my not so exciting beauty secrets

I've been asked recently about what I do in the mornings while getting ready for the day.

And how my skin is the way it is.

Honestly, I don't really do anything that special.

My real secret is that I eat healthy most of the time and I work out at least 6 days a week.

That and getting plenty of sleep like me and my grandma self is what really helps make skin glow and helps you to look

revitalized each day.

But here's what I use to get ready in the mornings anyway. 

It's always a good idea to wash your face in the mornings and also at the end of the day.  These are two of my favorite face scrubs and both also have moisturizer to help keep my face from drying out.

I'm a lotion fanatic.  These are some of my new favorites that I just bought from Bath & Body Works.  I forget to spritz on perfume a lot of the time, so these kind of make up for that.  They also work really well to keep prevent dry skin. duh.

My make up is usually really simple, unless I'm going out on a special occasion.  But these are the basics that I wear 99% of the time.  I have found that liquid foundation tends to stay on longer, and by lightly dusting over it with a shimmer foundation powder it helps to even things out and give a little glow.  Then I use warmth by bare minerals to highlight my cheekbones and a little on my nose and forehead.  Then I use a shimmer powder to go over that on my cheeks to finish it off.  I don't use very special mascara really, usually just define-a-lash by Maybelline.

If I decide to use eye shadow usually like twice a week then I tend to go for more neutral colors.  In case you haven't
noticed, I love shimmery stuff! I usually go for gold and highlight it with soft vanilla tone.  Sometimes I like
to wear purple or green to bring out my eyes too.

Being a girl and primping is fun, but never forget:
