My mom always taught me the importance of cleansing your face, using a toner, and applying a moisturizer. Of course I thought I was invincible when I was younger, so I didn’t listen to my mother’s advice about taking care of my skin now. But in the past year, I’ve made it a priority to always cleanse my face after wearing make up, using a toner, and moisturizing. The difference in my skin and the feel of it was almost immediate. I think every female should adapt some kind of skin care regimen they do every morning. So now let’s talk hair. Living in Colorado Springs is an entirely different beast. It’s very dry here so, I had to switch up my natural hair care and beauty...

Beauty blender is a non disposable sponge applicator used to flawlessly apply your makeup. For sensitive, easily irritated skin or skin with active inflammation due to blemishes or Rosacea, the beauty blender is wonderful because it’s so gentle and non-abrasive. HOW TO -- USE A BEAUTY BLENDER SPONGE: Wet your beauty blender and squeeze out the excess moisture. You want the sponge to be barely damp when you're using it. Apply your foundation to the back of your hand or a flat surface and dip the rounded end of the Beauty blender into it. Begin to apply your foundation by stippling or bouncing the Beauty blender all over your face. No need to press into the skin too hard; the beauty blender sponge will do most of the work...

One of my favorites for dry hair is simply basic olive oil, which can be used daily or applied heavily with a plastic cap the night before shampooing. Shampoo hair at least once a week even when it is colder! Contrary to popular belief, we should wash our hair at least once a week followed by a moisturizing conditioner, regardless of the changing...
