My Favorite Summer Products

Hello Beauties! I wanted to get on here and share the products that I have been constantly reaching for this summer. Living in Houston with 90+ degree heat along with the insane humidity does not make it easy to keep your makeup from literally sliding off of your face BUT I have found a solution! I start by washing and moisturizing my face, I have extremely dry skin. Then I use the IT Cosmetics CC cream 50 spf, not only does it help my skin but it also protects it from the sun which is always a plus. Then I add Tarte shapetape concealer and set my ENTIRE face with the Huda Beauty setting powder in the shade "banana bread".

Motivation

Motivation Motivation is a topic I really wanted to address on here for several reasons. It was the reason I started this blog in the first place. I was motivated to write to women in all walks of life as a real wife, mom, daughter, friend, student and full-time employee. What motivates me may not motivate all of you but I am hopeful at least a few understand where I’m coming from.   My family is a HUGE motivation in my life, providing for them is how I feel accomplished in this area. That means I work hard and I am constantly signing myself up for several other things such as kid’s sports, work projects, college where I fluctuate between part-time and full-time depending on my work load. I’ve earned an associate’s degree already and am just a few classes away from earning my bachelors in communication. If I’m being honest I am almost scared to graduate because I’ve done work and school for so long (like 8 years) that I’m not sure how I’ll feel when I don’t ...
