One of my favorite parts of the day is my nighttime skincare routine. Is that weird? It's one of the only 15 minute periods of time I get with no interruptions or distractions and it is very peaceful. I do it once the kids are down for the night before Jeff and I unwind watching a show. Did you know there's a correct order for applying skincare? I recently learned about it and realized I'd been doing a few steps out of order for years! Here's the correct breakdown:
Happy Monday! I can't believe it's Thanksgiving week... and even though the holiday will be different for so many this year (my family included), I know it will still be a nice day. Thanksgiving also marks the start of a crazy cyber week (black Friday, cyber Monday, etc). It seems like every year it starts earlier and earlier and get more intense. Part of my job is to highlight sales and be a resource for anyone looking for them. I'm sharing deals on things I love that I think you'll like too. However, that said I don't want anyone to feel pressured or like you "have" to buy things. I really don't want anyone to feel bad if they are not in a position to spend right now. What matters most, especially right now, is health. These are all just material things that do not matter in the grand scheme of things.
Happy Monday... but does that it even matter what day it is anymore? I apologize for going radio silent over here the past week, I'm still trying to balance this new normal. Today I want to talk skincare! I haven't been wearing much makeup lately but have still been focused on skin. I wanted to share my current morning skincare routine...
I've been wanting a skincare fridge for awhile now and was so happy that Jeff finally took the hint and got me one for Christmas. I had planned to set it up in our office... but that room is still a catchall/shit show. Until we can get our lives together and have a functioning office, my beauty fridge is set up in our bedroom and I am loving it.
I'm still recovering from the carb fest that was Thanksgiving weekend. But today I want to share my top five products from November. I started this series a couple of months ago and it's been fun for me to see the products that end up being everyone's favorites. They're usually at the top of my list as well. This past month had a lot of beauty products, a pair of Crosby's shoes and the rocker I've used in both babies nurseries. Let's break it down...
Hope your weekend was as relaxing and overindulgent as mine. Yesterday Jeff made me and Crosby Belgian waffles with coconuts and chocolate chips and a banana syrup, if that tells you anything. It's honestly a miracle my pants will button. For Cyber Monday I want to share deals on some of my favorite items, hint my Uppababy stroller is on sale!
