Facial Steamer Benefits

| Bakersfield Beauty Blogger

Hello there! I know that it has been a while since you’ve heard from me, but I’m sure that it’s been crazy for all of us nowadays. I hope that you are staying at home and staying safe! Enough of that, and let’s get to the real reason that you clicked on this post; The benefits of a facial steamer.

I purchased a facial steamer over a month ago and have not stopped using it since! I wasn’t sure that I was going to love it, but I took a chance anyway. My first thought about a facial steamer is that I should have purchased one a long time ago. Here are a few reasons why You need one in your life.

  1. It helps to remove toxins – You never really know how much gunk is in your skin until you clean it and see a difference.
  2.  It helps to remove blackheads and whiteheads – Need I say more? 
  3. It opens your pores – This helps to let the skincare products absorb into your skin so that all of the money that you spent on those products, doesn’t go to waste. 
  4. It helps promote collagen production – This keeps your skin looking fine as wine in the summertime!
  5. Did I mention that it helps relieve sinus problems?  
  6. It also helps to remove all of the dead skin that is on the surface of your face. 
  7. It’s very relaxing. 
  8. It leaves the skin looking healthy and glowing. 

Not only are all of those reasons great, but the facial steamer is also super affordable! I picked mine up from Amazon; I will link it below for you to check it out.

I hope that you enjoyed this post and found it informative. Next, I will be sharing my at-home skincare routine that will include the facial steamer. Keep a lookout for that! I hope that you have a wonderful week!

Can you believe that March is already here? I feel like this year is just moving so fast, and I can’t catch up! I guess it’s true that the older that you get, the faster time flies.

For today’s blog post, I want to share my new goals for March. You guys seem to like these posts the most, so here you go! 

  1. Work with a local boutique- I have mentioned before that I want to start working with more local companies. This month I’m going to make it a priority to make sure that it happens. 
  2. I have reached 4,000 followers on Instagram- I currently stand at 3,815 followers. I’m not too far behind my goal; I know that it will happen. 
  3. I have my first pop-up shop- This will happen, I signed up for a local pop-up on the 29th of this month!
  4. I have 1,600 blog followers.
  5. I have $1,900 in my savings account- so far, I have reached the rest of my goals when it comes to savings. 
  6. I have a new blog post up once a week- this is a little harder than it seems, but I am going to try my best!

I know that some of these goals are the same as last month, but that means that I need to work harder to achieve them. I hope that this inspires you to write down your goals so that you can reach them as well.

Shein Curve Haul

| Bakersfield Beauty Blogger

Happy THURSDAY! I hope that your week is going great so far; today, I have a small haul for you from Shein Curve. This is the second time that I have placed an order with them, and so far, I love all of the pieces that I bought! So here is what I purchased.

If you haven’t heard of Shein Before, it’s a clothing website that sells cute clothes for a very affordable price. The quality isn’t always the best, but when I can buy a brand new cute dress for $10, sign me up! They have a wide variety of sizes; they have regular to plus sizes. I do recommend sizing up if you decide to purchase anything from Shein. I bought everything in size 20, and the shoes are a size 9.

I love T-shirt dresses, they are so comfy! So I purchased two, just different colors.

LATELY, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING A LOT OF YOUTUBERS SHOW WHAT THEY PURCHASED ON AMAZON, AND I HAVE LOVED IT. SO TODAY I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD SHARE MY FAVORITE AMAZON PURCHASES WITH YOU!

  1. My all-time favorite purchase from Amazon has been my fluffy red sweater. I wear it almost every day; it’s so cute and comfortable.  
  2. Throughout this pregnancy, my Amazon favorite is the Rumor Has It Maternity shirt. It’s so cute, comfortable, and super affordable. I currently have two more chilling in my cart. 
  3. This clear bag is so on-trend and perfect for Instagram photos. I use it every time I head to a meeting or a social event. 
  4. Tennis shoes have been my go-to lately. Perfect for my pregnancy and all of the walking that I do. 
  5. Another purchase that I use almost every day is these fantastic makeup brushes. They are super affordable and have lasted so long.

  7. Now it’s time for some phone accessories! I can’t get over my phone case. It looks super expensive, but it wasn’t! 
  8. As a blogger, I take a lot of my photos, so when I found this Amazon purchase, I had to have it. This SideKick phone mount is so convenient and easy to use.

  10. Last but not least, I purchased a game for family night. Sequence is such fun, and the entire family plays it for hours and hours. It’s a game of strategy, and I ended up buying it for two of my other family members.

| Bakersfield Beauty Blogger

A new month is so refreshing to me; I love the chance of starting over. Everything that didn’t happen the month before, I make it a point to make it happen in the new month. February is a shorter month, but there are still enough days in the month to get shit done! In today’s post, I’m going to share all of my goals for this February.

My Goals for February

  • I have reached 4,000 on Instagram; this goal has been a long time coming. I am currently sitting at 3,723. I know that I can get to that 4K mark; I need to be more consistent. If you would like to contribute my following count and help me achieve my goal, you can follow me on Instagram here.

Top 5 Favorite Maternity Favorites

| Bakersfield Beauty Blogger

I am currently in my 6th month of pregnancy, what a long journey this has been. On this journey, I have been through a lot, but I have sound some favorites that have kept me happy during this time. I feel the need to share these products with you just in case you are in the same boat that I am. These favorites are some game-changers; I hope that you enjoy this post. 

  1. Coconut Oil – My skin has been incredibly dry this pregnancy; my son has been sucking all of the moisture from my skin and leaving me with nothing. Coconut oil has saved my skin! It has so many benefits, not only is it a great makeup remover, but it is also an excellent moisturizer.
  2. What To Expect When You’re Expecting– This book has helped me understand the changes that my body has been going through and the growth of my baby.
  3. Adjustable Maternity Pant Extenders– These bad boys have saved me a ton of money. No need to splurge on maternity pants, when these exist.
  4. Anything Sour- Sour skittles, sour belts, just anything sour.
  5. Leggings- They always fit!

All of these products I have been using religiously! I hope that I helped you discover a maternity favorite. If you have any products that you recommend, I would love to try them out! Please leave them in the comments.

2020 New Year Goals

| Bakersfield Beauty Blogger

I love this time of year; this is the time to start fresh and become a better version of myself — it’s time to put my brain to use and think about what needs improvement in my life. So down below are some of my goals for the year 2020. I have put a lot of time and thought into these. I have a feeling that this is going to be the best year yet. 

This quote was found from Pinterest.
  1. I make more time for myself- I am always putting others before me. I am going to make it a priority to put myself first. 
  2. I will hit 50k followers on Instagram- I mean, who doesn’t want a big social media following? 
  3. I work with more local companies- Collaborations for my blog and Instagram. 
  4. I utilize my time better- I need to be more productive and manage my time better. 
  5. 2020 will be the year that I buy a house. 
  6. I drink more water- This goal is on my list every year. 
  7. I have stopped comparing myself and my life to others on social media. 
  8. I show up every day, and I do my personal best. 
  9. My credit score is 750. 
  10. I have more patience with everything and everyone. 

I can’t wait to cross all of these goals off my list next year; I can only go up from here. 

I hope that 2020 treats you better than in 2019. Happy Goal Setting.

Top 10 Favorite Red Lipsticks

| Bakersfield Beauty Blogger

The holidays are upon us!

I know that I can’t be the only one that loves a beautiful, classic, red lip this time of year. It’s so festive and speaks holiday time! The best part about wearing red lipstick is that it can be dressed up, (rocking a bold smokey eye, lashes to the heavens, and glitter upon glitter!). It can also be another casual Monday at the office kind of look (no eye shadow, natural and wispy lashes, and hair in a sleek bun).

Today I have gathered 10 of my top favorite red lipsticks to share with you. Most of these are super affordable and are at your local drug store. I hope that you enjoy this short yet informative post! I will be linking all of the lipsticks that I share with you down below.

All of these lipsticks apply smoothly and beautifully!

I hope that you enjoyed this post; it was fun to share these products with you. If you have other red lip recommendations, please leave them in the comments! I am always looking to try out something new.

Happy holidays!
