Lifestyle

Around two weeks ago I changed my beauty regime. My old beauty routine consisted of using a facial cleanser every night and only using moisturizer when my skin was feeling especially dry. I’ve been told a million times to use moisturizer daily, but I couldn’t seem to remember to use it daily. I even preached to my friends and family to “use moisturizer daily.” Finally, I am practicing what I preach and I wish I’d discovered these all natural, environmentally-friendly products sooner!

My look of the day is inspired by loving who I am as a woman. I think as women that we completely write off our natural beauty. We hate our hair and would rather change it than work with what we have. We hate our lashes, so we wear fake ones. We don’t like the color of our skin so we darken or lighten it. I am just as guilty as the next woman, but today I want to put emphasis on my natural beauty. I am having a good skin day and I know that I can make my curls work.

I think that the most difficult part of a new journey is that we beat ourselves up and we push ourselves more than we reward ourselves. Rewards are encouraging and we all deserve them once in awhile. I have created a Fruit and Chocolate Basket, featuring DOVE® Chocolate Fruit & Nut products. This is the perfect combination of good and good for you and it’s easy to make with these free printable tags.

LuLaRoe makes a limited number of prints, so you have to grab the items before someone else does. There are hundreds of groups and consultants., so how do you choose the right one? Well, you could take my advice and shop with my favorite consultants, Ashton. Check out my favorite dress from her here!

Maybe you celebrate it every year or maybe this is your first time hearing about it. Strawberry Day is coming soon and the Two Blogs Fun Guides have created a roundup with some of our favorite strawberry-themed items. We hope that you enjoy this roundup. Use it as an excuse to fill your home with the YUM of strawberries!

You make me smile when you look at me that way. It stops me in my tracks, losing the words I was about to say. You make me smile with those big beautiful eyes. They are more mesmerizing than a deserted, country, midnight sky. You make me smile when you tell me you love me out of the blue. It feels like there’s nobody left in the world, but me and you.

Let me set the scene. It’s date night. Every week or month you have a specific night dedicated to keeping the romance alive with your partner/spouse. Most of you would look at me funny if I said that you should go on a weekly date with your significant other. You would say that you can’t afford it. You would say that you don’t have time. You have to pay for dinner and the activity. You have to pay for gas and a babysitter. That’s if you can find one. The expenses rack up and sometimes, while important, the idea of a date night just seems out farfetched. There are ways to have cute lazy dates in your home without spending a ton of money. Now does that sound like something that’s within your reach?
