Facial Yoga techniques for a more youthful looking face...

 

Happy Summer!!!! I know it has been a while since I have blogged ( please, please, please forgive me?!) Okay great :-) since that is now settled, I came across this article on facial yoga via the daily mail and I thought this was fun to share. Who doesn't want to try any and everything that will help our skin's appearance looking youthful? (meaning we need to look young for as long as we possibly could!) I will definitely be trying these facial exercises and hope you do too! Let me know your thoughts and if you notice any changes while doing these techniques! Let the facial yoga begin in 3-2-1...

Until later!

My April Faves!

Happy 1st day of April!!!!

I wanted to quickly share with you some of my favorite products that I will consistently continue to purchase because they are that AMAZING! These products are more beauty related versus makeup products which I am hoping you will enjoy trying out.

This past month I decided to take a little bit of a makeup break just to let my skin breathe and also because my makeup brushes have not been thoroughly cleaned (covering face) so with the help of my first favorite product, the ThirstyMud Glam Glow (middle right column, purchased at Sephora) I was able to rehydrate my skin. It has worked so well on my skin especially because the winter has dried out my skin so bad. I have been applying this every morning and night and leaving it on all day and overnight and the results are fabulous. My skin appears youthful, dewy and smooth. It is a bit on the pricey side but a little bit of this product goes a long way and it is worth every penny! Go ahead and ask for a sample at Sephora and give this baby a shot!

Another product that I am loving is the L'occitane Almond Shower Oil ( top right column, purchased at Sephora), since I have been using this shower oil my skin has been so smooth and soft. This oil also smells delicious if your into the almond scents (which I so am ;-)) You can also use this product on your hair and as a base to layer on for shaving. They have them in different sizes but I love it so much I bought the biggest size which cost me $32.00 at Sephora.

My third favorite is the Davines Nounou Hair Pak (bottom right column and can be found on Amazon). It's a restorative olive oil mask that has completely changed my hair conditioning habits. This one was recommended by a hair salon in Brooklyn and I am glad I decided to add this product onto my hair routine because it has softened out my very color treated hair. I use it once a week and let it sit for about 10 minutes but if you leave it on overnight, you will feel like you have a new set of hair on your hands!

Lastly, the Brazilian Spa Clay from Nair       ( left column, purchased at Walmart) has completely saved me time in the shaving needs department. I have very dry skin so shaving is pretty rough on my skin. I prefer to use a hair removal cream or wax ( but that's way to painful for my liking). I was skeptical about Nair because they normally smell very weird but I saw this Brazilian spay clay that was labelled mango scent so I gave it a try. I must say it's wonderful! Not only does it smell good but you can use it in the shower and it is pretty quick. It works for me in about 10 minutes. It leaves my skin very soft and most importantly not irritated.

I hope that you give these great products a try (I recommend getting samples first) and let me know what you think! If you have any recommendations for me to try please comment below! 

Sending you lots of love on the BEGINNING of a NEW month, and Happy April!!!! 

Peace and Love,

My February Faves!!!

Hello My Beautiful Rays of SUNSHINE!!!!

I say SUNSHINE in all caps because those who live in NYC know how crazy it has been these last few months! 

Anywho, I know it has been a while since I have posted and I am soooo very sorry I've left you out in the cold lol (no pun intended, well maybe just a little lol) BUT I promise to not to slack on my blogging anymore!!!

It's that time of the month again for my monthly favorites and above are the beauty products that I have been using consistently over the last month. I have taken a liking to them very much and would love for you to try them out and let me know your thoughts! 

Okay I will briefly mention my faves below from top left working my way to bottom right.
1. Top Left- MAC's Twig Lipstick- this has been my go to daily lipstick. It is such a beautiful soft pink brown and has enough color to make your lips pop slightly. Its so beautiful and delicate and I LOVE wearing it when I am feeling feminine and girly :-)
2. Top Middle- Loreal's Voluminous Mascara- has been my favorite for a while and I bought it again on sale for $4.99 at Walgreens!!! Such an inexpensive mascara and has expanded my lashes like no other mascara has! 
3. Top Right- Tarte's Amazonian Clay Foundation- It is completely full coverage and has such a nice smoothness to it. I love applying it to my face, it feels moisturizing and yet controls my oils not leaving me oily even at the end of the day! I really love this product. Check it out if you are into full coverage foundation.
4. Bottom Left- Real Techniques Makeup Brushes- SUPER SOFT and AFFORDABLE brushes that work better in my opinion than any other expensive makeup brush out there right now. I bought a set of 5 brushes on clearance at HARMON's Face Value Store and I paid $21.00!!!! I suggest you give these brushes a shot before you buy another name brand brush where the bristles are falling out the first time you wash (insert side eye here). Trust me, you will love these brushes!
5. Bottom Middle- TooFaced's Lip Insurance- I had this product for a while and let it just sit there while I was struggling with feathering lips on a daily basis. I was too lazy to take the extra step and prime my  lips with this product before applying lipstick and I am so glad I did. My lipstick and lip liner not only glided smoother but it made my lipstick last much much longer. Almost the entire day! I am always constantly drinking water and munching on snacks and even with that, it wouldn't budge :-) I'd say I'm a believer in this product.
6. Bottom Right- MAC's Brow Set in GirlBoy- I wanted to try something to lighten up my brows a bit because the darker brows were making me look extra pale :-/ and so I purchased this brow set. I really do enjoy it because it allows me to switch up my look when I want to wear something more subtle on any given day especially a work day! I do not always want to have dark brows on a daily basis especially if my makeup is softer and less harsh. Feel me? ;-)

If there are any recommendations of products you like/recommend and think I should try PLEASE feel free to comment below and let me know. I absolutely love trying new things and who doesn't like to take a trip to Sephora?!

Well, that will be all for now but I will be back very soon!!!!

Much Love,

Kerryann

Happy New Year!!!! Day 1 of a 365 page book....

Happy 2014!!!!!

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year filled with lots of Peace & Love!
This is not a rant about how much this is a "new year, new me" because everyone has their own timeline and ways about making change. It is all about when YOU are ready!

With that said, above is a video of all the wonderful things and people I have been blessed with this year and I am looking forward to a more BRILLIANT year for me, my friends and my family.

My goal this year is to SMILE OFTEN and FROWN LESS (Frowning causes wrinkles, who wants that?!) So, what is your goal? How will you SHINE this year? Today is Day 1 of a 365 page book. How will you write your story?

Cheers to 2014 and THANK YOU to everyone who has shown me nothing but LOVE & SUPPORT this year! Let's keep spreading the LOVE and continue the AWESOMENESS ;-)

I LOVE YOU LIKE XO,

Kerryann
