Finals are done and it is officially Winter! The year is wrapping up to be super awesome and I am so excited for the next year! Anyways, after loads of ideas, I decided that one of the most important things for the new year is to have a great skincare routine. Speaking from experience, wearing great clothes makes you feel good but actually taking care of your health makes you feel 100 times better! Beauty products are something I would never recommend to cheat yourself with. There are reasons somethings are just more expensive than just the label. Just recently for my chemistry class, I did my literature review on the chemical composition of cosmetics and I learned so much. There are so many things to beware of when applying make-up because it comes with direct contact with your skin. On a daily basis, I wash my face with this really natural, Himalaya Herbals face scrub for exfoliation. If it is just to school, I just put the Olay cream and L'Oreal Powder with Vaseline. It definitely is much less than an average high schooler uses but I think it is more than enough. Caking make up on yourself is more harmful than helpful... My nightly routine is really basic. I sleep really late and wake up really late so I like to take my showers in the night. Before I go to sleep, I smear Cetaphil all over myself so in the morning, I have really super soft skin and I spray my "casual spritz" so I smell really good too. When I wake up, I just put some more Aveeno to re-moisturize my skin. My go to thing to splurge on is perfume! Every season I like to try a new scent, this season it is the Burberry Body (courtesy of my little brother) and it smells divine... The Marc Jacobs Lola is also a great scent all your long so it is always out on my counter. If I am going out partying, I definitely spray a little of my Victoria Secret Supermodel. It's kind of old and I am pretty positive they do not even sell it anymore but it just makes you feel so sexy, plus it leaves sparkles on your skin. :) The Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue is probably the best Spring/Summer scent ever. Like the name says, it is super light and extremely refreshing. Hair. Hair. Hair. The one thing I do like to mess around with is my hair. I like changing texture, style, and parting depending on my mood. For example today, I headed out to Lifetime Fitness and used the Tresemme waterless, foam shampoo to get rid of any excess oil. Recently, I have tried to cut down the use of heat by not straightening my hair (I use the Herstyler Titanium) and rather opt for washing my hair couple of hours before I sleep and when it is damp, braid it into two. After sleeping on it, when I take it out, it looks like I spend hours on it but it was only just couple of minutes. :) Of all the hair products in the pile above, the Moroccan Argan Oil by Organix is the best thing ever. It makes my hair shiny and soft. There are so many different products I want to try every time I got to shops like Sephora and all but sometimes there are so many things that you like and you cannot possibly use them all... they kind of just sit there on the counter staring at you.
Now it is just time to prep for our family vacation to NEW YORK FRICKIN' CITY! :)))) Aghhhhh :DD Lots of Love, Sitara Mysore
