Skincare routine to get ready for the holidays ft. Clarisonic Mia 2

October 28, 2016

When PSL hit Starbucks back in September and the first day of 50 degree weather came, I knew I had to change up my summer skincare routine. But of course, procrastination. And now when November is almost here, it is time for sure I make a change to get my skin ready for the upcoming holidays. Today, I’d love to share with you my recent skincare routine. I’ll be featuring the Clarisonic Mia 2 device that I received for this review and sharing my thoughts on it.

As we all know how much I complain about the dry climate in Colorado, guess what, it’ll be even drier in the colder months. For me, the most two important things in a skincare routine for this time of year: gentle cleansing, and moisturizing. So when I received this Clarisonic Mia 2 kit to test, it couldn’t be more perfect. It is a sonic facial cleansing device with a gentle cleansing brush that can be detached for maintenance or replace. It feels so gentle on skin yet it does an amazing job cleansing! A-m-a-z-i-n-g! My face feels so clean, like way better than cleansing with my hands. It is nice and clean and ready to absorb the next products.

I listed my full regimen with the products I use below. But as far as moisturizers, I’ve been using this Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve cream and it’s so good. I also keep with me this Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar night cream. This renewed version smells and feels 100x better than the original version.

If you want to do early holiday gift shopping for someone, do consider this Clarisonic Mia 2 device. It’d make a great gift, especially for girls and guys who enjoy taking good care of their skin! There are also many gift set options. The device itself has a cleansing brush, and a magnetic charger for the handle. You can also get a set (like pictured above) that includes a foaming gel cleanser, a clay mask (that I use once or twice a week) and a cute travel case. This case is so helpful, it makes packing with my clothes and other items so much easier.

    I agree having a good skincare routine is essential, especially in places with cold or hot climates! I love using the clarisonic brush to get deep into y pores to ensure I have no yuckies clogging!

    I thought Clarisonic only had the actual machine, not skincare products. I definitely need to try that mask. I’m a sucker for face masks!

✨ Wood signs for my little Prince baby shower ✨:

- I ordered custom adhesive vinyl decals to be printed for large dimensions (around 3-5 ft tall). 
- Cut the shapes out, and trace the shapes on wood boards (I used 1/4” thick plywood).
- I put painter tape around the traced line to reduce wood chipping when cutting with a saw later.
- Cut the shapes on the wood boards with a jig saw.
- Brad nail leftover woods on the back to make a stand for the signs (some small pieces of 2x4 worked well). 
- Apply the adhesive back of the art decals onto the wood signs.
- Enjoy! 🩵✨🎠

☺️ What I’d do different if I do this again: 
1. The horse and carriage are ok, but I’d loved the castle to be taller.
2. Use foam boards instead of wood for lighter weight. Wood would be great if these signs will be outside where it might be windy, but for indoors event, I would do foam.

My birth story 🤰🏻: 
I went to bed at 39w3d with contractions 10 minutes apart, but had thought they were faux labor contractions (because I had Braxton Hicks and prodromal contractions most of pregnancy) so I didn’t think much of it. I woke up at 2am and called my doctor at 4am since contractions were 7 min apart (still thinking they were not real 😂). Good thing she told me to come in. I debated if I should put makeup on and decided to not - wise decision! During the car ride, 7 min apart became 5 min apart. When we arrived at hospital, I was 6cm dilated. I asked for epidural and by the time I got one, I was 8cm dilated. I started pushing shortly after, and baby came after 20 minutes of pushing.
