Solgaard Carry-On Closet code MADAMECHIC gives 15% off

Awarded the distinction of Time Magazine's Best Inventions, the Solgaard Carry-on Closet is an innovative suitcase made with eco-friendly materials, that allows you to transport your belongings elegantly and stylishly. It has a patented built-in shelving system that allows for optimal organization, a USB charging port for convenience, and an indestructible polycarbonate shell for durability.  The color of my suitcase is Cannes Sand. So chic. Solgaard have given us the discount code MADAMECHIC for 15% off. 

Vegamour Brow Serum THEDAILYCONNOISSEUR for 20% off 

I've been using the Vegamour Brow serum for nearly four months now and have seen growth in my sparse eyebrows. The top is the "before" and the bottom is the "after". I'm impressed with the results and will continue to use it. 

Neiwai Barely Zero Bra JS10 for 10% off 

The Neiwai Barely Zero Bra is a one size fits all (yes, you read that correctly) bra that is sooo comfortable. I have purchased this bra in several colors. It's an excellent tee shirt bra and works well with outfits that won't show the thick straps. It also works as a half-camisole under your clothing. The silhouette won't work for every outfit, however, as the straps are very thick and the neckline is high. Use code JS10 for 10% off. 

Montelle Intimates modal bust-support chemise JEN20 for 20% off in midi-length... yes!!! 

Made out of buttery-soft, eco-friendly Tencel™ Modal from renewable cellulosic plants such as beech trees, pine trees, and bamboo. All three fibers are biodegradable.

Here are some of the key aspects of the chemise:

Planting Tree is a website that has an excellent selection of high quality plants perfect for your zone. The two rose bushes they sent me were delivered carefully packaged in a box. They arrived with hardly any leaves of buds and a few weeks later they turned into the excellent specimens you see above. Code JENNIFER gives $10 off orders $99+

360 Cookware  DC20 for 20% off 

I am finally trying out a high-quality stainless steel cookware set. 360 Cookware is made in America and built to last. The pans have a vapor technology that creates fast even heat. The lids capture the heat and circulates it, rather than allowing it to escape out of the sides. I've been regularly cooking on them for weeks and love them! The key is to not use high heat. Medium heat and under works like a charm. Thank you to 360 Cookware for the 20% discount with code DC20.

Plum Deluxe Tea  JENNIFER10 for 10% off  Plum Deluxe source great ingredients, blend them to perfection and delivery them fresh. They have a wide variety of impressive loose leaf teas to choose from. I have been especially loving the Self-Care Blend Herbal Tea (with elderberry and apricot) and Gratitude Blend Black Tea (a strawberry Earl Grey). 

 My friend, Inspired by Nikki, has designed this retro-inspired half aprons. They are more decorative than utilitarian and are so adorable. 

On the Loose is a new children's book by Chic Society member, Theresa Brown. The mother in this fun story is wearing a robe inspired by my favorite plum robe. How neat! It's a sweet tale about what to do when a lizard accidentally gets into the house.

Comment of the Week

Elizabeth A. writes, "If an artist's art doesn’t appeal to me aesthetically I’m more bound to try and understand the art. It is simple for me to look at Monet or Van Gogh. I like what I see. So I like to look at it. But to try to understand art that I am not drawn to is me giving that artist profound respect. We must try things that we are not sure we will like. Be curious friends!!"

Elizabeth, I couldn't agree more. You stated it perfectly!

Welcome to the July edition of Connoisseur Reviews.



We are going to explore tea, candles, skincare, eyebrow palettes, and more in this month's review.


Tea Drops are an interesting concept... it's basically high-quality loose leaf organic tea pressed into a compact "drop". There are no tea bags and you can drop the tea right into your hot water. A bit of sediment forms on the bottom, but it is safe to drink. This would make a unique gift for any tea lover you might know. My favorite flavor was Rose Earl Grey, which is lightly sweetened with sugar.






Here is the Keep Calm and Remain Classy Mug, which is also in pink...

I hope you enjoyed the reviews in today's video.

Comment of the Week
I normally highlight the positive and inspiring comments I receive in this section and I thank you for them. This week, however, I will address an email I received from a reader who was very upset that I do not regularly respond to the comments on the blog. I will not publish her email, but wanted to address it here. As most of you know, I am a homeschooling mother of four young children. Parenting, family life, and taking care of my home take up the majority of my day. The rest of the time I spend creating and working on this blog, my channel, and books.

Between the blog, YouTube channel, social media accounts, website contact form, and my eCourses, I receive hundreds of comments each day and am unable to respond to all of them. I generally respond to the blog comments every ten days or so. I believe that is better than publishing a canned response that would feel robotic and informal. I have also implemented the comment of the week feature on the blog in order to highlight interesting and inspiring comments. Thank you for your understanding. My family always comes first and I know that most of you appreciate that.

I hope you enjoyed this month's review. If there is anything you'd like me to review in the future, please let me know in the comments. Take care and I will see you soon!

Welcome to the June edition of Connoisseur Reviews.



We are going to explore makeup, perfume, oils, and gummies (yes, gummies!) in today's review session.


⚜️Osmosis CC Cream I have reviewed this CC cream in the past and find myself returning to it this summer. CC stands for "color correcting". This cream goes on seemingly white and then blends into your skin, matching your color. It is a lighter weight cream and nice for lazy summer days.



⚜️Aether eyeshadow palette can be found on Grove Collaborative and Amazon. I like this crystal amethyst gemstone palette, however, there are some things to note: each shade is dark. There really are not any lighter or medium shades. Normally an eyeshadow palette has a mix of light, medium, and dark shades. Because these are all dark, you would need to use other shades to blend and contrast.



⚜️NYX retractable eyeliner in brown is a good, affordable, long-lasting, waterproof eyeliner. It is a creamy formula and doesn't require a sharpening pencil. It is a bit blunt with a thicker line application, but, for the price is a great liner.


⚜️Goli Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies The Goli Apple Cider Gummie supports skin health, weight management, immune system, appetite, heart health, and energy. It's also infused with superfoods, and enriched with vitamins B9 and B12. They have a good taste and are easy to take... You taste more of the apple than the vinegar. Code dailyconnoisseur 5% off



⚜️Pinrose Perfume is a beautiful collection of delightful, non-toxic perfumes. You take a quiz to find which perfume is best suited to your tastes. I will do a dedicated review of all of the scents. I just ordered the sample set for this upcoming video. Code JSCOTT gives free shipping



⚜️Mirapur rose geranium essential oil is a beautifully scented essential oil that makes my homemade cleaning products smell like the Mrs. Meyer's Rose line. Another favorite of mine is their almond essential oil , which smells like the Method almond cleaner. Soooo good.



⚜️I love aprons and wear them everyday. For less messy work, I like wearing half-aprons so I can listen to my audio books with headphones while I work. Here are two great options: chambray half-apron and half-apron stripe.

On my nails: Vendetta by Londontown code JenniferS gives 25% off
SKYE Opale 18K gold freshwater pearl earrings code Jennifer20 for 20% off

I hope you enjoy today's video.

Comment of the Week
Toni Wadsworth writes, "We are in quarantine and have been playing the piano in the evenings. I inherited an antique grand Steinway from my great aunt who was a piano teacher. I promised to keep it in the family and never sell it. When we moved into our house which was built in 1830, many people suggested I not bring the piano because our house is only 12 feet wide and our piano is 8 feet wide. I did bring it of course and placed it in the front parlor where it looks and sounds so lovely. In our town if your house is over 100 years old, you can look up the history of the house at the local library. Not long after moving in, I researched the history of the house and discovered that the original home owners were married musicians who lived in the house from 1830-1870. He was a violinist and his wife was a vocalist. They performed in Alexandria, VA and Washington DC together. I feel that they would be pleased with our piano in the parlor. Pianos are no wider than many sofas. If you have little space as we do, your guests may sit at your piano bench and we have put 2 benches side by side. The children love to sit there!"


Toni, I loved your comment so much. How wonderful that you chose to keep the piano and enjoy it in your home. Thank you for letting us know!

Thank you for joining us for this edition of Connoisseur Reviews. I would love to know what you have discovered lately or if you have any requests for next month's review.
