This post is sponsored by Sanofi Consumer Healthcare but all opinions and images are my own. I wish I was dreaming of the beach and sunshine on these gloomy Pittsburgh days! I can’t wait to snuggle up in my cozy bed and have sweet dreams, but it suddenly comes to a halt. I twist and turn and can’t seem to turn off my mind and rest. I have an on-going to do list in my head. Finish all my work tasks, have a social life, make it to dinner with parents, visit my friends. Is getting a good night’s sleep hard to come by these days for you too? I’ve been struggling for a good night’s rest for these days. I decided to try something new, so I headed over to my local Target and picked up the new Unisom Simple Slumbers, from the #1 doctor recommended over the counter sleep aid brand, Unisom. Target now has another product I can’t leave without buying. I picked out the Raspberry flavor and ...

Beach Curly Waves- Hair Tutorial
Crazy Curly Carrie Bradshaw Hair Inspiration The Inspiration: As I crawl into bed at night, I have a go-to show that I am watching for the millionth time. It involves men, love, New York City and best friends. Can you guess which show it is? If you guessed, Sex and the City, you are right! I am rewatching the season from the beginning, it's one of my favorite shows because it's very relatable. Especially now that I'm single, I feel like I can really to relate to the earlier seasons when they are still looking for their matches. I love all the characters because they bring a different perspective and let's confess we all have friends that exude their personalities. If I had to pick, my favorite character would be Carrie Bradshaw. I love her upbeat personality, her love of beautiful shoes and her big heart. She's a total hopeful romantic! This hairstyle is inspired by the one ...
My Morning and Nightly Skincare Routine
Sharing My Most Used Skincare Products Skincare is always a hot topic. What products can I use to make my skin perfect, pore-less, acne-free, wrinkle-free? Well the short answer is there not just one special product that will erase all of the negative things you do not like about your skin or complexion. However, I’ve come across a few products that are helping to clear up my skin, little by little. I suffer from hormonal and cystic acne. Plus my pores suck!! ugh. I think it’s genetics because my whole family has experienced similar problems too. My skin and I have been on a roller-coaster of emotions.

If your new to my blog, welcome!! I absolutely love skincare and want to share more tips and products to add to your daily beauty routine. I have very sensitive combination skin and get nervous to try new products in fear of breaking out. On the other hand, my skin gets use to continuous use of the same products so I like to give my skin a break and try out some new ones! This is where my top 5 favorite serums come in, because I like to alternate between use. At a young age my mother and grandmother taught us to always take good care of your skin. It's the largest external organ on your body- treat it with love and respect! You always hear "drink a lot of water it's good for your skin!" True- but that's only a small bit of the battle. Genetics, hormones and weather take a major tolls on the skin. Not only was I never blessed with clear porcelain skin but I feel like I have had ...
