If it isn't obvious at this point that I love skincare, then I'm not sure I'm doing it right. For the past month I have had the privilege of trying Y'OUR Skincare exclusively to test out how they work. My skin wasn't the worst its has been like I previously blogged about on here. . I honestly just got a little lazy and on top of everything leveling out my hormones since being post partum. Overall, good skin- just really clogged pored. Plus, my skin texture wasn't as smooth as I wanted it nor was it where it had been when I worked really hard to eliminate what was causing my cystic acne. So no acne, but clogged pores. I can work with that. With Y'OUR, it's gets to know you personally by a short quiz to understand your skin care wants and problems. Which, I looove because I can get a whole routine without having to formulate one on my own. They basically give me all the steps to be successful. 

So down to the real stuff, is it worth it? I think so. Here's the breakdown: simple, delivered to your door, and it formulated just for you (need I say more!!). The one step I wish I had was exfoliation. I started to slip back into bad picking habits (oops).

Unfortunately, I don't have before photos but what I can say is yes my skin is better. Some of the clogged pores either need to be extracted by a professional or I will continue to add exfoliation separately. But what I loved about Y'OUR Skin is that my skin looked hydrated and clear by the end of my trial. Please don't take my word for it, try it yourself, See if it works for you and your skin journey!

I am usually the person that has the great idea to give everyone in my office a nice homemade gift at Christmas time or Christmas update card around December 15th. That's way too late to stat thinking about that. Honestly, I get so busy and it seems so daunting that I inevitably give up and make a note that next year will be my year. So when I got the opportunity to work with Basic Invite, I had a few requirements for my self: A.) it had to look pretty, and B.) it had to be easy. And that was exactly what I experienced with Basic Invite. I went through the whole process and tried a variety of different  options (all pictured) from home stationary, family thank you's, Frankie's baby announcement, Ryan-Kate's  preschool graduation, and a hypothetical anniversary party. The ease of each project sold me! When I received my samples I was blown away with the quality of each of my items, and I didn't even get the gold foil option! Right now, Basic Invite is offering 15% off with code: 15FF51. 

Basic Invite has a line for their graduation invites, announcements, and thank you's. I created a mock up for Ryan-Kate and I loved how it turned out! I loved the interaction with the whole process, they double check your work and once you approve they send it off to print! I consistently have spelling errors and admittedly am not a details person. So the fact that someone else can check my work was an added bonus. 

Being a mom, I take my coffee seriously. Sometimes I only get a few precious moments to myself before the day starts moving. Motherhood comes with a lot of growing and sacrifices, but I’ve learned that it is still important to treat yourself once in awhile. When I want to treat myself, I start with coffee. As you know, nothing comes before coffee. I can’t be the only one who feels this way. I have partnered with McDonald’s to help spread the word about their newly re-crafted McCafé menu items. The new McCafé espresso menu provides quality espresso that actually has flavor, value, and convenience. What I love about McCafé is its accessibility. I can always find a McDonald’s near by which makes my life a whole lot easier. Their menu items also have variety and it’s affordable, because this momma’s on a budget!
