My Top 3 Travel Tricks!

In the hustle and bustle of packing, one is likely to forget things. Since I travel often, I have become quite good at packing, but I have also picked up a few tips and tricks along the way! These 3 tricks are great for whenever you are in a predicament, not solely when you are traveling, but give these a try and let me know how it works for you!

Number 1

Forgot your shaving cream at home or couldn't find one that met the TSA requirements? Not to worry, conditioner does the trick. Apply conditioner to the areas you are about to shave to create a smooth surface for your razor to glide over. I prefer to use the cheap hotel conditioner instead of using my own for this =)

Number 2

Now whether you have oily skin or the weather is especially warm, a greasy face is never attractive. When you have run out of your blotting sheets or you don't have your powder on you, head to the closest public restroom. As strange as it sounds, toilet seat covers will provide the same matte effect to your skin as blotting papers. Being the germaphobe that I am, I always make sure to toss the first one and use the one behind that, just for sanitary reasons. Remember, you are pressing that on your face!

Number 3

Can't seem to tame those flyaways? I have the trick for you! Flyaways are stubborn and often not noticed until we've left the house. For most of us, we don't want to wet our hair or carry a bottle of hairspray with us wherever we go! I take my old mascara and throw it in my purse for those little emergencies! Take the mascara (I suggest a clear one if you are blonde) and just barely touch the individual hair. Don't worry, this will not make your hair crunchy, you just barely have to touch it! This is fast and compact so that you can tame those stubborn suckers anytime, anywhere!

Let me know if you liked this blog! I would love to post more of these for you guys!

Bon Voyage!

Don't Forget Your Vitamins!

Hi Beauties!

Today I thought I would give you a look into my daily doses! These are the vitamins that I take every morning with breakfast! Let me know if you guys take any of these and leave me suggestions below! I am always open to trying something new!

*Please ask a doctor before trying any of these vitamins, I am not a doctor this is simply what I use*

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 is simply one of the five forms of Vitamin D. The only two forms of Vitamin D that pertain to humans is Vitamin D2 and D3. Of those two D3 is slightly more effective in our bloodstream, but there is not a huge difference. The ones I use are made by Carlson. I take one a day. Vitamin D is crucial for metabolizing calcium and phosphorous. It also promotes strong bones and regulating the immune system! 

Fish Oil

Fish Oil is a primary source of Omega-3's. This is also by Carlson. These are the Professional Strength 1250 mg soft gels. I take two of these per day. Fish oil is amazing for so many things. Fish Oil is used to promote cardiovascular, joint, brain, and vision health. This supplement aids in high cholesterol, healthy pregnancy, fertility, and skin care! It can also prevent a multitude of diseases such as depression and arthritis. This is an important part of your daily doses!

Biotin

I love Biotin! It helps support healthy hair and skin as well as carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. I just pick up a generic brand from target, but I make sure to get the highest dosage. Mine is the 5,000 mcg capsules, so I only take one a day. Biotin will help your hair grow longer, your nails grow stronger, and your skin shine brighter! When I take this, I notice my hair grows SO fast. From my head to my eyebrows to, well, everywhere!

Women's Multivitamins

Now, of course, if you are a male, go pick up the Men's Multivitamins. The ones I have are by Rainbow Light Certified Organics. I take two a day, but you can take up to four! The ingredients in this supplement are amazing! It is made with organic fruits and vegetables. This has "antioxidants and targeted herbal complexes to renew core body systems at the cellular level for sustained energy, immunity, and longevity."This also helps with digestive and liver support and will also balance estrogen levels!

Evening Primrose

Last, but definitely not least, Evening Primrose! Mine is by Jarrow Formulas, which you can find at Mothers. It is the cold pressed soft gels, 1300 mg. I take one a day. Evening Primrose is similar to Tea Tree Oil, in that it is SO multi purposeful. You can also buy Evening Primrose oil and add it to tea or use it on the skin. It can be used to help skin disorders such as psoriasis, acne, and eczema. It is also used in aiding osteoporosis, high cholesterol, heart disease, cancer, alcoholism, and more. Women often use this supplement during pregnancy to avoid high blood pressure and even shortening labor. Also, it helps with PMS symptoms (why I use it), breast pain, and menopause symptoms, and ADHD. 

So there it is! Those are my daily supplements! Let me know what you use, I would love to know!

Until Next Time,
