My nighttime skin care routine

So a few posts ago, I talked about my morning skin care routine, if you missed that click here, and today I share with you my night time skin care routine. When we sleep, our skin really gets to work healing and renewing so here are some products I use to make the most out of that process! Seems like a gazillion things to do but you'll thank me when people ask how your skin looks so glowy!

Lovely Letters - A Snail Mail Exchange

Perhaps it's that I needed to remind myself to slow down, or that I love receiving actual letters in the mail that I can touch and read, or perhaps it's that I love surprises and meeting new people. Well in fact, it's all of that. I love meeting new people, especially when they are in another country, I love corresponding via snail mail, I love purchasing stamps, and I love the idea of these lovely letters.

My Beach Bag Essentials

Summer is upon us here in Los Angeles, thought it's usually warm and sunny, it's been especially warm lately and we've been finding ourselves at the beach or prowling for a pool to dip into a lot these days. Thought I'd share with you the things I pack with me each time, my beach bag essentials! You can pack this bag for the beach, to go pool side, or even for any time you hike or spend an extended period of time outside. These are just some of my must have items for my skin and lips to keep my protected, hydrated, and refreshed.

Best Frangrances For The Summer- My Faves

If you know me than you know I'm ALL about fragrances! I have about 20 perfumes at home, it's a problem I know.  Anything that makes my skin or hair smell divine, I'm all about. I always have at least 2 different perfumes with me at any given time. I also ALWAYS have a roller ball of some sort ON me ALL the time, just in case! haha. I've changed my sense of smell over the past few months, switched out my current faves, and today I'll share with you my favorite summer fragrances and why I love them so much!

How To Keep Your Skin Young

So being the mother of a 16 year old can make you feel really old. I mean I'm no spring chicken y'all! But I do a million different things to keep my skin looking and feeling youthful, radiant, and healthy. Here is my updated morning and night time skin care routines. Below is my fresh face with only ONE filter on it, I mean, it's as bare as it can get so I figured I'd help myself out with some lighting!

This takes about 3-4 minutes each day to complete and it's worth it! I mean hopefully my skin will look like this forever....or until I wake up looking like Freddie Kruger one day. You know what they say....Asian don't raisin...until one day, unexpectedly, we wake up looking 109!!!

OOTD - Movin' and groovin'!

I may have a slight love obsession with leggings. I mean I have them in every color imaginable, exhibit A below. So today I met with my dream team over at Game Show Network and we have a new show concept coming up and I'm so excited about it. Pretty much hosting is all I want to do right now so it's all I've been doing. I like using words and energy and tossing them at an audience. Also this is what I wore today, here's today OOTD- style watch - dressing up leggings so that you can perform normal every day functions without looking like you just came from the gym ;)

Getting my fix!

Hi! I know it's been a bit since I've written a post on here, so much is going on, so lets catch up! If you watch me on YouTube than you know I'm vlogging daily on my channel now. Click here to check those out, it's 'vlog a day in May', which means I pick up my camera every day and video blog my life. I'm used to doing comedy, writing sketches, being impersonal about things so this is very different for me, but I like it! Also I started a blog with my daughter Corrine, click here for it, it's called spoiledpeaches.com and she and I take turns over there writing posts. It's a way for she and I to stay connected while she is away at college so I'm starting now! So today I'll share with you my style watch for the week, it's a few pieces I received from Stitch Fix.
