My First Blog Award Ever!

Lookee!! I got my first blog award ever! Krissy, my new friend whom I met online gave it to me. Isn't that nice of her. Thanks so much, Krissy! And because I was inspired by her beauty routine article. Here's mine:

1. For my morning bath routine, I use Cyleina Organic soaps for my body. I have a complicated bathing routine actually because I do have ten soaps on my soap dish. Teehee! And Krissy said it's OTT. It's complicated because the cure to my keratosis pilaris (chicken skin) makes it so. I'll write about it in my next blog entry. But I use Cyleina Organic Rice Bran on those areas with keratosis pilaris, then soap my entire body with my Soap of the Day. For now, I'm reviewing Cyleina Organic Carrot & Pineapple, so that's my Soap of the Day. After I've rinsed the suds off, I apply Cyleina Organic Tomato soap on those damn keratosis pilaris. Then apply Glutamaxxx Ultima (also from Cyleina) on those areas which I want to whiten (I'll just leave you guessing what those areas are. Hihi)

If I'm going out somewhere, I use my Bath & Body Works Sweet Pea Shower Gel. That's my signature scent because I love its candyish smell. I have to be careful not to be within breathing distance from my daughter and husband, though.

2. After bathing, I slather my favorite Cyleina Peruvian Cacao Whipped Butter Cream all over my whole body, taking extra attention on those keratosis pilaris spots. If I'm going somewhere, I again use BBW Sweet Pea.No colognes or perfumes for me because they aggravate my allergic rhinitis. I do love these scents from way back:

Clinique Happy
Body Shop's Moonflower (which sadly was phased out.)

3. Then comes moisturizing. I'm using Olay Total Effects for my moisturizer right now. That's enough if I don't have somewhere to go to. But if I have to go out, then I put on just a tiny amount of Ecorre BB cream to give my skin that dewy finish. Then on goes lip gloss. I don't like lipstick much because they're too drying for me. Right now, I'm just using Nivea Lip Care Star Fruits in Strawberry. No makeup or foundation. Those are for special, special occasions.

If I do put on make-up, I just put on some Elianto Glitter Blusher in 02 Dusty Rose. I think this is the wrong color though because I've discovered that I have a warm undertone. I should be getting a peachy shade. I don't have eyeshadow yet and I'm eyeing Bare Naturals Mineral Makeup. For lipstick, I mostly love nude/natural shades. For night time, I go for Avon Gold Lipstick in Natural. For day time, I use Clinique in Creamy Nude.

3. At night time, I choose relaxing Cyleina Organic soaps, such as Cyleina Organic Green Tea soap or Cyleina Organic Grapeseed Extract soap. After applying the Cyleina Organic Peruvian Cacao Whipped Butter Cream in Chocolate, I put on my night moisturizer. For now, it's Silka Papaya Night Whitening Cream or the St. Ives Collagen Elastin Facial Moisturizer. If I'm not feeling lazy, I also apply this yummy Cyleina Organic Peruvian Cacao Solid Body Butter on my elbows, knees, and feet. If I put this on, I feel like I'm freshly baked and ready to eat. LOL! But it does make my rough spots disappear.

All this I'm doing because I'm working from home and have all the time in the world. (At least, I make it that way.) So now, I'm giving this Beautiful Blogger award to Joybeth!
