My Essential Bling

I'm sure you all know that this girl loves her bling.

If the name of my blog hasn't clued you in, then this is me exclaiming "bring on the bling!"

In my mind, an outfit isn't complete until you accessorize it.

I'm talking about watches, rings, earrings, necklaces, you name it!

Here's a list of this glitzy girl's favorite sparkly staples.

...

Watches

I remember making my first "big" purchase when I found a full time job. 

It seems like eons ago that I walked into the watch store and purchased a watch from my favorite designer, Michael Kors.

 Since then, I swear I've only taken the watch off to sleep and shower! 

If you don't like bracelets banging together I'd highly suggest a quality timepiece!

Bracelets

I'll admit I'm not big on bracelets, but when I am in the mood I break out my Mantra Bands! 

I've also been eyeing the stack trend that has been making a comeback!
I've been stalking Arm Candy on Instagram and will probably make a purchase soon. 

I'll keep you guys updated!

Necklaces

While I have a hoard of necklaces, I still have my top two picks! 

One of them being my gold medallion from Bird Bee. 

The other being my brand new "Elisa Gold Pendant" that I haven't taken off since I took it home from Kendra Scott! 

Earrings

I probably have more earrings than I could count, but I'm totally okay with that. 

While I've bought my earrings from all over, some of my best buys have been from SHEIN, Ashley Gold, and now Kendra Scott. 

If you're looking for trendy and cheap, you can grab oodles of earrings on SHEIN for $4 and under. 

If you're searching for impressive and expressive, Ashley Gold will hook you up! 

If you love a high-quality brand name, then Kendra Scott has the styles for you!

Rings

I used to hate wearing rings before my fiance "put a ring on it" and started a ring obsession! 

Aside from my engagement ring, promise ring, and Mother's promise ring, I have a fourth staple I wanted to share. 

My gorgeous hand-wired rings from Hannah Rose Jewelry. 

Not only does she use gorgeous gemstones, but she's also a fellow Michigan babe!

My Skincare Routine

For years, if there was an issue with my skin I would be the first to freak out and desperately search the internet for the "magic cure".

...

While I still haven't found the solution to so-called "perfect skin", I have found a routine that works for me.

Thank goodness all those years of being my own guinea pig are over.

All hail beauty bloggers and their wonderful advice!

...

So why am I hording my skincare secrets all to myself??

Keep reading, and all shall be revealed!

 ...

Vitamin E

I use a bit of Derma E Vitamin E Skin Oil on a cotton round to remove my eye makeup and lipstick every night.

These sensitive areas need something soothing and rejuvenating like good 'ol Vitamin E!

After you're finished, apply just a bit under your eyes to keep those under eye circles at bay!

Apple Cider Vinegar

While I already take a tsp. of this in my tea every morning, and a couple of ACV Goli Gummies every day (because beauty starts from the inside out), I also use it topically!

I'm telling you, this stuff is my holy grail of health.

Every night after washing my face with water, I use a cotton round soaked with half water and half Bragg Organic Raw ACV to remove the rest of my makeup.

It also works as a great astringent to balance your skin's natural moisture!

Benzoyl Peroxide Cream

I apply a little CVS Benzoyl Peroxide Cream at night when I have little problems pop up. 

Typically by the next morning they are either gone or close to gone!

Buh bye little buggers!

*Side Note: I only apply this to the actual acne spots, because it can be quite drying.*

My Magic Mask

I've been applying masks on a weekly basis long before the face mask craze began! 

I'm super thankful I found my magic formula before "charcoal this", "cucumber that", or "real gold this" flooded the market with a million different masks to try!

My secret?

Half Green Health Kaolin Clay and half Better Body Foods Cocoa Powder mixed with a tsp of freshly brewed Uncle Lee's Organic Green Tea.

Whip that baby up, apply, and remove once hard and dry!

Your face will feel like a baby's bottom.

Lip Balm

I always begin and end my day with a few swipes of Just Bee Cosmetics "Cool" Lip Balm! 

It quickly restores my lips to their natural softness, and heals any dry spots or cracks.

This minty fresh balm doesn't just smell good, it's also 100% natural, and bee-friendly!

My Daily Health Essentials

Last week I had an epiphany.

...

While I'm constantly posting about the "hot" or "new" things that I'm into at the time, I realized I don't really post about my staples!

You know, the things that I use every gosh darn day.

The products that I truly trust, and will drive 30 mins out of the way to buy or pay $10 to ship next day.

Desperate times call for desperate measures...

...

So I've decided to start creating blogs to showcase my staples.

Without further ado, here is my first theme:

My Daily Health Favorites

...

If you didn't already know, I'm a health freak.

I'm that girl who spends oodles on groceries just to get all organic.

Why?

My body is literally my home and sanctuary.

You only get one body, and it should always feel great and be treated with respect!

Plus, I want to live to the ripe age of 100.

So here are the things that I swear by, and have contributed to a healthy and happy me!

...

Green Tea

Rather than coffee, I drink Uncle Lee's Tea Organic Green Tea every morning.

It gets my brain going with a healthy natural boost that doesn't come with the post-caffeine jitters.

It's an awesome antioxidant for your immune system, attributes to healthy glowing skin, and burns fat like crazy!

*Side Note: Sips by also sends a box of super beneficial teas to your door every month!* 

Apple Cider Vinegar

I put a shot of Bragg Organic Raw ACV in my daily green tea.

It helps me to feel energized and ready for the day.

It also combats migraines, digestion issues, and contains a crap ton of antioxidants.

Not only that, but it kicks your metabolism into gear, aiding in weight loss!

Wild Yam Root

TMI Warning.

I've always had super painful periods and whack acne that comes with it.

Until I started taking Solaray Wild Yam Capsules each morning.

Its antispasmodic properties provide serious relief from the impending cramps and mood swings, and prevents those little surprises that love to pop up on my face!

Magnesium

I take one Nature's Answer Aquarium Plant Based Magnesium Capsule in the morning.
Magnesium is an essential mineral responsible for over 300 chemical reactions in your body.
Holy smokes.
It creates better energy, sleep, muscle function, hormone balance, and so much more!

Kombucha

I drink half a bottle of GT's Kombucha every afternoon.

It's loaded with probiotics that promote healthy gut bacteria, which controls everything from your immune system to weight, energy, mood, digestion, and skin appearance!

I truly feel like a different person after I've had my "booch"!
