Moroccan Clay Masque

Just the other day I received my first package from Swaggable! Swaggable is this really awesome site where you select products you would like to try and if they pick you they will send you a free sample to try out! All you have to do is sign up and make sure you write a review on whatever you sample!My first sample was 7th Heaven's Moroccan Clay Gentle Exfoliating Masque.

I had never used a clay masque before, so I didn't really know what to expect.

 

 

And just like that you instantly look better! It's a bit strange at first because you are wiping mud all over your face, but it has a pleasant, subtle scent - citrus maybe, and the packets actually have a lot of product in them! So after you look like you are fully ready for Halloween you sit and watch tv for 20 minutes while it hardens.

 

 

Then you really look like you're ready for a Halloween party! Don't plan on sipping on a glass of wine or even talking for that matter during this process because the clay hardens on your face and you can't open your mouth like at all. After your 20 minutes are up you just wash it off - I did a little circular scrubbing since it is an exfoliating masque and all - and you skin will look refreshed and feel super soft! Also it's not a very harsh exfoliant to you're whole face is not red after the process! I will definitely be trying it again! If you want to try it for yourself it's only $2.99 and you can get it here.

 

Have a fab day loves!

Good Morning Love

 I am not a morning person. Lazy weekend mornings are my favorite, I love being able to surround myself in pillows and just lounge about watching tv for a bit, reading a book for a bit, maybe even eat some yummy breakfast in bed! For instance maybe some nutella filled crescent rolls? Yes please! 

If you have not seen these lovely little rolls floating around pinterest, no worries, you can find the pin here! However, these are so easy you don't really need a step by step tutorial. All you do is spread nutella on the rolls, roll them up, pop them in the oven, and voila! I think adding strawberries or bananas to them would be just delicious! I will try it next time and let you know how it goes! 

Have a wonderfully lazy Sunday loves

Can't Live Without It

I have recently become a little obsessed with trying new beauty products. I am in no way a beauty expert, lets just make that clear, but with all the beauty advice, and 'this is a miracle product!' pins I am constantly pinning it's made me want to try some of these things for myself! Not to mention I manage a tanning salon and am constantly receiving magazines and emails about new moisturizers and skin care lines! Right now there are 3 things I can't live without and the first of those is the new Kardashian Tan Extender.

Not only is this a great everyday moisturizer but it smells amazing! When I use this I just skip the perfume because this amazing scent last all day! Plus this moisturizer is specifically designed to extend the life of your tan which is perfect since lazy beach days are here at last! I you would like to purchase this check your local tanning salon or just call me at 904-277-3061



The e.l.f. All Over Color Stick. Use it for blush, lipstick, cream eyeshadow, it's everything you need and only $1. Yes you read that correctly $1. This little lovely is now a staple in my everyday bag. I currently have the 'pink lemonade' color and love it! It gives you perfectly rosy cheeks and a pretty pink pout. You can get these at Target or at www.eyeslipsface.com! Check the top right corner of their website for a code to get you some free shipping! I am extremely tempted to go ahead and buy each color, I mean they are only a dollar!

 

Now that I am officially in my late twenties I am all about some preventative skin care! To be totally honest all the creams, serums, BB cream, CC cream, retinol, oils, confuse the heck out of me. Therefore I have decided to take things one at a time and try them all for myself! First off is the Olay Total Effects CC Cream. I am about halfway through my bottle and I must say I really like it! It supposedly reduces fine lines and wrinkles, evens skin tone, helps age spots, dryness... the list goes on and on and you can read all about it here. Plus it is a moisturizer and has sunscreen! I do wish the SPF was a bit higher than 15, but other than that I like it! I will do a before and after pic to see if it makes even the slightest difference in my skin and will post that when I finish the bottle!

 

 

Do you have a beauty product that you currently can't live without? Tell me about it! Leave a comment below and I might just have to try some of your favs for myself!

Outfit of the Week: Lazy Island Day

Warm weather is here! I just love this time of year in Florida - the days are warm and sunny and the nights are cool and breezy, it's just perfect! With the shop located just right up the street from the beach I see lazy afternoons lounging on the sand in my near future!

 

 

Don't mind the messy hair :)

Light Tone Chambray top from Old Navy get it here.

Necklace from Colie's get it here.

 

 

New Mint Maxi from Colie's here.

Shoes from Coach a few seasons ago.

Mixed bracelets from Colie's get them here.

 

I'm sure you'll be seeing me wear this washed out chambray from Old Navy and Colie's new Mint Maxie over and over again! I'm currently obsessed with these two pieces! The shirt is lightweight and such a fresh color for spring/summer! The maxi skirt is also light and airy, not too heavy at all, and super comfy! I also have them arriving in black sometime soon! Maybe some coral in the near future? We will see!

 

Have a Sparkling Day!
