Of course not. Regular Girl is a synbiotic blend of clinically proven prebiotic fiber and probiotics that help maintain a healthy digestive balance for women, men and children.*


My Thoughts

I've only been using Regular Girl for about a week, but I noticed a positive difference in my digestive health. Since I drink a lot of water anyway, I decided that I'm going to be adding the packets to my water. I've also added this to my cereal throughout the week. The packets dissolve well, there's no residue, and there's no aftertaste.

Regularity hasn't been too much of an issue throughout my life, but I do like the idea of a prebiotic fiber and probiotics to maintain regularity and a healthy digestive balance. I also like that even though the name states Regular Girl, that women, men, and children can take this product.

Regular Girl also sent a discount code regularfriend to recieve 10% off at checkout

Hello Everyone!


I mentioned in my last post that January has been a little busy for me. I've been fulfilling custom crochet orders and everything else in between. Let's recap on the month!
Selfies


I took this last month, but I forgot to show it. I also made that long infinity scarf last month as well.

Hello Yellow


Healthy skin is happy skin!


No makeup selfie


I haven't taken many makeup selies this month, but I plan on showing some makeup looks next month. 

Food


Cold weather and chicken pot pie


Birthday Dinner for my mama. Homeade Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, and cornbread.




I love homemade baked mac and cheese, but sometimes I just want Boxed Kraft Mac and Cheese.

Pizza Night


I guess my favorite fruit this month has been navel oranges. They're so good!


More oranges

Happy Birthday Mama


Strawberry Cheesecake is one of my Mama's favorite desserts

Custom Crochet

Hello Everyone!


Today I wanted to do a quick update post. I've been a little M.I.A. this past week since I've been doing a few custom crochet orders. I'm currently still completing orders, but I was able to work on some new blog posts this weekend. Those posts are coming in Febraury :) Here's a few of the crochet projects. 


Popcorn Stitch Crochet Beanie. Does the hat look familiar? I made this style of hat last Summer.



I added a pom pom to the hat and made a popcorn stitch scarf to match



Finished product


More supplies to start another crochet project for other customers. After I finish these next orders. I plan on working on my other crafts to sell.

Dry Skincare Routine: Body Edition

Hello Everyone!


Happy MLK Day! Today I wanted to follow up my Dry Skincare Routine Face Edition with a post for my dry skincare routine for my body care. Side Note: This skincare routine is also good to use to prevent and maintain moisturized skin. 

Exfoliation!



Even though the weather is colder, that's not an excuse to neglect exfoliating lol. I try to exfoliate my skin with a loofah and a body scrub at least twice a week. I noticed exfoliating on a regular basis actually helps with preventing dry skin.

Body Butter




There's nothing better than a good body butter to get soft mositurized skin. I love that most body butters are thick in texture. I like to use body butters at night.

Body Creams


If I'm not using a body butter, I'll use a body cream. These are also thick in texture and help provide moisturized skin. BABW Magic in the Air and Honolulu Sun are two of my favorite body creams.

Eczema Relief


I've stated on my blog that I have issues with slight eczema on my elbows. It's not that bad, but I do keep my elbows moisturized. Dryness is the only issues I have with eczema. Hydration is key. Cocoa butter usually helps with hydration.



Soft Feet




I keep my feet soft by using a foot file, cocoa butter, and socks. It's simple as that. When I take my bath or shower at night I'll file my feet, and use a generous amount of cocoa butter, and put on a pair of socks. I don't really like to sleep with socks on, but sometimes I'll wear socks to bed and my feet feel so soft in the morning.

Also check out my post from last month for more dry skin products that I'm currently using.

Dry Skincare Routine: Face Edition

Hello Everyone!


The weather here in South Carolina was VERY cold week before last (and the cold weather has returned), and if you're anything like me your skin might feel a little dry. The other day I went to rub my eyes and I realized my skin felt so dry! I don't have dry skin that often, but when I do this is the skincare routine and skincare products that I use. I was undecided if I was going to do a morning or night skincare rohtine, so I went with doing both! Side Note: This skincare routine and skincare products are also good to use to prevent and maintain moisturized skin. 

Facial Cleansing


I always cleanse my face in the morning and at night. The products shown above are some of my go to cleasnsers I use at night. The cleansing balm is great for removing makeup and the cleansing oil is great for moisturizing my face.

Use a Clean Washcloth


I use a clean washcloth to rinse off my face.  You should use a clean washcloth to wash your face because a dirty washcloth harbors bacteria.


Use a Gentle Face Exfoliator/ Gentle Face Mask




I haven't come across any harsh feeling exfoliators for my face, but using a soft face exfoliator helps keep my face feeling smooth. If use the charcoal mask twice week then, I'll skip the facial scrub or vice versa.


Face Cream and/or Face Oil



I typically use a face cream before I go to bed to keep my face moisturized throughout the night.  I like to use a face oil during the morning to keep my face moisturized during the day.


Lip Care



Whether my lips feel dry or not, I always try to use a lip balm before I go to bed.  I use different balms,  but my SoftLips Blueberry Pomegranate is my favoirte lip balm. It's so hydrating!

Also check out  my post from last month for more hydrating skincare products that I'm currently using in my skincare routine.
