Skincare must have's in your 30s

When I turned 30 last year, I knew it was time to step up my skincare routine. Long are the days were I could just buy some cheap drug store face wash and call it a day. I could see my skin getting droopy as the hours went along!! After I had Raegan in the Spring, I finally made the investment great skin care products. This last year, I've tired a bunch of different items. These are my absolute favorites.

Every night, I use my makeup eraser to remove any makeup. OMG this thing WORKS. Its so amazing! It's one of my most favorite products. I actually have 2, just incase the other is in the wash. I love that I'm not creating waste and I can remove my makeup without any chemicals.

After I remove my makeup, I use Colleen Rothschild Gel Cleanser. And then follow up with the Matcha Tea Toner. They are move so soothing and not harsh at all on my skin. They have been key in keeping my break outs at bay.

2-3 Nights a week I use a retinol. Then follow up with a moisturizer. On nights that I don't use the retinol, I go start to the moisturizer.

Once a week, I use the Dual Enzyme Polish. I leave it on my face for about 5 minutes, then I rub it in, then wash it away. You seriously feel like your skin is brand new. Its crazy how good it works!!!

The skincare tool that I purchased a few months ago is the high frequency wand. Yall, this thing is soooo good! It uses high frequencies to slow the signs of aging and treat acne. Whenever I feel a pimple coming on, I just zap the area a few times and its gone the next day. I've also been using it to tighten my overall skin profile, and I can totally see a difference!

About Me

There are a few new faces around here and I realized I haven’t formally introduced myself. First - WELCOME! I’m so glad you are here.

I’m a mama to two sweet little babies. I’m married to my best friend, we just celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary! My mom and his dad worked for the same company. We met through friends and it was an instant connection because our parents worked together. I had just moved to Illinois, and I didn't know anyone! My husband was born and raised in Illinois but had gone to Florida every year since he was a kid for summer break. After a few years of dating, it was a no brainer for us to move to Florida since we both love it here! I was born and raised in Florida - I LOVE the beach.

*Trigger warning ED mentioned* I hate bell peppers... well actually you'd probably label me as a pretty picky eater but I've struggled with disordered eating in my past, so I just try to focus on eating things I enjoy. Which sounds so silly to some, but if you have struggled with food than you know what I'm talking about. Maybe someday I will talk more about my journey. I have PCOS. I wasn't diagnosed until I struggled getting pregnant with my son. I was practically born plus size. It was so rough growing up because my sister is tiny. We got so much crap because we were soooo different. But now as an adult I LOVE being tall. I’m 5’10 (and you can clearly see my feet are GIANT) and have been anywhere from a size 10-20 for as long as I can remember.

I started my instagram as a personal page, a way to share life updates with friends and family, but I found myself answering messages asking where I got that top or these shoes more than anything! It didn’t surprise me too much because I’ve had this same experience in real life. In real life, its a normal occurrence for someone to approach me asking where my outfit was from. I thought it was totally normal until I was with a friend at dinner and I had 3 different people approached me to ask me where my dress was from. My friend’s reaction told me that maybe this wasn’t normal for everyone like it has been for me. Not only did I tell those people where to get the dress, I told them how to get it at a great price and gave them a few recommends on how to style it for their bodies. I truly love helping people look and feel their best!! That’s what I hope to do with this platform. Thank you all for being here! 💕💕💕
