Extend your summer wardrobe into winter!

If you are anything like me, your wardrobe isn't nearly as big as you would like! And when winter comes (or any other season for that matter!), you find yourself wishing you had more clothes to wear....

Well, I have a wonderful idea for you!!


Wear your summer flowy dresses as a skirt by pairing it with leggings/stockings and a shirt! Take a look!

 This skirt is actually a spaghetti strap dress that I put a black shirt over!

I'm totally in love with these stockings!

This can totally extend your wardrobe and double your outfits!!

Winter clothes and summer dresses,

What would you like to see?!

Thanksgiving has come and gone - and somehow been even busier than years past... Can someone tell me when it became the end of November?!  I feel like it's still August!

I have had the busiest semester ever this semester (only one more to go when this one is finished!) and I know I haven't had the best or most consistent posts for the last few months because of it.  But I am so thankful for your love and support in these last few months!

I have been purposely posting less often but trying to have better posts in exchange!  I'm curious though, what do you want to see?

The countdown for Christmas is officially on!

Exfoliation wonder!

Winter can be super drying to your skin... the colder weather, the wind, and a decrease in water intake (it's not as hot so we don't drink as much!) all play a huge role in drying out your skin!

To make a bad situation worse, dry skin makes your makeup not look as good! Flakey foundations, splotchy application, and unblendability!
{Insert super duper frustration here!}

Now, insert exfoliating! Your winter skin's best friend!

Exfoliating lets you scrub off the dead skin cells on the very top layer of your skin making your skin extra glowy! And soft!

Having sensitive skin, exfoliation must be super gentle! One exfoliator that I am loving right now is

Origins' Modern Friction

4.2 fl oz $37.50 

Here is what Origins has to say about this exfoliator:
~~Sand-blasting skin with coarse, chemical crystals? How painfully passé. Here's age-smoothing exfoliation without irritation. Skin-refining Rice Starch, cushioned in cream, shows real affinity for rapidly removing sluggish cells, uneven patches and signs of skin damage and discolorations. Lemon Oil kick starts the process of illumination. Another age-sweeping action: skin-menacing molecules are mopped up. All while Aloe keeps skin calm and comfy. There's no ouch, extra steps or other complications. No redness or flaking follows. The before-and-afters are amazing. Signs of fine lines and size of pores appear to shrink in size. Skin looks perfectly polished, smooth and luminous. And the perk-me-up aromas of Bergamot and Peppermint help you look on the bright side. 
Origins tested Modern Friction™ on a panel of 54 women. After just one try, of those who had undergone clinical micro-dermabrasion, 94% said they would now consider using Modern Friction™ instead.~~

I have started using this every few days (maybe once a week) to help combat dry skin (If you've read my blog for long, you know I have oily skin! But right now I'm taking some medicine that causes dry skin) and it is wonderful! I use a little bit more than a pea size and rub it very very gently around my face for about a minute! Then I wash it off and go about my normal skin care regimen sans face wash!

Now I know Origins says that there isn't any redness afterwards, but I have really sensitive skin so I am a little red afterwards but it always goes away in a few minutes!

I highly recommend this exfoliator if you are looking for one!
