My Essentials
My Essentials
I decided to share my favorite products and hacks with you. Here you will find what I use everyday, my holy-grail products. In an effort to share with some of my close friends I figured I might as well share them with you too, I promise these products are worth your time.
XOXO,

· Mario Badescu Drying Lotion- this is my go to pimple killer. Put a dab on your spots at night and the next day there is a huge difference! Two days and your pimple is gone… I’m telling you this stuff works.

· Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herb and Rosewater- This stuff is AMAZINGGG, I’m in love with it. I spray it on my face to set my makeup, before I do my makeup to refresh it and after I wash my face then I apply moisturizer.

· Vanishing Cream from Lush- Lush products are some of my favorites! Everything is vegan, no animal testing and real ingredients in all their products. Getting my skin where I’ve wanted it has been a rollercoaster but this moisturizer has been a staple product through everything. I highly highly recommend.

· Face Masks- Heck to the yes! I’m a little obsessed what can I say. But I gotta say even though they are super cute and fun they really do benefit your skin in so many ways. Everyone’s skin is different so I linked a few down below but I truly recommend taking a trip to lush and they will help you pick the perfect one for your skin!

· Liquid Illuminator- This is a makeup product I have loved all summer and I still love. This product gives you the perfect glowy fresh-faced look. You can wear it all by its self which I do a lot with just a little mascara or you can wear it under your regular makeup OR mix with your foundation to give your face the perfect dewy coverage. These are a few of my favorites…

· Dry Shampoo- okay so if you’re someone like me and genetics cursed you with oily skin and hair this stuff is a lifesaver. If your hair gets a little oily and you just washed your hair last night like me… spray some of this stuff and ready to keep on doing whatever you have planned.

· Checkered Vans- My all time favorites! I love them so much, even if they don’t match I wear them. I think they add a little spunk plus they are super comfortable.

· Planner- So I forget a lot, and I lot of what I forget I really need to remember so I decided to invest into a planner. So far so great, it has helped A LOT! I know a lot of people already have them and if you don’t go out and get one. Here are a few.

· Big T-shirts: Start your collection now, best things ever. Wear them to bed, wear them as dresses, wear them over workout clothes. Wear them whenever. I love to steal my dads or buy them from thrift stores. Thrifts stores T’s are my favorites because I can cut them up and make them unique
· A good book: it may sound cliché but truthfully it is relaxing. Reading a book lets you take your mind off of real world stress and makes you smarter! Lol. Also opt for reading a little before bed versus being on your phone it helps your brain relax and allows your body to fall asleep much faster.
Books I recommend: Looking for Alaska, Luckiest Girl Alive, Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children and currently I am reading Lilac Girls
· WATER!!! You need water, I’m telling you it helps with everything! From Acne to loosing weight to keeping you from getting sick it basically helps everything. Water water water, always have some on you and hydrate ladies and gents!
