Mondays Are More Fun with Avara!

Are you ready for a whole new adventure here at Make Life Marvelous?

 

I am so excited to share with you that I am an Avara Ambassador! A huge thanks to Carrie from Curly Crafty Mom for recommending their program to me!

 

I received their welcome package literally at the speed of light late last week. The pieces they sent me were packaged with care and included such a sweet card welcoming me into their Ambassador program.

 

Kyle was so kind to take these photos for me on Saturday morning, and I grabbed an iced Ambrosia (secret recipe from my favorite local coffee shop) for fuel.

 

Mondays Are More Fun with Avara!

Avara sent me two beautiful pieces from their collection: Mamie Sweater in pink (an Avara exclusive!) and Becca Jeans. Both of these make the perfect combination for a fun Valentine’s Day look!

 

Avara look

I added a pair of black ballet flats, my Kate Spade dupe from TJ Maxx that has a pretty chain strap that reminded me of the pattern on my sweater, and my ladybug charm bracelet from Alex and Ani (a beautiful surprise Christmas gift from a friend – thanks Crystal!).

 

Avara Lake White

Avara photos

Both the sweater and jeans are super comfortable and fit me true to size. I’m wearing a size small for the sweater and size 27 (5) for the jeans.

 

I love pieces that can be worn for holidays and beyond, and these definitely check those boxes!

 

Avara PIN

You can use my discount code MAKELIFEMARVELOUS15 to take 15% off! This code can also be used at checkout for any other pieces you love that are not currently on sale!

 

Speaking of sale, Avara is currently having a super sale on their beautiful Valentine’s Day collection – you can snag their V-Day goodies for 30% off with this link!

 

That’s a wrap on my Avara post, sweet friends! I truly hope you enjoyed this collaboration today, please let me know in the comments and if you’ve bought anything from Avara before!

    You are quite the model! Love this entire post and Kyle was SO sweet to take your photos. I’m always incredibly thankful for Brian’s help. I love that sweater on you, the color goes perfect with you and I love the chain pattern. It’s perfect for V-Day and the early Spring when it is still cold. If I ever come out your way, I need to try that Ambrosia coffee!!!

I’ve been using the @theinia_official Flare device and one of my favorite benefits is how it supports lymphatic drainage, which helps reduce puffiness, redness, and that tired look we all get sometimes.

It’s a simple, relaxing step yet makes such a big difference in how my skin feels and looks:
❤️ Less puffiness
🧡 More sculpted, refreshed look
💛 A little moment of self-care in my day

I love using it a few times per week or before getting ready when I want that extra glow! ✨
