IT'S GLOW TIME!

HELLO BEAUTIES! I'M SUPER EXCITED TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT A TOPIC I FEEL VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT. CLEAR, RADIANT SKIN! HOW TO GET IT-AND HOW TO KEEP IT! THROUGHOUT THIS POST I'LL BE SHARING MY TOP 10 FAVORITE SKINCARE PRODUCTS THAT I BELIEVE CAN HELP GET YOU ON THE RIGHT TRACK TO HAVING THE SKIN YOU DESERVE! 
*TIP*: BECOME A CREATURE OF HABIT! ARE YOU COMMITTED? YOU NEED TO BE. DAILY CONSISTENCY IS THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE FULL BENEFIT OF THE PRODUCTS YOU'VE INVESTED IN! WITH SOME PRODUCTS YOU'LL SEE IMMEDIATE RESULTS, BUT OTHERS CAN TAKE UP TO 60 DAYS TO SEE A FULL TURNAROUND. SO LET'S TALK REGIMEN. DO YOU HAVE ONE? IF NOT, YOU WILL AFTER READING THIS POST! BELOW IS A DETAILED, STEP BY STEP DESCRIPTION OF MY DAILY ROUTINE. AFTER READING IT BACK TO MYSELF, I REALIZED IT SOUNDS PRETTY HIGH MAINTENANCE. HOWEVER, I PROMISE YOU THE ENTIRE PROCESS  FROM START TO FINISH TAKES ME NO LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES. 
STEP #1: I HAVE A STRICT 2X2 RULE WHEN IT COMES TO MY CLEANSING ROUTINE. I DOUBLE CLEANSE MY SKIN, TWICE A DAY. THAT'S RIGHT, NOT ONCE- BUT TWICE. WHY? THE FIRST TIME AROUND I'M REMOVING THE OBVIOUS. MAKEUP,DIRT, AND OIL. FOR THIS I USE THE GLYMED MEGA PURIFYING CLEANSER. IT'S SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO REMOVE STUBBORN COSMETICS, WITHOUT DRYING OUT MY SKIN. 
THE SECOND WASH IS NECESSARY TO BREAK DOWN ANY LINGERING BACTERIA THAT'S ON STANDBY, JUST WAITING TO CLOG MY PORES AND RUIN MY DAY. I PREFER GLYMED GENTLE FACE WASH, BECAUSE IT CONTAINS 10% GLYCOLIC ACID TO HELP KEEP MY BREAKOUTS AT A MINIMUM. FOR BOTH WASHES, I RECOMMEND JUST USING YOUR FINGERTIPS. WASHCLOTHS AND OTHER DEVICES CAN TRAP AND SPREAD BACTERIA. 
STEP #2: FOLLOWING MY MORNING CLEANSING ROUTINE, I USE THE STRAWBERRY RHUBARB DERMAFOLIANT . THIS PRODUCT IS GENTLE ENOUGH FOR ME TO USE EVERYDAY, BUT STRONG ENOUGH WHERE I TRULY NOTICE A DIFFERENCE AFTER EACH USE. MY PORES GET CLOGGED REALLY EASILY, SO MANUAL EXFOLIATION IS ULTRA-IMPORTANT. THE EXFOLIANT DRIVES IN DEEP AND REMOVES DEAD SKIN CELLS BEFORE THEY CLOG MY PORES. TO ME, IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO DO THIS STEP IN THE MORNING BECAUSE IT'S ALSO TIGHTENING AND BRIGHTENING MY SKIN, AND LEAVING ME WITH AN EVEN TEXTURE TO RECEIVE AN EVEN APPLICATION OF MY MAKEUP. 

 STEP #3: MY FACE IS NOW PREPPED AND READY TO RECEIVE THE GOODS THAT A TONER HAS TO OFFER! SOME PEOPLE VIEW THIS STEP AS OPTIONAL, BUT NOT ME. WHY WOULD I MISS OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO TO RECEIVE AN EXTRA BOOST OF HYDRATION? I WOULDN'T. STONE CROP HYDRATING MIST IS IDEAL FOR MY FAIR SKIN BECAUSE IT HELPS LIGHTEN UP OLD PIGMENTATION CAUSED FROM PREVIOUS ACNE OR SUN DAMAGE. IT ALSO REMOVES ANY LINGERING SURFACE IMPURITIES THAT KEEP MY SKIN FROM LOOKING AS FRESH AS POSSIBLE.
STEP #4: TREAT YOURSELF TO A MASQUE. THIS IS WHERE THE REAL MAGIC HAPPENS. I'M TALKING INSTANT RESULTS! ON AVERAGE, I APPLY A FACIAL MASQUE 1-2 TIMES A WEEK. SOMETIMES MORE OFTEN IF MY SKIN IS GIVING ME TROUBLE. IT'S CRUCIAL TO MASQUE WHEN YOU REALLY HAVE THE TIME TO LET IT SOAK IN. (10-60 MIN). I ROTATE BETWEEN THESE 3, DEPENDING ON WHAT MY SKIN'S NEEDS ARE AT THAT MOMENT. MY FAVORITES ARE THE CLEAR SKIN PROBIOTIC MASQUE8 GREENS PHOTO MASQUE (HOT), AND THE HUNGARIAN HERBAL MUD TREATMENT. 



STEP #5: NEXT UP IS A FACIAL SERUM OR OIL. I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING. YOU WANT ME TO PUT OIL ON MY ACNE PRONE SKIN? NOT A CHANCE. I GET IT, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING. START SMALL. THE TRUTH IS, MANY OILS CAN ACTUALLY HELP YOU REGULATE OIL PRODUCTION. THE TRICK IS UNDERSTANDING THAT NOT ALL OILS ARE CREATED EQUAL, SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO RESEARCH WHICH ONE WILL BE MOST FITTING FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE. START OUT BY TRYING TRY 1-2 DROPS. IT'S CRUCIAL THAT YOU APPLY THIS AND LET IT SOAK IN FOR 5 MINUTES BEFORE APPLYING YOUR MOISTURIZER. MY TWO FAVORITES ARE THE STONE CROP SERUM, AND FACIAL RECOVERY OIL. THEY BOTH FIRM AND TIGHTEN SKIN, MOISTURIZE IN A CELLULAR LEVEL, AND ARE PACKED FULL OF ANTIOXIDANTS. I WANT MY SKIN TO STAY LOOKING YOUNG FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, AND THIS IS MY TICKET.


STEP #6: DURING THE COLD, DRY, WINTER MONTHS I LIKE TO FINISH OFF MY SKIN REGIME WITH A LIGHTWEIGHT MOISTURIZER. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE OBVIOUS REASONS-HYDRATION, SPF,(AHEM, WRINKLE REDUCTION ANYONE?) BUT ABOVE ALL I MOISTURIZE BECAUSE OF THE IMMEDIATE EFFECTS I RECEIVE. I LOVE THAT GLOWY, DEWY EFFECT IT GIVES MY SKIN.  
WELL, THERE YOU HAVE IT! I TRULY BELIEVE WITH MY ENTIRE HEART AND SOUL THAT HAVING BEAUTIFUL SKIN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT KEY TO FEELING LIKE YOUR BEST, MOST GORGEOUS SELF ON A DAILY BASIS! EVERY CENT I'VE EVER INVESTED IN PRODUCT HAS BEEN SO WORTH IT, BECAUSE AS CHEESY AS IT MAY SOUND, YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO INCREASE YOUR SELF ESTEEM!
 THE BEAUTY DESTINATION  IS MY FAVORITE ONLINE SKINCARE RETAILER, NOT ONLY BECAUSE THEY CARRY THE FULL LINE OF EMINENCE PRODUCTS FOR ME TO CHOOSE FROM, ( I WANT TO KNOW ALL MY OPTIONS, YA KNOW? ;) BUT BECAUSE OF THE PASSION & KNOWLEDGE THEY OFFER ON EACH AND EVERY PRODUCT.  THEY'RE COMMITTED TO HELPING RAISE AWARENESS TO ANYONE IN SEARCH OF BEAUTIFUL SKIN! NEED PROOF? THEY'RE OFFERING ALL OF MY READERS A 20% DISCOUNT ON ALL ORDERS PLACED BEFORE FEB 1ST, 2015! JUST ENTER THE CODE "GLOWTIME" AT CHECKOUT!

AQUARIUS-101! (JAN 21- FEB 19TH.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AQUARIANS! SINCE IT'S CURRENTLY OUR TIME TO SHINE, I THOUGHT I'D OFFER A BIT OF INSIGHT INTO THE WORLD THAT IS US!
BEFORE RESEARCHING/ WRITING THIS POST, I WASN'T SURE IF I BOUGHT INTO THE WHOLE "WHAT'S YOUR SIGN" THING. IF I'M BENG TOTALLY HONEST, I GUESS I'M STILL A BIT SKEPTICAL. REGARDLESS, I THINK IT'S SO FUN TO RESEARCH MY SIGN AND FIND OUT A LITTLE MORE ABOUT "ME". AND I WILL SAY- THE LATEST INFORMATION I'VE GATHERED ON AQUARIANS SEEMS PRETTY TRUE TO FORM! SO HERE YOU HAVE IT! 
  • AQUARIUS IS A VERY FREE SPIRITED, STUBBORN, UNPREDICTABLE SIGN. THOSE BORN WITH THIS SUN-SIGN ARE OFTEN GIVEN TO A WIDE RANGE OF EMOTIONS, AND TO INDECISION. 
  • AQUARIANS LOVE TO EXPERIENCE LIFE ON OUR OWN CONDITIONS.
  • AQUARIANS ARE EXTREMELY PASSIONATE ABOUT MUSIC, ART, PHILOSOPHY AND TRAVEL. 
  • AQUARIANS ARE INSIGHTFUL. WE INSPIRE OTHERS TO REFLECT ABOUT LIFE, BECAUSE WE'RE CONSTANTLY THINKING AND QUESTIONING THE NORM.
  • WE TEND TO APPROACH SEX VIA THE MIND. IF WE CAN SHARE AND DISCUSS OUR THOUGHTS WITH OUR LOVER, OUR SEXUAL DRIVE IS GREATLY ENHANCED. 
  • WE LIKE TO CONNECT WITH OTHER PEOPLES EMOTIONS, BUT OFTEN LET OUR WAY OF THINKING GET IN THE WAY OF THAT. 
  • WE'RE FASCINATED BY EVERYTHING, AND ARE ATTRACTED TO MANY VARYING HOBBIES. 
  • WE RESPECT ORIGINALITY, AND LIKE TO BE DIFFERENT.
  • WE'RE NATURAL OBSERVERS, AND LEARN THE BEST THIS WAY. 
  • AQUARIANS ARE BOTH SOCIAL AND A LONERS, VARYING BETWEEN THE TWO.
  • AQUARIANS MAKE GREAT LEADERS.
  • ONCE AQUARIANS MAKE UP THEIR MIND ABOUT SOMETHING, NOTHING CAN CONVINCE THEM TO CHANGE WHAT THEY BELIEVE. 
  • AQUARIANS ARE ROMANTICS.
  • AQUARIUS IS THE SIGN OF FRIENDSHIP, THEREFORE REMAIN VERY LOYAL TO OUR RELATIONSHIPS. AQUARIANS ATTRACT MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF FRIENDS.
  • AQUARIANS LIKE TO KEEP OUR OPTIONS OPEN.
  • AQUARIANS TYPICALLY MOVE AT A QUICK PACE AND CAN OFTEN BE IMPATIENT.
  • AQUARIANS VALUE OUR INDEPENDENCE AND ARE DRIVEN BY OUR PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENTS.
  • AQUARIANS WILL OFTEN CHANGE THEIR MIND ABOUT THINGS, AS THE MOOD SUITS THEM.
  • AQUARIANS TEND TO BE SELF CENTERED.
  • AQUARIANS ARE NONCONFORMISTS. WE DON'T PUT TOO MUCH CONCERN INTO WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK. 
  • ON A BAD DAY AQUARIANS MAY BE LEFT FEELING REBELLIOUS AND DETACHED.
  • ON A GOOD DAY AQUARIANS HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND CAN BE EXTREMELY WITTY AND CLEVER.






SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? DOES ANY OF THIS SUND LIKE YOU?!

RUN WITH IT.

HELLO BEAUTIES! LET'S CHAT FOR A SECOND ABOUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE TREND'S THAT I'VE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF THIS SEASON. STYLIZED TENNIS SHOES!!! BEING A HAIRDRESSER WHO SPENDS 10-12 HOURS A DAY ON MY FEET, YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW EXCITED I AM ABOUT THIS LATEST FASHION CRAZE! I'VE ALWAYS BEEN DRAWN TO MORE URBAN "STREET STYLE" FASHION BECAUSE IT'S REAL-LIFE, WEARABLE FASHION. WHEN IT COMES TO MY SHOE GAME, WHAT'S MORE FUNCTIONAL THAN A PAIR OF SNEAKERS?! I'VE NEVER BEEN SOMEONE WHO WILL SACRIFICE PAIN FOR STYLE. I JUST CAN'T DO IT. I'D BE A MISERABLE HUMAN BEING IF I HAD TO WALK AROUND IN HEELS ALL DAY. (HENCE THE REASON I OWN 20+ PAIR OF BOOTIES.) IF YOU'RE UNSURE ON HOW TO PAIR YOUR SNEAKERS WITH ANYTHING BESIDES GYM CLOTHES, GLANCE THROUGH THE IMAGES BELOW AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN GAIN A BIT OF INSPIRATION!

UNPLUGGED. A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN INTROVERT.

THESE DAYS, GETTING GROUNDED OR SENT TO "TIME OUT" WOULD BE CONSIDERED A LUXURY. YOU SEE, I'M YOUR QUINTESSENTIAL  SOUL SEARCHING, SELF REFLECTING, INTROVERT. I SAY THIS WITH COMPLETE ACCEPTANCE AND APPRECIATION, I JUST WISH I COULD HAVE HAD THIS REALIZATION EARLIER ON IN MY LIFE.
 IT WASN'T UNTIL ABOUT A YEAR AGO THAT I REALLY LEARNED WHAT BEING AN "INTROVERT" REALLY MEANS. 
  MOST PEOPLE WOULD CATEGORIZE THIS TRAIT AS BEING "SHY", BUT THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY ALWAYS THE CASE. IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR NATURAL RESPONSE TO SOCIAL STIMULATION. PUT SIMPLY, DO YOU RECEIVE ENERGY BY BEING AROUND OTHERS, OR ARE YOU LEFT FEELING DRAINED AND IN NEED OF YOUR ALONE TIME IN ORDER TO FEEL RECHARGED ? FOR EXAMPLE: AFTER WATCHING WAY TOO MANY CHICK FLICKS ( ALL OF WHICH SEEM TO TAKE PLACE IN MANHATTAN) THE IDEA OF LIVING IN A BIG CITY USED TO SEEM LIKE A DREM! THE REALITY IS, WHENEVER I SPEND LONGER THAN 3 DAYS IN ONE I'M LEFT FEELING DISTRACTED AND OVERWHELMED. THE NEED TO BE "ON" THE SECOND I STEP OUTSIDE MY HOTEL SUDDENLY MAKES ME ALL TOO AWARE THAT UNTIL I GO BACK INSIDE, I'M GOING TO BE SURROUNDED BY ENDLESS SEAS OF PEOPLE . ALSO, THE WHOLE BIG CITY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM JUST DOESN'T DO IT FOR ME. I LOVE DRIVING! IT'S MY ALONE TIME TO SIP ON COFFEE AND GET LOST IN MY THOUGHTS, OR FULLY ENJOY WHATEVER MUSIC I'M LISTENING TOO. IV'E BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO TRAVEL MANY PLACES IN MY LIFE, BUT THE COMMON THREAD OF HAPPINESS ALWAYS STARTS AND ENDS WITH ME LYING ON THE BEACH WITH MY CLOSEST FAMILY OR FRIENDS, IN SOME REMOTE AREA OF THE WORLD. 
 I FEEL LIKE I'M MY BEST SELF WHEN I'M IN A CALM, MORE LOW KEY ENVIRONMENT. I THRIVE IN ONE ON ONE INTERACTIONS, OR SMALLER GROUP GATHERINGS. FOR YEARS I FORCED MYSELF TO MAKE PLANS EVERY WEEKEND, OR TO ATTEND EVERY PARTY I WAS INVITED TO, ALL BECAUSE I HAD FOMO (FEAR OF MISSING OUT) . I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS PRESENT FOR EVERY OUNCE OF FUN THERE WAS TO BE HAD. BUT THE TRUTH IS, FOR ME, OFTEN THE FUN WAS RIGHT AT HOME WHERE I HAD LEFT IT. I REALIZE I'M PAINTING MYSELF TO BE EITHER A DOWNER OR ANTI-SOCIAL, BUT THAT'S REALLY NOT THE CASE. I'M JUST A LOT MORE CLEAR THESE DAYS ON THE TYPE OF SOCIAL INTERACTIONS THAT TRULY MAKE ME FEEL HAPPY AND CONNECTED WITH THOSE WHOM I'M CLOSEST TOO. IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT NONE OF US ARE ENTIRELY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER 100% OF THE TIME. BUT HAVING SOME ALONE TIME TO SELF REFLECT IS GOOD PRACTICE FOR EVEN THE MOST OUTGOING OF EXTRAVERTS. SO TRY IT OUT! IN A SPACE FREE FROM OUTSIDE PRESSURE AND DISTRACTIONS,  HANG OUT WITH YOURSELF FOR AN AFTERNOON. TAKE TIME TO MEDITATE , FOCUS, RELAX AND REBOOT. LEARNING HOW TO BE HAPPY DURING YOUR ALONE TIME CAN HELP YOU EXPERIENCE INSIGHT, APPRECIATION AND CONTRAST. WHEN YOU'RE BACK IN A SOCIAL SETTING YOU'LL CHERISH YOUR TIME SPENT WITH OTHERS THAT MUCH MORE AND GET CONNECTED ON A DEEPER LEVEL WITH WHOEVER YOU'RE CHOOSING TO SPEND YOUR TIME WITH. 

 HERE ARE A COUPLE RESOURCES I'VE FOUND THAT PRETTY MUCH SUM UP EXACTLY WHAT IT DOES/ DOES NOT MEAN TO BE A MEMBER OF THE INTROVERT CLUB! THESE ARE MUST READS!!

LOOKING BACK AND MOVING FORWARD..

BLOG
bläɡ/
noun
  1. 1.
    a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style.

HELLO BEAUTIES! IV'E BEEN DOING SOME THINKING ABOUT WHAT DIRECTION I WANT TO  TAKE NO REASON NEEDED AS WE ENTER 2015. INTUITIVELY, I'VE FOUND THE ANSWER. I WANT TO GET PERSONAL. I WANT TO JUMP IN DEEP AND GET A LITTLE MORE RAW WITH EACH OF YOU. I STARTED NRN BECAUSE I FELT I NEEDED A PLACE WHERE I COULD EXPRESS MY PERSONAL CREATIVITY, BUT ON A PUBLIC PLATFORM THAT I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH, WHICH IS WRITING. I WANT TO CONTINUE TO SHOWCASE MY STYLE, BUT START ADDING IN EVEN MORE CONTENT FILLED WITH MY THOUGHTS, VIEWS AND EXPERIENCES ABOUT THIS SWEET GAME CALLED LIFE WE'RE ALL PLAYING IN- AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN BETWEEN! I HOPE YOU ENJOY WHAT'S TO COME!
ANYWAY, I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A RELAXING SUNDAY AHEAD OF YOU! I DO - WELL, SORT OF. I'M GOING TO BE A HOME BODY TODAY AND FORCE MYSELF TO GET SOME CLEANING AND ORGANIZING DONE THAT I HAVE BEEN NEGLECTING FOR ABOUT.. WELL.. A YEAR. SHIT. AS I READ THAT BACK I REALIZE JUST HOW BAD THAT SOUNDS. GOOD THING I MARRIED A PRETTY AWESOME GUY WHO UNDERSTANDS THAT I'M NOT A COOK AND CLEAN ALL DAY TYPE OF GIRL. ALTHOUGH, THIS YEAR I'LL DEFINITELY BE TRYING TO CHANNEL A LITTLE MORE OF MY ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS. I KNOW THEY'RE IN THERE SOMEWHERE! HA! 

*ON A FASHION NOTE: BELOW I'M SHOWCASING SEVERAL KEY WARDROBE PIECES I FEEL EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ON HEAVY REPEAT IN THEIR CLOSET! OH AND THIS KNIT SWEATER I'M WEARING? IT JUST HAPPENS TO BE THE COZIEST SWEATER I'VE EVER HAD!! I NEVER WANT TO TAKE IT OFF! I WAS IMMEDIATELY ATTRACTED TO THE INTRICATE DETAILING THAT COMBINES THE PERFECT SHADES OF WINTER GREY AND FELT GREEN.
