SummerSun☼-kissed Skin!

My neck of the woods has reached our peak heat lately. How about you?

Bearing this in mind, as much as some of us out there crave the great outdoors, we must take care of our skin.

My fave go-tos for fun ‘n the sun 

☼ Sunscreen (even when the skies are cloudy because my skin’s still exposed)

  • including SPF for your Lips ~ one of my top’s from Tone It Up!

☼ Lotion that reduces …

  • visibility of hair (especially on my legs ~ after laser hair removal)
  • and cellulite!

Aloe Vera ~ to help repair the skin from sun exposure and bug bites, both in

  • topical form
  • and oral! The drink tastes amazing (like bubble tea) and is nourishing!

Alo

H2O ~ so we can glow from the inside out!

What about when we’re back inside to cool off?

Introducing …

CeraVe!

Warm Scarf

This scarf warmed me up on my way from Abilene to San Antonio to Corpus Christi, TX!

Since the winter chill still hasn’t gone away completely …

Holy Scarf

Just like that Confessions of a Shopaholic movie, I ought to be called “Girl in the †Holy† Scarf!” {Featuring: Rose †Rosary† for my ♥LOLA ROSA♥ on her ☼birthday☼}

Let’s wrap up in our scarves:

Beautiful Scarf

The burgundy pairs well with my Superman beanie, Coach Legacy frames & Playboy Bunny top + Annie seems to like!

Including this beautiful colorful one from Edwin that was crafted in Nepal

Shawl

Time to cover up before this winter wedding!

Or this shawl for when I ministered at my R.E. student’s parents’ wedding

Weddings Gifts

More generous gifts from the wedding family

 Or this lavish chevron striped one from her parents as a thank-you gift!

Chevron-Striped Scarf

C is for … Comfy * Cozy * Chevron Stripes

Spa Saturday: Rolling Pin

In ♥ & Soul, Community, Home Sweet Home, Relationships, Travel, Weekly Wonders, Yours Truly on 02/07/2015 at 16:15

I’ve had many massages in my day …

  • deep tissue (my most in demand)
  • Swedish (softer than my liking)
  • sports orthopedic ~ after my races
  • hot stones ~ my ♥V-Day♥ gift 3y ago
  • cellulite ~ what Lisa calls the fatty patty

… And the other day, I added another type to my list:

Rolling Pin Massage!

Following last weekend’s festivities full of food and drink, Lisa had me back to test her newest technique …

… And now, I swear by it!

She applied just the right amount of pressure, switched up the speed and direction to keep me at ease.

Therefore, rolling pins aren’t just for the kitchen to roll out the dough, but also come in handy for this DISPO!
