HELLO!

Hey everyone! Long time no posts… yikes..

Well, I guess now is the best time to return to my website.

What has everyone been doing during this quarantine, I guess in my case I should ask what everyone been doing in the past two plus years that I have been away from my website? Most recently I graduated from college in August 2019 and I have been searching for a job ever since then (and unfortunately have not found anything yet.. and now because of coronavirus i’m probably not going to find anything anytime soon).
BUT…. now being in quarantine I have had a lot of time to basically regroup my entire life. It has given me a lot of time to reflect on the good and the bad of the last few years. I have done A LOT of arts and crafts to calm my mind, for example.. painting, stitching, coloring, knitting. I have also done a lot of cleaning and organizing to refresh my mind. And last journaling.. that has helped me so much to clear my mind, getting my thoughts on paper and out of my head is like the best thing for me during this quarantine. (and a lot of time playing animal crossing but we are not going to talk about that… haha)
So, where do I go from here? I am writing this for the world to see to hold me accountable. I no longer want to abandon my blog and my youtube because they both make me so happy. I call 2015/2016 “my prime” because that is when I started my blog and youtube and I was so very happy then. I lost myself, and it took some time but now I am ready to come back to “my prime” again. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

Changes coming…

Hello Everyone!
I am officially on my winter break! Yay!

I have a lot of exciting posts to come!

Also, my blog is almost a year old. I learned a lot my first year of blogging and there are about to be a lot of changes coming to my blog. Mainly I have set up a very strict schedule for me to stick to for my blog. I also will be FINALLY be starting a YouTube in the new year, I have said it for years and years (made videos ready to post and not posted them because they weren’t perfect) and I think I am finally ready to start it. Very scared and excited for that. I’m always so scared to post thing on my blog/ig/youtube (if it’s not perfect) but my goal for the new year is to let that go and post EVERYTHING, even if it isn’t perfect.

If you would like to keep up with my life in the new year, follow:

Skincare Routine

Yay! I’m back! Sorry I was away so long I need to learn how to handle both school and my blog better, but i’m back with a skincare routine post! My two favorite beauty subjects are makeup and skincare, I am excited for this post! So let’s get into it!

I will start with taking off my makeup, I use Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes. One wipe takes off all my makeup. I use Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser and Moisturizing Cream some nights if I am too lazy to do my full skincare routine. I also use Cetaphil in to morning before putting my makeup on.

My skincare routine that I do almost every night is from the Michael Todd line. I use the Acne Or Oily Sensitive Skin Regimen and I love it so much. I love Michael Todd products so much because they made with organic ingredients and vegan, I love that it is all natural. I start with the Charcoal Detox and use it with my Soniclear. Then about every other day I use the Jojoba Charcoal Facial Scrub to exfoliate. After that I use the Blue Green Algae Toner, this is my favorite part. Last I use the Antioxidant Carrot Serum. Once a week I use the Kaolin Clay Detoxifying Facial Mask, I love this so much, I had to get used to the smell but it works so well.

Every night I use my Aveda Eye Cream for my dark circles. Then my favorite product out there, it has been my favorite for at least 10 years and I have probably purchased 100 tubes of this in my life… CARMEX! Words do not describe how much I love this product!

If I am breaking out in a little spot on my face I either use Clean & Clear Acne Spot Treatment or Aveda Acne Relief Pads.

And if I am breaking out very very bad I use Proactiv+. I hate to use it because there are so many chemicals in it but sometimes if I am breaking out extremely bad I have to use it. I replace it with my Michael Todd and use it for no more than one or two weeks to clear up my skin. I hate it, but it works well when I am going through a bad breakout.

Hopefully this helps if you are stuck in a skincare routine funk and need to find new products.

Let me know what some of your favorite skincare products are! 🙂
