BENEFITS OF ROSEWATER

Heritage Store Rosewater
By | beauty | No Comments

Around the holidays last year, our neighbor gave us some jam she made using rosewater and told us about some of the benefits of rosewater. It got me super interested in learning more about it, and since then, I’ve been incorporating rosewater into my beauty routine. It is AMAZING for your skin! It moisturizes skin to help keep it hydrated, it helps reduce redness from irritated skin, clears pores, helps with fine lines and wrinkles, the smell is a mood booster, and so much more!

I remember when Hazel was just a few hours old and my father-in-law looked at me and said “you look tired”. I wanted to reply “Duh! I only got two hours of sleep last night because I just had a baby!” But instead I just smiled and said “Do I? I feel pretty good.” Two years, plus another baby later, and I’m officially tired. Ha! Or at least that’s what my under eyes would tell you. I’ve gotten pretty used to less sleep, so I don’t feel super tired, but these dark circles under my

GREAT HAIR DAY: #PANTENE14DAYCHALLENGE

pantene 14 day hair challenge
By | beauty | No Comments

“You always want what you can’t have.” That is so true when it comes to hair. People with fine, silky hair want volume, people with curly hair want smoother, less frizzy hair, etc. In my case, I have thick, coarse hair, and I want more shine. My biggest hair struggle is that my hair gets very dry and dull (especially on the ends). I use a lot of heat on my hair which causes hair damage. It makes my hair

If I’m being completely honest, this makeup routine probably takes me more like 7 minutes, but 5 minutes is a better title. Haha! Before becoming a mom, I used to take a lot longer to get ready, but now, I barely have enough time, so I’ve had to take some steps out of my routine (no more fancy eyeshadow) and find little tricks to make applying my makeup faster. Like using the

I give Hazel about 967,267,358 kisses a day, and my lipstick used to always rub off on her cheeks. And not only that, but Hazel also likes to grab my lips which makes my lipstick smear all over my face and ruin my makeup. So I would
