Things I'm loving day 1

This week I am going to share 7 days of make-up things in loving right now.

Living in Chicago, where the winter months can be brutal and the wind has a mind of its own... 

It Can also be harsh on your skin and lips.

My lips have been dry, cracked and not making my lipstick look the greatest. I felt I needed something to exfoliate my lips...I found a great product by lush...a lip scrub. It smells and tastes amazing!

Who doesn't want their lips to taste like bubblegum? 😋

The grey of winter

Cost- the limited

Scarf- forever21

Belt- Hermes

Boots- Lucky brand

Christmas Fun

Christmas  has lost it's meaning.... People feel so much pressure to buy the biggest  and best gift, that they stress themselves out. I decided that Christmas would not be stressful this year. It was filled with fun, laughter, food, gifts and thankfulness. My family got together...and me, i always sit at the "kids table" (nephew, daughter and cousin)...LOL

Did you know: Acupuncture

Lately I've been working a lot and feeling tired and burnt out. I decided to make a trip to a place called "The Well" to see Dr Frer. We did acupuncture, which is a process that utilizes fine, sterile needles placed into specific points on the body.

Acupuncture is a science based treatment performed by a skilled clinician to provide a rapid and ongoing healing response. When you are fatigue, it is possible that your body is inflamed and  acidic. Which means you store more fat.

Acupuncture is all about healing!

Sunday: did you know...Vitamin C

Did you know that topical vitamin C was actually good for your skin? Yes, matter of fact, it is . This topical miracle can help with wrinkles, sun damage and the overall brightness of the skin. 

As we age, unfortunately we begin to lose collagen...well when using vitamin C topically, we can actually encourage collagen production. Some people say it can actually help turn back the clock when it comes to aging. I say add vitamin C to daily daily regimen and reap the benefits when it comes to your skin's overall health.

Some of my personal favorites: Dermaquest, Environ C quence and Obagi C skincare line. 

You say, turn the clock back...i say, "i'm in".

1st edition of....Did you know?...

Did you know that as we age we lose the collagen in our lips? That beautiful defined lip that you know and love, begins to lessen. Your lips eventually look smaller because they are less defined as they were in your youthful 20's. 

Don't worry, you can get the definition back in your lips without making your lips bigger by adding filler to your lip border only. This border is called, the vermillion border. What filler you ask? Resylane silk or Juverdem XC are just a few. These two fillers are currently FDA approved for the lips and can help you maintain that youthful look. If you choose this option, please make sure you go to a licensed medical professional, who has been trained to do these injections.

Happy Sunday!
