Exfoliate Yoself

With the summer days upon us, we’ve already began to plan our days of fun in the sun.  And to keep our skin looking radiant and soft to the touch we can’t forget one of the most important rules for taking care of our skin.

While a good cold shower can definitely help cool you down, a good exfoliating scrub will give skin that extra polish. Choose an exfoliator  with moisturizing and softening properties, and also look out for essential oils like sunflower, jojoba and coconut oil. If you really want to be baby’s bottom soft, use twice a week on arms, legs, bottom, back and belly.

Marc Jacobs has always been in my top five of favorite designers. He’s just too damn cool for school. And I dig that. Plus he’s so damn cute you wish he would go un-gay just for you. (I know I’m not the only one who’s thought of that). But let’s not take away from his skills in design, Marc has created trends for countless seasons at Louis Vuitton, while perfecting his hipster meets chic vibe with Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs

Exclusively debuting at Sephora on August 9, Marc will launch a 122 piece collection called Marc Jacobs Beauty with four main categories: Smart Complexion, Blacquer, Hi-Per Color and Boy Tested, Girl Approved. Smart Complexion will include foundations, concealers and powder and Blacquer will include pen eyeliners, lash lifters and gel crayons. Hi-Per Color includes lip stick and glosses, blush, eye shadow, bronzer and nail lacquers, and Boy Tested, Girl Approved will offer lip balm, brow tamer and concealer. 

Can’t even deny how hot this collection will be. Are you digging it?

No matter what bag I’m rocking, there are 5 things that I ALWAYS carry. Of course my bag gets extremely heavy from the things I tend to throw in there, but when it comes to my 5 favorite things- I never leave home without the following:

1. Stunner Shades-
Especially some this chic! On a bad hair day, you’ll catch me wearing a turban or top knot and my fly sunnies will steal the show, easily, plus they cover bags from lack of sleep.

2. A Cutesy Business Card Case-
Always keep your cards handy. When people see you in the streets they may want to know who you are, right?

3. Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl-
Sometimes you’re out all day and have to go straight to an event. Add some instant pizzazz with a red lip. Easy to toss in the purse and velvety smooth. It’s a win/win situation every time!

4. EOS assorted lips balms-
Sometimes I have a Napoleon Dynamite situation. You know, “my lips hurt, can you bring me my chapstick.” Such a cute, good-smelling, long lasting lip balm, I collect these in all flavors because they work so good!

5. iPhone
Last but not least, I have got to have my phone! I will go back home for it every time. The GPS for directions to sessions, notebook to jot down thoughts, and Instagram to show you all my day. 

Well beautynistas and fashionistas, what’s in your bag??
