Hot Pink Nail Polish: This lovely hue is absolutely perfect for summer. I picked up Orly Va Va Voom at TJMaxx in a mini set of 4. I am in love with it.
Running Races: I ran my first half marathon last Thursday and it was the best experience I have had running this year. My New Year's resolution was to run one race per month all year. So far I have completed 5 5Ks, a7K and a half marathon.The half was the best because I paced myself and completely blew my goal out of the water. I wanted to finish in 3 hours and I finished in 2 hours 20 minutes. So proud.
Drinking Water: I'm trying to substitute water for at least one of my other beverages per day (aka Diet coke). Water has so many benefits and my goal is to drink more of it (8 glasses/day).
Cooking dinner: I love going out to eat, however, it has taken a toll on my bank account. I'm focusing on making meals at home by downloading recipes and grocery shopping early in the week. This week, I made Zucchini Tomato Linguine (so yummy) from this recipe here.

Maintenance: I had to have an oil change last week and my hair highlighted today. It took forever for both and I felt like I was just wasting time sitting around. I guess that is why you should always carry a book with you.
Diet Coke: Really trying to kick this habit. Hence drinking more water.
Sunburn: Ouch.. Over the Fourth I got lost on the second largest lake in Wisconsin. For three hours. I had sunscreen on, however, it didn't hold through all that time. Needless to say, I came home looking like a tomato. And sore. And burning and itchy. :/

Skincare Routine
Like most people, I am very aware of what my skin is doing. If it is acting up, it almost always predicts I will have a bad day. To prevent this, I like to take my skincare routine very seriously.
I have recently discovered a few products that I am obsessed with. Some are from a new line and one is just a staple in most households.
I always start by removing all my make up. To make sure that all my face make up is off, I use Cetaphil as a quick cleanser. I also use this when I am rushed for time. It is extremely gentle and leaves my skin feeling super clean.
When I have more than 30 seconds to wash my face, I use the Olay Fresh effects shine control cleanser and my Clarisonic. This combination leaves my skin super soft and I can tell the dirt and grime have been removed.The Clarisonic is amazing and I don't think I have gone a day without using it since I purchased it.
I then use Olay fresh effects lotion. It leaves my skin silky smooth and it feels amazing! I top it off with Strivectin eye cream. It tightens up the area around my eyes.
