The last time we seriously played sports was probably in a middle school P.E. class. But after hearing that a few of our coworkers have joined adult sports leagues—playing fun childhood standbys like dodge-ball, kickball, and softball—we’re thinking we should get back into it. What better way to break a sweat while having a blast with some friends? If you have a great adult team experience, please share in the comments! We’d love to find out more! Team JMC has a nice ring to it…

Valentine’s Day means a little bit more to me since I became a mom. I now think about it as a day to celebrate all the great loves of my life—my daughters, my husband, my parents and special friends. I want to show everyone how special they are to me! So if you haven’t found your love match yet, don't dread the day! Think about focusing on all the other people you love—or even showing yourself a little well-deserved affection. I like to put together little hand-made valentines for those who mean the most to me. Here are some of my favorite V-day finds from Etsy to inspire you for Feb 14.
Wishing you love of all kinds,
Josie
Hi Beauties!
Your response to my new Argan Infinity Intensive Creamy Oil has been huge! I’m so glad that so many of you are just as in love with it as I am. To help you get to know your new little Argan miracle, I thought I’d share with you some of my favorite ways to use this multi-tasker. Dewy beauty, here we come!
Dewy, Glowy Skin: Infinity Cream makes your skin look instantly dewy on its own. But one of my favorite ways to bump up the glow factor is by mixing a little bit of Infinity Cream with my Argan Powder Illuminzer. The Infinity Cream actually transforms powder products into creamy oils. Apply a little bit of the mixture to your cheekbones, browbones, and down the bridge of your nose. You’ll look like a glowy angel!
Give Delicate Skin Some Love: The skin under your eyes is some of the most delicate on your body. It needs extra love, care, and hydration. I take a tiny pea-sized amount of Infinity Cream and apply it to my under eye area before I go to bed. When I wake up, my skin looks so much plumper!
No More Crazy Hairs We all get them. Those crazy wispy hairs coming from our hairline or eyebrows that just won’t stay down. Infinity Cream is my quick fix for those pesky hairs. Just warm a little bit of Infinity Cream between your fingers, and use it to smooth over your eyebrows or calm those baby hairs.
Infinity Cream has a million more uses like renewing shine on a week-old manicure, or making a great lip scrub when mixed with sugar. Do you have a unique way that you love to use yours? Tell me in the comments and if I love it, I might pick you to win something special!
Xo,
Josie

While we love using our fingers to apply much of our makeup, there are times when a good brush just can’t be beat. To keep things eco and animal friendly, we prefer cruelty-free synthetic bristles and handles made from sustainable resources like bamboo. But believe it or not, even the most earth-friendly brushes can become a hotbed for bacteria if they aren’t cared for properly. If you use your brushes every day, you should be washing them at least once a week to prevent build up of dirt, makeup, and germs. Here’s our favorite routine for keeping things clean.

Meredith is so much more than just our Director of Words—she’s a sassy, fun, and fab addition to our tight-knit JMC family. And speaking of family, Meredith is Josie’s aunt; those Maran girls have really got it going on in the beauty AND brains department. We are secretly obsessed with Meredith’s natural beauty, especially her perfectly sunkissed skin tone. Can you believe she’s 61? When we sat down with our resident writing guru to get her inside tips on her skincare routine, we were taking notes! Here’s Mer’s regimen for aging gracefully and gorgeously, including a sneak peek of two brand new products available next week on josiemarancosmetics.com!
While we can't confess to being pro sports fanatics, we’re still look forward to the Superbowl for the jazzy halftime show, hilarious new ads, good times with family and friends—oh and the food! We’re feeling like spicing things up a little this year—moving beyond the usual buffalo wings and chips and dip offerings. Check out our culinary plans for Superbowl Sunday. And tell us, what’s your favorite game-day treat?
Hi Lovelies!
I have to tell you, this weekend was a blast! I had a super secret photo shoot for an upcoming collection (details to come, I promise), and got to meet and play with a bunch of furry friends from Much Love Animal Rescue. These dogs were just the sweetest—everyone at the shoot was snuggling and getting some very slobbery kisses all day. Meeting these extraordinary animals made me realize even more how beautiful it is to give an animal in need the loving and safe home that they crave. If you’re ready to give an animal a forever home, consider rescuing! The compassion that you show will be repaid tenfold with the unconditional love of a loyal companion.
With love for second chances,
Josie
With a BFA in textiles from Rhode Island School of Design, and a degree in handbag and accessory design, Jess Rizzuti knows handbags. But instead of becoming yet another chic but not-so-eco handbag designer, Jess put her knowledge to good use for people and the planet. The designer’s eponymous handbag line employs eco-friendly practices like the use of water-based dyes and glues, heat-transferred patterns, and renewable resources like cork. Rizzuti also supports female artisans in Kenya and Guatemala—incorporating some of their custom textiles into her line. Check out Jess’s site for more carefully crafted carriers; the cork bags are our fave!
