Retinol to the rescue!

This post is sponsored by Olay.

For the past 4 weeks I have incorporated Olay Retinol24 products to my nighttime routine, and it has been game changing. My skin looks healthier and feels softer. 

My favorite product from the collection has been the Night Moisturizer. Trust me when I say that this is the best moisturizer I’ve ever tried. It doesn’t leave any residue on your skin and feels so smooth to the touch. I apply it after I wash my face before going to bed and the next day, I wake up with my skin feeling so healthy and soft.

This is my first time trying retinol so I thought I would share more information about what this means in case this is also your first time hearing about it.

Retinol24 gives you smoother and brighter skin in 24 hours. It’s working your skin all night and it makes you feel like you don’t even need as much makeup. For me, this product has been key for this month. During October I wear a lot of makeup for creative looks and my skin usually feels dry by the end of the day, but Retinol24 products have been making my skin feel amazing even after all the work I did that day.

The amount of retinol doesn’t matter so much as the way it's combined with other ingredients. Olay’s formula with vitamin B3 plus retinoid complex hydrates better than the #1 bestselling retinol.

Olay made nighttime routines so much easier with 3 Key products: 

Serum- apply after you cleanse your face

Eye cream- you can use this after you moisturize

Moisturizer- After using a serum

*Note: it is not recommended to use all three products at once. Especially if you are new to Retinol products. *

I tried all 3 of them combined and they work fantastic. My skin is super sensitive, and I didn’t experience any irritation. 

Can’t wait to continue using these products and see all the amazing benefits. Click here to get yours today!

Hello Fall !

Fall is finally here! And although it’s still pretty warm here in Southern California, I’m excited to start playing with new prints, over the knee boots and start wearing more and more layers of clothing.

If you are looking for affordable clothes to build up your fall wardrobe, I have the perfect solution. JCPenney offers incredible style and value for all! They are literally your one stop destination for stylish fashion.

There are several popular trends going around this season and I wanted to incorporate a few in one outfit. The first trend that I’ve been seeing everywhere is animal print. I personally love wearing leopard print items so this is perfect for me.

Another huge trend right now is new hues, going from subtle to bold colors. My overall outfit is super neutral with a pop of red in my purse.

Shirt is by the brand Worthington - Link here 

Boots are by the brand Liz Claiborne - Link here 

Crossbody Bag is also Liz Claiborne - Link here

Over the Knee Boots are always my go-to statement piece during this season. They make a casual outfit feel extra chic.

What trend will you be rocking this fall?

xoxo,

pour-over lover!

Hi friends,

As a coffee lover I’m always looking for new coffees to try, new flavors, and new methods that create better tasting coffee. My new favorite way of making it is by using pour-over coffeemakers which is what I’ll be sharing with you in this post.

Surprisingly, I had never tried this method before until Melitta introduced me to this. Pour-over coffeemakers create handcrafted coffee in seconds. I will be sharing the steps below. 

**I’m using the Heritage Series Pour-Over Coffeemaker & Carafe Set in Pastel Blue

Step 1

Put in Filter- I placed my Melitta paper filter inside the cone

Step 2

Add ground coffee- you can use your fave.

Step 3

Pour hot water into the cone.

And that’s it… Now you have coffee that’s extremely rich in flavor and was ready in seconds. Now all you need is a cute coffee mug and you’re all set.

All of the Melitta coffeemakers are truly worth checking out. Not only are they insta worthy with their selection of cute pastel colors but they actually work and give you amazing tasting coffee.

My favorite collections are the Heritage Series and the Signature series.I’m sure they will also turn you into a #PouroverLover.

Check out their website for more info

Cheers!

I'm Lovin' it

Hi loves,

Today I'm sharing some exciting news with you! If you're from Southern California head over to your nearest McDonalds and try the hottest, juiciest, fresh beef quarter-pound burgers ever. 

McDonald's is now offering new beef quarter pounders that are cooked as soon as your order them. 100% fresh beef 1/4 lbs. burgers will now be used across their menu. 

I recently stopped by a McDonald's close to my home and tried the new quarter pound burger and I'm OBSESSED. It was so good & so fresh. You have to try it!

🍔 

Hola Amigos,

Hoy les compartire algo super emocionante. Si te ubicas en el Sur de California te recomiendo pasar por tu McDonalds mas cercano. Tienes que probar la nueva hamburguesa de 1/4 de libra. Son hechas al momento y con 100% carne.

El fin de semana pase por mi Mcdonald's mas cercano y probe esta nueva hamburguesa. La verdad me encanto, la tienen que probar!
