of marshmallow root, sugarcane and
meadowfoam seed oil provides weightless
anti-humidity coating with color protection.
Seriously - what can’t this spray do?
Learn more at sheamoisture.com
Saz Tip - Use this spray daily on damp hair, espe-cially before heat styling or sun exposure!
Apply to dry hair for a boost of moisture and to calm frizz. Flip your hair upside-down, give it a little spritz, shake it out, and you're ready to go!

Simple Skincare, Skin Quench Sleeping CreamSomething Restful | Retail Value: $9.99
Ever wish you could get more done while
you’re sleeping? I know I do! I’m obsessed
with this sleeping cream because it works
overtime to reverse dehydration while I get to
catch some Zzz’s! This silky, lightweight gel
cream absorbs quickly to replenish and revive
tired skin. Made with skin-loving minerals and
plant extracts, this cream keeps you hydrated
for up to 72 hours! And as always, Simple
never uses artificial colors, perfumes or harsh
chemicals that can upset skin. It’s amazing
what a good night’s sleep can fix!
Learn more at simpleskincare.com
Saz Tip - After cleansing, apply gently to your face and neck using upward and outward movements to stimulate circulation and instantly rehydrate skin. Then get some shut-eye, and let the magic work!

Saz Tip - To touch up your smile anywhere, just Flip, Pop, and Touch Up! Pull the applicator from the paper sleeve, flip the applicator over and reinsert it into the sleeve with the applicator tip pointing out-wards. With the applicator tip pointing downward, squeeze firmly until the inner tube pops and the tip of the applicator is saturated with serum! Once the applicator tip is almost dripping with serum, apply directly to the surface of each tooth in a circular motion. To avoid sensitivity, target away from the gum area. After applying, wait 20 minutes before you rinse, eat or drink!
Go Smile, Smile Stain EraserSomething Brilliant | Retail Value: $14.00
Clean, white teeth are the perfect accessory
for any look. For on-the-go teeth cleaning and
whitening, I count on these stain erasers from
Go Smile. Because teeth are porous, stains
from food and drinks can soak deep inside the
enamel unless you act quickly! These fast and
portable teeth whitening applicators prevent
daily stains from setting into your teeth, give
you a minty “just brushed” feeling (without the
calories and sugar of gum or mints!), and even
help prevent new stains from setting in! That’s
something to smile about!
This mask is super gentle and won't weigh down your hair, so it's safe to use 2 - 3 times a week as needed.

Art Naturals, Whipped Argan Oil Hair MaskSomething Luscious | Retail Value: $13.00
A great hair mask is just as essential as a
great face mask. Now that spring is here,
your hair needs a little extra TLC to transition
from the dry winter months! If you use any
kind of heat-styling tools or dye your hair,
this is a must-have to treat dull, lifeless, or
damaged hair. ArtNatural's blend of Argan
and Jojoba oils, keratin, amino acids and
botanical extracts bring new life to my hair
when it starts to get a little cray. This mask
not only helps reduce frizz and flyaways, it
voluminizes and improves your hair's natural
texture and luster.

10What’sInside
Spring is all about soft kisses of color and
dewy, hazy tones. As the weather gets
warmer, I find myself really drawn to super
soft, hydrating cream lipsticks! Ardell’s but-
tery formula wraps lips in rich, replenishing
emollients and the color payoff is unbeliev-
able. Seriously y’all, one swipe and your lips
are done! I chose my two favorite shades for
this month: Fox is a dreamy warm mauve,
and Slow Blow is a gorgeous hot pink-red.
Which one did you receive?

Saz Tip - For a perfect pout every time, draw an “X” in the center of your top lip to define your cupid’s bow, and then fill in the rest! One swipe is all you need for full, even coverage!
For a more muted look, tone down a bright lip color by applying just a dab to the center of your lips and gently blotting outward. This will create the illusion of fuller lips and makes even the most shocking lip color wearable for every day!

Yu-Be, Moisturizing Skin Cream
Something Restful | Retail Value: $9.99
Y'all -- I am just absolutely obsazzed with
Yu-Be! It is one of my skincare ESSENTIALS,
which is why I'm giving it to you again.
Developed by Japanese pharmacists to be
intensely moisturizing, healing, and non-
greasy, Yu-Be's unique formula has been a
beauty favorite since the 50's. I've kept this
as a go-to moisturizer in my purse since I've
discovered Yu-Be and I'm never going back!
Since we're starting a brand new season, I
knew I just had to include this in Bless Box
again!
Learn more at yu-be.com
Saz Tip - Apply a thin layer to your face and neck after your nightly skincare routine and let Yu-Be work its magic!
(continued)
This is the perfect size to keep on you at all times for skincare emergencies! I keep one on my bath-room counter and one in my purse to make sure I always have it on hand when I need it.
Saz Tip - Comb through wet or damp hair and leave it on for three to five minutes. Rinse thor-oughly, dry as usual and voila!

What’sInsideGeorgette Klinger, Vitamin C TonerSomething Brightening | Retail Value: $12.00
(continued)
Vitamin C is one of my favorite multi-tasking skin
care ingredients -- it brightens skin, improves tone,
and fades sunspots, dark marks and acne scars! This
month I’m obsazzed with this multi-active Vitamin
C Toner from Georgette Klinger! This toner visibly
reduces hyperpigmentation and builds collagen for
clear, firm, totally gorgeous skin. This highly effective
blend of Vitamin C features Kakadu Plum Extract (one
of the world’s richest sources of Vitamin C) that works
to form a defensive shield of antioxidants to protect
your skin from dangerous free-radicals. Soothing aloe,
witch hazel, watercress and elderflower extracts calm
and nourish the skin while removing excess dirt, oil,
makeup and pollutants for bright, healthy complexion.
Saz Tip - I use this toner twice daily! After cleansing, I soak a cotton ball or cotton pad with toner and gently apply it to my face, neck and chest (avoiding my eye area) in a circular motion.
Follow up each use with your favorite moisturizer and SPF, and glow, baby!

Take A BreakA little bit of self-care goes a long way. Right now, I’m sneaking in a little more time for
self care with the L’Oreal Pure Clay Mask from this month’s box! Just a few moments a
day to myself helps me feel more grounded, relaxed, and able to breathe.
Step 1
Make sure that you're starting with a
clean and dry face! Try this out right after
your shower or if you have a few extra
minutes in the morning!
Step 2
Apply an even layer over your face and
neck and leave it on for 10 - 15 minutes.
Use this time to put down your phone
and step away from the hustle while this
mask works its magic.
Step 3
Rinse thoroughly with warm water and your
favorite cleanser. Follow up with a hydrating
moisturizer for glowing and healthy skin!
Step 4
Let yourself breathe! This detoxifying mask
helps your skin breathe by banishing dirt, oil
and pollutants. Make sure you’re doing the
same for yourself and taking a deep breath
and unwinding!

Who says it has to be Mother's Day to celebrate the amazing mothers in your life? No matter how old we get or how far away from home we are, our
moms are always there for us. Here are 10 super easy ways to #blessitforward and let the wonderful mothers in your life know that you appreciate them.
3. 4.Send her a bouquet of her favorite blooms,
just because! Everyone loves a surprise, and
now that it's Spring, you'll have an endless
array of gorgeous flowers to choose from.
Let Mom know she deserves something
beautiful!
If you live in the same city, plan a day or an
afternoon together: watching old movies,
cooking a family recipe, or even just helping
her in the garden or with projects around
the house. If you live far away, plan a Skype
or FaceTime date! With the power of tech-
nology, you can eat a meal together even if
you're thousands of miles apart.
1.Have an old Bless Box lying around? Fill up
an empty Bless Box (or a pretty gift basket
or gift bag) with an assortment of beauty
products, yummy snacks and thoughtful
mementos to curate your very own Bless
experience for mama! (Or have me do it for you and sign her up for Bless Box!)
2. Say Something Sweet
Take Some Time
Don’t underestimate the value of a phone
call or a simple text to let her know you’re
thinking of her! Just a quick note letting
her know you're there for her can mean
the world!
Extra Blessings

IT FORWARD

6.Ask your mom to teach you something! Ev-
ery mom has a hidden wealth of knowledge
- ask her to teach you how to cook that dish
you always loved, or ask her to show you
how she always beat dad at cards.
Make a legacy video! Take some time to
interview your mom, grandma, or mother fig-
ure and get to know all about her life before
you came into the picture. It’ll be a keepsake
you’ll treasure forever, and you just might
learn a thing or two!
7.
Take a class together! Art, cooking, pottery,
or even a wine-and-paint night!

9. Write A Letter
Tag us with
#blessitforward
How do you show Mom that you love her?
Write her a letter listing all the things you
love and appreciate about her! Trust me,
she’ll keep it forever.
Take a mother-daughter trip together! If
a vacation is out of your budget, create a
stay-cation vibe at home with some chilled
rosé, yummy snacks and some face masks!

Since Mother’s Day is this month, I wanted to put together a shortlist of ways for you to rest and recuperate during the busy week (whether you’re a mama or not, this list is for you!). These 7 tips for resting and easing the mind work wonders for me and my family, so I wanted to share
with you! So kick your feet up, turn off your phone, and rest up, cuties! You deserve it!
7Skip the workout! You have my permission. If you’re not feeling it that day, take the time you would’ve used to work out and do something for YOU. Maybe it’s stretching, taking a leisurely walk,
or just taking a nap! Do what’s best for YOU!
Get outside! Stevie and I will often take a walk in our neighborhood just to clear our heads, especially if it’s been a stressful day. You’ll
be surprised what just 15-20 minutes will do for your peace of mind!
Treat yo self. Do a face mask, hair mask, or some kind of body treatment at least once a week. Taking the time to
care for yourself is so important in this busy life!
14
Ways To Rest
7654 Put down the phone - I repeat, PUT DOWN THE PHONE! You heard
me! My new Sunday ritual is social media fasting. It forces me to relax and be present- both Stevie and I are loving it!
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, make a shortlist of what you HAVE to get done, and leave out the things that can wait for later. Prioritizing puts everything in perspective, wipes away
the clutter in your mind, and will put you at ease.
Phone a friend. Or your mom. Or your cousin. Call somebody you love just to chat and laugh! My siblings and I do this every week -
what’s more important than sharing a laugh with someone you love?
Turn off the alarm clock. At least once a week - this is crucial! Let yourself sleep until your body wakes up. It’s so repairing to the mind, body and soul to wake up to peace and calm, and it will set the tone for the rest of your day.
