Frosty Friday

{1.}
New Skin Care Routine
Lately I've been doing a new skin care routine that has been working great.  I really recommend trying it.  The routine is a little unorthodox, but it has taken my dry & [semi] broken out face & made it moisturized & blemish free.


Skin Care





Morning
I massage coconut oil onto my dry face; I massage it in a slow circular motion for about a minute.  I then take a wash cloth & run it under very warm water (not too hot!), I tip my head back & place the wash cloth on my face for 30 seconds allowing the steam to open my pores.  After the steaming I take the wash cloth & wipe off the coconut oil, I do this by wiping very gently in a circular motion; to finish I splash my face with water & pat dry.  I then put witch hazel on a cotton ball & wipe my face with it.  I finish with an Aveeno Smart Essentials Daily Nourishing Moisturizer.

Bedtime
I first remove all of my makeup with a makeup removing wipe.  I then wet my face & apply the Proactiv Renewing Cleanser & use my new Olay ProX Facial Cleansing Brush.  After I rinse & dry my face, I use the Revitalizing Toner.  When the toner dries I apply a generous amount of CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion or if my skin is feeling a little dry I will apply coconut oil instead of lotion.

Pinterest Obsession
Lately I have been obsessed with pinning to my 'Stylish' board on Pinterest.  There just so many amazing looks, & it's such a great place to get outfit inspiration.  These are some of my recent pins.

Old Pictures
So I turn 22 in less then three weeks, which is just crazy!  I'm working on something for a birthday post & figured I'd give a little teaser with some old pictures of me.
-Top left I the giant baby am pictured with family friends (remember them from here?).  

-Top right I'm with two friends in a park near my house, one is my best friend who I've posted about before



-Bottom right I'm about 3 or 4, playing with my toys. 

-Bottom left I'm pictured with my baby cousin when I was in middle school. 


It is always fun to go through old pictures!  I love having all the documentation of what I've done in life, & some of them are just so funny.  I can't wait to share my birthday post with all of you!

Favorite Posts About 2014
Right now there are so many posts going around New Year Resolutions & future goals.  I've read quite a few of them myself & these are my 3 absolute favorite.  I really love each of their unique goals & thoughts on the New Year.


Also make sure to check out my resolution post: Looking Ahead

Snow
There is a reason we're calling today 'Frosty Friday,' the snow is crazy where I live!  We've definitely had a blizzard.  I love the snow, & I have full intentions of enjoying my snow day (even though I'm on break so it's not really a snow day for me)!  There is some baking & movies in my near future.

As of last night this was what weather.com was reporting for our weather:


How's the weather where you live?  Do you get a snow day today too?  

Have a great weekend!

  1. Your skin care routine is great! I use coconut oil too, I typically use it before bed and leave it on over night but I have super dry skin.

  2. Stumbled across your blog from 5 on Friday! I loved your post about your skincare routine, I've heard wonderful things about coconut oil, but I've always been so intimidated to try it! Also, I swear by Aveeno moisturizer! It is a miracle worker and the only thing that hasn't made my skin break out like a pre-teen!

    Have a wonderful weekend!

  11. Really coconut oil, I've heard that it does wonders but I'm afraid of trying it on my skin I'm afraid I'll have a bad reaction or something.
