Friday No. Five


I haven't done one of these Friday posts in forevaaaa and I love them! Simple way to share a few things I've been loving lately and little life updates :)

1. Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides: I have never really been into supplements, etc but I had heard about this collagen supplement from a few youtubers and then my mom also mentioned she had heard good things. We ordered ours from Amazon and I really love it! It has absolutely no taste so I usually add one or two scoops to coffee or smoothies and it is super low calorie and high protein. Collagen is supposed to be very beneficial for your skin, nail and hair growth, joint pain, GI health, and even cellulite lol. I've only been using it for about two weeks but I feel like my face is more glowy, one of my friends even said I was "glowing" and ordered a container immediately after I told her what I'd been using haha.

2. Mario Badescu Skincare: This kind off piggy backs of the collagen thing for glowy skin, but recently I've really uped my skincare game by adding in some products from Mario Badescu. My acne has really been controlled beautifully lately by prescribed medicines, but I still struggle with acne scars and hyper-pigmentation. Even if my face is clear, it makes me feel like I can't go out without makeup. I had a random stranger at the nail salon (lol) recommend using a vitamin C serum at night to fade scars so I ordered this kit. I've also only been using these products for a couple of weeks so of course my scars aren't close to being gone at all but I get the feeling they're fading and my skin is so plump and dewy after I use the serum. Also love the glycolic face wash, if I have any sort of pimple it's gone the next day after using this stuff!  I use both the serum and glycolic face wash every other night and my retin-A the other nights. I also use this moisturizer as SPF everyday... it's good but I'm on the hunt for something a little more lightweight and mattifying. I think not using SPF everyday was my biggest skincare mistake that led to my scars.

3. Our upcoming trip to DC: Can't believe I'm headed to DC next weekend with my Mom and sister! A while back, I partially joked with my mother that it would be fun to go to DC for Earth Day weekend to participate in the March for Science and we actually ended up planning the trip! My mom had miles and hotel points that made airfare and our stay practically free so it was a no brainer! I'm so so so so excited for the march as well as exploring the city and museums. Most looking forward to the Museum of Natural History and the Renwick Gallery... and quality time with my mama and sissy of course :)

4. Big Little Lies: Holy wow, this show. The acting is amazing and Maddie, aka Reese Witherspoon, is house goalssss. If you haven't watch yet, go buy a subscription to HBO. Like now.

5. Maren Morris: Okay so I've been obsessed with Maren for months now, since October probably. Her music is just so so good which is surprising because I really gravitate more towards male country artists. She's also so funny on all her social media accounts and truthfully, I just wanna be her best friend haha. My sister and I already have tickets to see her in July when she opens for Sam Hunt in Tampa and I could not be more excited!

Happy Good Friday everyone! Wishing you a wonderful Easter with family and friends! How are you spending the holiday weekend? :)
