It's been a minute since I've shared a personal update, but a lot has happened over the last 6...

Another eczema related post?! Yes - eczema is a chronic condition that affects 35 million Americans, alone.
.
.
❌ Common triggers for eczema include stress, as well as potential skin irritants or harsh chemicals found in everything from fragrance to soap to skincare. ❌
.
.
Thankfully, my most recent flare up has finally calmed down. 😊 But I’m still grateful to have products in my arsenal (both OTC and prescription) that will help me combat my issues. 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
.
.
I’m not normally a fan of body wash, but I’ve really been enjoying this wash from skinfx from the last @trendmood.box . 🧼 🛀 In fact, out of all the amazing goodies in last month’s box, I was most excited for the two @skinfixinc goodies! 💜
.
.
P.S. hope everyone is having a happy, healthy, and safe 4th of July! 🇺🇸 ❤️ If nothing else, 2020 has been a year of defining what we deem important and assessing our impact and ability to push for positive change.

A little Gloss never hurt no body. ✨ I mean, what pairing is more iconic than lip gloss + summer?💋 ☀️
.
.
Earlier this year, I finally got the chance to try @marcjacobsbeauty lip gloss formula. I was NOT disappointed. 🥰 These glosses look and feel super luxe in their weighted tubes. ✨ The effect on the lips looks super luscious without being the slightest bit sticky. 💗

Are you team lip gloss?

2019 was all about micro-palettes, 6-9 pan palettes in ultra compact sizes ideal for traveling & for creating simple, everyday looks.
.
.
However, it wasn’t until this year that I finally picked up one of the @fentybeauty Snap Shadows Palettes. I grabbed No.3 Deep Neutrals. This has been a great little palette for Zoom calls & professional meetings. 💗
.
.
Overall, I like this compact little palette. The mattes are the standouts in this palette. They’re super easy to build up on the eyes. 👀 The shimmer formula is a standard shimmer finish ✨ - no wet or foiled finish.
.

How are you guys liking the outdoor series? ☀️

🍊 🍊 Currently, wishing my face looked and felt like it did on the day I took this photo.
.
.
As some of you know, this past week, learned the hard way that some brands are definitely ‘Clean Washing.’ 🚫 🧼 🚫 I came across a supposedly ‘clean’ face wash at the drug store and was curious to give it a try.
.
.
Ended up with the worst flare up of eczema on my face EVER. 🙈 And of course, the stress caused by the flare up, caused my flare up to worsen. 😫 Currently, on the mend after seeing my dermatologist, but I NEVER want myself or anyone else to experience this again! .
.
🗣🗣🗣 Please be careful to thoroughly read ingredient lists and do research on brands that are advertising themselves as clean, but are not certified by an outside party (like Sephora, etc).

Bronzer, for summer? Groundbreaking. 😎 . . But

Bronzer, for summer? Groundbreaking. 😎
.
.
But in all seriousness, bronzer used to be a product that I never saw the benefit of and rarely ever used. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Flash forward to now - and I feel like I rarely come across a bronzer that I don’t want to try! 😂 And this year, I’ve been so excited for so many of the bronzers released! 🛍 .
.
In today’s shot, I’m sharing a close up of the new Baked Bronzer from @kosas. ✨ The formula feels super lightweight, while the finish looks ultra natural on the skin. ☺️ Fans of warm-toned bronzers will likely enjoy this formula! .
.
Do you enjoy bronzers? 🌞 ☀️ .

This may sound silly, but one of the happiest thin

Not my usual type of shot or my usual style of post. But I’m learning to step out of my comfort zone.
⠀⠀
I cannot remember a time when I didn’t feel self conscious about my skin. I was the first in my grade to develop bad acne and kids can be cruel. After years of treatment, my acne finally (mostly) cleared up but a new concern began to manifest. .
.⠀⠀
Eczema - and not somewhere that could be easily hidden. All over my hands and fingers and even in my scalp. 🖐🏻 🤚🏻 To say I felt self conscious would be an understatement. ⠀⠀
.
.
This year, the eczema on my hands has been the worst it’s ever been. 🔍 In fact, if you zoom into this photo, you can even see the remnants of a recent flair up. New parts of my body have started to become irritated. 🔥 My flair ups are the result of extreme stress but for my hands, the harsh hand-washing worsened some of the pain. ⠀⠀
.
.
The last week, my flair ups have finally started to subside. I’m making an effort to treat and protect my skin. But I’m also done being ashamed of it.
⠀⠀
.
.
I’m not perfect. My skin isn’t perfect. And that’s ok. 🌸
