Alex Haines | Her favorites From Switch2Pure

Hi there, I’m Alexandra Haines, a lifestyle blogger from Houston, Texas. A sports broadcast major turned fashion blogger, I’m the founder and editor of AdoredbyAlex.com. For over nine years I’ve chronicled my life within the realms of style, travel and other aspects of my personal life. I love designer finds but also am happiest wearing leggings and watching cooking shows. I’m married to my best friend, Rick, and a dog mom to our Goldendoodle Puppy, Sadie.

Why did you make the switch?

A few years ago, I read a magazine article about the variety of toxic ingredients found in everyday products, and since then I’ve been on a journey to switch my beauty, skincare and household products to cleaner alternatives. It hasn’t been easy, with a lot of trial and error, but it’s amazing how the market has expanded with a variety of options available that are comparable, if not better, to the toxic products I used to use.

Who is your favorite influencer or source?

I’m always on the hunt for inspiration, whether it be flipping through magazines, my grandmother loved Veranda and has a collection of old issues, traveling (before everything shutdown) or simply scrolling through Pinterest. I also find tons of inspiration for my life and style via spending time outdoors and AWAY from scrolling on my phone or computer!

Fave fashion statement or pieces?

I treasure my Hermes scarves gifted to me by my late-grandmother, my designer shoe and bag collection, and my engagement ring, which is made up of diamonds from my mother-in-law’s wedding ring. Unfortunately, she passed away prior to our wedding and it means the world to have a special piece from her with me at all times.

Fave vacation spot?

The beach! Specifically the British Virgin Islands or Maui.

Fave Switch2Pure skincare items?

The Switch2Pure Bright + Shine Gel Cleanser - it really works! And totally tamed my unruly stress breakouts.
