Let’s get a hand raise for all the times we go to the grocery store aimlessly searching the aisles for something healthy, tasty, + easy to serve, as if we’re wanting it to slap us in the face. Yeah, I’m completely guilty of that. . Once I moved out of my parents + had to ‘fend for myself’ the grocery store seemed like the most daunting task known to man, aside from picking up dog shit, now that’s daunting. . The large grocery stores are my enemy, I get waaaay to overwhelmed + sidetracked with everything they have that I walk out forgetting just about everything except for strawberries, vodka, + sourdough bread. Thank god for Trader Joe’s. . Even...
Gone are the days when no one would ask, “are you feeling okay today,” all because I didn’t put on makeup, *sigh. (Please tell me I am not the only one falling victim to this). I’ve mentioned before, my eyes are blessed with the tendency of being a tad bit dark + a whole lot of annoying. . I am not a makeup junkie or someone who loves doing makeup, if I could I would be my 10 year old self + not wear an ounce of makeup. So this post is for those of you like me, not wanting to spend 35 minutes in front of the mirror all to realize that your eyeliner is crooked. I have my...
**Disclaimer: I am writing this with collagen products all over my face, LOL. . Ever since I was in high school playing soccer I would always say to my teammates ‘don’t squint, it will give you wrinkles’ - as I’m doing my absolute best not to squint while the ball is coming for my head…. I did + do NOT want wrinkles + surprise I’m beginning to notice the inevitable lines on my forehead. I hate those damn lines! You know the ones when we raise our eyebrows to do our mascara or the RBF look-yeah those ones. . Well, I have been bound + determined to make them disappear. I started to read different blog posts, website reviews, in...
All this talk of ‘new year, new me’ has me conflicted. I really like me, + I don’t want a new me, but what about new year revamped me, I can dig that. I’m not the healthiest person on the planet, let’s just get that straight. I love a good In n Out burger, but I try. Sometimes being healthy just feels like such a damn task, but really its not. It took some time, trial + error to figure this all out. Now, I love a good dinner prep for the week + taking a few extra minutes out of my day to prepare my lunch for work instead of grabbing any + every (yes I mean every) thing. ....
I don’t know about you, but my facial routine is GNARLY… + I loooove it. I’ve always had a love for taking care of my face + like I mentioned before its all thanks to mi madre. She would spend more time washing, oiling, moisturizing, cleansing + toning her face than doing her make-up. She taught me to ALWAYS wear sunscreen even when the sun isn’t out, don’t go to bed with makeup on, + less is more. Recently I began to notice my skin was dry in random places that it usually wasn’t (between my eyebrows, my eyelids, neck + nose areas) suuuper random + I couldn’t pin point the problem. I tried switching up cleansers + oils, which...
