Best of 2014 | Top 14 Picks, Skin Care Edition

2014 was undoubtedly the most tumultuous skin care year of my life, but it taught me a lot about the resilience of our body's largest organ. As painful (aka miserable) as my cystic acne experience was, it was incredibly valuable and truly eye-opening. I am constantly working on reducing the minor scarring left behind, but at least I know first-hand what acne products actually do work! I hope my recommendations from my skin journey entry have given you a better idea of what to try first, but today, I wanted to focus on the Best Skin Care discoveries of 2014! Hope you enjoy the lineup and look forward to the makeup edition next week! xo

HAUL: Clothing, Hair, Skin, Chanel Holiday 2014 Makeup + New Jewelry

October has been a successful haul month! This episode has a little bit of everything from drugstore skin care to flattering fitness clothing to Chanel Holiday makeup, so I hope you'll appreciate the variety! I tried my best to incorporate only the best and most memorable from my loot. I also wore a couple of pieces from Anna Beck (see above), the new jewelry line I have fallen head over heels for! AB jewelry is beautiful, comfortable, and totally collectible. Rounding out this month's haul, however, is Chanel Holiday 2014 makeup which includes the elusive Reve d'Orient eyeshadow palette and the phenomenal new Rouge Allure Lip Glosses! Hope you enjoy xo

My TOP 5 SUNSCREENS | Natura Bissē, Sisley, Clé de Peau, Eve Lom, and Equitance

Most of my readers and viewers are aware that I am wholly dedicated to sunscreen. I have been fairly diligent about wearing it daily since my university days, but now I will wear sunscreen even when I do not plan on leaving the house at all! A good broad-spectrum sunscreen is the best step toward the anti-aging campaign since it will protect you from wrinkles and sun spots as well as prevent any acne scars from darkening. I have tested so many sunscreens in the past year that I have lost count, but I am finally ready to share my top 5 picks!

Summer 2014 Beauty and Fashion Haul feat. Remington, GlamGlow, Anthropologie, Moroccanoil + more!

This haul is Beau's second appearance in one of my videos! I know many of you would like to see vlogs, so I plan to start filming them once he is a couple months older and can go on outdoor adventures with me. Until then, please follow Beau on Instagram! Now, I tried to pack as much into this haul as possible, but there were several products I had to leave out. I've posted all of my recent acquisitions on my Instagram account, so if there is anything in particular that you're interested in, just let me know! I only showcased the best and most compelling products in this video and focused more on variety instead of simply highlighting new beauty products. Happy shopping! xo
