Fresh – Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash
I’ve been trying a lot of exfoliating products lately, and that’s fine with me because I need to slough off some of this winter dullness! I was excited to receive this new Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash from Fresh to try out. They also sent me their popular Soy Face Cleanser, which I have used before and loved. Fruit scented things always make me wary because they can oftentimes be way too sweet smelling. I’m happy to say that this Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash is not too sweet smelling at all. The face wash is a brown-ish color and when you start massaging it on your face it is gritty. A very…

Spa Sciences Microdermabrasion System
Okay, so this system from Spa Sciences is actually called Spa Sciences MIO Diamond Microdermabrasion & Pore Extraction Skin Resurfacing System, but I was not about to put such a long name as the title of this blog post! I’ve heard about the benefits of microdermabrasion for years and I know a lot of people did/still do see a professional to get it done. I also know that over the years there have been a number of at-home systems. So when I was sent this system from Spa Sciences, I was really excited to give it a try and see if it worked for me. I was especially excited because…

May 2019 Favorites
It’s the last day of May, if you can believe it. This week has been a quick one at work since I had Monday and Tuesday off, but it’s been very busy. Last night was prom and today I’ve got a hair appointment after work. Tomorrow, a wedding. The end of the school year is always extremely busy for me at work and personally! I only have a few favorites in May and coincidentally, two are beauty/skincare related and 2 are food. And not just food in general, but they’re both ice cream. Clearly, I am working on my summer bod! Let’s do the fun stuff first – the ice…

Skinfix Travel Kit
If you’ve been following me for a while then you know Skinfix has been really kind to me over the past few years, sending me awesome goodies. In fact, they just sent me their new serum a few days ago! Still need to try that out so I can report back to you. But first, I’m sharing the travel kit they sent me a few weeks ago. Technically, it’s a starter kit as listed on Sephora, but since the products are perfect travel size, I have a few of these products in full size…size, and the kit has a little airplane in the corner, I’m going to call it a…

April 2019 Favorites
April flew by in a flash and I guess because of that I only have a few favorites this month. Of these few favorites a few of them have to do with entertainment, one is a skincare item, and one is an experience. Let’s get all the entertainment things out of the way first. This is technically from March, but I didn’t watch it until April so that’s why it’s an April favorite. On The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon and a few members of The Roots filmed themselves singing “In the Still of the Night” under the Brooklyn Bridge as an homage to doo-wop. I loved it! Next up, a…

Skinfix Foaming Oil Cleanser
If you have been following me on here and/or on social media for a while then you know I have been lucky enough to be gifted some great products from Skinfix over the past two years. They make an array of wonderful products that are good for the skin and free from harmful things like parabens, sulfates, formaldehyde, etc. They recently sent me their Foaming Oil Cleanser and I wanted to try it out right away so I could share my thoughts with you guys because it is going to be exclusive to Sephora starting April 2! This foaming oil cleanser is clinically proven to increase hydration, improve smoothness, reduce blotchiness,…

Peter Thomas Roth – Peptide 21 Collection
Happy Wednesday! For a split second yesterday morning I thought it was Wednesday, so that was a bit of a let down but it’s Wednesday for real today! I’m hoping the work day goes by smoothly and then I’ve got plans to hang out with the bff after work. On to the topic for today’s post. You guys know I love trying out new skincare so I was excited when I got a package from Peter Thomas Roth and Influenster a few weeks ago. I was sent the new Peptide 21 Collection which includes the Amino Acid Exfoliating Peel Pads, the Wrinkle Resist Serum, and the Lift & Firm Moisturizer.…

February 2019 Favorites
February flew by in a flash (alliteration anyone?). I can’t believe it went by so quick! January was a little bit of a crawl, but February really went by in the blink of an eye. I was supposed to go to a blogger event last night and I did get there after driving for an hour, got dinner, got Starbucks….and then got an email saying the event had to be canceled last minute….It was a bummer especially after my friend and I drove all the way up there but oh well. Anyway, I have a few February favorites to share with you so let’s get to it! First up, in…
