The Organic One

This post is all about de-stressing, enjoying yourself, & relaxing. The holidays are upon us! Everyone can get a little on edge this time of year. People are rude, traffic is horrible, the weather is awful & everyone is broke. Personally, I love the holidays! I enjoy spending time with family & friends, eating turkey, giving gifts, & celebrating Jesus' birthday, but I too need to chill. So today I will  show you how I do that by sharing the things I love.  The #1 thing I do to de-stress is yoga. I know a lot of people generally say that, but it does work for me. I'm a self taught yogi for almost 3 years which basically means I'm terrible at it! I would love to try a class one day but for now I learn the poses or watch youtube videos. It's also amazing for my back. After a good bible study I put on some music and get stretching! The next thing I like to do goes hand in hand with my yoga, and that is light incense or candles.

Today I'm going to share my hair care routine! Switching to organic hair products was really beneficial for me since I used to use heat everyday, & dye it at the salon. It was dry, dull, & brittle until I found a proper routine.  My hair is straight, & fine. Currently I don't use heat, dye it, or ever wear it down.  Around the time of my organic switch I decided I wanted to grow my hair out. I started watching hair care videos, & reading blogs about growing long healthy hair. I didn't want to just switch to an organic shampoo & call it a day. I wanted to change the health of my hair! I watched a lot, & I read a lot, but there is one person I do recommend checking out. Sarah from holistichabits on Youtube inspired me the most about healthy organic living! I tried everything she suggested & love how my hair is now. Link to her channel below! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX7hbrZOkAQX7ugsX-5M0rQ Shampoo & Conditioner ...

I'm really excited for this makeup collection post because I've waited so long to make it! In the beginning of 2017 I decided to start this blog, as well as switching over my makeup. I have my full  collection to share with you, swatches & all! I thought I would talk a little bit about my makeup history & then jump right into my current items. Ta-DA! My old makeup collection...all packed with nasty chemicals. However I'm not here to bash the brands that I used. As you can see I had a ton of makeup. One late night in January I took it all out & went through it, hence the bad photo. I don't recommend the dramatic method that I used, but I needed that big push to get me started. I threw out the old items that I couldn't give away. My family, friends, and colleagues took the rest of it. I couldn't go through 6 bronzers before switching to an organic one! I kept the bare minimum amount to do a lazy everyday look until I bought organic replacement...
