Tia Things

Hey gems! So the summer has had a lot of ups and downs and the pandemic is still affecting a lot of us. That being said I am spending so much time outside in the sun this year that I noticed my skin reacting and needed to change up my skin care routine! 1. Hydrating My skin has never been oily or dry it's always just in the middle depending on the day. What I found is that it was so dry, flaking off and no matter how much I moisturized it didn't improve. I started drinking tones more water and noticed almost immediately that my skin was much more hydrated too and not at all flaking. I now try to drink 4-8 water bottles everyday and my skin is thriving!! Not to mention all the other benefits that come along with this! 2. Low/No makeup Because of the gloriousness that is WFH, my skin has gotten a great break from makeup, my pores have a new life and I am way more confident being without makeup for every Zoom call.

Let me tell you guys that if you see me during wedding season in a black outfit you best believe it is because my heels and clutch are neon! I am so excited for the warmer weather to play around with this trend I think it will be so fun and can be done in any way from nails, to clothing and accessories. We will certainly be seeing neon this season and it will certainly be included in my outfits! Next up, I am sure many of you have watched this show, it became a viral sensation this winter but Love is Blind  s...

Hey gems, If you’ve been reading for a while you know I started working full time in April. At that point I was still in classes and exams: by May I was done school but still had a really tough time adjusting. I wasn’t at all expecting the adjustment to take as long as it did. I was used to working two, sometimes three jobs while being in school. Yet, working full time was really challenging for the first two months. I was still working part time on weekends so it was a 7 day straight schedule. Even once that ended, I found myself always feeling like I never had any personal time. I finally am feeling like I have a great hold on my time, and even though I still work some weekends, I make sure to keep at least one weekend day off per week (when I can). Here are some of the tricks I found most useful! Schedule your week: Little things like outfits, evening activities, meal planning, etc. Can make a huge difference. Having things prepared ahead of time really helps you st...
