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

Invisible Illness Series: Support

Hello everyone! Today's blog post is going to be a little emotional but I feel like it will probably help so many of you all. One thing I have noticed with having Endometriosis is how many people just do not get it. They do not understand why I am constantly in pain. They think that the pain that I am experiencing on a daily basis is something that everyone experiences. It is not. People who suffer from chronic pain can go hours at a time in excruciating pain that honestly is indescribable. And even then if people physically see you in pain, they do not care.They just think you are either faking it or being over dramatic. Well to those people I have this to say, you should be ashamed of yourself. Why would anyone fake being in agony for hours at a time. Why would anyone feel the need to be stuck in bed for a long time just because they just "don't feel like getting up". I have a feeling that many of you have experienced people like that in your life. Well let m

Review: Victoria Secret Seamless Racerback Bra

Hey everyone! So I never see anyone reviewing sports bras! So today I decided to review one! Now I HATE sport bras. Every sports bra that I have ever tried either suffocates my boobs (TMI...sorry!) or they are way to lose to support my boobs when I am working out. Now I am addicted to Victoria Secret Pink. I absolutely love every thing they have. I own way to much stuff from them so when I saw this new sports bra, I had to try it. It is the Victoria Secret Pink Seamless Racerback Bra ! First Impression: I got it in the tie dye color in blue. When I first got it in the mail, the first thing I thought was how soft it was. Then I saw that it was a very thin material. I thought it was going to be a little thicker like most sports bras. I was kinda afraid that it will show my nips. (TMI!) I got it in a medium. First Time Wearing It: The first time I wore it was not to work out but to school. I got so many compliments from my friends. They all thought it was different because of

Book Review: Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs

Another book review!? Yes! Today I have another book review for you all and it is going to be a good one! So this novel was one of the galleys that my mom got for me at BEA. (Book Expo America) Just a warning is that this novel does not come out until September 23. But you can always pre-order it if you are interested. The novel is called Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs . Now I will give you a little background about why I read this book. When I was in 6th grade, my Biology teacher put on the show Bones for us to watch. And from that day to 10th grade, I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. Now to this day I love forensics, I think it is super fascinating but I am just not good at biology. Anyways, the show Bones was based off of Kathy Reichs and her life as a forensic anthropologist. Now a forensic anthropologist is someone who studies human bones and figures out what happened to that person. How they died, if they were murdered, did they have any health problems, stuff
