These days I’m really into fresh, dewy looking skin. There’s just something about being and LOOKING moisturized that’s just a win. People take notice that’s for sure. With makeup I achieve this look with a combination of oils and highlighters.
For the body I’ve been giving St. Ives Fresh Hydration Lotion a try. So the cool thing for me about this is it’s a spray lotion. This is new to me so I feel really cool using it haha. It’s very light and not greasy at all. Thank goodness, because leather seats and grease do not go together trust. It’s really easy to use, you just spray it onto your body in a continuous motion and it uses 100% natural moisturizers. Then you lightly rub it in and you don’t get that heavy lotion feel at all. Check it out, let me know how you like it.
These days I’ve been so busy with events and blog projects it’s easy to feel swallowed up and overwhelmed by it all. The way you feel mentally can really take a toll on your body. Along with using products that make me feel refreshed, I’ve started taking one day off a week. I try to make it Wednesday’s, as that’s kind of the halfway point in the week. I take this time to lounge in bed til late, if I do work I only work from my laptop IN bed. I’ll go get my hair or nails done or something. Basically I just really focus on me and I’m happier for it. What do you do to make your life brighter?

November 24, 2014 at 12:33 AMHey Ria, the white top you have on in this post…do you think this top in black would go with the “ASOS Column Maxi Skirt with Thigh Split” ??
Would it also go with a pencil or midi pencil skirt?
I’m slim and petite like you. I just have no idea…idk. But I have a feeling the angular shape of the top wouldn’t go well. I think it goes well only with flare type skirts(and I’m not a fan of flare type skirts)
What do you think??

November 27, 2014 at 5:34 AMHey Ling,
I’m not actually that petite, I’m average height at 5’7. I think if you’re smaller then the maxi skirt would be too long. It’d be better with a pencil skirt or something shorter. I originally got this top to wear with a midi pencil skirt and just haven’t done it yet.

November 27, 2014 at 4:25 PMI was specifically intending to buy that top to wear with the thigh split maxi skirt. I’m 5’2 so not thaaat short.
So do you still think it’d be better with a shorter skirt regardless??
