1.  To Go Spa's Green Tea Eye Patches

 I can't take credit for this find I read about it Molly Sims' amazing book.  I was a bit skeptical but took the chance anyway.  The price isn't too bad $12.50 for 3 sets of eye patches.  Molly (like we're friends) suggested putting them in the fridge and then using them!  I have to say she was exactly right.  

 For over a week Em has been sick and sleep hasn't been happening regularly so I used the patches and boom amazing results.  While I don't use them everyday these are my new go to tired eye fixer!

2.  Chanel Eye Shadow in Mystic Eyes

 I needed to change up my eye shadow game.  You know I love my Naked palette so I haven't felt the need to purchase any new eye shadow in a very long time.  I found this eyeshadow quad at Chanel and instantly fell in love.  I feel like it is such a good mix of colors and will absolutely carry me into spring/summer.

3.  Proactive Purifying Mask

 I have been a faithful user of proactiv products for many years.  I am slowly making the transition over to Rodan & Fields products, anyone else?  

 The one item I haven't been able to give up yet is the facial mask from proactiv.  Whenever my skin is going haywire (which happens often) I can put it on and it seems to calm things down and correct my skin.  While I don't use the mask as often as I should (about once a month or once every two months) I am going to make an effort to use it more because the results are awesome!

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

At Home Facial Favs

Image
Happy Monday!  I hope you and yours had a great weekend.   On Sunday I gave myself an at home facial and documented some of it on my instastories and got 100 questions, ha!  So I figured I would share what I used here.   The first question I got was the frequency in which I do at home facials and I don't do them as much as I want to or probably should.  I aim for once a week but it's probably every other week.  I love going to a spa and getting a kick ass facial but there isn't always time and sometimes they can be pricey so I've developed an at home routine for myself. I will say as I get older my skin is changing so I'm having to investigate new and different products.  My skin is sensitive, prone to breakouts and can be super dry and super oily so it's a constant juggle for me to find products that actually work for me.  Recently I've been using a ton of philosophy products and I have loved every, single one of them so far!  I also love that you get

The Power of Positive Thinking

Happy Hump Day readers!!  I hope you're having a great week.  From time to time I get emails or requests for certain topics and honestly I've gotten this request in some form or fashion a few times lately.   People have emailed or Facebook messaged me about positivity or how to stay happy during hard times etc.  To be honest I was a bit surprised that these asks kept coming.  I decided it was a sign that I actually needed to blog about it.   I think we've all heard the typical attitude is everything comments and most of the time they are in one ear and out the other.  Or we don't think they apply to us just everyone else.  However, I don't believe that.  I truly believe our attitude and thoughts shape our hours, days, years and ultimately our life experience.   I think this is a huge shift for most of us.  To take our thoughts from the place they have always been is super difficult.  When I got honest with myself I realized that a lot of times what I was think
