The Dream Team: Aveeno Positively Radiant
































These two wonders have been a constant staple on the top of my dresser for months since I first tried them and are both repurchases showing just how much I love them. I absolutely love the formula of both of these products especially with my tricky to deal with skin. Aveeno's Positively Radiant moisturizer is perfect for my super oily skin and it doesn't make my skin break out, which is always a plus. Another plus to this lovely little bit of heaven is that it has SPF protection to protect my skin from harsh UV rays that can cause potential skin damage and I mean who doesn't want gorgeous skin when they get older.

Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Lotion is perfect for people like me who don't like the residue that lotions can leave behind when they haven't fully absorbed into the skin. This little beauty absorbs quickly and leaves my skin healthy and glowing for the entire and then some. It is also perfect for these colder months when my skin dries up rather easily and starts to looked all cracked and nasty. Both these products are available at most local drugstores and the prices and links to the products themselves are listed below.

Sick Day Essentials



























It was bound that I would end up getting sick with my immune system and all my friends being sick at the momment, but I thought I would turn this negative into a positive by writing a blog post about all the things that make me feel better when I am under the weather. 

When I am sick my skin and body tend to just become really dehydrated, making water, tea, and lip balm, a total necessity for me. They allow me to be able to get through the day and make me feel healthier by flushing out all the nasty stuff from my system and just bringing me back to life. I love to cozy up in my bed and read anything when I am under the weather. Right now I have absolutely been loving Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch, just think of it as if Harry Potter met Castle and formed one great fantasy mystery novel taking place all over England. When I get sick of reading actual books I love magazines, Seventeen being one my all time favorites for many years now and I was so excited when I saw that this month's had all of my favorite YouTubers in it. 

One of my most guilty pleasures when I am sick is binge watching some of my favorite shows on Netflix, right now I have been absolutely loving New Girl. I just can't seem to get enough of the quirkiness that Zooey Deschanel and the rest of the cast bring to the show, making this the perfect sick day pick me up. Last but not least you can't forget about sanitizing because when you are sick this is one of the most important steps in keeping you and your friends from becoming more sick. I absolutely love Bath & Body Works 'Stress Relieving' eucalyptus and spearmint hand sanitizer because it smells like mens cologne in the best of ways. My friends and I even joke about its name calling it the 'manitizer'.


Leave me a comment below telling me your favorite things to have around when you are sick. 


XOXO,
