How to Help Your Winter Skin





Okay so as much as I love the cold, the cold does not love my skin. My skin gets SO dry and pale! I am not one of those girls that can pull off being pale, but I wish I was! My lips are also always dry when the weather hits under 60. Today I am talking about a couple things that are a necessity for me getting through the winter.

  • A hydrating Face Mask! Doing this once a week is so beneficial for your skin. During the winter months I do it twice a week. Not only does it rejuvenate my skin but also is a fun way to do a little self care.
  • The Elf Hydrating Balm! Wow, I can not say enough good things about this product. I have terribly dry skin during the winter. My t-zone is so flaky and gross. I tried so many moisturizers and nothing helped. I tried this $8 balm from Elf and have had no more issues with dry skin. It is a lifesaver!
  • A good lip balm. I, like many other women have tried a billion chap sticks/lip balms and to be honest the ones that work the best are the og's. the Chapstick brand are carmex and really just the best for the price. I have most likely lost 100+ chap sticks over the years so I can not justify buying a high dollar lip balm.
  • This might be the most important, or the most important to me! Self Tanner!! I was so hesitant of using self tanner for so long, but boy was I missing out! A little secret of mine is that during the winter, I only self tan my face, chest, and arms. I use a big fluffy makeup brush and it is so easy and quick. It gives me so much confidence and removes the need to wear foundation! I just use the Jergens foam and to be honest the travel sized one has lasted me a whole year!
I hope these products help you life your best life this winter! Dry, chapped, and pale skin is no fun and these products have helped me avoid all of those issues! What products are a must for you in the winter months?

What I Eat in a Week on Keto

Image
Starting keto can be overwhelming. It was a total reboot of how and what I eat. I will be honest, at first it was challenging, I was hungry and carving all the sugars and carbs. Just push through. Another challenging part of keto was coming up with meals and snacks that not only were delicious but also easy. I am going to show you what I eat in a typical week, on keto you do try to space your meals out. I typically try to not eat for a 12 hour period, so I really do not eat breakfast and try to keep snacking to a minimum. The good thing about keto, is that you stay full longer so not eating as many times a day is not that difficult. If I do eat breakfast it is typically just a couple eggs and bacon or sausage. Dinners  White chicken soup, this dish is SO good and super easy. Chicken, salsa Verde, butter, chicken broth, heavy cream, and cheese! Its that simple! I throw a couple low carb tortillas in the oven and throw them on top for some crunch! No noodle spaghetti, hits the cr

        I have been on keto for a little over a month and am LOVING it! I have lost twenty pounds and feel great. If you want some tips on starting keto please check out my blog How I Have Lost 20 Pounds In a Month on Keto. Ever since starting keto I have started cooking and eating at home a lot. I know that for me that was a huge change and it was really hard to know what to buy and cook. For that reason I have decided to share with you all what I buy from the grocery store while on keto. I typically go to Trader Joes once a week and do a big grocery haul from Winco/Walmart once a month. I also buy a few things off Amazon, my link to those are in the top left of my blog. This list is what I use to cook for both my boyfriend and I.  Here is what I buy: TRADER JOES : Frozen Berry Blend & Frozen Strawberries (great for smoothies) $3.49 / $1.99 Parsnip Chips (Very low carb & great sub for chips) $2.99 2 bags of Lettuce ( TJs has the best lettuce ) $1.99 each Organic

How I have Lost Twenty Pounds On Keto

Image
Right after my birthday I decided to start a new diet, KETO! I have done diets in the past, and nothing worked. Counting calories just didn't work for me, it was boring food, I was hungry, and it was not fun. Well, I love KETO! I do what they call lazy keto and eat between 20 - 40 carbs a day. You may be thinking what do carbs matter? Well you see that was my problem too. I did not realize how bad carbs were for me until I stopped eating them and saw the results. I have been eating food I love and have lost 20 pounds in a little over a month. On keto you eat LOW carbs, MODERATE protein, and HIGH fat. Keto is all about limited carbs. These are sugars, breads, pasta, potatoes, most processed foods, and more. It is also important to look at the net carbs of a product, this is the carb count subtracted by the fiber. Carbs do fuel our body, but for most of us we already have excess fuel and should be burning that rather then adding more carbs. Also, are bodies run better on fat are
