LUSH Challenge?

September 28, 2017


I recently went on a mini shopping spree and decided to visit the LUSH cosmetics store. I had heard from my mother about how good the store products were, and a couple of co workers told me the same thing. I've been struggling for quite a while with skincare and I spoke with their associates for some recommendations. I picked Up these two products and I'll be doing a challenge to see weather they work for me or not.
Left: 'Scrubee' | Right: 'Parsley Porridge"

'Scrubee' Body Butter Description:
This happy little bee looks innocent enough, but it means business when it comes to buffing your skin smooth. We've combined scrubby ground almonds and coconut shell with softening honey, cocoa and shea butter in alternating exfoliating and moisturizing stripes for the smoothest skin.

'Parsley Porridge' Description:
For a squeaky green clean, hop in the shower and lather up with this herbal soap. It’s packed with dirt-busting ingredients like fresh parsley, finely ground oatmeal, thyme, tea tree oil and aloe gel, making it suitable for your whole body. Its creamy lather gently exfoliates to remove dead skin and keep spotty or disturbed skin cleansed and clear.

I face troubles with acne on my chest and back area + some dryness so apparently these products will get the job done, Lets hope so :)
I'll be doing monthly updates on my skin starting october and hopefully I see results.. Chow for now!

Staying Motivated

September 19, 2017


As the end of the year slowly approaches I like to encourage a little self evaluation. Since my birthday passed this July I realized how fast time is moving and I thought about my goals for 2017. It was passed half of the year and half of my goals weren't even completed. I lost a lot of motivation and I knew I had to redeem myself quickly. If you're finding yourself in the same slump that I was in and need a little help with motivation,  here's 3 short tips that helped me get back on the ball.

1. Evaluate: Figure out when the focus went left. A lot of times we're caught up in what's going on around us and we lose focus on our goals & forget about the end zone. Sometimes it just takes for you to take a step back and get a bigger picture of what's working and what's not.  2. Refocus: After you've determined where, when and what went left, shift right. Set goals that are actually attainable. There's a saying, if you have a set amount of time dedicated to any learning endeavor you are much better off  spending that time a little bit every day then you are in one botched process. Instead of just having goals for the entire year I had to set weekly goals that helps me get closer to that ONE goal. Figure out whatever works best for you. 3. Hold yourself accountable: One of my favorite quotes is "You are your biggest obstacle". Its never too late to redeem yourself if there is an opportunity for growth and/or success. Make a way and stick to it!
