How I Take Care Of My Skin


This blog post is going to be on how I take care of my skin. I have dry skin and I also wear make-up. Something that everyone (everyone in the whole wide world no matter what skin type) should do is exfoliate their skin. Have you ever had body scrub? It's that body wash that is rough. Well you are supposed to use that on your skin 3-5 times a week. I use a chemical free exfoliator. What I use is honey, sugar, and olive oil. The sugar is what is taking off the dead skin cells and the olive oil is what is moisturizing your skin. The honey also softens your skin. So you scrub it on your face or your body and then rinse it off. Afterwards your skin is so soft and beautiful. Now, you don't want to do this every night because then you are just drying out your skin. Try doing this every other night. If your skin feels dry after you exfoliate then just moisturize. What I use to remove my make-up is CVS Cold Cream. This is a deep cleansing product that gets into your skin and removes all the dirt and make-up. I also use Clean & Clear's Deep Cleaning Astringent. This has an oil-fighting formula (I don't have oily skin but it's always good to prevent) and it treats & helps prevent pimples. This product may dry your skin so that's when exfoliating comes in handy.

My B-Day In NYC

So yesterday was my birthday and for my birthday My best bud and I took the Big Apple. I want to blog about the whole experience.
Karimah came over on Thursday night. She made me stay up until 12:33 A.M. So I could officially open my present on my birthday. I was so tired because I got up at 6:00 that morning to go to the hair dresser. She gave me I very cute wallet, nail polish, a make-up bag, a mini grooming kit, a nail buffer, a headband and a head bow, and a $30 gift card to H&M. She also gave me the cutest card I ever seen! Right after I opened her gift and my Coach gift we went right up stairs to go to sleep. We set 3 alarms to 5:00 A.M. I slept on the floor and she slept on the bed. I was freezing on the floor. I woke up and went over to wake Karimah up. She jumped straight up and was like "I don't think I was sleep, I saw every music video that came on the T.V" We got dressed with our cute Tutus and I did both of our make-up extremely nice. We were out the door by 7:00 and we picked up my sister. After that we were on the train to NYC! We got there and went to Mickey D's. ( The biggest one I have seen in my life.) Then we walked to the wax museum. The line was kind of long but we went right to the front and got in. (I guess because we already had tickets?) The wax museum was the best! It was so much fun. OMG we got pix with our president and Robert Pattinson! (Faints) That was the hottest statue I have seen in my life! Then we went to the 4-D SpongeBob show that comes with the wax museum attraction. That was fun! You get smell effects and bubbles and wind. When that wind blasts you in the back of the head it tickles. There was this part in the attraction that was scary. We didn't go in because I'm a scaredy cat. It was a man standing there with a scar on his face and he looked like a statue then he started moving. I was like oh no we are not going in there. But now I wish we did go. I think it was just statues of people in there like Jason, or Freddie and them. So then we rode the subway to Canal Street. I didn't buy much but some big glasses and a hat. Then we went to the Macy's. That store is a whole block long! I didn't buy anything there either. Then we went to Friday's and I had an amazing dinner and they sung happy birthday to me. I had this cheesecake it was vanilla bean. OMG! When you dip that baby in that caramel and chocolate. I offered my fam some. They tore it up. It was just that good. Then we almost didn't make the train home but we made it. That ride back was funny. The whole day was funny. I had a wonderful birthday.

MY Coach Poppy Bag, (Finally)


For my birthday my mother bought me a Coach Poppy! I am so happy! I also got some matching Coach sneakers. I really love my bag, it's so big. Anywho, I thought that was blog worthy.
