It’s been an exciting week for Sonabank and Sonabank POWER. Congrats to the whole team on a successful merger! We are thrilled to be working with you. Looks like the branch associates in my hometown branch of Gloucester are excited too.
EVB Is now Sonabank
EVB Becomes Sonabank
EVB became Sonabank and we are thrilled for the growth of this company. We worked with them on a social strategy for the merger. Shoutout to Lisa at Facebook for making sure it all went smoothly.
Bell Sleeves
I bought this bell-sleeved coat ($150 | Zara) right before the TFB Kendra Scott event and I’ve gotten a lot of use out of it. It doesn’t button up or zip, so I had my dry cleaner add in some little hooks so that I can wear it closed. I love the white, but it also comes in Fuchsia, Nude Pink, Black and Cobalt.

Beauty Hack: Black Towels
I saw the suggestion in a bridal gift idea roundup of a black hand/face bathroom towel and thought it was so smart. All of my bathroom towels are white. I have the Peter Thomas Roth Moor Mud Mask and the Boscia Pore Pudding Intensive Wash-Off Treatment, both black, were staining them.
I found this set of 12 for $17.99 on Amazon and it’s been perfect.
Some masks come with their towel, like this PTR set. You can also get them embroidered if you’re giving as a gift.
Round Vase
H & M sent me a coupon in the mail for 40% off one item. the next time I was at the mall (Short Pump Town Center in Richmond, VA, I stopped in to see what they had. I found this sweater. I was reading some minimalist advice on waiting 24 hours to buy something you see to force yourself to think about whether you really want it and avoid impulse buying, so I didn’t get it. I did, however, check the website before I left the store to make sure they had it in case I decided I wanted it. the website actually had it at a cheaper price ($14.99). I browsed the site and came across this vase in the home section. I’ve been looking for a plain, round vase and this one is perfect. Highly recommend!
TFB Favorites: Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum
I read about Drunk Elephant’s T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum and was convinced to try it based on the list of ingredients. I’m always looking for products that will keep my skin clear, and that’s one of the things this one promised.
I found a mini set in Sephora that came with their Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil. I went through the mini in less than two weeks and immediately bought the full-size. It’s so good and I’ve already got a few of my friends using it. This clears your skin and makes it feel so soft. I highly recommend.
Orchid’s & Peonies did a great, in-depth review including the ingredients and the history of the line here. I especially love the story about how the line got it’s name from the myth that elephants get “drunk” from the fermentation in their stomachs of fruit from Marula of trees in Africa.
Have you tried anything from Drunk Elephant? Are there any products you’re curious about and want me to try out and review? Let me know in the comments or here.
