Last week I mixed up my morning routine and checked out Morning Gloryville with the St. Ives team before heading into the office. Morning Gloryville is a “wellness rave” that’s all about getting you energized and ready for the day ahead with yoga, massages, a DJ and a full on dance party. After hearing quite a bit about this morning rave trend I was intrigued and excited to check it out for myself – did people really want to dance their butts off at 6:30 AM? It turns out the answer is yes, lots of people do! Morning Gloryville was packed full of people and while I stuck to the yoga and massage, the energy of the dance floor was contagious and it was the perfect way to de-dullify my morning routine.

St. Ives had refresh stations set up throughout the event for attendees to freshen up after hitting the dance floor and I was excited to check out a few of their new products. I’ve been a long-time fan of the brand’s classic Apricot Scrub (my mom always had it in the shower growing up!) and love St. Ives‘ use of 100% natural moisturizers and exfoliants in all of their products. Since checking out Morning Gloryville I’ve been in treat yoself mode thanks to my new St. Ives goodies. My newest favorites? The Oatmeal Scrub + Mask (perfect for dry fall skin!) and the Pear Nectar and Soy body lotion (use post-shave for the smoothest legs around).

Have you ever gone to a “morning rave” like Morning Gloryville? Anyone else been obsessed with St. Ives for years & years?
