Hello Everyone, Happy Saturday! It is finally nice weather consistently here in Philadelphia so I am super excited for the summer time fashion :) This Saturday I wanted to feature @RolyPolyWardrobe  not only does she dress amazing but she also has beautiful hair and amazing makeup. I was looking through her page and was thinking to myself " I would love to raid her closet." I chose one of her outfits to feature today because it is so nice out and I thought this was a perfect causal ensemble...

So how many nice things can I say about this outfit???? The head band with the curls are so adorable, love the orange top with slits in the back gives the basic top a edge to it, I'm in love with ripped jeans and love the gold sandals which adds to the perfect color palette.

Fashion Friday: Danielle Brooks

T.G.I.F People! For fashion Friday I wanted talk about Ms. Taystee a.k.a Danielle Brooks. She recently was featured in Glamour magazine where she wrote the most amazing essay about her struggles growing up, life in Hollywood, how she got through the rough times and her hopes for the future. I related to this essay in so many ways and felt it was touching, inspiring and positive. One of the many quotes I love from this essay is at the very end when she writes "So if you see me on the carpet with my arms and legs out glistening, or my midriff exposed, it's a reminder to myself and the world that I know I'm beautiful."  If you want to read the entire essay go check out www.glamour.com/inspired/blogs/the-conversation/2015/05/danielle-brooks-body and please take the time to also appreciate how AMAZING Ms. Brooks looks... she better WORK THOSE CURVES!!!!

Whack Wednesday: The Dreaded Acne

This Wednesdays focus is Acne because I am currently going through this. Acne comes our way for so many different reasons such as make up, pressure or friction of the skin (ex. bike helmets or backpacks), certain medicines that we take and on top of everything our period also triggers acne (what I am going through now)!!!! Now I have found some tips to help us all with this problem. These methods are for mild cases of acne and if your acne is a little bit more severe please contact a physician. My personal routine that normally keeps my face clear is before I go to bed washing my face (I don't use any specific soap), wiping the bumpy area with alcohol (dries up the greasy areas) and then I drink a 8oz glass of water. I don't have normally oily skin but sometimes my face does feel greasy and this method usually keeps my face clear. I got this routine a long time ago from the internet and have been sticking to it ever since. I also tried Clean & Clear deep cleaning astringent, I used it every night. I believe this cleaner was too strong for me because my face got super dry. I was looking like a old lady, My eye lids where even dry. This may not have been the right thing for me but it might work for you and there are many different facial cleansers to try for daily use. The important this is to make sure to clean your face really good before you got to sleep, Do Not Sleep With Your Make Up On!! Lets talk about other acne treatments that you could try. I discovered these next items online and they were listed has the top 5 acne treatments of 2015. The first is Nanoclease and was priced at $49.99. Nanoclease had a effectiveness rating of 4.8 out of 5. The second is Acnepril this also had a rating of 4.8 out of 5 and retails for $79.97. Third is Pronexin with a 4.7 out 5 and is priced at $79.99. Fourth is Day Acne Detox with a 4.7 out of 5 effectiveness rating and is priced at $39.95. Last but not least number five Acnevva with a rating of 4.6 out of 5 and is priced at $129.99. I found this list at www.acnecuresrevealed.net, go check them out read the revues, do some research. I never tried these products but if you have please let me know if any of them work. The next method is less expensive and it is the natural method. The ingredients used in these mask are filled with vitamins and nutrients that are great for your skin. I also I got this from www.acnecuresrevealed.net. They provided recipes for different mask such as the Cucumber Face Mask, Honey Mask, Lemon-Egg Face Mask and more. At this website they also share tons of information about how to properly take care of you skin; I found it to be super helpful. Another important factor is to simply make sure to eat healthy foods (I'm working on it) and to drink lots and lots of water. The way you take Of your body plays a major factor and how your skin looks. So check out Acne Cures Revelvealed, take care of yourself and stay beautiful :)
