Taking Care of Me – My Nightly Skincare Routine

Here’s another #SkinCareRoutine for my Fix-it Friends!

Now that I’ve hit 40 I’m back on my #SkinCare #SelfCare routine like never before.

Being that I’m also now a mom to two little people, I have to be EXTRA intentional about carving out time for my routine, which usually means doing so later at night (once the kids are in bed and actually staying there🤦🏾‍♀️) or during the day (if my husband can keep them away from whatever bathroom I’m in (they usually find me and knock until I let them in🙃).

Anyways. Here’s what you came here for, THE ROUTINE:

I used the Detoxifying Pore Scrub by Olay, my current go to Toner by Dermasil (Purchased at the Dollar Tree ), I’m trying this Retinol serum (another Dollar Tree find), and this No7 Night Creme is an old favorite (I’ve tried a few of their skin care sets and my skin responded really well each time). I closed it out with the Retinol Serum Under Eye Roller (another Dollar Tree find).

My skin feels super moisturized already. 🧖🏾‍♀️ I’m excited to see what happens overnight!🛌😴🙏🏾

But, back to the subject of this post. As the title suggests, one of my other renewed interests is fishing! This is something I haven’t done for years!

Verse of the Day – Exodus 14:14

The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”

Exodus 14:14 NLT

Today’s verse of the day is RIGHT on TIME. I love how this particular translation instructs us to “stay calm.” (in contrast with others that tell us to “be still.”)

2018 has been quite the year, indeed and staying in/returning to a state of calm (#ProtectYourPeace) has been essential in dealing with all of the circumstances I’ve encountered thus far.
