My #AllNaturalStyleSecrets

Skin care is so important, especially since I am in my late 20's. There is a million products out there that say they will do one thing and then they turns out they do a whole lot of nothing. Lately my skin has been stress and I started breaking out.  

Seventh Generation partnered up with Lucky Magazine to request for selected bloggers to write their review on their new Natural Skin-Boosting Serum. I received the Soothing Serum, there is 6 to choose from, Hydrating,Clearing,Firming, Revitalizing, and Protecting.

I have mixed completion, one day its super oily and then next its drier then a desert. When I started using this product my face was very dry, so after applying I had a beautiful dewy face. It has a very faint smell of chamomile which I loved, it was extremely calming since my skin was stressed. I followed the application directions and after using for about  a week I noticed that my face was no longer dried out but it was becoming very oily. The product it self is not greasy, but I decided to cut back to once a day at night and it was perfect. I think I will be using this all winter since my skin seems to be dryer in the colder months.  Over all I am I really do like this product. 

Please head over to their website and please vote for me !

The date is set !

On New Year's Eve 2011/2012, my boyfriend at the time planned an amazing night to take a trip down memory lane in order to propose to me. He did an amazing job and we had so much fun. After waiting a year and 3 months (... who's counting lol) we finally set our date. We chose October 10th 2014 since i love fall foliage in New York, and it's not that cold yet. We are very excited and are looking forward to planning everything, thank goodness time is on our side. We set up a wedding website so friends and family can keep track of our progress and have a few hash tags going. We live in a social media generation why not take advantage of it.

Honda Holiday Party 2012

My Fiancé works at a Honda dealership and last night was their holiday party. It's great seeing everyone all together, all dressed up. The party was held at Powelton Club, in Newburgh NY. Just wanted to share a few photos.

Lawrence Farms Orchards, Newburgh NY

If you live in New York you are lucky enough to get all four seasons. Fall happens to be my favorite, the crisp air, the fall foliage and the smell of hot apple cider. When October comes around you know it's time to go apple & pumpkin picking. We recently visited Lawrence Farm Orchards in Newburgh, NY.  As soon as you pull in you can smell the hot apple cider and warm apple cider donuts. Since it was an early spring, the apple trees bloomed early which caused and early crop so we could not pick the apples off the trees this year. Over all we all had a great time.

Homemade ice cream sandwich

On a hot summer day, there is nothing more perfect then an ice cream sandwich. Even in the early fall I crave one last summer treat before it gets too cold. Normally, you would drive to the nearest gas station, or if you are lucky your neighborhood still gets an ice cream truck to get your ice cream sandwich fix. I personally like to make mine home made. I tend to cheat by buying tollhouse cookie dough already made, and pop them in the oven. After, they are baked let them cool on a wire rack. After they are slightly cooled off, grab your favorite ice cream flavor and take a great big scoop  and plop it right on one of the cookies. Place another cookie right on top and there you have it!  Your own homemade ice cream sandwich.

Cheers & Love
