Now that I’ve been happy with how clear my skin has been, I wanted to focus on improving pigmentation and texture. This Vitamin C serum by Amara Organics was highly recommended by one of my best friends. I’ve been using it every night for the last month and a half and this serum has been showing me amazing results! This is the first product I’ve purchased from Amara Organics, but now I’m curious about the rest of their range.

Keeping up with my skin care obsession, this Peter Thomas Roth Peeling Gel is a favorite that I’ve been using for the past year. Exfoliating clears that right up, but physical exfoliants, such as ones that have micro-beads in them, can be too harsh on my sensitive skin. He placed a small amount on my hand and I began to rub it into my skin; within a couple of seconds, dry skin started to flake off (gross, I know). I use it once to twice a week and my skin feels soft and gently exfoliated every time.

I recently ran out of my night time facial moisturizer and was looking for a hydrating one when I decided to change it up and try an oil. The blue tint doesn’t stain your face, so once you rub it into your skin, you won’t look like a smurf. Just don’t go sleep on your white pillow cases immediately after, give it some time to work into your skin! At $105  for 1 ounce (or $55 for 0.5 ounces), it is one of the most expensive skin care products I own.

I try to make a New Year’s resolution every year and some of them never change: be healthier, more spiritual, and travel often. This year I decided to add a more specific resolution, finally organize my closet. I have a hard time letting go of things, especially because I think every article of clothing has some kind of memory attached to it. My dream closet would include space for seating and more shelving for shoes… is a chandelier too much?! 🙂 I’d love to know, what are your New Year’s resolutions?
