hello, SPRING
Whoa, Wait SPRING
THINGS WE LOVE RIGHT NOW • We love spring—it’s such a magical time of renewal. Every year, we are inspired by the season to freshen up our closets and homes. We love to share our budget-friendly secrets to living a lovely life with you!
THE PASSION BEHIND FLOWER HOME • We interviewed Drew Barrymore about what inspired her to create the beautiful (and affordable!) new FLOWER Home furniture and décor that is available exclusively at Walmart.com.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF • We are passionate about following skincare and hairstyling trends, but we know that true self-care doesn’t end there. Eating right, exercising and getting enough TLC is essential, too!
SKIN LOVE 101 • A few years ago, Bethany began switching out one skincare or beauty item at a time for natural alternatives. Making slow changes rather than doing a complete overhaul can help you make sure that a product is good for your skin type before you move on to the next one, especially if you have acne-prone skin, like she does. It’s all about finding the right balance.
6 EASY WAYS TO NOURISH DRY, COLOR-TREATED HAIR • Amanda has colored her hair for years, and there’s no end in sight. Because of this, and the fact that her hair is a bit on the coarse side, she is always looking for products that will nourish and brighten her hair. Here’s how she manages her luscious locks with products that are available at Walmart.

After Amanda did this one too many times, she realized she needed a travel version of her main makeup bag to live in her car. So she made a list of her favorites and headed to Walmart. Here it is.
TREND WATCH: DRY BRUSHING • Although dry brushing has been around since ancient times, it’s been a hot topic on clean living blogs lately (Goop, anyone?). Proponents claim the benefits range from simple exfoliation to improved digestion to cellulite reduction. But what, exactly, is it? And what does it really do? We decided to take a close look at the research to see for ourselves.
LEARN TO PUT YOURSELF FIRST • Placing self-care at the top of your to-do list isn’t selfish! It’s the key to greater happiness, health and harmony. Trust us.
BE ACTIVE! • We all know how important it is to get at least 30 minutes of activity per day. Amanda shares some of her secrets to having a little fun while keeping her move on.
SHOP THE produce section • Eat these in-season picks to feel your best.
ASK THE EXPERT • In the spirit of healthy eating, we reached out to farmers at Happy Egg, a company that treats their chickens well so they produce delicious, nutritious eggs we can feed our families. Read up on to find out how it all happens.
GOT THE SPRING SNIFFLES? • April showers bring May flowers, and like many of us, spring allergies! This year skip the drugs and shoo away sneezes the natural way.
SUPERFOOD SPOTLIGHT: BLUEBERRIES • These mighty little power packs contain high levels of antioxidants, contain loads of fiber and vitamin C, and have legendary cancer-fighting properties. Find out more about our favorite spring berry.
DETOX & REFRESH FROM HEAD TO TOE! • After months of exposure to cold winter air and dry indoor heat, your skin and hair will lose its natural radiance. Welcome, spring! Pamper yourself with detoxifying DIY spa treatments that will get...
