I have been traveling a lot more recently and I have discovered that if it doesn’t fit in a carry on, most likely I don’t need to bring it.  Everything needs to be minature.  If I am staying at a nice hotel then sometimes they have top shelf beauty goodies so I don’t even need to pack anything.  However,  if I am going to a hotel and I’m not sure of the items that will be in the bathroom…then I come armed with the Blisslabs Face Value Travel Essentials.

When the weather gets warmer, I like to use products that feel lighter weight.  My skin feels better for it, my new fave is from Lisa Hoffman Skincare. She makes a fabulous Vitamin A & C Serum.
This serum feels SO light but don’t let that fool you because it is actually a heavy duty formula.  The formula is water-free and has large doses of Vitamins A and C to provide anti-oxidant protection to maintain skin tone and provide firming action.  It absorbs into the skin QUICKLY…which is a huge plus and your skin is ready for your moisturizer.

Even though the temperatures are falling where I live, it is still important to wear a sunblock every day. And here is something I tend to forget. You are supposed to apply it 15 minutes before you go outside. I tend to remember just before I go out the door. And for you skiers and snowboarders… you really have to pay attention to your sunblock application because of the altitude.

And if you get into the habit of …read more
