Roughly five years ago, I made the decision to go natural. It was a hard one, but I felt it was necessary, as my relaxed hair was completely wrecked. In May of 2013, just a month before our wedding, I did the big chop.

I mean, it's truly not a surprise at all...but I LOVE BEAUTY PRODUCTS. More so than just loving beauty products, I love finding things that truly work and improve my skin's overall well-being!

At the beginning of the year, I always find myself taking inventory of my skincare regimen and figuring out how I should move forward with it. The end of 2017 presented lots of lifestyle changes for me, which naturally affects one's skin. And not to mention, here in Ohio we are having the most brutally cold weather, which also demands taking that skincare regimen up a notch! And lastly, with 30 on the horizon, I had been itching to change up my routine and REALLY go after my silky-soft skin goals.

And we are TWO SLEEPS away from NEW YEARS EVE! Just in case you missed the excitement in that first sentence, I'm pretty jazzed for NYE. In fact, it's one of my favorite holidays! There's just some about getting dressed up, going out for a steak dinner, sipping fake champs and staying up until midnight that makes my heart sing!

There's no doubt about it...I'm a sucker for the more fanciful things in life. I love getting dressed up, having my hair done and getting my nails done! As I've said before, just ask my mom and she will tell you that I've been an ultimae Priss Pot since my early years. haha.
