you have to go to BLOCK ISLAND...it's a dream.....





































we had such a great time on block island. it's about an hour ferry ride from the coast of R.I. the day we left my body decided to get sick and chris and i couldn't fall asleep til 3 am, however that wasn't going to stop us from getting to this island that people raved about. we had to go! {oh and the fact we couldn't get a refund on our hotel, ha ha} Wednesday wasn't the warmest day. it was gloomy and raining and kinda cold! we thought oh boy....i hope Thursday is better.


we made the best of Wednesday. walking along the beach and checking out the little shops. i took a nap while chris explored much of the island. we had a great dinner and fell asleep to the ocean waves....oh heaven!


Thursday.......was amazing!!!!!! the sky was blue the ocean was perfect. the birds were chirping, i was feeling better.....and the SUN was shining! we had breakfast, got on our bikes and took advantage of this beautiful day.......

SKINCARE

i thought i would blog today about one of my favorite subjects......SKINCARE.
if i had it my way i would be an esthetician and own my own salon. i am dreaming of that day to come.....
since I've been pregnant i have been able to experience all the fun that happens to skin or maybe just my skin. in my first trimester my skin was good....not great, then it got not so good....then it got bad. i don't think it helped that i moved from UT to CT and the climates are completely different. {Oh and by the way i love the weather in CT way more. it's great for my skin!}
so i have been trying some different things that have made a HUGE difference in my skin.
i thought i would share....and also write it down so i wouldn't forget.....i tend to do that lately.
i purchased a pregnant friendly product and i l-o-v-e it! it's called is clinical. i use it religiously! but not too much cause it may cause flaking. it's a bit pricey $120, however it's in droplet form so it latest along time.{like 4 months or more}
it has evened out my skin tone, like no more red, and stopped my break outs! i recommend it!
next my all time favorite thing to do is YOGURT masks!!! i mean they are fabulous! and its super cheap! just plain yogurt.
and last i am experimenting with making my own products. i love this because i know exactly what i am washing with and globing all over my face. i bought this book Natural Beauty at Home and i fell in love. the book has recipes and once you buy all the stuff it's pretty cheap.
well that's all i have for now........i want your secrets if you would like to share!
