As life gets busier it seems to get harder and harder to set aside time to be still. Sometimes it even feels like a chore. I've been trying to prioritize it more to save my sanity though- and I finally realized it's possible to build some pampering in to my every day routines. As winter comes, my skin and my body need some extra love and I've found a few things that give me just that.

This post is a long time coming. That said, I've struggled with writing it because I don't want to misconstrue my feelings, and in turn, send the wrong message. For the last few years my school is on a kindness crusade. All we promote, all we talk about, is being kind to each other. Sounds great right? I agree it's a great vision- and I'm happy to be a part. That said- I don't always buy into it completely. I've always had something tugging at me that we were actually getting it wrong. And this year- my experiences in blogging have showed me just how right I was to feel this way. ​

I am by no means a makeup snob. I use what I love and what I feel does the job. I've always loved drugstore makeup and trying some prestige products has definitely been a newer adventure. That said, even drugstore makeup can be a pretty penny! It's much more expensive than when I was a kid and in some instances- I'd rather spend a couple extra dollars to get prestige products that may last longer. That said- I'll break it ALL down and give you my tops picks that are worth your time and effort in the end!
