Get Your Glow On!

Happy Wine Wednesday!!

As I sip my red blend, I get excited knowing that soon it will be white wine season aka SUMMER!!! Wine spritzers, sunshine, being out on the water and longer days are ahead! With all that sunshine comes a little more maintenance to keep skin hydrated and looking amazing all the while preventing serious wrinkles! Whether we'd like to admit it or not, they'll show sooner or later! No thank ya ma'am! I decided to share with y'all a few of the products that I love thus far! Hoping they become permanent summer staples!

First off, I use a bb cream and foundation from e.l.f.. I blend two different shades since I have a yellow base to my skin and have gotten a little tan. I apply and use a blending bud, these bad boys are the bees knees! I love this brand! It is inexpensive, sold at Target, CVS and Walgreens! Good for this girl's budget!
I love these foundations since they have SPF built-in! They don't clog pores and don't leave a "cakey" look!

Next, my current go to for a summer glow is Jergen's Natural Glow body lotion. I use this daily, usually after a shower so I've exfoliated and it absorbs evenly. It doesn't leave an orangy look, no Jersey Shore girl here!! It also has a great fragrance, even the beau says so!
There are other products in this line I want to try, especially during not-so-sunny season!

For my bedtime prep, I decided to try a new brand of wipes for makeup removal from L'Oreal. These are soothing for the skin, I don't have sensitive skin but I like to keep up on maintenance so I don't have breakouts. I also broke down and finally got night cream. Yes, it made me feel old! But I must say, I absolutely love the results! I apply it about 5 minutes before I go to bed, I use the wipes and allow them to soothe my skin for a bit before I apply this as well. Also, if you're a Publix addict like me, they offer a coupon for both! Steal and deal!!


Summer cannot come fast enough, even though I'm sure I'll be a busy working girl! Summer just brings a sense of relaxation, this Florida girl has a love/hate relationship with the heat but I'll deal! Leave a comment if you decide to try any of these products!! I'll keep ya post on my results!

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

I'm Made of Glitter, Water, and Anxiety

So over the last few years I have struggled with admitting and treating my own personal demon of anxiety. I have many friends who have a similar struggle and agree that prior to becoming it's prey, we thought anxiety was a total joke. I mean, when I would witness an anxiety attack I would just think, 'come on, pull it together sister!'. But now that I tend to deal with it on the daily, it is a very real monster. To have your own brain betray you as such is a difficult thing to grasp. Going from a perfectly rational person to trying to prevent anything and everything that could possibly happen, you look at yourself and think 'jeez! What a nutcase!'. Treating my anxiety wasn't an easy task, especially since I began treating mine at the end of a relationship and while being completely alone. It was a daily struggle and I really didn't feel like anyone would understand without being judgemental. I also used substances as my release, we all know I love my wine....

South in your Mouth

This morning, like every Saturday morning, I get up with coffee-induced strength and make my sweetheart breakfast. He's a lover of pancakes and sausage but ever since we moved in together, I have been slowly expanding his palette. I probably have one of the pickiest men in the South! I think I've complained about this before, I'm sure some other ladies can agree! Well, our house has been quite a whirlwind and so this morning I wanted to make a hearty breakfast, with the cold front coming in, today definitely called for it! Bradley recently joined the Eustis Gun Club so he wanted to be up bright and early to get down there. The things I will do for this man! I tell ya! However, there is always time for a Saturday afternoon nap so I got up after morning snuggles and him obviously turning the heat on (let's face it, I wasn't getting up when it was 64° in the house, he's a smart man!). I decided to make homemade biscuits and sausage gravy! Now, I know most Sout...
