Youth to the People Superfood Cleanser Review 🥦🥬🍵

YTTP Kale + Green tea + spinach + vitamins superfood cleanser
• • • • •

Happy Tuesday sparkly babes! ✨✨✨🦄🦄 Today’s post is a nice review of Youth to the People superfood cleanser I received as one of my perks from Ipsy.💗

This gel cleanser is packed full of superfoods that are amazing for your skin! It also smells light and fresh, which I have found the cleansers with the lightest scents work the best! None of those harsh perfumes to clog your pores!

The website writes; “Our powerful, but gentle daily face wash is formulated with cold-pressed antioxidants – kale, spinach, and green tea – to give your skin the ultimate cleanse.” And is $36 for the full 8oz size bottle. But hey you gotta pay for good ingredients, right? A little goes a long way, might I add and it only takes a couple pumps to lather up and get your skin squeaky clean!

There are so many claims and benefits to using this type of antioxidant cleanser. And they include but are not limited to:

Benefits:

Kale: This leafy veg is a must-have for more than just your morning juice. It’s rich in skin-loving phytonutrients and vitamins C, E and K.

Spinach: A lightweight skin-soother that boasts a high natural moisture content and cooling properties.

Green Tea: An anti-inflammatory oil packed with essential fatty acids.

And also YTTP claims their products are:

Claims:

100% Vegan ingredients

Cold-pressed extracts

Recyclable packaging

Made in USA

No animal testing

No parabens

No phthalates

No sulfates

… but for real, it is worth it! A miracle cleanser and allure beauty award winner, also won the beauty innovator awards from refinery 29 you can’t go wrong with something this amazing!

Special thanks to Ipsy for gifting me this cleanser in return I had a few friends sign up for the subscription and you can too! Just download the ipsy app and go from there!

Have a great and wonderful day beauties!

Love always xx

May Dreams!🤍

Hello, it’s me again… long time, no chat but I’m here!!! Happy Monday, So I have some things to write about; my May dreams! (Dreams being goals!) If you want to know more, just keep on reading..

The sky is bright blue today and the sun is shining. What’s not to love?

Although there is no beach in New Mexico, it definitely is gorg outside so I decided to come to you in blog form to share & and wish you well, sending lots of love, rainbows, sunshine & unicorns 🦄

I’m also avoiding house cleaning. 😭

Whilst sipping on my morning brew ☕️ A coffee latte, to be exact, I’m just relaxing on the couch, browsing thru the latest allure mag & trying to form a mental calendar of things I’d like to get done or at least attempt this coming month. (& stuff I’ve done..) So far in May my list is:

-clean the unavoidable house from top to bottom

-gearing up for summer with faithy and my fam

-try to film a few beauty hauls for once

-get to poke poke and have a fresh poke bowl as soon as dine in is allowed

-plan a fantastic bday celebration for hubs

-receiving my conspiracy palette, finally!

-tried out the Hard Candy glamoflauge foundation, it’s bomb

-started watching This Is Us & it’s an emotional roller-coaster

-trying to intake more H2O, fruit, yoga, etc

-Rain is still trying to nurse & she’ll be TWO in July. Time to stop.

-had a lavender London fog and it was just as good as I remembered.

-have re-found my love for cross-stitch again and have been doing that off & on

-daydreamed of beaches and paradise

////……///////………////////…………./////////…….////////

So what are your May Dreams?! 🤍

I recommend….

This week treat yourself to moments of pure bliss. Either by sipping on tea, or coffee, or wine, for that matter. Start a 2020 vision board, take lots of naps, pray tons, and really sink into some peace with the Lord!

Nightly Relaxation Routine

My Nightly Routine!

Hey, hey beauties & the unicorn fam! I’m back! I’m sorry I’m not as consistent as I’d like to be but I’m trying. 🙏

With that being said I wanted to change things up a bit and do a post about my night routine. What I enjoy doing to help me wind down from the days adventures for a good nights rest!

Everyone has their routines and what works for them, mine are not too crazy! I like to use the simple things: lavender oil, bubble baths, glass of wine, etc! 😍 Also the most important thing that helps me is when I spend time with our Heavenly Father. I put on Kari Jobe radio and I try to write in my prayer book. Writing your thoughts and prayers down for the night gets everything out and you can see it on paper! I also keep my Bible app open during this time in case a verse speaks to me and I need to read more.

•Let God take over at this point!

👇

There’s nothing like a warm bubble bath to soak your tired bones from the day in! Start with your favorite kind of bubbles and add some lavender oil + Epsom salts for relaxation & detox! I also like to keep a stack of magazines near the tub and a glass of wine! Speaking of wine, I like to have one glass before bed- it relaxes me and is good for your heart and so much more!!

I spend about 45 mins or less in the tub each night I can before bed, looking at all the latest fashion trends plus reading up on some good articles eases away the anxieties and stresses of the day!

👆

•Young Living is my fav and go-to brand!

After the bath is when I lotion up real good and comb my hair. I spend this time making sure my skin is fully hydrated after that hot bath! You can also use coconut oil if you prefer a deeper moisturizing product! I also use my night serum and moisturizer on my face, pop on my sleep mask and jump into a comfy night gown or shorts with a cami.

•These are a few of my fav nighttime serums 👇

I love my bed!!!!!

Crawling into bed has to be my most favorite moment of each day. My bed is my happy place! But before I do I like to drink a cuppa and also a glass of water. Hydrating your insides is more important than the outside. I like to a chamomile or sleepy time tea. You can even do a decaf coffee or hot cocoa to warm your tummy! But always make sure to have your glass of water if you’ve soaked in the hot detox bath plus glass of wine! Make sure to do this. It’s very important to flush out impurities and hydrate again!

Now it’s time to get into bed and cozy up!!!

I put on Kari Jobe or Jesus Culture radio on my Pandora very low and it helps lull me into sleep! I write everything I can think of- from worries to praises in my journal and pray before drifting off into La-La land 😴

Turn off the lamp and tv for a good nights rest! Our melatonin activates better in darkness! Which is why they always suggest those blackout curtains for babies.

And I don’t know about you but sleeping like a baby (or a husband lol,) is the goal!

And I also like to recite a verse or two out loud along with HIS name to speak positivity over myself and my family.

I hope you all enjoyed my nightly routine post and I hope you are also having a lovely Christmas season! Remember that giving is more fulfilling than receiving! Even the smallest of gifts shows thoughtfulness and care.

•Winter Wonderland Dreams👇

Talk to you beauties soon! ✌️

Merry Christmas and have a happy new year, sparkling unicorns! 🦄✨

Ciao Bella,

GO WILD this SZN for ANIMAL PRINT, y’all.

It’s animal print szn! Babe, if you aren’t wearing animal print this szn… WYD?

Hello beauties! I know it’s been a minute since I’ve blogged but I wanted to say that I’ve missed you all SO MUCH! It’s not been easy sticking to a bloggers schedule with my little miss unicorn princess! 🦄💜 Oh did I mention, I have a newborn baby now? If I didn’t, we welcomed home Baby Rain on July 1! She’s now 4 months old, and the sweetest-most-kickiest (if that’s a word lol) feisty little babe I’ve ever seen! We are so in love!

Anywho-

But back to the blog, I came today to say my favorite color for this season is LEOPARD!

See below 👇👇👇

You can keep things subtle and just throw in pops of leopard print here and there with some basic items! Add a jacket or boots, skirt or leggings to your wardrobe that day for a stylish, minimalistic look. I like to think of my leopard as a neural so it blends well with the same color scheme; blacks, browns, whites, (keeping it monochrome) & even some reds and olive greens for that wow factor!

-Or- simply go ALL OUT in a full animal print suit!

I’m also a huge fan of anything animal- eg: snake skin, cow and tiger print. Be daring and have some fun. I love how Kylie has paired these boots with a simple crop top & cut-offs! I’m also L I V I N G for Kendall’s red velour animal print pants! 😍

You just can’t go wrong with this print- day or night!

What ya waiting for? Make a statement hunny.

Xoxo,

Amelia

Electric Brush Cleaner

Hello dolls! I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA for a minute or so! I’ve missed you all and I’m trying to get back on my regular blogging!

So I wanna talk about my new brush cleaner I recently purchased from Alexia.com.

I chose the pink version and it’s just so darn cute! First you put your choice of soap in the bowl (just a few drops, a little goes a long way!) Add warm water and attach the right sized rubber end to your brush and dip in the bowl of soap to clean.

I do like this product. There are a few kinks that I would change up about it. Not all of the rubber ends fit the brushes exactly how I imagined but it’s definitely fun to use! I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars. I don’t think I’ll purchase another like this one without really reading the reviews on the product. Sadly, I just jumped on this impulse buy and it was only $38, so not a bad price but the only regret I have is not reading all of the reviews before purchasing.
