Personal Skin Care

Hi everyone! I am so excited to talk about my personal beauty regimen for my skin. I have normal to oily skin, rarely do I every have dry skin. It was really hard for me to come up with a skin care system that works for me. It has taken me years to figure it out. So if you are frustrated with you skin, try not to fret to much because it does take time to perfect what works for you. Here is my cleansing system: 1. I wash with a cream cleanser 2. I exfoliate with St. Ives Apricot Scrub 3. I wash again with my cream cleanser 4. I put on my Olay non-scented face lotion 5. I put on my eye cream 6. If I have a pimple or two I spot treat them with this German green cream I have. I know that sounds like a lot, but it only takes about 10 minutes. I do it twice a day. It is very important to wash your face morning and night to make sure you get all the makeup, sweat and germs off your skin. Thanks so much for reading. Until next time.

New Fav's!

Hey everyone, I have been super busy with school work and going up north to help my mom move into to her new place, that's why I've been pretty M.I.A recently. Anyway, I want to write today about my new favorite products! First is a body mist by Degree for women. It is called Classic Romance and you can find it in the deodorant aisle at the store! It is in a 3fl oz. bottle and smells amazing!! It is perfect for keeping in your purse. In these hard financial times, women need to smell great while being able to stick to a budget.
Next is a Makeup Finishing Spray by Skindinavia. It is oil free and paraben free. I'm sure you can find it online if you google it. In my opinion this finishing spray works way better then the MAC brands. The Skindinavia one is so light weight you can not even feel it on. It dries quickly without making your makeup run all over so that you have to do touch ups. It does not make me break out which is rare in finishing sprays for me, because I have acne prone skin.
The last product I am so in love with right now is Age Defyer Eye Cures by Avance. This product really makes your eye's feel brighter. It's good for lines, bags and dark circles under the eyes and it's a great product for prevention. I also found anther use for it. If you put it on after you shower and before you put makeup on, it makes your eye makeup last longer!! What woman does not want that.

I hope you all will go out and try these products and also let me know what you thought about them. Thanks guys and have a great week!

Hair Tips

Hey everyone. I just remembered a few tips that I learned while I lived in Hawaii about taking care of your hair. Here is a little history to catch you up. The Hawaiians used to use awapuhi straight from the plant to wash their hair and condition it. It's a secret still used by many people in Hawaii today. I don't know if anyone has ever been to Hawaii but all the girls their have amazing, beautiful hair. If you can find any shampoo and or conditioner that has awapuhi in it, I highly recommend using it once or twice a week to improve your hair's condition and shine. Paul Mitchel has good products with awapuhi. Also make sure you are always rinsing your hair with cold water in the shower. It may sound unpleasant but if you do everything you need to do in the shower and then condition your hair last, it will not be bad at all. Cold water will make your hair shinier and help to stimulate your hair follicles. Also, if you have a little extra cash you should try finding some distilled water and washing your hair with it. It is very pure and does not have the minerals and things that come out of your shower water. It will help lock in your hair products effectiveness in your hair. I hope everyone has a beautiful day!

I QUIT!!!

So this week I quit smoking. I have quit and few times before and it didn't really stick for longer than a few months. I have noticed such a dramatic difference in my skin in the past week. Also I don't cough all day, I have more endurance when I work out and I don't feel as weighted down. I highly recommend quitting smoking to everyone reading this. We all know its bad for us in every way, but if you really try it I think you'll like the positives of quitting a lot more then eventually getting lung,mouth or tongue cancer!! There are lots of resources online to help you quit. There are also hot lines that you can call and if you have some extra cash and really want to quit call a hypnotist! I hear it really works. Well until next, blog!!

My First Blog?

So this is my first blogging experience ever!! I am excited to get started and let everyone in on some of my secrets. Do's, dont's and a whole bunch of random things I like or do not like. Here is some information about me. I am a student at FIDM in downtown Los Angeles. I am 21 and currently searching (desperately!) for a job. My favorite brand of cosmetics is M.A.C (shocker right? everyone loves M.A.C). I lived the first 14 years of my life in Hawaii, so I have some ancient advise up my sleeves straight from the Hawaiian culture about beauty and skin care. Before moving to California I lived in Arizona for six years, and man is it dry there, I've got some how to advise on how i lived in the desert for that long without drying up. There is more information to come,so stayed tuned for what I have in store for this blog!
