Fancy by Jessica Simpson


While at work today I found a bottle of perfume that I had been looking for for quite a while now. The perfume is one from Jessica Simpson's perfume line and is called "Fancy".
 
The perfume smells amazing and I have received quite a few compliments on the scent. It's really hard to find a perfume that goes well with my body chemistry and thankfully this one meshes well with it.

It has a fruity feminine smell to it and it's very long lasting. I applied it this afternoon around noon and it was still lingering when I got home from work at 6. 

I looked up the scent notes and found that it is a vanilla based fragrance with top notes of red berries, pears and apricots. There are middle notes of caramel, gardenia, almond and my favorite scent Jasmine! Last but not least the base notes of amber and sandalwood.

 I woke up feeling off this morning. It Works sells a product called Just Celery. I made a glass of it and sat sipping it while doing a morning Zoom. You really have to like celery to really enjoy it.

Here's 5 things I do if I'm having a bad day


Everyone has bad days that tend to sneak up on them. How you react to them will result in how long the bad day will last. Change your mindset from negative to positive and you'll see the bad vanish and you'll find yourself having a good day.  

1. What are you grateful for?
I go over everything I'm grateful for once I wake up. Thank you for allowing me to wake up thins morning. Thank you for the ability to sleep in and wake up naturally to the sun streaming in through my windows. There's sooo much to be thankful for you just have to look.

2. Give myself a spa day! 
I have a spa day kit that has face masks, my favorite nail polishes and other relaxing things. I take a shower and put on a clean pair of pajama's and get to pampering myself. I always put on some calming music and I'll chill and watch a movie or two. my favorite's are currently "The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings" trilogy's. Both are on Amazon Prime video and are the extended versions. 

3. Meditation
It's super hard for me to meditate, I will be brutally honest about this. My mind is like a computer with 100+ tabs open and I have no bloody clue where the music is coming from and who's talking.  It's like I sit to meditate and there's the constant yacking of my thoughts. So I will lay down at the end of the night and meditate then with the lights off. When the lights go off my mind will begin to hush and it's easier for me to do it then. Also it helps to fall asleep because my body gets so relaxed. 

4. Reading
I'm currently reading the book by Graham McTavish and Sam Heughan "Clanlands". This is a great book. I really love it as it talks about the show the two of them are doing "Men in Kilts". 

5. Drink a cup of tea or coffee
Depending on my mood I'll make a cup of tea or coffee in one of my favorite cups, or I'll even grab a glass of wine if I'm feeling fancy. lol

My favorite skin care tips.


As a teen I washed my face three time's a day. In the morning, when I got home from school I washed the make up off and then again before bed. I was lucky that I really didn't have any skin problems.

I mean yeah I'd get a pimple here and there under my chin because I had a habit of resting my chin on my hands while in class. I'd also get them on my cheek every so often because I'd rest my head on my hand while watching video's in class, I mean c'mon.. some of those video's were bloody boring!!

One of my favorite go to's back then was Noxema and Clearasil! I still love me some  Noxema and have some of it in my bathroom, only now I tend to use it on sunburns and dry skin. it works wonders for both and I love it!

I always used the tinted Clearasil cream and then I was set. I never needed to put any foundation on when I wore that I just did the eye shadow, liner and mascara and lip gloss and I was ready to go to school. 

Now as an adult I have a different skin care routine. I'm using more "adult products" so to speak. The things I'm using now actually come from It Works! 
I wash my face with the Refresh cleanser. My skin feels so soft and clean. It has Chamomile in it. 

In the morning I use the Protect cream. It doesn't matter if I leave the house or not, I'm usually in  front of the computer screen so it helps to protect my skin against the blue light coming from the screen. I always add some of the Radiance cream to the Protect cream and apply them together. 

Then at night I use the Repair night cream. My skin feels and looks so much better than it did before. I can definitely see the results in my skin. My complexion is starting the even out and not look as blotchy and uneven. 

I always buy the It Works! BeautyWorks Collection.
It's definitely a game changer in my skin care routine!

Healthy hair habits I swear by


 I am a big fan of trimming my own hair. I've been doing this since I was a teenager. I've given myself so many bad bang cuts it's not even funny, the zig zag look amused me I guess.

I always wanted to be a hairdresser so I figured I'd use myself as a guinea pig. Needless to say I never because a hairdresser. Just couldn't cut it. lol

Now all I do is trim the rough edges and split ends. I usually keep my hair in a ponytail or up in a hair clip while I'm at work so it's not very noticeable. At least I don't think it is.

This is my weekly routine...

~ Washing your hair daily is really bad for you, your stripping away some much needed oils that keep your hair and scalp healthy. I was my hair and condition it every other day. I use Tresseme Full & Thick or Pantene's Repair & Protect, it depends on my mood to be honest.

~ Once a week I use a hair mask to add more really hydrate my hair. I actually don't have just one brand that I use, I love trying different kinds. 

~ I always brush my hair before taking a shower, this helps to combat my hair breaking. Wet hair  is more prone to breaking, so I brush it to help hinder that. 

~ They say you should have a hair cut every two months. This helps to keep your hair healthy. Personally, I haven't had a hair cut since last year. I do try to get one once a year though. I usually get one in July around my birthday on the 1st.

~ Last but not least leave in hair conditioner. I use Pantene's Pro Moisture Mist Detangler.

~ I also take care of my hair from within by drinking collagen and taking biotin supplements. I put my hair in a pony tail when heading for bed.

Loooove this stuff!

I have a face gel that I absolutely LOVE!  I bought this gel mask at 5 Below and lemme tell you.
I swear I'm going back and buying 10 more bottles!

I wash my face with the It Works Refresh face wash and then take a dime size ball of the gel and rub it on my face and neck all the while sighing happily as I do it.
I kid you not! LOL

Let me tell you, I finally found a product that doesn't leave a layer of stickiness or a heaviness on my skin after paying.
My skin literally absorbs it all in and it feels amazing.

Cannabis for your skin

I found some skin serum at work last week and it had cannabis in it. I didn't buy it at the time because I wasn't sure about it.
 
I do have lotion that has cannabis in it, it's called Hempz and it's for sensitive skin. lol I really like this lotion, just sayin.. My skin feel so soft after using it and it smells amazing!

I have been around people who smoke weed and the smell makes me gag it just smells disgusting to me. So I was hesitant to use any products that had hemp in them because I was worried about the smell. 

I did some research on the effects cannabis can have on your skin and I'm actually pretty impressed. ~ Cannabis is great for fighting skin infections and irritations.
~ It reduces the pain and swelling that can occur and the infused lotions will give your dry skin or rashes extra moisture.
~ It can be used to fight off wrinkles and lines thanks to the antioxidants that is in cannabis. 
~ Best of all from using cannabis you will get a healthy glow
