July 2015 Favorites

For the month of July, I've been pretty lazy.  I spent half of the month in bed and sick with a monstrous case of "bronchitis" as the doctor liked to call it.  Or, "pretty much pneumonia, basically," as I like to refer to it.  The rest of my time has been spent at work and at the beach.  So, I've been pretty basic this month.  However there are a few things that really pop out to me and that I've been reaching for QUITE A BIT. 

My first favorite is the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation.  Holy. Smokes.  This foundation covers everything and lasts all day.  And, as weird and amazing as it sounds, it only looks better as the day goes on.  There have been days when I don't even want to take my makeup off because my skin looks so airbrushed and smooth.  It really is an amazing product and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone.  However, I would possibly stray away from it if you are on the dry side as it is a pretty matte foundation and may cling to dry patches.  But, still it's worth a trip to your local Estee Lauder counter to try out or get a sample of.  

My next favorite is the Simple Cleansing Micellar Water.  This stuff, actually, just give me a minute, because I can't with this product.... .... ....Ugh, thank you.  This stuff is AMAZING.  I put this stuff on a cotton round and use it to remove my makeup and it takes it off like no other.  It is truly as gentle as water and does not burn your eyes or leave nasty oils on your face.  One thing I hate about makeup remover is the way it makes my skin feel after and this truly cleans every speck of makeup and dirt. 

How this stuff makes me feel...

 And, I won't even say, "How this stuff makes me feel inside," because let's be real, this is how I dance and I DO dance when I love a product this much.

 On a random note, chicken salad is also a favorite this month, because I learned to make it and I did a really good job.  And, chicken salad sandwiches are the best sandwiches and if you don't agree, I will fight you.  (Not really, but don't even try to test my love for chicken salad, or else this guy just might fight you on behalf of me.)







 My last favorite for the month of July is sunscreen.  I got burnt and it wasn't pleasant.  It was a harsh reminder of how much I love and rely on my SPF.  Sunscreen with a high SPF equals a future with less chance of skin cancer and a future with less wrinkles and also a life of being able to move, breathe, wear clothes, lay in bed and shower without flinching because eternal hell didn't find it's way to the surface of your body.  And, I'm down with all of those things.
