Fall Approved: Titles to Provoke Thought & Inspir
Fall Approved: Titles to Provoke Thought & Inspir
After a summer of reading some really awesome titles… why not continue this trend year round? Reading helps to expand one’s vocabulary, gets the imagination going, and last but not least helps to open the mind to new ideas. We love reading around here and this fall I’m diving into two titles that have been on my MUST READ list. I like titles that will motivate me, give me something to lean on…

Motherhood Chronicles: Am I Doing This Right?
Motherhood Chronicles: Am I Doing This Right?
Going into motherhood, my expectations for myself were sky high. I thought I had it figured out before the baby was even born, which is an instant set up for failure. I had an idea of how I thought motherhood would be and when it began to unfold, I began to see things differently. Imagining a situation and living the situation are quite different. I used to imagine how I would handle a tantrum…

Adult acne Blows! Breakouts can be embarrassing and severe acne can lead to low self-esteem. A dermatologist can and will prescribe oral and topical medications for acne, but that can be costly. If you have cystic acne, I would definitely suggest seeking out a Dermatologist, that type of acne is painful and can be very scarring. When my acne started to flare up again, I went back to my dermatologist, but failed to fill the prescription because I didn’t want to pay an exorbitant amount of money to clear up my skin.
I noticed that all the vegetarians/vegans that I follow on Instagram all had extremely clear, flawless, and damn near perfect skin! So I knew one thing for certain; it’s not just enough to treat acne on the outside, it must be treated from within also! Now, I’m nowhere near making that type of lifestyle transition, I love meat wayyyy too much. However, with a few alterations to my eating habits, I was underway to creating a facial regimen that would fight the breakouts that have been plaguing my 20s. :-/
I started by creating and sticking to a strict morning and evening facial routine. Wash, Tone, Moisturize, and Prevention using a combination of gentle cleansers, masks, and toners.
Here are the Top 5 (okay so it’s a little more than 5, but you can pick and choose which masks and cleansers work best for you) Products used to Fight Acne:
Cetaphil Cleansing Bar / DIY Face Wash
LUSH Masks (faves: Mask of Magnaminty, Ocean Salt, and Cosmetic Warrior)
Thayers Witch Hazel /Rose Water (Toners)
Cerave Moisturizer (Night Time)
Olay Moisturizer with SPF 15 (Day Time)
In addition to topical treatments, I implemented an increase in my water intake and greens.
DRINK WATER…LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER!
GREEN…EAT LOTS OF GREENS i.e. Salads (I use a spring mix with spinach)

BACK with another DIY! This one’s for all the ladies/gents out there battling with acne. I suffer from Acne and it’s probably one of the most frustrating battles in my life.

DIY: Sugar Scrub
Brown Sugar Scrub I took a stroll over the Brooklyn Bridge with my family recently and the long walk took a toll on my feet! To make matters worse, I was captured on camera with my feet looking like Betty Flinstone and my hair looking like an 80s style mullet. I was horrified; here I was thinking that my bi-weekly pedicures were doing me justice. Eh-eh…not enough. I needed an at home treatment in…

DIY Series: Natural Hair Butter ft. Shea Butter
I’ve been in the DIY mood lately…I blame Pinterest for this sudden inspiration. In an effort to curb my product-junkyism, and saving money, I thought it would be worth it to create my own Hair Butter packed with my favorite oils. Hair butters make great moisturizers for dry, natural tresses and DIY allows you to control which of your favorite oils enter the batter and subsequently into your hair.…
