My Skin Care Routine



I have been trying to get a lot better at taking care of my skin. I realize I’m 23.. aging is real.. the sun is realer (lol) + I’m sick of always wearing makeup. I want my skin to breathe… take away all the acne scarring I have from picking my middle school acne face like a two year old picks his nose. Also, I want my makeup to sit better on my skin and last longer.

So I went on the hunt for a GREAT skincare routine.
I’ve learned that investing in skincare is one of the best things you can do for yourself. It’s sooo worth it. I have seen such a transformation in my skin the past few months since I have started this process. 

Also, everyone’s skin is different and needs different things and this is the process that works for me. I have always used products targeted towards oily skin bc I thought my skin was oily, but once I started using regular products for the skin my face wasn’t as oily anymore. I’ve never been the one to be all about natural products and cautious of the products I put in my body. I know that sounds bad, but it has never been on my radar. When I do see products that are more natural, it has started peaking my interest. This skincare has been some of the first natural products I have incorporated into my life. I’m a major supporter of this line.


+ to preface… these products are expensive, I know. I’m on a budget. 
However, they work.. like really work + they last soooo long bc you don’t need much product.
It’s cheaper than botox later on.


I start by taking my makeup off with Garnier Micellar Water. I love this stuff, it is so refreshing! 

Next, I cleanse my skin with the jelly cleanser. 

Dab my face with a dry wash cloth. I don’t rub.. just dab.

Morning:
I use the Vitamin C Day Serum
I press this product into my skin as well… not rubbing it in.

Night:
I use the Glycolic Night Serum two to three nights a week.
Again, I press into skin and not rub my face with it.

After the serums, I press with my ring finger the eye cream under and around my eyes.

I top my routine off with the polypeptide cream to moisturize my skin.

I wish I would have taken before and after pictures of my skin before using this product, but I had no idea how much it was going to transform my skin.

Since it is such a pricey product line… I recommend starting off with this kit. That way you can try the products before hand. That is what I did.


Lmk what questions y’all have about these products and I will do my best to answer them!!!

#WeddingWednesday Guest Dresses

It’s 60% off right now!!!!
I seem to always have such a hard time looking for dresses to wear to weddings… but this year I’ve found so many beautiful dresses for weddings and I don’t have any to go to this summer! I’ve linked a variety of different dresses depending on the wedding you’re going to. I love wearing maxi dresses to weddings because they are so comfy and they make it perfect to wear flats and sandals to if there will be a lot of dancing.

I’ve also been loving midi dresses lately with a smaller block heel like these.
These shoes are some of the best $24 I have ever spent. They are so comfy and look much fancier than they are.

And shorter dresses look perfect with a comfy wedge. These are a pair I invested in 3 years ago and they are worth every penny. I’ve tried the knock offs of these and I do not recommend. Rarely will I tell you all to splurge unless it’s necessary!

Obvi I go for comfort when planning my outfits lol
Midi dresses



Maxi Dresses

Shorter Dresses
#3 50% off!!

I hope this post has been helpful for you all (: Lmk what you love, don’t love and your fav pieces to wear to weddings!

XOXO,

Weekly Update #10

Hey Hey Friends!!

Shop this outfit

Long time no talk. I didn’t post a weekly update last week because I took the day to celebrate Memorial Day with my family at the pool. So it’s been a hot minute since my last post. I feel like it is so important to take time to enjoy life and not be on a constant schedule. When I put the pressure on myself to post x many times a week, it becomes less fun. I want to continue to post when I want to. does that make sense?
