Mini Facial Regimen

So I get a lot of questions on how I keep my skin so smooth and fresh looking. My first response is that I make it a priority and that I am a total review reader. Not too long ago I was looking to enhance my skin care regimen. I wanted to make sure I was catching that aging process early on! UGH! I started doing some research on products and trying some different aging/night creams out.  Just so happened, that my girlfriend actually ended up approaching me about Rodan + Fields around the same time.  I am so thankful because I am in love with these products! What's with spoons? My Mom taught me at a young age to freeze two spoons and place them on your eyes to help with puffiness. So while I am letting my Enhancement Micro-Dermabrasion Paste set (as I leave it on a little longer than suggested) I apply the spoons to my eyes.

So here's my "mini facial" bedtime skin care regimen...

Three out of the seven days of the week I use Enhancement Micro-Dermabrasion Paste. The oil-free formula is so light on my skin. The exfoliating elements are super gentle leaving my skin feeling tone and smooth every time. When I first used the micro-dermabrasion paste, this was a pleasant surprise to me as I was expecting a heavy, rough paste. You know where the beads actually can hurt and get stuck in your eyes sometimes. (Just me?)

Next, I apply Redefine Night Renewing Serum. While I sleep this stuff works on all my imperfections! I love the feeling of waking up to nourished skin! Moisturizing is key in the anti-aging department. I know it has to be working because of how fresh, bright and smooth my skin looks every morning.

Lastly, I apply Redefine Lip Renewing Serum. Even if my lips aren't as big as Kylie's I still want to take care of them! I am a huge bedtime lip moisturizing person. You could have found Aquaphor, Burt's Bees, or Coconut Oil on my night stand table any day.  Just like the rest of my skin, I want my lips to feel rejuvenated in the morning. Well, my bedside table may still have some Aquaphor on it but this lip renewing serum has replaced everything else. Not only do my lips feel nourished, the aging process has decreased with the use of it, so yeah...this is a new favorite of mine!

I hope my updated routine helps solve any skin care solutions you may be looking for. There's no better time to update your skin care routine than in the colder months!

Hello Sunshine!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nothing like soaking up the sunshine at a beautiful winery or should I say wineries. What started as touring one winery turned into three. This beautiful sunny day was spent enjoying the weather with my best friend. Our day was filled with laughs (which is nothing new for us) while catching up on anything and everything. Great company is key to any great adventure, and an adventure with your best friend is always a good reason to get dressed up and put a smile on.

I woke up like dis- Half Bun

The last time you heard half up, half down, you were probably pinning your hair back with butterfly clips. Well, times have changed and the half up, half down style is back with a fresh look, the half bun!

 So you want to give the half bun a shot? 

1.  Create effortless waves in your hair. First, air dry your hair and spritz some sea salt spray into your locks.  After that use a curling wand, if you don't have a curling wand, simply use a smaller barrel curling iron and wrap your hair around it as if you were using a curling wand. 

2. The trick to the bun. This bun sits on the crown of your head, right where the two sections of hair meet. I know a little different than the high top knot buns we've been seeing, but for this look, its perfect. 

3. Rock your style, whatever way you typically rock a messy bun is how you want to do your bun. For this look, I pulled my hair back with a pony tail holder. Then I wrapped my hair around into a loose bun and used a clear rubber band to hold the hair in place, NO BOBBING PINS, YAY! 

4. Top off your effortlessly sexy look with a little hair spray just to keep those loose tendrils and fly aways in place and you're good to go! 

Have a fabulous hair day!
