Good morning, everyone! xx
Daylight savings is in full effect and the chilly weather is at bay. During these times, my skin and hair are vital to my self-care routine! When it comes to choosing products and considering new podcasts to listen to, I go within. What determines what my body needs at a certain stage in time is what dictates how I will treat myself. See below some of my favorite self-care methods that I've been practicing lately.
1. Face Masks Frenzy
I have a combination of oily and dry skin, this allows me to choose the best skincare products that will accomodate my skin type. For face masks, I tend to move towards Collagen and Charcoal face masks for hydration and exfoliation!
Collagen helps increase skin moisture which is so important for these cold seasons ahead. I wouldn't say that it is the best to boost your skin's collagen but it will definitely replenish any moisture that you may lose during the daytime.
Charcoal face masks have been a huge help in removing dead skin in between facials. Not only do they help my skin stay soft, but it provides a really smooth base for makeup applications!
They are great to use after exfoliating your face and getting rid of unwanted bacteria or trapped dirt in your dermalayer.
As I said before, I have combination skin which can cause it to be oily more times than dry.
Charcoal helps absorb some of that oil which can prevent acne and other unwanted issues.

2. Spa Music Soothes the Soul
Do you ever wish that you were off somewhere listening to the peaceful sounds of waves crashing?
I'm not sure if it is because I am an Earth sign, but I really enjoy going to the beach!
It's a popular activity to do in the summertime, but what about the literal other six or seven months? The times where it may be too chilly to visit the serene site or it isn't time for a vacation yet.
During these times, I like to listen to Spa music. Not just when I am in the shower or doing a self-care ritual, but often times to lull me to sleep.
It may seem a bit unorthodox or out of reach, but it simply provides me so much comfort. To add or aid, switching to rain sounds is just as effective. Little had I known, this ritual was passed down to my younger sister. I recently learned that she does the same thing at times, to help her rest or ease her mind after a long day at school.
So ladies, it may not be for everyone but if you would like to try it, I definitely recommend playing some soft music or soothing sounds for a calming aspect. This can be during the daytime, nighttime, or any time in between. It may very well find it's way into your self-care routine!
3. White is the New Black!
During this time of year, we expect to see the color White almost every way that you turn.
Snow, elegantly falling from the sky and decorating the world in the most elegant way. In my opinion, it is the most pleasing season to the eye! Waking up and taking a look outside of the window to see a beautiful white and snowy scene every year, nothing beats it.
It almost instantly fills your heart with joy. A tradition that we've all known so well since our younger years.
White, along with Red, Green, and any other festive color that signals the most wonderful time of the year, is here. You'll see it in stores and homes for decorations that you will want to have around at all times, for everywhere you look will be a sight to see.
White comforter set, this is a personal preference. However ladies, I recommend it a hundred times over! Not only will it brighten your living space, but it will teach you responsibility. I've only had my set for a mere few months, and when I say I have never removed my makeup as the day comes to a close so much! I truly, have made it a point to take my makeup off more which has done wonders for my skin. Admitedly so, beforehand there were nights when I was simply too tired or the night had gone so well that I may have not been in a capable state.
Girls, do want to have fun!
The comforter set doesn't allow for that, it is an invisible warning or rule before you decide to take it home. Almost as if it is telling you that you must take care of it like it is a new pet!
Washing it weekly, is no joke. It certainly does a number on your laundry detergent as well.
It is definitely worth it, I recommend to all of you ladies who enjoy brightening up your living space!
Remember to take care of yourself! Your skin, health, and body is so important.
We are fashionable on the oustide, and healthy on the inside! Glowing inside and out.
Thank you for reading!
