0:00.0	As we work to care for ourselves and appreciate our own worth, we all deserve a touch of
0:05.3	elegance or even luxury from time to time. Yet treating ourselves can often feel like an
0:09.7	indulgence we should avoid. And that's why I was delighted to discover Quince, a brand that
0:14.8	marries luxury with affordability. Imagine slipping into a 100% Mongolian cashmere sweater for just $50 or dressing up in washable silk tops and dresses.
0:25.0	They also have organic cotton sweaters and even 14-carat gold jewelry.
0:29.9	And the best part is that all items are priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands.
0:35.7	How do they do it?
0:36.6	Well, Quintz partners directly with top factories
0:39.2	eliminating costly middlemen and passes those savings right back to us. Plus, they only work
0:45.1	with factories that uphold safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices using premium
0:50.3	materials. I personally love their silk blouses and cashmere sweaters. They've become
0:55.3	staples in my own wardrobe and I just feel so confident and comfortable and well cared for
1:00.2	when I'm wearing them. Give yourself the luxury you deserve with Quince. Visit quince.com
1:04.9	slash best of you for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns. That's Q-U-I-N-C-E.com slash Best of You to enjoy free shipping and

1:22.2	so early, I am so tempted to reach for a hot cup of comfort in the afternoons, which is why I'm so
1:28.7	grateful that I've discovered Organify Harmony. This delicious cacao and chocolate-flavored blend
1:33.9	gives me that afternoon comfort without causing harm to my body. It contains adaptogens and
1:38.9	12 superfood ingredients, including macca, cacao, stinging nettle, and turmeric to promote better balanced hormones.
1:46.5	And for the next two weeks only when you buy any two Organify products, you'll get Gold
1:51.7	Chocolate for free. This is a delicious zero-sugar hot cocoa that eases your body into a calm,
1:58.5	relaxed state and promotes recovery while you rest.
