My Spring To-Do List

Happy Thursday! Thank goodness Friday is just a little ways away, am I right? 

I was thrilled to find the sun shinning today.

And the warmer weather has finally started because it was 70 degrees outside! YAY! 

I found a great list on one of my favorite blogs, The Glitter Guide, the other day. They listed their spring to-do list, and this gave me a great idea to make my own, and also share some of the things I want to do over the next few months with all of you! 

Here is their list….

And here are some of the things I want to do this spring, I hope you will have a chance to do them too!

I have several books on my to-read list, but I really want to read Rachel Zoe's new book "Living in Style." it sounds so good!

I want to spend more time exercising. I want to do more yoga, bike riding etc. And I also want to start eating more fruits & veggies. I want to get ready for swimsuit season, while also having fun exercising & eating well.

 It is a great time to go through your home & clean things from top to bottom! I always do my spring cleaning in April, and I go through my clothes at this time as well. When going through the items I want to keep, I also spend time looking at blogs and Pinterest to get ideas for spring trends & new outfit inspirations. I took the pictures from today's post from Tumblr. I love looking at my site to get inspired when re-decorating or changing my wardrobe.

Don't forget to get outside, roll down your windows & let in the fresh breeze! It feels amazing after months of cold and cloudy weather. I like to eat outside at restaurants as often as I can in the spring and summer,
really take advantage of this when you can!

Try out new recipes, buy a bottle of wine you've never had before, 

make a fruity cocktail, buy fresh flowers to add to your coffee table...

Embrace the season through everything that you do! 

 



Now is also the perfect time to buy a cute new umbrella, a sweet floral fragrance, and a new shade of lipstick!   

I hope you enjoyed my list of spring to-do's! What are the things you love about spring? 

Much love, 

My Favorite Skin Care Products

Happy Tuesday! It is finally starting to feel like spring in Michigan, and my skin is very grateful for that! It can be so dry in the winter months, I have to fight to keep my skin hydrated. Luckily, I have perfected my skin treatment over the years, and I thought that I would share my favorite skin care products, for both my face & body!

Face Routine:

Clarisonic dop kit

My favorite item EVER bought for my skin, is my Clarisonic Mia. I bought mine from Sephora, and  I have seen an incredible change in my complexion! It was a little pricy, but EXTREMELY worth it! I use this every day, usually only before bed. Sometimes I use it in the shower, or in the morning before I do my makeup, depending on my skin's needs. You can use any cleanser with it! $125

Murad Acne Clearing Solution

I have been using this face wash for over a year now, and I really love it. I rarely have issues with acne anymore, but this takes care of those random pop up pimples before they can get too out of control. $25

Mario Badescu Skin Care foaming facial cleanser
I love this facial cleanser. I bought it at Ulta when i ran out of my Murad cleanser. This works just as well, but I ran out of it quicker. I like to switch between the two cleansers, because they are both pretty gentle but very effective. $15

Olay 7 Effects Moisturizer

I bought this just last week at Target. The coolest part of this moisturizer, is that it adds a slight tan glow to your skin! I put this on before bed, and i like it so far! $15

Burts Bees moisturizer

I put this on before bed sometimes as well. I love Burts Bees! $8

Korres face care

This moisturizer is a little more expensive, but is lasts for a long time! I use this before putting on my makeup, because it hides pores, and smells heavenly! $35

Cleansing clay mask

I can't emphasize enough how much I LOVE LUSH. They have every beauty product you could think of, and they are completely natural & don't test on animals! They have amazing products for both men and women. I love their face masks. They make them fresh and they run from $6-$20.  

Facial cleansing mask

My favorite mask from LUSH is their chocolate mask. It literally smells like chocolate, and I have to hold myself back from wanting to eat it! It feels great on your skin, and does a miracle on your complexion. 

Body Routine:

Philosophy bubble bath and body wash 

I love having a flowery sent in the shower, and I love Philosophy, so this is the best of both worlds! $23

Bobbi Brown 

My favorite trick for moisturizing is using body oil! If you don't want to spend money on the more expensive oils, baby oil by johnson & johnson works just as well! $25

Bath Bomb 

Bath bombs are my favorite thing to buy for a bubble bath. LUSH sells the coolest bath bombs, and they smell amazing! My favorite sent is twilight. I can't get enough! They turn your bath water into cool shades, some of them look like there is a  firework show in your tub! :) $5

Sunny Side

Lush also carries a bath bomb that is covered in glitter. Need I say more?

Library of Flowers eau de perfume

I discover this brand over the summer at a cute local shop. They carry great products, and I love the smell of their lotion. I use this after getting out of the bath or shower, and it leaves my skin silky smooth and smelling fabulous! $20

Well, that sums up my current beauty favorites! I hope you enjoyed my list & I hope you have a chance to try some of my favorite skin care products out. 

Have a wonderful week!
