5 Clean Skincare Products I Use Every Morning (Yuka Approved)

I love skincare. I always have.

I love the ritual of it, the science behind it, the way great skin makes you feel confident before you have even applied a stitch of makeup. I love knowing that what I am putting on my face is not only effective, but thoughtfully formulated.

Stylish. Strong. Smart. My Honest Level8 Luggage Review

Christmas came early to The SavvyBostonian HQ! The doorbell rang, and two beautifully boxed Level8 carry-on suitcases appeared on my doorstep. It was the perfect excuse for an honest Level8 luggage review after my last carry-on lost a wheel in Birmingham.

Level8 kindly gifted me two of their best-selling models — the Luminous Textured Carry-On 20″ and the Road Runner Carry-On 20″ — to share a review here on the blog. I selected these two, as the Road Runner model has a front compartment for your laptop, while the Luminous Textured model is a similar to the carry-on that I previously had. Depending on the type of trip I’m on, I thought having one of each style carry-on would be beneficial. But, let’s get more into that in my review!
