You know that age-old question “If you could only have…in your life, what would it be?” Well, it got me thinking that even though we would survive without majority of the things we have, there are certain things we use in a our daily lives that we just can’t bear to not have or use every day. It’s what makes us who we are right…so I decided what better fitting series than to share with you the things in my life I just can’t live without…starting off with my morning and nighttime rituals. What are some of the things in your daily regimen that you just can’t live without?
I need to start the day off right with a refreshing glass of lemon and mint infused water, to wash down my vitamins. a multivitamin, for my general health, omega-3 fish oil, Biosil, to strengthen my desert dry hair, and CLA, to support my metabolism. As I sip on green tea, sometimes ginger, listening to either Andy Grammer or Lana del Ray, these are my favorite staples to get ready…
First things first, get rid of oils left over from night creams, by washing my face with this wash, plus it helps me wake up too. I wear contacts, so I wake a few minutes early, and use this solution to keep my eyes moist throughout the dry day, and then swipe this under my eye to look refreshed. I’ve seen significant improvements to my pearly whites by using this, then I prep my hair with this spray, before styling it for the day…
It took me awhile to find a primer that moisturized my combination skin and made my make-up last through a full day, until I found this one from Stilla, now I still look fresh face come 5 o’clock. For my usual work day look, I tend to keep it simple with Mac’s studio-finish concealer, a swipe of Blanc Type on my entire lid, and Shroom on my brow bone and inner corner. A thin swoop of Rimmel’s scandaleyes gel eyeliner in black on the outer corner of my eye, and nude pencil in the inner and bottom lash line, followed by a good curl and a brush of false lashes. A dusting of gentle on my cheeks, a spritz of Dove’s style+care hairspray to keep my locks in place, a sweet mist of Tocca’s Florence and I’m ready to start my day…
After a long day’s work, I wipe away my makeup with these calming face wipes by Neutrogena, and then alternate between Olay’s Regenerist Intensive repair or Estee Lauder’s Resilient Lift before calming down with a cup of chamomile tea…ahh another day accomplished!
