New Year, New Me…kinda

Hi everyone, happy 2017! It’s officially been over a year since I posted new content which means I am the worst! The good news? I’m back and committed to having a little more discipline when it comes to sharing with y’all. Let’s just say it was a resolution of mine…

Another resolution I made for this year was to really focus and invest on my skincare routine and the products I use. Let’s face it, we aren’t getting any younger and there is no time like the present to step up your skincare game. Now that I’m 100% a grown up adult, I have to start taking my skincare routine more seriously…which means I have to take my makeup off after bed! While this could seem an unbearable task on those nights when you’re so tired you can barely make it to bed, nothing feels better than hitting your pillow with a clean face lathered in serums and creams. Not to mention, who doesn’t love shopping for skincare products? Hello Sephora!

To get you excited about this new habit for 2017, I’ve included below some of my favorite products in heavy rotation right now! Enjoy and get ready for a brighter, healthier, and more youthful face in 2017!

Sunday Riley is probably my favorite skincare line out right now. Their packaging is clean, simple, and brand propelling. The results you see after using their products are even better. This ceramic slip cleanser is the latest addition to my routine and my complexion is brighter and softer already!

Sunday Riley Good Jeans is my absolute fave-cannot-live-without-always-have-a-backup-on-hand product of all time. Applying this lactic acid treatment in the morning and the evening is seriously one of my favorite steps in the getting ready process. Some of the results you can expect after using this product are: line reducing, brightening, clarifying, exfoliating, and plumping. In other words, you need it!

Ok I know, I know, enough with the Sunday Riley! Just one more! Their Luna Sleeping Night Oil is a highlight of my evening routine. This anti-aging retinoid night oil helps to reduce the signs of aging by improving your skin’s plumpness and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Yes, it’s as wonderful as it sounds!

This Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist 24 is an outstanding anti-aging eye cream that feels as lovely as it smells. The price is very reasonable given it’s richness and how long it lasts, not to mention compared to its competitors’ prices. This cream claims to eliminate the signs of aging by reducing fine lines and improving upon the skin’s firmness. You won’t be disappointed!

Ok now it’s time for me to go get ready for bed and slather these all over my face, and thanks to these products, I’m actually looking forward to it!

Living Room Reboot

One of my fave things to do is rearrange and redecorate the living space that I share with my boyfriend in SF. Recently I decided that our main living space was not making a clear statement nor reflecting the vision we had for our decor: beachy luxe with a lot of texture. The next day, I hit the ground running…

Summer Time Faves so Far

Summer Time Faves so Far by bezbrown  Well, it’s July 29th and Summer is just about to begin here in the Bay Area. I am really looking forward spending hots days by the pool with friends and warm-ish days at a sunny beach (it is Nor-Cal after all). Luckily I was able to spend a week in a scorching hot San…
