So i realized I haven't made a beauty post on here yet! I wanted to share my current favorites when it comes to skin care..
Order Facial Cleansing Brush
I recently purchased this cleansing brush just to see what the hype was about on these things. It wasn't expensive so it doesn't have all that quality in the world but it definitely gets the job done. It does a great job at exfoliating the skin and It has high/low settings, different attachable brushes that are really convenient.
Equate Beauty Blemish Control Apricot Scrub
I use this product specifically for exfoliating every other day. It leaves my skin feeling very soft and It does an amazing job at cleansing deep down and clearing blackheads.
Note: I wouldn't suggest you use the product by itself because it can leave your skin pretty dry.
Noxema Classic Clean Moisturizing Cleansing Cream
After I exfoliate my skin I love to double cleanse and use this product. I've been using it for about 2 years now and it still makes my skin feel brand new. It has a soft creamy consistency and leaves a minty, moisturized finish. I usually wash my face with this product every night/morning.
Mitchell Brands 100% Natural Shea Butter with Coconut Oil
After exfoliating and cleansing my skin sometimes it can feel very dry. I picked up this product because the hype over Shea butter and coconut oil is never ending so I found a 2 in 1 lol. The thick consistency in this product locks in the moisture and leaves your skin feeling/smelling amazing. I struggled with finding a good moisturizer and once I began using this my skin care regimen is going great.
Note: With this product very little goes a long way
Live Green Honey Facial Mask
I haven't used this product very much but I've had great results from it. This facial mask if pretty soothing and It leaves my skin moisturized with a soft glow. From what I was told honey is also great for acne treatment/prevention.

Ever since the new year started I've been pretty much all work and no play. I'm working as an intern full time clocking in about 34 hours a week by day & a full time college student taking up to 18 credits by night, plus I work a part-time job on some weekends.
About a couple of months ago I didn't know exactly what I signed myself up for but I knew it wasn't going to come easy. I forced myself to embrace the unknown and take advantage of the opportunities that were in front of me. Sure enough I found myself busy with a heavy workload..
A lot of times we sign ourselves up for things that we weren't necessarily prepared to handle.
We're left with questions like "How am I supposed to keep up?" "What am I going to do?" or "When is this going to be over with?"
I found myself in that exact position, losing hope & worrying more about getting things done versus actually doing them. I lost a lot of faith and gained a lot of hopelessness.
I remember a saying from one of my pastors "A posture of praise will turn your test into a testimony." Through every hardship I face that quote somehow sticks with me. For me, It's impossible to stay happy, motivated & confident in my work when my spiritual life is unbalanced.
I'm reading a book and it said "The same way your body needs food, your soul needs Jesus" and that's exactly what it feels like..
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6
The moment we take things into our own hands and focus on ourselves we outweigh the other side of the scale and carry a heavier workload. The more we focus on our problems the bigger the become. I still have a hard time disciplining myself when it comes to this quote but for anyone in need I want to encourage you to allow God to move in his mysterious ways throughout your life. Tough times don't last, but tough people do.
God won't give you anything he knows you cannot handle, allow him to move through you and show you what your purpose is made of. Feed your soul with his word, make time to talk to him and grow a relationship. Continue to work hard and ask for spiritual balance in all that you do, most of all thank him for how far he has brought you.. after all It wasn't promised.
