Beauty

We know it is important to set a routine both morning and night. There are many articles written that talk about the benefits of a routine and how it sets you up for a successful day and winds you down for a peaceful sleep. I am still working on my morning routine– I am guilty of hitting snooze and grabbing my phone first thing in the morning. My nighttime routine, however, is religious. I take the necessary steps to wind down before drifting off to sleep. I have never been one that can instantly fall asleep upon my head hitting the pillow. I envy those of you who can. I need to take certain steps to calm my mind and my body. Here is my 9 step nighttime routine.

tara brands

It is no secret that my hair, although there is a lot of it, is fine. With it being thin, my hair is accessible to being damage by color treatments and styling tools. This is why I take certain measures to ensure that my hair stays healthy and nourished. I do this by eating healthy foods, drinking plenty of water, and using products that will revitalize the follicles of my hair. Tara Nature’s Formula Restore: Hair Mask is a great way to hydrate my hair. Especially when it becomes a little malnourished. The hair mask is made up of mango seed butter, grape seed oil, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid to concoct a cream that acts as hair therapy.

nordstrom anniversary sale

Today marks the beginning of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Event. Early Access means if you have a Nordstrom card you can start shopping the major sale early before it goes open to the public. The Nordstrom Sale is pretty good this year, I have to admit that the last year or two the items were not that great. I even skipped the sale last year. But this year there is a lot of great options; anywhere from coats to basics to everyday needs to skincare, this is the time to grab what you need and want. As the sale continues Nordstrom will add more and more items. So keep checking back on the website, but don’t hesitate to buy as items do sell out fast. Nordstrom has a generous return policy. I will also update my Nordstrom shopping page on my blog (seen here). The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale will be opened to the public on July 19th.

drugstore skincare

When it comes to everyday beauty and skincare sometimes what you are looking for isn’t the overly priced products. Sometimes the best product for you and for your skin is sold at your local drugstore, Target or Walmart. Last year when I got Perioral Dermatitis I stopped using all of my products and went straight to CVS to pick up Cetaphil per my Dermatologist orders. She was right, it was the only brand that did not spread the rash or irritate it. I still use Cetaphil as my daily moisturizer, along with the soap. I love that the daily moisturizer has SPF in it but it is not overly thick that I can tell I have it on. It is important to me to have SPF in my face lotion and will only use ones that do.
