3 beauty products I love

1  johnson's baby oil
2  l'oréal paris pore minimizing gel cleanser
3  l'oréal paris translucide naturally luminous loose powder

1  Just shaved your legs? Turn off the shower, but don't towel off just yet! Reach for that baby oil and massage a few drops into your legs for a smooth, silky shine. I've found that baby oil moisturizes my skin more effectively than lotion, and a little goes a long way.

2  Have oily skin like me? Instead of washing your face with the same, acne-fighting product twice per day, try reaching for this gentle cleanser in the mornings. I love the fragrance, and it gives my skin a break from the salicylic acid found in my evening scrub.

3  For years, I finished my makeup routine by dabbing my face with inexpensive, pressed powder. It was usually a shade too dark, and it always crumbled and cracked inside its plastic shell! Sometime last year, I decided to try applying this loose powder with a brush. Love it! The coverage is lightweight and natural-looking, and it keeps that oily shine to a minimum.

Hair

Remember when I cut my hair in October? I am growing it back out, and I'm trying to do it the right way. So, I've been conditioning it well, avoiding the blow dryer when I can, and getting a trim every 10-12 weeks.

Look at how long it used to be! This was taken on our honeymoon last year. I miss you, hair.

Yesterday, I came home from my trim at the salon and had this conversation with Josh. (I was really happy with how my bangs and layers looked!)

"Do you like my haircut?  You probably can't tell the difference, but I can!"
"Yeah, I can!"
"Really?!  I'm so impressed!  Yay!"
"Yeah, it's really, really smooth and less frizzy.  It looks nice!"
..........

"Less frizzy." He meant well. (Why are you so expensive, Moroccan oil? Apparently, I need you in my life.)

The Wife Chop!

I have had long hair for over five years.

Today, all that changed.

Ta-daaaa!
