Avene Thermal Water

August 23, 2016

On Friday, I went to Serenity Health and Wellness Center’s NEW location in Perrysburg! I love their new location and took a few pictures so you could see what it looks like. This location is more in-depth with skin care and you can choose from many different skin care lines. I will post all about their new location with pictures later this week! About a month ago I got a normal facial which was amazing you can check out The Truth About Facials before we get started!

During my facial which like I said in the latest post is so important to maintain healthy and nourished skin! The difference between this facial and the one about a month ago is the thermal water! And if you’re like me you’re probably saying what is that? Well, this the latest trend in Europe and is slowing making it’s way to the U.S! The brand is called Avene. I am currently using the Avene Thermal Spring Water and these products were used during my facial.

In 2014, Avene got the #1 Skin Care Brand in Europe and it’s revolutionizing the skin care industry. It helps with people battling with psoriasis, eczema, hyper pigmentation, rosacea, skin recovery, and so much more! It is proven that people that have used medicated problems to treat these common symptoms are choosing this brand over the medication! It clears faster, and is less invasive, comfortable and sensitive to the skin.

It left my skin feeling so great and refreshed. Deriving straight from the Moutains in France, porous rock helps to filtrate the water making it a key substance in Avene’s successes! I have been using the Thermal Spring Water Misting Spray and love it! You can use it anytime of the day, anywhere, before your makeup, or after. Literally anytime! The results are great and I’m in love with their products! I know in the next year or two the U.S. and estheticians all over will be using their products because of the benefits and everyone loves it! It keeps your skin feeling the best it ever has. They have many different products you can chose to use from and are really affordable! I highly recommend any of their products to anyone! Serenity Health & Wellness Center in Perrysburg has an exclusive line of products from Avene!

Sunkissed Hawaiian Glow

August 21, 2016

This weekend I got every ounce of sunshine I could before heading off to College this week! I am so excited for the journey ahead. I wanted to make sure I was bronzed when I wear dresses next week to school so I decided to use the Maui Island Secret Tanning Oil. I was SO impressed and will definitely invest in their products for next summer! I never get super tan in the Summer, but I couldn’t believe how tan I got just in the two hours I was at the pool on Thursday! It gives you the perfect Hawaiian glow that everyone wants and is obsessing over!

To keep my skin from burning, I used SPF 50 before applying the oil. I still wanted to protect my skin from the harmful sun rays and still got so dark! These products are made from the beaches of Maui, not in a lab. Which makes their products so great and unlike any other! I let my friend use the oil, she usually uses an oil when tanning but she LOVED the Browning Formula! The smell is wonderful, the ingredients are natural, hydrating, and mostly organic derived from nuts in Hawaii and seeds used to extract their formulas.

Here are the ingredients:

Browning Formula: Tanning Oil

Organic Borage, a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic agent
Macadamia Nut
Aloe
Maui Coffee Extract
Organic Sunflower, rich in essential vitamins and at relieving skin irritations
Many more!

Tan Sealer: After Sun Lotion

Blueberry Fruit Extract, a super anti-oxidant with essential fatty acids
Hydralphatine Asia, combination of Asian aquatic plants (bamboo, lotus and water lily) for cell rejuvenation, super moisturizer and anti-aging
Superoxide Dismatuse, extracted from a French melon that can actually help repair skin already damaged by elements
Green Tea Extract
Vitamins A, C, and E
Many more!

Burn to brown: Burn Gel

Vitisvinifera (grape extract), anti-oxidant, anti-aging and a natural collagen booster
Superoxide Dismatuse
Many more!

After using the Browning Formula in the sun, I showered and get the oil off before heading out. Next, use the Tan Sealer, it literally seals the tan into your skin. This lotion is hydrating, non-greasy, and smooth. If you burn, I did not as I used SPF 50 before, you would apply the Burn Gel to the affected areas. It’s so awesome- it turns your burn into brown. When I used it before, it felt great! These products you will be hearing from me for quite some time- next summer or on Spring Break. I’m obsessed! My mom insists on using them soon too as she was impressed by the results. Better than a Spray Tan’s Bronzer, and lasts longer! Check out them out below…super affordable and great quality! Have a great week!! xoxo

Happy Monday! I can’t believe this summer is almost over! Not really sure I how feel about it… Although, I’m excited to be starting college next week, and seeing all the fall clothes arriving makes me really ecstatic! I am going to miss the late summer nights, having bonfires with friends, listening to country music, making smores on the campfire with family, to camping and pulling all nighters. I made memories that will last forever thanks to my best friends! I got pretty lucky and I am so excited to take on this next adventure with them!

Here are a few things you can’t live without this school year. Whether you’re dorming, commuting, or living in a house with friends- I highly recommend these! Everything ranging from a planner to a 17 month calendar to keep track of assignments, and weekly plans. To, a pair of fall heels, a gorgeous eyeshadow palette, one of the best mascaras, hair perfume, or even this adorable dress…who would’ve known?! If you’re on a tight budget these things you can share through out the school year and stock up to share with your roomies! With these you will be the most stylish and everyone will be wanting to invade your closet and makeup room! Here are some more of my favorites below!

My Morning Routine..

August 14, 2016

Today I am sharing my current morning and nightly skin care routine. I am so in love with these products I use them twice a day! Bioelement products are used in many facials around the world. Every morning and night, I am pampering myself with an at home facial! These products smell wonderful but are gentle enough for all skin types. They might be a little more on the expensive side, but you definitely get what you pay for. They last a long time and are top of the line when it comes to quality. That’s why many high end estheticians use their products during facials. It is so important to care for your skin at a very young age to prevent wrinkles, discoloration and acne scars.

I wash my face twice a day using Clean and Clear 3-in-1 cleanser. Then, I apply the Bioelements Acne Toner using a cotton ball all over my face. I just started using the Skin Brightener and love the results already. If you think your skin is dull, this will quickly change that! After being in the sun this summer, my skin is tight, with dark circles, and many freckles. If you think your skin needs a quick mist, or refresher? But, at the same time balances the skin? I love using the Equalizer. It takes the dullness and quickly makes your skin vibrant and refreshed. It’s important to use a SPF lotion before going outside since these products are revitalizing and you don’t want to burn since your skin will be more exposed. To top off this nightly skin care routine, I will use the Retinol Skin Care Day and/or night cream. I have been using their samples and love the way it makes my skin feel! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Below, are more things I love using to maintain great skin!

Something Black, Lace and Zaful

August 10, 2016

Ever since I started shopping at Zaful, I have loved each and every design and uniqueness of every outfit. Last week I posted a blue and white sleeve dress. Today, I am sharing this timeless classic black and lace romper from Zaful. They have so many trendy designs ranging from swim suits, to dresses, pants, and shirts. With their clothes, you will be the talk of the town! They have designs I have never seen before so I was excited to see what they had. This romper has a pleated bottom with a lace top. It accentuates my legs and is comfortable for someone tall like me. I personally like rompers that are not skin tight–I love them to be really comfortable and “flowy.”

The shopping experience was really easy and affordable. I was really impressed with the prices. This romper is a little shorter than I wanted so if your my height (5’8″ or taller) I recommend getting a medium; I’m wearing a small in the pictures above. Zaful exceeded my expectations overall, from the customer service to the packaging and managing their websites for purchases. I see many packages and you can tell by the packaging they truly care about every order. Shopping with Zaful was super quick, and easy. With my busy schedule I don’t have time to shop for hours on end, as much as I would like too! I hope you have a wonderful experience with Zaful like I did!

Darling Zaful Sleeve Dress

August 5, 2016

Happy Friday everyone! Today, I am sharing a summer-time blue stripped, half sleeved summer dress from Zaful. It’s lightweight, accented with a bowknot belt, and an A-line silhouette for simple elegance. Zaful is my new favorite store to shop at. I couldn’t believe how affordable their clothes were. The shopping experience was great with exceptional customer service. It was easy to navigate and quickly find what I was looking for. With my busy schedule, I don’t have hours to look for clothes online so this was a one-stop shop for me. They have everything ranging from swim suits, to dresses, shoes, and accessories. You can pair a whole look at this one-stop shop under $100! In today’s look I paired this dress with a fedora {similar style here}, a light pink Kate Spade purse, diamond stud earrings, and flats.

Most of the time when you order online it seems like the clothes were just shoved in a bag and they come out really wrinkled. The clothes I received were covered in a plastic wrapping to adhere any damages. I did have to use a steamer to get some of the wrinkles out. However, next time I would wear a tank top under the dress because in the sunlight it was a little bit see through but, I always wear them under my clothes so for you it might be perfect! I personally just feel more comfortable when I wear tank tops. Also, I would get a bigger size because as tall as I am, it ran a little short on me, but other than that I loved it! I haven’t seen a dress with this type of sleeves before and thought it was so unique. If you haven’t check out Zaful before this would be the perfect time to stock up on your back to school needs! Have a great weekend everyone!!
