♥ books & looks.

(i got all that is & the interestings for christmas!)

i am loving these looks- inspired by some of 

last year's top works of literature:

♥ the new radical.

now that i am pregnant, i want to tell you that the whole saying that,

  "baby girls steal their mother's beauty/ baby boys make their mother's skin glow"

is a total myth. 

i have pretty normal skin on a regular basis, but the extra hormones 

coursing through my body has definitely caused the kind of breakouts that

i haven't dealt with since high school! thanks alot, baby boy!!

(see unhappy photo below)

up until recently, my skin care routine consisted mostly of: not washing my face 

before bed, sleeping in my makeup, showering, and wiping the remaining eye

 makeup off with the help of a fabulous remover. 

but since turning 30 a few weeks ago- i have been making more of 

an effort to "baby" my skin. and what better way to get quick results than 

with a product such as radical skincare instant revitalizing mask, which promises 

(and delivers!) "soft, smooth, glowing skin in minutes!"

i have used this mask twice a week for the past two weeks and i must tell you

there is nothing more refreshing than the feeling of tiny foam bubbles popping on

your skin, and nothing more satisfying than washing the dust of everyday living

off your face, to reveal glowing, healthy skin beneath! take that, baby hormones,

harsh winter winds and dry, over-heated apartments!

♥ happy 2014!!
