My Skincare Routine (2014 Blogger Challenge ~ Topic 2)

Hi Everyone!

In place of my fashion post this week I am doing my blogger challenge post. For topic 2 we are to discuss our skincare routine so I am going to share with you what I do in the morning and night as far as skin care goes.

Let's Get Started!

In the morning I usually wake up with a clean face having washed it the night before so the first thing that I do is put on my moisturizer. I use Targets Up&Up Brand Moisturizer. With it being winter and freezing cold outside my skin gets super dry. So I moisturize like no other! This one is my favorite because it does not feel oily and is light and smooth all while fixing my dry skin.


After that I will then use one of my two acne medications. I use Differin 3.0 and Clindamycin. I have found that if I follow what I am supposed to do, which is use one at night and one in the morning, my skin gets super dry and peels. Instead I switch off in the morning and use one, one day and then the other the next and so on. I have found that these products have done wonders for my acne and are helping with my acne scaring along with keeping my acne away.


Recently I have started taking Biotin pills which is supposed to help with healthy hair, skin, and nails. I have not been taking it for very long but if you would like I can give an update on it and if I think they have had any effect on those things. Or if you have taken them let me know what you've found out.


That is it for my morning skincare routine and now I will be moving on to my night skincare.

To start off I have to take off my makeup from the day. I use Targets Up&Up Brand makeup wipes. These ones are the best for my skin I have found out. I have used other ones and they burn my face! To me that is not a good sign so I switched to these and do not have that problem.


After I have wiped off my makeup I typically get into the shower. While in the shower I wash my face with two different black head scrubs. I have horrible blackheads on my nose. My pores are huge and always clogged if anyone has suggestions on how to fix this please let me know down below! I use Neutrogena's and Clean & Clears black head scrubs. The clean and clear one I feel does the best at cleaning out my pores and I use it with the purple circle scrubber. I use this because it helps to pull the clogged up stuff out. 



Finally in the shower I use a Bath & Body Works body wash to clean the rest of my body and scrub off all the dry dead skin. I love the smell of this one and makes my bathroom smell so good when I use it. 


After hopping out of the shower I will use lotion to help with my dry skin before hopping into bed. I will then also use my moisturizer again to finish off the day. 


So there you have it, those are all the products that I use daily for my skin.

Lazy Day (1/05/2014)

Hi Everyone!

I thought today I would do an outfit of the day but really it is pretty boring since I am just in sweatpants and a sweater. Today I have declared a lazy day. One because it is negative 14 degrees out! and two because I have nothing else to do anyway. So I am just going to share what I am doing right now.

Let's Get Started!


Nothing is better for a lazy day and surviving the bitter cold than warm and fuzzy socks! I am not sure where they are from but I am sure it is a department store. My gray sweatpants are Under Armour and from Scheels. They are super comfy to sit around in, they also not fuzzy so I am not overheating but am still warm. The rest of my outfit not pictured is a pink tank top from American Eagle and a cream sweater from Banana Republic. 


This is where I will be spending my day, at my desk working on some blog posts. I really want to get a jump start on posts before I go back to school so that I do not miss a bunch. Of course in between writing and thinking of what to write I can sit and watch my television from here which will be playing a Law and Order: SVU marathon all day long. 


I could not sit here all day without a few things to drink. I can not go a day without my 10 cal Dr. Pepper. I need caffeine or else at the end of the day I get a major headache. Also in the Caribou cup I have lemonade made with mio and then in the little cup is just a sample of a new mio flavor that I got, berry pomegranate, it is actually super good!
Next to my desk I have my blog calendar to see and figure out what posts I want to put up for each day. If you have any ideas or requests on posts you would like me to do please leave them down below because I would love to see them and try to do them!

Thank you for taking a look and reading, I know today was not very interesting!
New posts every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. New Sunday post will be up very soon, so keep an eye out for that.
