NYR Organic

This past Christmas I received NYR Organic's Dry Skin Care kit from my sister-in-law Elena who is a rep for the company. It's always hard to give skincare or beauty products as gifts because everyone has different issues. My skin is a plethora of contradictions... it can be oily and dry at the same time, I'm still fighting off minor breakouts and starting anti-aging regime, I'm pale, but when I tan it's a mix of tan and freckles. Needless to say I'm VERY particular about products I try and those that I incorporate into my daily/weekly routine.  With that being said I kind of am in love with this Nourishing Orange Facial Regime!








So there's a facial wash, toner, moisturizer, and facial oil.

Dry Skincare Kit

First off these products smell great! The wash and toner left my face feeling refreshed and smooth. I've been using the moisturizer at work, where the air is REALLY dry and I need to touch-up through out the day to keep from peeling, yikes! 


Full disclosure I haven't tried the facial oil yet, because I'm concerned about breakouts. I've experimented with oil-based products in the past and have found that, when not used sparingly can really mess up my T-zone. Elena, my sister-in-law suggested trying it on my neck to see how my skin will react... a GREAT idea, right? Thanks Elena? 

You can also check out Elena's site for more products and info here!  And she also features online shopping, which is a plus. I'm thinking of trying out the Oily & Combination Care Kit, which has a palmrosa mask.

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!   ...

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...
