The Select FileS

Consider these Files a distillation of years, days, months and hours spent researching, searching, tagging, pinning, asking for information and giving recommendations. They are your resource for all things beauty and fashion, your online travel guides, social guides, holiday catalog, life coach, design consultant and anything else in your life that might benefit from an exchange of thoughts and information.

The world is big and life is a work in progress. And these are just my 7 cents.

FASHION | THE COLD SHOULDER

July 11, 2016/ The Select 7

I know, I know. There are now 1,000,000 off the shoulder top and dress options out there. But I bet none of them are as cute this one from ASOS. Because guess what? It's $25. Not kidding. And you're welcome.

Food and travel are, as you, know, two of my most favorite things. So naturally I was curious to know what a world famous chef might take on the road with her when she goes. Needless to say, I'm took notes and you should, too. Because @nyeshajoyce has some awesome tips. || http://liketk.it/2vOYb #liketkit @liketoknow.it || #sundaySELECT #theselectset #theselectsetsunday #onsundaysweshare #theselect7 #linkinbio // 📷 by @mediumraw_ //

MEET | AMANDA CHANTAL BACON
Featured 5.14-5.20.18 | Could you imagine what life would be like if fairy dust was an actual thing? If you could sprinkle some on your morning açai bowl, or maybe add it to a smoothie, or if you're like this week's guest, make ice cream with it? Wouldn't the world be a shinier and more sparkly place? Sadly, fairy dust doesn't actually exist, but @amandachantalbacon has done us one better: she created Sex Dust. And Beauty Dust. And Brain Dust. And Power Dust. And a whole bunch of other amazing potions that actually do make the world a shinier and more sparkly place. Not surprising coming from a woman who suffered a childhood illness that was cured by — you guessed it — Eastern medicine. So she did what any believer would: she hit the road, headed for Asia and brought her findings back for all of us to benefit from in the form of her company, @moonjuice a resource for all things healing, elevating and nourishing. And that's how magic gets made. Today, the former Kindergarten teacher continues to spread light, love and good vibes through all that she creates, and while she'll never give up life's great indulgences (like ice cream), she'll always make sure it's sprinkled with a little something extra. Welcome to Amanda's week. Her #randomact is pretty special, too: @kisstheground. #mondaymotivation #mondaySELECT #moonjuice #onepersonsevendays #theselectguest #theselect7 #linkinbio // 📸 by @metiercreative for @theselect7 //

Introducing @amandachantalbacon of @moonjuice.

Happy Mother's Day to EVERYONE out there. Whether you are a mother, you have a mother or you lost a mother, let's celebrate the strength and power of all women. Being a mother means a million different things to a million different people, but the one thing that remains constant is that motherhood, in any form, is about unconditional, soul-shaking, sometimes excruciating love. So please take a moment today to send some love to any woman who has been a mother to you in any way, because without mommas, where would we all be? And a very special shout out to my own mom, @blackandgray123.💓💓#mothersday #happymothersday #sundaySELECT #onsundaysweshare #theselect7

Skincare. Can't live with it, can't live without it, right? Find the right regimen and you're glowing like nobody's business. Make one misstep and suffer the consequences of less than stellar skin. So being that it's such risky business, we thought it only wise to seek the advice of @jgczech, esthetician extraordinaire, to see what she thinks are the 7 skincare products you shouldn't live without. Get ready to get glowing. || http://liketk.it/2vJCT #liketkit @liketoknow.it || #sundaySELECT #theselectset #joannaczech #theselectsetsunday #onsundaysweshare #theselect7 #linkinbio

As fashion weeks have concluded, and fashion’s biggest night of the year came clad in stained glass dresses and headwear inspired by the heavens, it’s clear that this season is about rebirthing Catholicism as we know it. It’s a modern day Renaissance, but is there really room for corsets and castles IRL? We say yes. Tap the link and read all about the ways you can incorporate Renaissance living into your modern-day life. #fridayfashion #fridayselect #theselectfiles #theselect7 #linkinbio // 💻 by @kpilosof for @theselect7 //

What’s the first thing you think of when someone says Buenos Aires? Evita. The second? Tango. The third? Meat. Am I right? What’s probably NOT on the list of top 10 things you think of when you think of Buenos Aires is vegetables. In fact, all of Argentina is known for its beef, with yearly consumption estimated at 55 kg per person. Per person. That’s 121.254 POUNDS. And livestock farmers keep an average of 50-55 million head of cattle, making the country the third largest exporter of beef on the planet. So ya, vegetables? Hardly.
But here’s the surprise: Buenos Aires has not only gotten hip to the fact that people need their greens, they’ve jumped on the veggie train with the same passion and precision they have long reserved for their more meat-centric recipes. So here’s what I did: I challenged myself to find 7 Vegetable Dishes that would make me forget about meat. Or at least not eat it at EVERY meal. And I was more than successful, finding dish after dish in restaurant after restaurant that fit the bill, and in some cases, made me consider life without beef (it was fleeting, though, obviously). And then I wrote down my findings and gave them to the new and supercool travel site, @the.glassy, where you can read all about 7 of the spots that made me swoon with their plant-based dishes. Enjoy the read! #travelthursday #thursdayselect #theselectcities #theselectfiles #theselect7 #linkinbio
