Cycling thru Life

No, I don’t have a new passion for bikes nor am I planning to do the Tour de France any time soon. So the title of this post is not a literal reference to cycling. I will explain what it is in reference to, but first, let me start by stating that today’s post has been inspired by the fact that I’ve had a few lousy days this week. You know, just those kinds of days when your mood is low for no particular reason, just feeling like you are kind of in a foggy state of mind.  You’re sensitive, emotional, your energy is low. Sounds familiar? And no, the title is not a reference to that kind of cycle either. It’s not that time of the month for me right now, and I don’t think my recent dreadful days are hormone-related (although, they could be, who knows; those little suckers, hormones, can play nasty tricks on us women at any given moment).

Beauty Series: Daily Routine. Part 5.

Today comes the last part of this beauty series, my nighttime beauty routine.  It begins pretty much the same as my morning routine, with a clean face. It doesn’t matter if I wear makeup or not that day, I always clean my face at night, at least with a face wipe (Pond’s Morning Refresh).

I like it, but at a hefty $55 for half an ounce, I probably won’t be buying it any time soon.

Beauty Series: Daily Routine. Part 4.

As the final step in my morning beauty routine comes an extremely important one: sun protection!! I am so big on this, I usually go off to my friends, or anyone for that matter, about it at the slightest chance. WEAR SUNBLOCK EVERY SINGLE DAY PEOPLE, I cannot say it emphatically enough.

We’ve all heard about all the damage sun exposure can cause, and most of us are pretty good about being careful of it when we are at the beach or exposed for any prolonged amount of time, but most of the damage happens on your day to day life, while on your way to work or running errands… even if it’s cloudy or rainy! The sun is always there, even if  the weather is not hot or you can’t see it, the damaging UV rays are always getting through. On top of that, many active ingredients in the skincare products we use (and you might be using right now) require that you protect against these rays because they can cause a reaction when expose to them, a reaction as in sun spots and discoloration, yikes!
