My mom gave it to me as a gift last year and I started wearing my favorite Saint Christopher pendant on it and basically haven’t taken it off since. I am constantly working out, digging in the garden, swimming and sleeping in my favorite every day pieces and each one looks just as good as they day I first put them on! I’m a firm believer that you can never wear too many rings, I love mixing textures and shapes and different thicknesses to create unique looks every day. Aside from my wedding ring, I pretty much wear a thumb ring every day.

I had hundreds of dollars of ‘must haves’ in my cart that were recommended from witch hazel wipes and an essential oil diffuser to no skid socks and a delivery gown. Yes, I wanted to create the perfect environment to bring my baby into this world, but he made such an excellent point about focusing on the delivery and not feeling the need to be weighed down by all of this extra stuff that I don’t really need.

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen my stories earlier this month where I attended the 1 Year Anniversary party for SkinCeuticals at Hadley Dermatology, and learned all about the benefits, tips, and tricks for adding a glycolic acid into your skincare regimen. If you are new to using chemical exfoliants, it can be a bit overwhelming so here are 5 tips for introducing glycolic acid into your skincare routine from April, my skincare guru at Hadley Dermatology: 5 TIPS FOR ADDING GLYCOLIC ACID TO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE I can honestly say, since my skincare guru April introduced me to SkinCeuticals last December, I have noticed such a huge improvement in my skin! I used to wear foundation everyday because of hyper-pigmentation caused by my 20-something self that was too cool for sunscreen in the San Diego sun, but since using this regimen now I only wear concealer!

The texture of the mat is non-slip, similar to the yoga towels I used to use, so now instead of having to lug an extra towel which I have to wash, I just use this. Even though I am working out at home or on vacation, I still like to rock cute clothes. Its such a great full body workout and you can literally take a jump rope anywhere. I love s’well water bottles because they are insulated and keep my water cold for extended periods of time.
