A New, Fresh Start To Daily Beauty Routines

For Hair, Skin and Nails

As I embrace 2017 full force, I decided on a few new beauty tips and tricks. I have been doing this routine each morning for about two to three weeks now, and I love it. I wake up, I drink a glass of water, and I get right to it: my new routine!

This routine is nothing big or noticeable, but it makes me feel healthy, more confident, and in control of my body. Although I didn't make any goals for the new year, I have had more motivation than usual to keep myself healthy as can be this new year, which means my hair, skin, and nails as well!

1. Moisturizer!!!

I can not stress enough to you how important moisturizer is to your body. I apply lotion all over myself during the colder months especially. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I am doing something and notice I have dry skin.

2. Coconut Oil

I use coconut oil on my hair after I blow-dry it in the morning. I just take a dab of it and lightly go through my hair to control the frizz.

3. Nail Care

I have never been able to grow my nails out, but I have found that starting at the cuticles is my best option. I apply CuticleElixir to restore any dry cuticles. I also apply a top coat of strengthening nail polish at the beginning of the week to keep my nails from being damaged.

4. Biotin

Not only would I love to grow my nails out, but I want my hair longer and thicker too. Biotin works the best! I have been taking it for a few months now and can tell the world's difference of what it has done for my hair, skin, and nails. I take one tablet once a day.

5. Clean Teeth

I have been trying my best to floss everyday (sometimes I forget) and I love to brush my teeth morning and night. To keep my teeth looking white, I use whitening strips. Usually once a day in the morning. If I notice any sensitivity, I will taper off and use a strip when I feel ready again.

6. Self Tanner

I know that self tanner can be tricky, but sometimes a girl just wants to look like she just got back from her favorite beach get-a-way. To me, looking tan also means feeling healthier and stronger. A little bit once every two weeks works perfect!

7. Vaseline

I use vaseline on my lips to help them stay hydrated and I apply a tiny amount on my eyelashes to help them look longer and fuller.

8. Vitamin E Oil

It is great for the skin. I will use it under my eyes when they are puffy. Sometimes I combine vitamin E oil and coconut oil and apply it to my eyebrows with a clean mascara applicator to help them grow and stay in place.

And that's it!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
