The importance of getting a yearly Mammogram cannot be overstated.  Radiologists perform X-rays to detect any abnormalities in the breast and surrounding tissue. Abnormalities in the breast area come in the form of tumors which may be either benign or malignant, but can only be confirmed by a screening.

According to the American College of Radiology (ACR), screenings usually take less than 15 minutes and can help detect early signs of breast cancer. Early detection is crucial. If a tumor is spotted, early treatment allows for a greater chance of survival. Most doctors recommend starting mammography check-ups around the age of 45-50 years old and encourage women to continue scheduling annual mammograms afterward, even if there were no signs the year before.  

Where Can I Schedule a Mammogram? 

Health insurance plans almost always cover mammograms. You can schedule a mammogram through your regular healthcare provider, or search for local clinics offering the service. Check out some of these great providers; YWCA Encore Plus Programs,  Planned Parenthood Clinics, and American Cancer Society. The National Breast Cancer Foundation's National Mammography Program also offers free mammograms. To find the nearest in your area, click here. 

Make sure the clinic you visit is approved by the FDA. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration screens all facilities that offer mammograms to ensure machines used meet all health and safety codes.

There are so many gorgeous changes that fall brings, but our favorite might have to be the decadent desserts that dazzle our palate. Perfect to share with friends and family, these seasonal desserts are a great way to celebrate the sweater weather. 

The Changing Leaves

Rum-Glazed Sweet Potato Cakes

Try to imagine every fall flavor blended into one, and you might get close to this scrumptious dessert. Spicy, sweet, perfection.

Brr…Tea Please!

Triple Gingersnappers

We all know the tell-tale signs that fall has officially arrived. We greet our friends clothed in scarfs and decorate our homes with woven quilts. For us, fall feels most familiar when we sit with our friends enjoying a steaming cup of chai and sharing tales of our summer fun. What better way to nestle into Fall than by pairing your sweet chai with these delectable Gingersnap Cookies? Exactly.

The Pumpkin Harvest

Caramel-Pecan Pumpkin Bread Puddings

Nothing feels more like fall than seeing bright pumpkins decorate storefronts and gorgeous orange candles light up the room.

Nuts for The Season

Praline-Apple Bread

Fall brings all sorts of goodies for us to enjoy, including the bold flavors of delicious pecans whose harvest begins in September and lasts till November. Take advantage of these precious gifts while they are in season and try out this incredible Praline-Apple bread.

  A few extra no-bake treats to satisfy your tweet tooth – on the go.

No-Bake Espresso Cremes Brulees

Looking to indulge in a cool caffeinated treat? This smooth espresso crème will have you wondering why this heavenly concoction wasn’t on your radar before. Sweet, creamy and topped with the perfect layer of burnt sugar, what more could we ask for? Ah..the stuff of dreams.

Lemon Ginger Icebox Cake

Tangy with just the right touch of spice, this icebox cake combines the zesty zing of fresh lemon curd with the rich coolness of cream cheese. All in under 20 min? Yes please.

Ah... Willow. The epitome of serenity and inner peace. Here are some of our favorite ways to layer this dreamy "tranquility in a bottle" scent. 

Isle + Willow = Isle is creamy and versatile, and when layered with a woodsy scent like Willow, it softens the green top note and creates a luscious, easy to wear scent that is never overpowering, and great for day or night. We recommend spritzing Isle and keeping a Willow Rollie with you for pulse point application throughout the day.



Capri + Willow =  We LOVE juxtapositions. The fresh, citrusy pop of Capri plays well with the green woodiness of Willow. Playful yet grounded, the perfect pairing for jeans and a tee-shirt kind of weekend.

Arrow + Willow = The subtle romantic florals of Arrow, Rose, and Jasmin, add a beautifully feminine twist – the soft patchouli of Arrow is the perfect complement to the benzoin and fir balsam in Willow. It's the perfect fall woody floral. Sensual and fresh at the same time. Love!

1. Yellowstone National Park : Escape busy crowds, unplug, and enjoy everything that awakens your inner explorer. Don’t worry ladies we don’t expect you to completely turn a getaway into a Lewis & Clark expedition, but we totally encourage adventure by taking a scenic float down the river or sit anticipate the geyser, Old Faithful, erupt multiple times a day. Trade the carpool lane for Yellowstone’s Sapphire Pool at Biscuit Basin and admire the bright blue water.. Don’t forget to pack binoculars to keep your eye out for bison, elk, coyotes, and all the rest of wild life the lush fields of Hayden Valley have to offer.
2. Denver, CO: Pack your hiking shoes, some heels, and your Skylar perfume in your carry-on bag and go on a quick adventure to Denver. This underrated city not only offers nature, but great food and nightlife. The best part is being able to pack it all in one day. Start the morning by taking a hike to the hot springs. Spritz on Willow, and head to a Rockie’s game and enjoy the field from The Rooftop at Coor’s field (Make sure to give yourself extra time like a true local to buy a $3 Coor’s before first pitch and get compliments on this “got to have” signature scent). After the game finishes, stroll around the city’s streets and pop into one of the local breweries. Enjoy a city panoramic view at dinner El Five. To top off the night open a bookcase and enter Williams & Graham, a prohibition-era speakeasy and turn back the hands of time.
3. Lake Tahoe: Nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Lake Tahoe is the perfect place to plan a getaway with girlfriends.  Without the snow, explore the popular ski resorts-turned summer hiking destinations. Take a car ride around the lake and don’t forget to pull off for a photo-opp. Make sure to wash your worries away and take a dip in water for a perfect mid-afternoon splash. To kick up adrenaline up a notch, soar high in the sky while going parasailing to get the true bird’s eye view of what Tahoe has to offer. If you’re looking for something calmer, take a moment to go back in history at the Donner Pass museum followed by a tasty treat in Truckee. It may have been much easier to strike gold here in the past, but after an adventure here with your friends you will see your memories are priceless.
4. Big Sky, MT: Being a true Skylar gal, we know the sky’s the limit. To remind you how big the world is, and how much it has to offer take a quick trip to Big Sky. Not only do we love clean scents at Skylar, we love fresh air and R&R. Pack a picnic, a blanket, and your favorite sunnies and head off the “treasure state.” Bring yourself back to childhood and lose yourself in the clouds. Ignore TLC’S advice and take a short one mile hike to go chasin’ waterfalls- Ousel Falls is perfect for a solo, group, or even family mid-day adventure. Laugh, smile, and remember that the hills are alive with the sound of music. Pick your favorite flowers of the day along a walk and create the perfect-picture flower crown to capture your pure bliss.
5. Martha’s Vineyard, MA- If you still want to enjoy the last days of summer with a beach retreat, don’t worry Skylar gal, we’ve got the perfect place for you. Take a quick ferry ride off the coast of Massachusetts and enjoy and island retreat. Escape the mainland and let the salt air rejuvenate you. Walk through a Japanese-style garden, Mytoi, hidden in an open pine forest. Take a tour of the various lighthouses via a beach cruiser and snap your most wanderlust photo- just don’t let that Skylar rollie fall out of your back pocket. Sneak off to catch some zzz’s under a shaded tree and listen to the shore break. As the day winds down, soak in the moment and enjoy a beach side stroll at sunset. Of course, don’t forget to feel like a true Martha’s Vineyard gal- treat yourself to a fresh waffle cone topped with delicious ice cream, because even when enjoying nature we can all still enjoy a sweet treat.

We can't wait to go on adventures with you.
