The Beauty of Spring

Now that the weather is finally getting warmer it is time to update my Beauty regimen accordingly. Spring always means more time outside which means I will need to protect my skin against the harsh UV rays. I am using Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15. I love this product because it is two in one; it moisturizes while protecting. I have also started using Neutrogena naturals fresh cleansing + makeup remover. This product is wonderful because it has a very light and natural cleanser that also helps to soften and refresh your skin. At night I am applying Boscia Tsubaki Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask. Yes, you read that correctly sleeping mask and it is amazing because all you do is massage it onto your face at night and it goes to work while you sleep. Lastly, I am treating my locks with Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil. The sun really does a number on my hair in the Spring and Summer months so I am testing out this oil to hopefully battle the damage. I would love to hear what products you are using and why. See you tomorrow!

New Workout Regimen

This past week I started waking up at 5:20 am to go to the 5:50-6:45am spin class at the Sanderson Center. Yes, I know that sounds pretty miserable, but spinning is a wonderful hard workout and as you know I love a challenging workout.  I decided I do not have enough time to workout after classes and work so getting up really early seemed like the best solution. Turns out I really do enjoy working out before I start my day because it makes me feel good and it is one less thing I have to try and make time for. Now, don't get me wrong I would much rather sleep in until 7:30 (since I teach Pilates every morning at 8:30 and some days 7:00) but it really does feel good knowing that I have already gotten in a sweat session before most people are even out of bed. I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday, try to make it a good and healthy one!

Week/Weekend Favorites

I usually do this post on Fridays but I am just looking forward to this weekend so much that I decided I would do it a little early. This week started off a little ruff with an exam on Tuesday. After that I decided to treat myself to a little purchase at Deep South Pout.

I have wanted one of these necklaces for a while but just haven’t bought one yet. But when I saw this one in Maroon I knew I had to have it! I literally drove over there right after they posted the image of it on Instagram because I knew it would sell out fast.

Wednesday night was my weekly beauty regimen night! I love having a nice relaxing night to do my nails and a conditioning clay mask. Trust me there will be a post sometime next week about my weekly beauty regimens.

I absolutely cannot wait to get home to Jackson to see this cute baby! I love and miss him so much. I cannot wait to get home to him because he just lies on my bed for hours when I am home. I mean how can you not miss this sweet face.

I have been missing my reformer so much. Now I will not actually be teaching classes this weekend so I will be there to take a class. I really cannot wait I have missed reformer Pilates so much. My body is really craving it.

Of course this weekend will consist of a little shopping. Some shopping for home décor and stuff for upcoming DIYs. Then you know I will have to do a little clothing and jewelry shopping! Also the decision on whether to keep the black booties was a unanimous yes to keep them!! Thank you to all of you for the help on the decision I knew I could count on y’all to help me.

I hope you all had a great week and hopefully a wonderful weekend!
