Blemish Control : Tea Tree Oil

October 8, 2014 2 Comments

Trader Joe’s Tea Tree Oil

Hi lover! Since high school I have always had small break outs on my face. Now that I’m a little older I don’t get as many blemishes, but they still visit. All the acne spot treatments I have used (both drugstore and high end brands), have had no effect on reducing the size or appearance of the blemish.

About 3 months ago I read some of the benefits of tea tree oil for skincare and acne, which led me to purchase this little bottle at Trader Joe’s. After buying it, I was hesitant to use it, in case I had any negative side effects. Fast forward to a month ago, I had one serious blemish and my boyfriend mentioned how his little brother had just told him about the best cure for his acne spots (thanks Matt!!!!). He started telling me about Tea Tree Oil from Trader Joe’s and immediately I pulled mine out and decided to give it a try.

The way I use this product is by dipping (only once) one end of the q-tip into the bottle and then gently dab it on the troubled spot. By doing this twice a day (morning and evening) the blemish is completely gone within 2 days! This is magical for me 🙂

I really suggest you research the benefits and possible side effects of using Tea Tree Oil and let me know if this works for you. I have loved the results that I have seen and thankfully this inexpensive bottle will last me a long time. Thanks for reading!

Office Chic

Hi lovey! Today I decided to mix two elements I wouldn’t normally pair together: office wear + casual chic. The shoes and jacket are ones I usually only wear to my office job, however when I combined them with a plain, black tank and skinny jeans, I got this cute number. These heels are very different from any other pair I own. They remind me of loafers I used to be forced (by the school code) to wear to grade school. Funny side note about the shoes: I saw them while shopping with my mom at Nordstrom Rack and I really liked them, but I was not convinced about buying them. After leaving the store I couldn’t stop thinking about them, so my mom and I went back to get them, haha.

I wore this to run errands over the weekend and since everywhere I went had air conditioning, the light jacket was not an issue. The heat in Miami midday would not permit this jacket for the outdoors! I hope you have a wonderful day. 🙂

100th Post!

Outfit Details: Shirt- Forever 21, Skirt- H&M, Clutch- Tory Burch, Shoes- Charles Jourdan, Watch Michael Kors

Hey lover!! It’s a magical day today, especially since this happens to be my 100th post. 🙂 My blogging journey has been a total adventure and I am so grateful for having this as a creative outlet. Today may be a small milestone, however I totally live for all those.

I wore this outfit to dinner with my boyfriend this past weekend. We went to Barley & Swine, which happens to serve the BEST croquettas in town! Aside from the food, I loved wearing this top (always makes me reminisce of Paris), the flirty skirt and my favorite black heels. One day soon I will write a “Love Shoes” series on them, but basically this is the closest my budget allows to my dream Louboutin’s. 🙂

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I wish you the greatest week!

Old School

Outfit Details: Shirt & Hat- Target, Jeans- Goodwill, Shoes- Forever 21, Purse- Louis Vuitton, Bracelets- The Limited

Happy Friday lovey! I’m taking it old school with these super high waisted jeans. I haven’t seen a pair with this feel, cut, and waistline in a while, but in Goodwill you can really find some vintage treasures. I only got to wear this cute outfit for a short period last weekend, so I have a feeling it will be repeated very soon.

Tonight I am going to a happy hour and then dinner with my boyfriend and his family. I really love how his parents and rest of the family are eager to do fun things with us, like happy hour. 🙂 Then on Saturday I will celebrate my best friend, Kelci’s sisters’ birthday (she has technically become my older sister as well hehe). I’m pretty excited for all the celebrations! What are your plans for the weekend?

Happy Birthday, best friend!

Hi lover! Today’s post is dedicated to my best friend Kelci. She too has an amazing lifestyle blog, that I am sure you will enjoy checking out. Kelci and I met when we were just 15, making our friendship one of 8 years now! We met through our ex-boyfriends (ha!) and at that time shared all the same friends. It was super fun times and we only hung out while we were in a big group.

Fortunately, Kelci and I began talking more and decided to was time to take our friendship to the next level. We began having girl dates and sure enough became best friends instantly. I believe it was my 17th birthday that Kelci hosted her first “best friend birthday bash” for me and it was Hello Kitty themed. Since then I have been lucky enough to celebrate all birthdays with Kelci by my side.

We have grown so much since we first met. We have seen each other go through extremely difficult times, as well as amazingly happy times! The greatest gift Kelci has given me is always being the best listener. Having a friend you can trust with anything is a huge blessing. If you haven’t noticed by now, Kelci is more than a best friend, she has become a sister to me!

I know life will take us to unexpected places and I can’t wait to grow old together, Kels! I love you forever beautiful.
