It Girl’s Don’t Gatekeep! | My ULTIMATE Guide to Clear Skin, Style, Beauty, Haircare, and More!

Welcome Back my GLAMOROUS IT GIRLS!! It this week’s girly blog post, I am spilling all the tea on beauty, fashion, and skincare products that have changed my life! By the way, many of these blogs are reused from my podcast! If you are interested in hearing the audio version of this blog click here!

Before we get into the episode, this episode was totally inspired by an episode of the Is this Aesthetic podcast with Isabella Lore, so I don’t claim that I made this idea because I got the inspo from her podcast.

First off, let’s start with our weekly segments!

Monday Motivation:

Keep School in its place! School tries to take over all the time! For me, I am in this newspaper club and there are LOTS of toxic kids in there. Most of them are just consumed by school! One of these girls in there just devote herself to the club it's literally all she does. She’s the definition of burnout. So, I do not want you to fall into that trap. You need to make a solid routine to keep things in its place. I have an episode on creating a solid morning routine if you are interested in creating a morning routine. I like to time block my time! So, if I do math from 1-2pm after 2pm I'm done with math for the day. If there is something else that needs to be done for math, it's going to have to wait till tomorrow at 1-2pm. KEEP SCHOOL IN ITS PLACE

Fashion icon of the week: Jadyn Hailey! Her Style is literally the cutest! Her colorful style in the summertime was literally the move! So hot! Also, her style in the fall and winter is so classy and neutral! She has inspired me in so many ways for style, haircare, goals, and just life in general!

Quote of the week: “If someone is copying you, you won.”- Vogue.

Featured Listener: Eda! She said, “I listened to some of your podcast and i loved it! I think it was the 5 productive things to add to ur daily routine one :)) Also, if that's you in the video ur so pretty!” Follow her on Pinterest @edaloveslana

Let’s get into this week’s girly blog!

Beauty!

Skincare: I literally never have breakouts because I keep my skincare routine so minimal. The key to clear skin is less is more! I only use 2 products on my skin. I use the Cetaphil Face wash and the Cetaphil Face Moisturizer. THATS IT! And ofc i wash my face daily in the shower with water to keep it hydrated. I would say my skin type is just fair skin. It's not too oily, not dry, its well-balanced! I have very sensitive skin so my skin will react like crazy is I try too many new things at once, so I recommend not using face masks every day. I barely use facemasks because of my sensitive skin. If I use them, it will only be once a week! I also use pimple patches in case a special event comes up and I need to get rid of a zit or a pimple. I never use them just when I am living my everyday life like going out to shop or to hang out with friends because again, less is more with skincare. Plus, it’s not that important to get rid of every little bump on your skin. It's totally normal and it's not that big of a deal. I also like to drink tons of water and clean drinks to decrease the chance of a breakout. I like to drink Coke, but I like to drink Sprite more because Coke can clog up your pores and break out your skin.

Additionally, I suggest to not pick or itch your face because even if it feels itchy DO NOT scratch it! It can be very tempting but don’t do it because every time that I have ever itched my face, a bump appears in that same spot so don’t do that.

Scents! So, I get most of my perfumes and body mists from Victoria Secret, Bath and Body Works, TJ Maxx, and Ross! I usually gravitate towards the PINK line at Victoria Secret because I like those scents better. I really like the Fresh and Clean scent and the Warm and Cozy! I use these all the time and totally recommend these mists! They are usually around $10 for the mini size but that's why I wait to buy them during sales! During sales you can usually get 2 mini sprays for $8 so I totally recommend waiting for sales! At Bath and Body Works my favorites are Warm Vanilla Sugar, Strawberry Poundcake, White Pumpkin Chai, and Wrapped in Vanilla! I love these ones because they have a light and sweet scent! Also, Bath and Body works has been having great sales recently! I’ve been able to get the big ones for $4.95 each and regular price is $19.99! I also recommend purchasing the same scent in spray, lotion, and body wash form. This will make you smell like a snack. Now, moving onto TJ Maxx and Ross! I usually get the Arianna Grande Sprays from here at a discounted price! I’ve gotten the Thank You Next, Moonlight, and a few of her other ones for only $7.99 each! I also love to get Juicy Couture Perfume from TJ Maxx! I recently got one that smells delish, and it was only $16.99!

Body Care:

For my body care I use brands like Dove or Bath and Body Works for my Body Wash! I love Vanilla scented body washes! I also like to use body scrubs and body creams from ulta! They are usually around $7-10 each but they last me a while! I only use them once a week for my self-care Sunday! I also like to get them from Target where they are actually a bit cheaper! They go for $7.99 there! For my lips, I like to use Aquaphor to really moisturize them and hydrate them!

Makeup:

I get most of my makeup from Ulta Beauty! I love to use the REM Beauty Mascara to level up my lashes. I also like to use Kylie Cosmetics High Glosses to gloss up my lips and moisturize them! I barely use any makeup because I like to keep it minimal and again, less is More with your skin. Also, since I really prioritize skincare, I don’t really have a need for foundation or concealer!

Haircare!

So, for my hair my hair stylist will give it a hydration treatment around every 2-3 weeks to keep it hydrated and looking nice! I naturally have soft and smooth hair, but I just like to give it everything that I can to make it nice! I have the hair type 4B so these products may not work for you. For the Shampoo I like to use Aussie Products! They smell so amazing and fruity! I also use the 3-minute conditioner to really lock in the moisture. Then, my hair stylist will straighten my hair!

Style:

My favorite store includes, forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Claires, Rue 21, Charlette Russe, Target, Depop, and a few other stores that I am probably forgetting. I really like to shop during sales so that I can spend my money wisely. At Forever 21, they are always having some sort of sale, so I always utilize that. I also love to get my jewelry from Claires for $2 each.

My style recently has been very streetwear-ish with a mix of classy. I have been loving it recently! I have been really wearing my Knee-High Boots, Blazers, Cargo Pants, Leather, Long Skirts, and Ugg boots! I have been really loving my leather jackets lately! If you do want to see some of my style, go check out my Pinterest! Pro tip for fashion lovers, i find most of my pieces when I go thrifting!! I find the cutest fur jackets, boots, and tops at goodwill, local thrift stores, and on secondhand sites like Depop and Poshmark.
