Dry Skin Care

The weather here has been all over the place. One day it's super cold and the next it's super warm. Crazy weather mixed with naturally dry skin has become a huge issue for me. I've been noticing that I have to reapply my moisturizer many times throughout the day, which is pretty frustrating. I've been doing everything that I can to keep my skin protected and moisturized, which includes using super rich skin care products. 

My top dry skin care products are:

Lemon Lip Creme

Soap and Glory Hand Food

Philosophy Hope in a Jar

Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion


How do you deal with dry skin?

A little slow...

I'd like to apologize for things being super slow around The Preppy Scientist. As I type this, I am sitting in front of a pile of papers begging to be filed and put away. I proclaim today to be an official break until tomorrow. 

All my best.

Tumblr Fave

I recently came across the What I Wore blog by Jessica Quirk and it's pretty fantastic. I love how well she puts her outfits together and the attention to detail she has! I could honestly spend hours looking through her blog, drooling over the amazing outfits! Check out some recent favourites:

My Favourite Magazines!

I have an obsession with magazines. I cannot leave a grocery or convenience store without picking one up. There seems to be a few magazines that I always gravitate to when I'm shopping around, so naturally I've classified them as my favourites!

Vogue - When I'm feeling glamorous 

Seventeen - When I'm feeling fun

Lucky - W'hen I need inspiration

Canadian Living - When I feel like a grown up

Marths Stewart Living - When I want to plan for the future

What are your favourite magazines?

Just Say Yes!

Sometimes having such a busy schedule doesn't allow me to have very much fun. I resolved this year to be more open to friendships in my life - and I've found that just saying yes to spending time with other people is a huge step. I am guilty of finding every excuse to say no when I am invited out somewhere. But lately, I have been put in a position where I need to say yes and need to be more social. 

Because I am someone who tries to stay true to her word, simply saying yes means that I can't back out of an event! It's been so nice getting to know new people and opening myself up to new experiences! I really hope to stick to this resolution and can't wait to see what fun things lay ahead! 

I hope you are keeping up with your resolutions!

My Mantra

Food for thought

Pinto

I've really been liking the new 2013 Sarah Pinto planners! I think they are a little more grown up than the Lilly planners and there is more space to write!

Rugby

Spotted

Zebra

All available at Sarah Pinto!

Hey it's Okay!

1. To pretend you didn't receive a text message

2. To listen to the same Taylor Swift song 30 times in a row

3. To use an obnoxious amount of hash-tags in a single tweet

4. To buy more than one dress for a single event

5. To enjoy being the worst dancer at your dance class

6. To buy MORE stationery 

7. To count tea as a meal 

8. To watch 2 seasons of a show in 2 days

9. To go to bed at 7 pm 

10. To pluck those grey hairs, so nobody finds out about them

GlitzyGlam

I really love watching YouTube makeup videos even though I hardly wear any makeup. I watch a lot of 'Elle and Blair Fowler' videos and I always hear them talking about their shop GlitzyGlam, so I decided to check it out. They have a lot of cute items in the online store and almost everything can be personalized/monogrammed! 

I just placed an order with Glitzy Glam and here are some personal favourites:

Pad holder

Chevron keychain

Spa wraps

Monogrammed tumbler 

All available on Glitzy Glam

Spring

With higher than normal temperatures here in Windsor - I have Spring on my mind. I love the thought of having fresh flowers throughout the apartment! 

I can't wait!
