It’s 2019, and we have the world at our fingertips. With that comes a little too much knowledge, especially when it comes to the things that can cause our bodies harm. It’s hard to not to be scared of everything we’re seeing, but the best you can do is change one day at a time. Over the past few years, I’ve heard a lot about the food industry and what the harmful chemicals we consume on a daily basis can do to our bodies. Because I’m gluten-free, I’m already mindful of the ingredients that I’m ingesting, and I find myself eating more clean as a result. I rarely buy anything that isn’t organic, and I try and keep the processed food to a minimum (when it comes to eating at home).
Winter Skincare Routine
Skincare is something I try and take very seriously, while using as minimal product as possible. Depending on the time of year (especially how much humidity is in the air), my routine switches up. I have combo-dry skin, so this will not work for all skin types. Here is what I do in the winter/dry months:
50 Shades of Charcoal
I feel like activated charcoal is really one of those bandwagons everyone has been hopping on – and I now completely understand why! It is naturally detoxifying and has been around for ages. I’ve seen products ranging from skin care to teeth whitening to even juices with charcoal in them?! Clearly, activated charcoal is a pretty versatile ingredient.
December POTM
Can I just ask one quick question: WHERE THE HECK DID 2017 GO?!?! I can’t believe it’s already December. I don’t even want to think about all the Christmas shopping I haven’t started but have to do…
October POTM
Hi, everyone! So, I’m a little behind here, but I wanted to talk about my Product of the Month (POTM) pick for October! This month’s pick is my newest favorite shampoo:
September POTM
Happy Friday! Since I haven’t really had a huge focus on the “beauty” portion of my blog, I have decided to start doing ‘Product of the Month’ posts! This month’s focus is on my newest facial cleanser:
Holiday Nails
For being someone who ADORES doing my nails, I never actually have time to do my nails. I love trying out new designs and looking up tutorials online, but I feel like I never am able to find time in the day to set aside to do one of my most relaxing activities. Such a shame, right?! Well, I managed to find time (aka when I should’ve been studying for a final – do as I say, not as I do, please!!) and came up with this cute look!
Auburn Lips
Can I just say… T G I F? I feel like this has just been one of those weeks for everyone. So, let’s raise our glasses to the weekend and push those bad vibes back in our book bags!
