where have i been? update + announcement!

Hey guys!

I know I’ve been AWOL all week. I can explain. All last week’s posts were pre planned so technically I haven’t really been active on here or social media for almost two weeks? Why? Well it started out as normal and then it escalated. My boyfriend was sick so I thought I had just gotten a cold. Bought cold meds and hoped it would clear out fast. Except it didn’t. It got worse. I came home Sunday, I noticed every time I bent over I was getting this pressure from my forehead to my nose. Come Tuesday and it’s not just when I bend over anymore. Yesterday I went to the doctors. I was convinced I had a sinus infection and so was the nurse. Apparently I have severe allergies so she prescribed me this nasal spray with steroids. It is supposed to take two weeks to work. I’m not thrilled. I’m not in the mood to put up with this for another two weeks. I still believe she is wrong but I am not a doctor. So that’s where I’ve been. Laying in bed watching gossip girl. Gossip Girl pretty much fixes anything.  AS of tomorrow I will be back to uploading every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I’m sorry for being gone.

And I might have a collab in the works on Instagram! So keep an eye out of that! Link is in Contact Info Bar.

How I Fixed My Skin Emergency

Hey Loves!

I know last month I posted my skincare routines but in the last couple of weeks I’ve been having really bad dry spots. I don’t like when my skin changes at all. IT bothers me and I get really self-conscious. I was trying everything that I owned to fix  but I finally had to give in and go to CVS .So what happened was I was getting almost c like shaped marks around my mouth and smile lines, my temples were just getting weird patches, and the skin around my nose piercing was getting worse.

When I was thinking about what could have caused these I had to think back a good week or two. I had recently stripped my hair with Color Oops and that really irritated m skin but it would not have gotten near my mouth or nose piercing. I finally figured out it was a mix of two things. My Olay brush and the seasons changing. I have stopped using my Olay brush every day. I use it maybe once a week now. I feel like that has made a huge improvement. I live in New England and we pretty much have every season at least one day a week. It’s pretty ridiculous. But due to that my skin is not adjusting very easily. So how did I fix this?

CeraVe moisturizing cream, Aloe Vera, and Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash. I stuck with my original face wash because it didn’t bother my skin and wasn’t rough on it. After I pat my face Dry I apply a quarter sized amount of ale Vera all over my face. I usually let that sink in for 2-3 minutes before applying a Cerave but if I’m in a rush I apply the CeraVE right on top of it. When I first started using the Cerave I used a quarter sized amount but I’m currently only using about a nickel size. Not only are my Dry Spots completely gone but my makeup looks flawless on. And of course my skin is so smooth.
