OE

Truly I do not know what I love more about Oxford Exchange.. it is either the dreamy checkerboard tiles or the greenery that lingers through the walls or even the captivating smell of books, coffee, tea and goodies that are mixed all into one. If you are ever in Tampa please take the time to stop by and enjoy the lovely atmosphere and if you feel up to it.. buy yourself a London fog and I promise you that your day will be brighter! I cannot take full credit for these photos because I was so overwhelmed with the beauty of the place that I just took photos with my iPhone for intsagram (click here to see the picture I posted) and my boyfriend went crazy with my camera.. thank goodness! 

Hope you enjoyed my little adventure!

Skin Care Routine

Hello again! As promised I am going to reveal my skin care routine. These products work for me and I encourage you to give them a try! The prices on the products do vary but they are beyond worth it! I Make up is great but what good is it if we don't take care of the canvas (our face). Take care of your face! One day you'll truly be happy you did. 

Rules I run by.. 

Never sleep with your make up on

Always use a cleanser 

Moisturize face once in the morning & once at night 

Drink Lots of water! (cleanses body and minimizes impurities) 

For my every day routine, I use Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash. First of all I must say that I love Origins and all of their products! Just the thought of natural products that really work makes me happy!

Use this product in the morning and at night! 

After cleansing,  I always use a moisturizer. My all time favorite moisturizer lately has been

  Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Bright with SPF 30. All it took was one use and I fell in love. Moisturizers should have SPF! This protects your skin from the harsh sun!

This next product I just stated to use because my mother gave me a little lesson on how to age gracefully. My mother has beautiful eyes and she started to use eye creme at the age of 20 to minimize wrinkles as she grew older. I purchased this Elizabeth Arden Eye Cream at T.j. Maxx for a reasonable price and I love the moisture it provides for my eyes! 

The last thing I moisturize is my lips. Some people just put cream on their lips, but I love this Rosebud Salve Lip Balm! My lips always feel extremely soft.

To remove make up I use make up remover wipes because its fast and easy! Any brand is typically good when it comes to this stuff.

Lastly, 1-2 times a week I use the Modern Friction Exfoliator  followed by the Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask. This is probably my favorite step of the week simply because the exfoliator and mask leave my pores incredibly smooth and clear! You must try it!!! :) 

I Hope you enjoyed my little skin care routine! If you have any questions feel free to email Scarletlipsblog@gmail.com or leave me a comment below! 

P.S. Heres a helpful tip.. If you wanna know the ideal amount of water you should drink take your body weight divide that by two and drink whatever number you got in ounces! Buying a huge water bottle will help you keep track!

Flats/ H&M Jeans/ H&M Hat/ Target Tee/T.J. Maxx bag/ H&M

My favorite jeans make an appearence once again on Scarlet Lips. I cannot completely explain my love for them. Just making a quick stop to assure you all that my heart is still beating. My schedule is madly complicated and my time is limited, yet I am here once again. Lately I've dressed down my look and just relied on being comfortable. Not sure if this is a season or just a shift in style. Who knows! :) 

Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

Mount Dora

Jeans/ H&M Boots/ Urban Outfitters Bag/ Aldo jacket/ Gap 

Last week I visited Mount Dora and did a bit of exploring. It truly is such a lovely town filled with coffee shops and cute little antique spots! Will be back soon :)

This look really describes my everyday style. I have been squeezing the life out of my boyfriend jeans and wearing Chelsea boots like its my job.

 Hope you are having a wonderful week!

Caught off guard.. haha

Lately..

To be quite honest, I have a heavy obsession with Winter Park. Usually my weekends are spent wandering around Park Ave discovering new places to eat and hang around. A couple weeks ago I discovered the Winter Park Farmers Market. It is the most loveliest market filled with flowers, lemonade, vegetables and all kinds of goodies. If you live in florida or ever visit, you must check it out! 

Anywho, I am still getting use to this new schedule..and I will be posting as often as possible. Some weeks will be more than others, but I will always update you all! 

Hope you are loving this semester!

One of my goals for the new year is to become healthy. I mean, my family typically makes healthy food during the week, but I want to make sure the products I use for my hair, skin and consumption are organic and promote overall health.. not just weight lost. So far, I have been committed to this goal and have already started to see positive results! 

All this to say that my skin has been incredibly clear and that I have had lots of energy! What are your goals for the new year? 

Change always starts with a decision! Make a positive choice for change this week and stick to it! :)

P.S. More beauty/ skin care post coming soon!
