March 2020 VIP BOX Sneak Peek…

20 02 2020

Live Life in Full Bloom!

Adrian’s MARCH 2020 VIP BOX

Our MARCH VIP BOX has come together beautifully and we can’t wait to start the building process on this month’s boxes! This bright and cheerful box will be filled with goodies that will make anyone stop and smile! We have been working on this one for months and know it will be a great gift to give, or keep as a special treat for yourself!

Each positive and uplifting VIP BOX is filled with $60+ in hand curated products that will include a mix of seasonal items, home decor, bath and spa items, gourmet goodies and fashion accessories. Just $35/month for Subscribers (3 consecutive month minimum) or $42 as a one time gift. Shipping is just $8 anywhere in the US.

We are down to waiting for just one item for this month’s box, but do have a sample box to show you! This month’s theme is “Live Life in Full Bloom” and it is so bright and cheerful…perfect to brighten up your winter days!

Adrian’s March 2020 VIP Box

Our March VIP BOX has an aquamarine and coral color combination going on and it is so fresh and cheerful! I absolutely LOVE the tissue paper for this box and you might want to pull it out and use it to wrap another gift. 🙂

Some of the goodies include an awesome Turbo Towel that makes drying your hair quick and easy! The beautiful aqua color is flattering to any skin tone and keeps your hair out of your face while applying makeup, etc.

Other bath/spa items include our popular Shower Burst which you use while showering. Not only does it give your shower a fabulous fragrance, we’ve chosen the Cold & Flu Buster formula to help clear your nasal passages. It is one of my favorites!!!

Another bath and spa goodie is our Dionis Natural Goat Milk hand cream in the Blue Ridge Wildflower fragrance. Keep this in your purse for dry, cracked winter hands. It’s natural goat milk formula is magical to keep hands healthy!

We’ve also included a snap close case that you can use for medications, or it makes a great travel case for your earrings when you travel. This is such a handy little gadget!

Our gourmet item this month is our very refreshing Tropical Orange Dip & Dessert Mix. Serve as a dip with fresh fruit and cookies or make as a light as air pie in a graham cracker crust. We liked the idea of oranges in winter…so tasty!

Next we have a fragrant Honey Pecan candle in a really cute coral colored pottery bowl. You can use this to give your home a warm and comfortable feel this winter.

Our final item this month is the one that inspired the box… Our “Live Life in Full Bloom” decor item. Sometimes we need a reminder to CHOOSE to live life in a positive, robust, all-in, no holds barred, go-for-it manner! I think winter can be dark and depressing at times, and we need that reminder to just GO FOR IT! Living in “Full Bloom” means to embrace new experiences, get out of the house, read a new author, invite a new co-worker to lunch, learn something new, and choose to BLOOM wherever you are planted.

PS… To inspire you that SPRING really is on it’s way, we’ve also included a little packet of seeds. Even though I don’t have a green thumb, and generally kill anything I plant, at THIS time of year, I look through the home and garden magazines and think that maybe, just maybe, THIS will be the year that I have a garden filled with flowers.

The reality is that I’m doing good to keep a couple of pots of flowers alive by the front door… but I can dream!

Thank you for being a part of our VIP Gift Box Subscription Club. We APPRECIATE your business and hope you are using these boxes to bless those around you, or those far away. ‘Til next time…

Ask the Experts: 18 Trends, Tips & Tricks for Winter 2018

5 01 2018

 

Screenshot 2018-01-05 13.52.19This week, The Hutchinson News featured an article that highlights 18 Trends, Tips & Tricks for Winter 2018 by none other than long-time Adrian’s Boutique owner, Vicki Adrian. (Me!)  I thought some of our customers that are out of the area might want to read it, so here you go!

Ready or not, 2018 is here, and Vicki Adrian, owner of Adrians Boutique in Buhler has some insights to help you enjoy the winter season. This year it’s all about comfort, and whether you’re refreshing your home after packing away the tinsel and garland, doing a closet purge, or cooking a favorite cold weather soup, comfort is king this winter!

Screenshot 2018-01-05 13.54.25FASHION TRENDS

  1. January Clearance Sales are on, and it’s a great time to pick up some new accessories to perk up your existing cold weather outfits.
  2. Silver is making a comeback after a few seasons that have been all about gold jewelry. Time to bring back some of your favorites or shop for a couple of new statement pieces.
  3. According to Vogue Magazine, Denim is definitely back in style. From jackets to jeans and handbags, you’ll see denim all the way from winter into spring.
  4. Cozy Knits – the softer and more textured the better. Now is the time to layer soft tees with fuzzy sweaters, vests and jackets.
  5. Get “outside the box” and purchase one outfit that is a bit of a stretch for you. We don’t mean to go W-A-Y outside the box, just a couple of steps. Maybe try some leggings with boots and a tunic.
  6. Turquoise rarely goes out of style, as almost every skin color looks good in this color, but this winter it is front and center. Pick up a fun scarf or piece of jewelry that highlights this beautiful color.

Screenshot 2018-01-05 13.54.34A WARM WELCOME HOME

  1. In today’s hectic world, home needs to become an escape from everyday stresses, digital overload, and harried lifestyles. Establish cozy nooks within your home that include plenty of soft blankets, a lamp and a welcome place to just chill out and relax.
  2. Plan a family game night once a week through the winter. Whether you have little kids or are empty nesters, winter is a great time to unplug the technology and enjoy each other’s company.
  3. Brighten up your home with several candles (flameless or traditional) to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere during the long winter evenings.
  4. Lose the chemicals and clean your home using just water. We have sold the e-Cloth* line for many years, and with it, you can clean anything in you home using just water. You’ll get amazing results!
  5. Clean out one closet or cabinet each week this winter. This will give you a sense of accomplishment and a great head start for the traditional Spring Cleaning.
  6. Plan some down time to cozy up and read a good book. Visit your local            library and check out a book or two by a new author.

Screenshot 2018-01-05 14.01.49HEALTHY LIVING

  1. Eat at Home. Plan to have soup simmering on the stove or in the slow cooker a couple of nights each week. Check out Adrian’s Recipe Blog at AdriansBoutique.com for some delicious recipes shared by our clients.
  2. It gets so dry here in Kansas during the winter, and our skin can really suffer. Make sure you are keeping your skin hydrated by using natural products such as The Naked Bee’s* body lotion.
  3. Get some exercise! Buhler residents are blessed to have our brand new Buhler Wellness Center, but there are many other places to get your body moving in our area.
  4. Spend time with friends and family. The human connection can be the best cure for the winter blues. Use FaceTime to stay connected to loved ones who are farther away.
  5. If the budget allows, book a hotel with an indoor pool for a winter weekend getaway. A change of scenery is always good!
  6. Bundle up and get out and about this winter. Visit a museum, shop your local stores, take your dog for a walk or meet a friend for coffee.

4.  Make one of our delicious Cheeseballs by simply adding one of our Cheeseball Mixes to softened cream cheese. So easy! We rolled this one in dried cranberries to fancy it up just a bit, but they each come with their own topping right in the package! (Dozens available at Adrians).

5.  I made these “Tortellini Skewers” from a Pioneer Woman recipe to take to our Christmas gathering at my sister’s home in Olathe, Kansas. They are super easy to make and you can definitely make them ahead of time.  You do have to cook the tortellini, but that is not too difficult! Click HERE for Tortellini Skewer Recipe.

What we didn’t foresee is the impact this collection would have on others or how it would become a catalyst for meaningful, productive and sometimes very personal conversations.”
~Founder, Julie Marie Chavez
