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!

Battle of the BB Creams!

Hello everyone! Now as you all can tell, I love the Battle of the series. The reason why is because I can review a bunch of products for you all in one blog post. Since it is summer and not many of you want to wear a ton of make up, I thought I would tell you my favorite BB creams. I also want to let you know that there might not be many blog posts in the month of July. The reason is because I am in college at the moment and I am super busy. I will try to put up as many as I can but I just want to let you all know! :) I hoped you all had a wonderful June! What is a BB cream?    Now BB stands for blemish balm. A BB cream is supposed to have a moisturizer, primer, concealer, skin treatment and foundation all in one.

June Ipsy Bag 2015!

Hey everyone! I really need a better way to say hi to you all. If you have any suggestions, let me know! Today I am doing my June Ipsy bag! I am super pumped because whenever I get my Ipsy bags/ pouches I get to try different brands that I might not have ever heard about. I never look at a preview of what I am going to get because I always want it to be a surprise. So let's get started. Not going to lie, when I first got my Ipsy bag, I was a little disappointed. The reason why is because on the Ipsy Instagram page, they had so many products that I wanted to try like the Formula X nail polish and  the It Cosmetics brow pencil. But when I first looked at the products that I received, I was disappointed. The bag/pouch: This pouch is super simple but I really like it. This is the perfect pouch to keep all your make up in and throw it in your purse. I like how it is flimsy feeling but durable. Some of the Ipsy pouches are very sturdy and structured and I am not really a...
