Midlife Skincare Routine: From Day To Night And A Self-Care Day

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope your week is going well. We’re enjoying pool time and soaking up pretty weather on Spring break. How about you? It’s been a while since I’ve shared on the blog what products I’ve been using lately and how I use them in Midlife as far as a Skincare Routine, from what I use for the day versus what I use at night and for a self-care day. I am also sharing all my discount codes as well.

Midlife Skincare Routine: From Day To Night And A Self-Care Day

 

Midlife Skincare Routine: From Day To Night And A Self-Care Day

Self-care day 

A weekly Self-care day for your skin is highly recommended:) It’s just a little extra attention your skin deserves. I tend to do this on Saturdays, but you can squeeze in an extra hour or two for some me time whenever it works in your schedule. If that means only once a month, make sure you do that for yourself.

Hello pretty ladies,

I hope you had a great weekend. I am on vacation with my hubby and enjoying every moment with him. I’ll share more of that later in the week. The Nordstrom sale has started, and I wanted to give you a heads up on some of the items I love and like to stock up on, as well as some top-rated beauty items and great deals you may not want to miss. 

Nordstroms anniversary sale is a great time to pick up some beauty bundles and deals you can’t get anywhere else or any other time of the year. I shared last week the six things I purchase yearly, and 1/2 of them are beauty items I only purchase at this sale. 

Below are a few things you might like to know about the sale and the beauty items I think you might want to check out and put on your wish list. Happy shopping, pretty ladies, OX

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round- Up #7

Hello Pretty ladies, 

We are all most to the end of May, Schools out in Utah, and were headed into Memorial Weekend end, the kick-off to Summer. I look forward to Bbq season, longer days, spending time in the yard, and pool and lake days! How about you?

Our freedoms aren’t free, and those who have given so much and families that have made sacrifices must be remembered and thanked. So fly those flags high and remember why we celebrate and have a three-day weekend. 

Thank you to all those who serve and have served this country. God bless you and your families.

| Treat Yourself |

You deserve a little treat, and treating yourself is okay.  Treating yourself doesn’t mean it has to be expensive. It could be as simple as a little something you wanted at Target to something you’ve wanted for years. I am reminding you it’s okay to do something for yourself.

Last Friday’s round-up, I told you about some Gucci sandals I had been wanting and waiting for my size for over a year. They finally arrived, and I was so excited. (photo above) I shared them on Instagram. Even though this was a splurge, I permitted myself, and sometimes we must treat ourselves. 

What’s something you’ve been wanting?
