My Shower Routine!

From the day I was born, my mom used to shower me every morning and every night. It was like a ritual and me and my brothers grew up showering every day at least twice. Now that I am older I still enjoy my showers so so much…they make me feel clean, peaceful, and happy (no joke). I feel that when I shower at night I am getting rid of all the bad energies before laying down on my bed. No matter how tired I am, my night time shower is a must. While in the shower I take care of my hair, my face, and my body. I exfoliate my body once a week with my KOPARI COCONUT CRUSH SCRUB which leaves my body super soft and hydrated. I exfoliate my face 2-3 times a week with ACURE BRIGHTENING FACIAL SCRUB which has organ stem cell and chlorella and leaves my skin so bright, clean, and soft. Before I exfoliate my face I always wash it first with my JOANNA VARGAS VITAMIN C FACE WASH which I love because it never leaves my skin with that tight/dry feeling. My skin feels clean but soft. One of the most important things in my shower is my loofah. I use my loofah to wash my entire body in circular motions with the LUSH “BEAUTIFUL” SHOWER GEL. This shower gel has the most amazing  and magical smell. I feel like if unicorns had an official shower gel this would be it.  Using a loofah everyday helps to stimulate circulation which reduces cellulite…amazing! Last but not least is my favorite hair product which for your surprise is not dry shampoo but the MOROCCAN OIL INTENSE HYDRATING MASK. Let me tell you that this is the best hair mask I have ever tried. I use it at least once a week and leave it on while I am doing all the other things in the shower. When my hair starts drying I can feel how smooth and soft it feels and looks great. It really makes a difference on my hair. There you go…those are my favorite products to use in the shower. Try one of these and make your shower time the most amazing ritual for your mind and body’s well being 😉

Always in my bag…

These items are always…ALWAYS in my bag! On regular days I do not wear much make-up, but I do not like to look dull or washed out. I carry these 5 beauty must-haves everywhere I go.

I love cream blushes…I like that they look so natural and give a flushed healthy look. Sometimes powder blushes look too chalky on my skin and do not look that natural. I love the glow that  LE BLUSH CREME DE CHANEL gives to my face. It makes me look so fresh =) I wear color 66 FANTASTIC which is like a pinkish-fuschia. You need just a dab on your cheeks and lips and VOILA!!! You can find this creme blush at any department store or at http://www.chanel.com

Another blush that I love is the JOSIE MARAN COCONUT WATERCOLOR CHEEK GELEE in GETAWAY RED. This dark red tint gives you such a natural healthy look its crazy!!! Plus it is all natural and made with coconut water to keep your skin moisturized and glowy. You can find this at http://www.sephora.com

Next is my favorite concealer in the world: SARAH McNAMARA MIRACLE SKIN TRANSFORMER EYE AND FACE CONCEALER. I wear this on all my imperfection and it has a velvety texture that blends so perfect with my skin tone. My skin looks flawless after I use it. I wear the medium shade. You can find this product at http://www.nordstrom.com or at http://www.gilt.com which they sometimes have it on sale 😉

My PACIFICA COLOR QUENCH LIP TINT in VANILLA HIBISCUS has been my go-to lip balm for a while now. I feel like a lot of lip balms dry out my lips so when I find something that actually keeps them moist and plumped I try to stick to it. I buy mine at wholefoods but you can find it at http://www.amazon.com or natural beauty stores.

Last but not least is my mini perfume from ATELIER COLOGNE in ORANGE SANGUINE. I have the full size bottle in my bathroom but always carry this 0.25 oz. In my bag. The smell is so perfect…fresh but not too fresh like a hand sanitizer if you know what I mean 😉 The smell is citrusy and fresh with a hint of sweetness. You can mix it with other perfumes. I usually wear this scent with VANILLE INSENSEE from the same brand. Truly irresistible and lasts for hours. You can find this brand at http://www.sephora.com

I will be posting more of my faves soon!!!
