New Skincare Routine

I just had my first baby girl, beautiful Amari, about 7 months ago and my skin has taken a turn for the worse. I'm chalking it up to my hormones being out of whack. But anyway, I seem to have clogged pores and cystic acne all over my forehead and chin. This is extremely hard for me to deal with because I've never had serious acne. In the past few months I have tried several products, none yielding any results.. All of my current skincare that usually keeps my skin clear decided to stop doing it's job and it's been a rough road trying to find something that works with my ever changing skin. After trying everything from the expensive high end brands and prescriptions to medicated store brands I decided it was finally time to get a Clarisonic Mia and try it out. My sister has been using her Clarisonic with good ol' Cetaphil and her skin is basically flawless so I decided to give it a try. After the first 2 days of cleansing with this duo I noticed a huge difference. I could not believe how much better my skin looked after such a short period of time. I would cleanse morning and night and follow up with Cetaphil Daily Advance Lotion. My skin gets super dry in the winter and this lotion really does the trick. It keeps my skin quenched all day and night and has healed all of my random dry patches. I usually re-up during the day also just because the dry indoor heat really does a number on my skin. For all these years I have spent a small fortune on department store skincare and here I am using Cetaphil and loving it! It's very mild and doesn't dry out my skin yet cleanses very thoroughly. I will never use anything else!!! I also do a Coconut Oil cleanse 3x a week with my Clarisonic. This really helps heal my skin and keep it extra healthy! I will do a post on all my Coconut Oil uses soon! It's amazing! As for my Clarisonic I love the deep cleansing it gives my skin. I feel so refreshed after. I also love that it helps my skincare products absorb and work better too! I don't know why I didn't get one sooner!! I highly recommend investing in one for clear, beautiful, soft skin.

Obviously I've been MIA for quite some time and I apologize.. I actually had a baby on June 5, 2012. During my pregnancy I was literally miserable and had no motivation whatsoever to blog :( And when my beautiful baby girl Amari was born all I wanted to do was hold and snuggle her. Now she is almost 7 months old and I am finally ready to jump back in. I will be doing my usual beauty stuff but with a mom twist.. Getting ready for the day is a lot harder now that I'm a mom!! I have literally lived in yoga pants and for the past 7 months and I don't feel bad about it at all!!! I will also blog a bit about my fitness routine and diet and what my new plans are for life. My perspective on life changed the instant I saw her face. I can't explain it but I just wanted to be better. My goals changed. Things that were once important to me were no longer relevant. Everything I was working for was no longer what I wanted so I changed everything and basically started fresh. Obviously God has a different plan for me and I trust Him.

My older sister and I are also planning a blog together for the new year. So at some point I might integrate both blogs into one, but for now here I am. I'm excited to get back to blogging and I have lot of fun things to share on my journey of (MOM) beauty, fashion and life!! I hope everyone had a beautiful and blessed holiday and I wish everyone a happy and safe New Year!! Talk to you soon!


love- Miss B



 

COVERGIRL Blasflipstick = LovE


So, as an official BzzAgent I get to try awesome products for free and tell people what I think.. Basically Word of Mouth advertising!! Well, anyway, this month I received 3 beautiful shades of Covergirl's Blastflipstick! I am in love with this lipstick. Now, I'm not usually a drugstore makeup kind of girl but I have to say that this lipstick is pretty great! My favorite color is "Whisper". It's a very neutral shade of pink. Absolutely perfect for creating that natural pinkish nude lip! The other end is a light shimmery pink. I think having 2 customizable colors in one stick is an ingenious idea. You can wear the pink alone or add a little shimmer or a lot of shimmer! You'll have no problem creating the perfect, one of a kind shade! The color was surprisingly creamy and very light. It was also somewhat moisturizing which is rare in a lipstick, The color was very pigmented and was long lasting. I'm very excited to try other shades in this product. 5 stars!!



love, Miss B
