I know I have been lazy/absent from this blog but as April starts (what? how did that happen?) I want to show a few of my favorite things from this past month.
First up, is my favorite scent. Ralph by
Ralph Lauren used to be my signature scent in high school/college but I
stopped wearing it because I wanted to play around with other perfumes
to see what else was out there. I recently rediscovered it and love it
just as much as I did before.
My favorite person is
Beth,
mainly because we've been saying we need to get together and just
haven't made any official plans and I think that we need to make this
happen, lady!
Rosehip
seed oil is a favorite beauty product and I know I have mentioned it
before when I talked about my skin care regimen but I just can't say
enough great things about it. I started using it on a couple scars from
surgery years ago because it worked on my brother's scars (now you can't
even tell that he ever had accidents) and I know my face is loving it
too. (I have oily skin and it might be counter intuitive but it works!)
I have been snacking on strawberries
non stop every time I need a pick me up. Sometimes I even put the
tiniest bit of sugar and lemon juice and it is delicious. Best snack!
Since
bikini season is coming I have decided I need to take control over
those extra lbs and my two favorite helpers have been these cool little
apps. NTC (Nike Training Club) is great to find all sorts of workouts
depending on your physical level, intensity and what you want to get out
of it (get lean, get toned, get strong, etc) Pretty neat. The other one
is My Fitness Pal and it has changed my whole perception of what I eat
on a daily basis--Who knew a concrete mixer form Culver's was 1000 calories!.
You set your profile with your actual measures/weight, set your goals
and it tells you how many calories you should get daily to achieve that
goal. While it is basically a calorie counter, you don't only enter the
food you eat, but your water consumption and the workouts you've done.
It is crazy comprehensive and really user friendly.
Favorite music category goes to Imagine Dragons. I have been listening to this album pretty much every day and can't get enough of it. Their song Underdog is so good.
As far as hair products go, I have been loving this Garnier Moroccan oil treatment especially before I blow dry. It leaves my hair feeling so luxe and soft and like I did my hair at a salon. I also got the Clear shampoo and conditioner (you know, those Heidi Klum commercials) and I only wash my hair twice a week so I haven't used them that much but I think it's going to be an absolute repurchase for a long time.
Favorite make up product goes to the Revlon Colorstay for oily/combo skin. This is hands down the best foundation I have ever tried and it is drugstore, thank you very much.
Lastly, Revenge. Sundays have never been so good to me. I got JB hooked on it with the first season but then he got bored. I got even more hooked and absolutely look forward to it every week.
Wowzers, that was kind of a long list. What did you love this past month? Let me know in the comments below so I can try new things in April!
besos,
Maca
