Bye Bye Stretch Marks!



Hi everyone!
I am sorry I have not posted a blog post in a couple of days! I was not feeling well but I am back and ready to blog again!

Now this blog post is a little personal but I feel like almost everyone suffers with it.....and it's stretch marks! Stretch marks are when light or dark lines appear on your stomach or thighs when you have gained weight or  when the elasticity in your skin has stretched.

I used to have stretch marks on the sides of my stomach and it made me very self conscience of my stomach. The reason why I got stretch marks was because I had gained a lot of weight in a short amount of time. But with these two products the stretch marks are almost gone!

Now I will tell you my secret tip to lightening your stretch marks and soon they will be gone!
The first product to use is the Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E Cream Unisex by Palmer's. I have used this for years before I started to get stretch marks. This is a very thick cream that rejuvenates your skin and after you put it on and leave it there for a couple of hours, your skin looks amazing! Now this cream is targeted for people who have stretch marks or dry skin because cocoa is actually really good for lightening up stretch marks. If you do not like the smell of cocoa, the scent of cocoa is there but it is not overpowering.

The next product is Coconut Oil! This product is amazing. I get my coconut oil at Trader Joe's but you can get coconut oil anywhere. Now I just recently started using this and mixing it with the Cocoa Butter and both of them together=perfection. Coconut Oil not only helps the stretch marks but mixing the two products together makes your skin glow. So if you want a J-Lo glow....put the Palmer's Cocoa Butter first then the Coconut Oil. The problem is people who do not like the smell of coconut....do not get this. This smells like coconut and the smell is pretty strong.

Now I recommend putting these products on before you go to sleep to let the products sink into your skin. Doing this "routine" when you have a pamper day.....is the best! The reason why is because you have your mask on, you are all covered in cream that smells nice and you are painting your nails. It is very relaxing.

I hope you all enjoy this blog posts! Tell me any other tips you want me to talk about! I hope you all have a wonderful day/night!
Carpe Diem

Beauty and Random Favorites for 2014!

Happy 2015 Everyone! I hope that the start of 2015 is going well for you all. I am super excited to be sharing my top 2014 products with you. At the end of the blog post, I will be sharing some random favorites as well. I hope you all enjoy! Face: I have two favorite foundations for 2014. The first one is a high end foundation and it is the  Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- Hour Full Coverage Foundation . I have the shade Medium-Tan Honey. This is my special occasion foundation. Since it is pretty expensive ( $38) I do not want to use it every day. My favorite part of this foundation is how much it looks like skin on your face but it looks like a more flawless version of my skin. But I personally do not like the cake face look and I like the more natural look and this foundation gives it to me. The second foundation is from the drugstore and it is the  Loreal True Match Super-Blendable Make up . I am in the shade W3. I heard about this foundation all over YouTube but ...

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. Now that I have started talking about spring, I am so ready for it!  My last post  was about my favorite spring trends for 2014 and today I want to talk about nail polish! I love nail polish. It makes me so happy when I am writing notes and all of a sudden I look down and see my nails painted in a pretty color. It brightens my day! It's all about the small things in life. Essie's Play Date This color just screams spring to me. This is one of my all time favorite nail polishes and every time spring and summer comes around, this is the first nail polish I put on.  You're Such a Budapest This color is gorgeous. I do not personally own this color....yet! I will be getting it this spring because this is like a lavender/periwinkle purple. This color is a perfect color to transition color from winter to spring. Essie's Sand Tropez  This is another color that I don't own.....but I will. I honestly think ...

January Random Favorites 2015!

Hello Everyone! It is my first favorites blog post of the new year! How exciting! So January was not a good month at all for me. I was extremely sick and I was getting back to college and  I moved dorm rooms so I was adjusting to that as well, so that is why I don't have any make up favorites. I started wearing make up and playing with make up during the last month of January so all the make up that I have been loving will be in my next favorites. But January was all about movies and TV shows. My first favorite of the month and the biggest favorite in January was Reign. If you love Vampire Diaries. You will love this show. Reign is just ..... no words can even describe how good it is. It is about Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scotland and how she has to marry Prince Francis of France, soon to be the king of France. The whole show is based on what happens in the castle between Francis and Mary as well as France and Scotland. This show is filled with passion, danger and streng...
