SKINCARE UPDATE

1/10/2019

 
altogether-beautiful-beauty-blog-skincare-routine-product-update
The most recent skincare routine blog post was done last February and since then I have added and replaced some products.  I use the same face wash as well as hyaluronic acid gel.  In the morning I have added a new serum by Vichy, Idealia Radiance Boosting Anti-Aging Face Serum.  It's a miracle worker! There are several benefits and it's never too early to start using anti-aging products in your skincare routine.  Instead of eye cream, lately I have been using the Vichy LiftActiv Retinol Anti-Wrinkle Treatment.  Technically not for the eye area but I have been using it every morning in place of an eye cream and have no issues.  I also use a generous amount on my forehead where I have very intense lines from making facial expressions. 

At night, my routine hasn't changed except for one addition; Vichy Vitamin C Serum.  This little bottle is magic!  Not only does it brighten skin, the serum makes dark spots and scars disappear.   I have acne scars from an episode of cystic acne I had a year ago and there is almost no evidence of it now since added the vitamin c serum to the mix.  It is well worth the price.  You can shop all my skincare must-haves below!

Keratin Smooth Heat Protect Spray  |  It's A 10

Winter means dull, dry hair that gets frizzy and unmanageable at times.  Adding heat to already dry hair also causes problems.  One product that helps with the winter blues is Tresemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protect Spray.  It has 5 benefits to not only protect hair from heat tools but it adds shine and strength to hair even after it's styled.  Another product I love this time of year is the It's A 10 miracle leave in spray with Keratin.  Notice a pattern?  The keratin works wonders on those lovely locks.  It's A 10 is a leave in conditioner that I use after each wash, right before brushing.  All the tangles are gone, my hair is smooth, it smells great, and once my hair air dries it's incredibly soft.  

What products keep your hair healthy during the winter season?

Hoop Earrings  |  Handbag   |  Sunglasses  |  Lipstick 'Blushing Beige'

Fun Fact:  I never go shopping without first stopping at a coffee shop!  This time of year especially calls for a coffee run with all the holiday lattes to choose from.  No matter which coffee shop or latte I order, I opt for coconut milk and no whip.  Mostly due to being lactose intolerant but it also saves on calories, fat and sugar!  Below are some favorites I love to order and which coffee shop they are from.
Starbucks
  • Caramel Brulee Latte
  • Chestnut Praline Latte
  • Gingerbread Latte
Biggby Coffee
  • Peppermint Stick Mocha Latte
  • Snow Mint Mocha
  • Gingersnap Latte
Tips & Tricks when ordering:
  • Choose nonfat milk or coconut milk
  • Ask for no whip
  • Opt for sugar free syrups if available
  • Ask for a straw - sipping through a straw will help keep your smile white and prevent stains!
What holiday lattes are you drinking this season?  Share below! I'd love to try something new :)

PRODUCTS FOR A BETTER NIGHT'S SLEEP

12/14/2018

We all know that getting enough quality sleep each night is essential to our health and well being.  Sometimes tho, it can be hard to fall asleep!  Our minds are racing with all the things we have to do (especially during the Holiday season) or we are simple unable to get relaxed enough to start snoozing.  Over the years, I have found a routine that works to get me ready for a great night's sleep.  Things like yoga, chamomile tea, blue light blocking glasses, and essential oils are just some of the ways to prep for bedtime.  Below I'm sharing the top products I use for a better night's sleep.

  • I take showers at night which is why I love the lavender + vanilla for sleep bodywash.  It's a great way to start winding down for the night. 
  • A candle is always burning when I'm home, this relaxing scent has lavender + cedarwood essentials oils that help your home smell like a spa!
  • Drinking tea in the evenings helps to soothe all your ailments.  Whether it's an upset stomach, sore throat, achy muscles, or your just full of energy, I find a soothing tea is a cure all.  I promise this tea will make you sleepy!  About 30-40 minutes before I go to bed is when I drink tea.
  • As I'm getting ready for bed, I prep the oil diffuser in the bedroom.  I alternate between the "Good Nite" and "Calming" blends.  Both create a pleasant atmosphere of relaxing scents while the mist from the diffuser puts a little moisture in the air.
  • I always apply lotion to my hands before bed!  This black chamomile lotion is new and the unique scent is great for bedtime!  Since I sleep with my hands under my pillow, I can smell the scent as I fall asleep. 
Hope these tips will give you a better night's sleep!

xx,
Megan
