Battle with the Bumps:Accumulative Skincare Product Review




I know I am not alone when it comes to  battling my own skin! I have been dealing with mild to often moderate acne since I was in middle school. In the last few years my acne has been better than before, but now I also face dry spots, large pores and oily areas. I am a firm believer that it doesn't matter what makeup you wear if your skin isn't in good shape! Your skin is your canvas....skincare products should be your first priority before cosmetics. 

I am constantly on the look out for reasonably affordable and effective products. In the process I have tried the whole Walmart shelf and half of Macy's. Here are a list of cleansers,treatments,toners, moisturizers,masks and sets that I have used with a very quick review on how it worked for me. If you want more elaboration feel free to comment below!

Skinny Recipe: Lemon Basil Pasta with Blackened Grilled Chicken



I did work in the gym today so I was ravished for carbs come dinner time.
I managed to forgo 17 Oreos and threw together one of my favorite quick, filling, low cal recipes.

It comes in at 336 calories a serving! Taste guilty but entirely innocent.


Yums. Try it

From couch to 13 point freaking 1...Tinker Bell here I come!








   When I was a teenager spending the summer at my grandparent's house my grandma was reminiscing about me running around in circles in their 4 acre backyard for hours....I was shocked. Something had to have been chasing me. I just don't run. I'd like to, but I don't or I can't...or something of that nature. So she continued to tell me how she loved to run when she was younger because all she ever wanted was to "be free"...so familiar.

.....I listened and replied ,"I'd love to run. I wish I could. I wish I was one of those girls but It's just not my thing."
