Skincare Routine

When it comes to skincare we all have different products that work best for your skin type. The products below are what work best for my skin type. I have very oily, sensitive skin. I use a three-step process by Neutrogena. 

The first thing I do is wash my face with the Oil-Free Acne Stress Control. Being in college there is a lot of stress that comes with finishing projects, studying for tests and making time for leisure activity. This product contains green tea and cucumber which helps with reducing the redness and irritation that comes with acne.

The next product I use is the Rapid Clear Treatment Pads. This product helps to reduce breakouts and stop emerging breakouts. This product is amazing. Use the pad right before going to sleep and you will wake up with reduced pimple size as well as the disappearance of pimples. I love the pads but because the contain salicylic acid you need to put a moisturizer on after. Which leads me to my third step.

The last step is to put on a layer of moisturizer. I use one full pump to cover my whole face. Since I have sensitive skin I have to use a moisturizer that is super light weight. 

I use these three products in the morning and at night. Like I mentioned in my first paragraph, everyone has a different skin type. Below is a link to Neutrogena to help you figure out what skincare products work best for you.

Being Single on Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day, it is an interesting concept. Buying candy for your significant other, going on dates and doing things special are all aspects of what signifies a great Valentine's Day. So what do you do when you are single?

Here are some things I like to do on Valentine's Day:

Since Valentine's Day is all about love. Send a gift to a family member or friend to let them know how much you appreciate them.

Go out with friends. Cook a meal, go see a movie, or throw a singles party.

Or stay in. Eat ice cream, watch a chick flick or order in.

Or just do nothing. Sleep all day.

Just make Valentine's Day the one day where it is all about you. You do not need another person to make you happy. Always remember that there is someone out there who loves and cares about you.

What are some things you like to do on Valentine's Day?

Travel Diary: Miami

My friend came down from Michigan and we all explored the city of Miami. Since I currently go to the University of Miami I have plenty of opportunities to go explore Miami but it is so much more fun when you explore with your friends. We visited Bayfront Park, Wynwood, went to a University of Miami basketball game and Coconut Grove. Enjoy these awesome pictures from this trip. Photo cred goes to Irvenie, Edlyn, and Emily.

This was one of the best trips I have had around Miami in a long time. I cannot wait to go on more adventures with these lovely people.

January Favorites 2017

I cannot believe it is already the end of January. It seems as if each year keeps getting shorter and shorter. I wanted to share some of my favorites for this month and maybe they will become one of your favorites for the next month.

My first favorite is this gorgeous purplish-red color by Sally Hansen. The color is Pep-Plum number 529 | 230. If you love to wear dark shades (I know I do), it becomes a great pop of color. If you love wearing pastels, it still becomes a great pop of color. Overall this wonderful color by Sally Hansen is a great pop of color.

My next favorite is Burt's Bees chapstick wild cherry flavor. Burt's Bees is a great brand of chapstick that keeps my lips moisturized for hours.

Moving on to what I have been listening to on repeat in January. Ed Sheeran is finally back and his song Castle On The Hill is everything. I have no more words than that; just go give it a listen.

Another song I am currently loving is by the amazing girl group Little Mix. The song is Touch. The lyrics are fun, the vocals are amazing, once again I highly recommend.

So next is Sweet Pea Body Cream. This is one of my favorite fragrances it is a floral scent but isn't too overpowering. Bath & Body Works has body cream with many different fragrances. So if you are not into floral scents there are others to try.

Face masks, face masks, face masks. I am currently obsessed with them. I am using two different face masks. One by Freeman and one by Shills. The one by Freeman is a Charcoal & Black Sugar Polishing mask. The mask acts as an exfoliant and leaves your face feeling not only moisturized but also baby smooth.

The Shills mask is a peel off black mask. If you have ever done a peel off mask, you know that sometimes there can be a little pain. But as they say, beauty is pain and the pain is worth it for clean pores and smooth skin.

You can get all of these favorites from your local drugstore.  

I hope you have a great day. Leave a comment mentioning some of your favorites so that I can try some new products.
