The secret is out! A lot of people are so surprised about my age because they say I look a lot younger. I have to thank my momma for the good genes but also doing the work pays off! 

After turning 33 my skin regimen is becoming a bit more complex and with a lot more intention. I used to grab whatever I could find at a drugstore and call it a day, now a days that looks a whole lot different.

Memorial Day is almost here and that means that summer is around the corner! While the beginning of Spring does take my breath away, I have to say Summer is my all-time favorite season. The impromptu BBQs and tanning seshs, pool parties and summer cocktails is what I live for!

I will be staying in Minneapolis because we just came back from Miami but we are celebrating my hubby’s and my birthday! Yes, we have almost the same birthday (his is 21st and mine 22nd) and we are meeting some friends at my favorite brewery here in the Twin Cities.

Dear Future Self: You Are Enough

I’ve always struggled with Imposter Syndrome and that is not a secret to anyone. I guess we all do, but I have learned that it’s not about the syndrome but rather what you do with those feelings and how you react when they hit you all at once.

To me, the feeling is even stronger when all my life I’ve have been told I am a strong independent woman. I know I am, I have proven to myself that I can face pretty much anything life throws my way but as I get older, the challenges come with more responsibilities and yes, that scares me. At 33 years old I am pretty much running marketing for the multicultural demographic for a Fortune 500 corporation.

My 3 Go-To’s To Get My Skin Winter-Ready

Oh the cold weather is definitely here in Minnesota! A little too early than what I would have liked but I guess it is time to embrace it and get ready for it. My skin is one of the first things that I try to think about since the earlier that I start taking care of it, the better it will look during the harsher months.

This will be my third Minnesota winter and I have learned so much about skincare the last two winters, so here are my 3 go-to’s to get my skin ready

My Relationship With Sunscreen

Photography by: Angel Torres

Now that I’m back from Miami with a sun kissed tan, it really made me think about how I treat sun skincare as a whole. Not only because I wanted a tan (after hibernation for 6 months) but also because I became very aware of it a few years back.

I am not going to lie, I’ve been pretty reckless with my skin. I used to be the girl who would go a couple of times a week to the tanning salon to lay on a tanning bed back in high school. I KNOW! IT WAS AWFUL! I did it for a couple of years until I moved, and my tanning salon was not close to me anymore- Thank God! I truly can’t even imagine all the damage I caused to y skin and how many years I added to my appearance just because I wanted to be super tanned.

Winter Travel Skin Care with Olay

2018 started in such an amazing way! I finally am starting to feel like I’m settling into my Minnesota life with my hubby and Milo. And it also started with some of the things I enjoy the most; traveling. Last week I was in New York shooting some new stuff for Target.

But with traveling it also comes some worries like how to keep my skin happy and healthy while I’m on the road? Traveling takes a big toll on both our bodies and skin and I try my best to keep them both healthy. One of my secret weapons this winter has been the new Olay Whips! I have been using the Luminous line and it gives me the perfect amount of radiance without the shine- my skin can get pretty oily. So, what make it so special? Well, for starters the texture of it is like nothing I’ve felt before, almost like a velvet soft feeling. It also helps to minimize the appearance of pores and I am all up for it!

My Winter-Proof Skincare Routine with Olay

This is a sponsored conversation with Olay, but all opinions are my own.

Winter is one of the harshest seasons and well, living in the Midwest it’s even worst. This is my second Minnesota winter and it definitely came in a lot earlier than it did last year. The air is much colder and we even had two snow days already. Last year around this time I remember it was maybe in the 70s.

As I get used to this whole “seasons” thing I have made some tweaks in my beauty routine to get my skin ready for them, specially for winter! I started the Olay 28 Day Challenge and I really love the results. Who could have thought that just by changing my normal moisturizer for the Olay Total Effects Moisturizer with SPF 15 in the mornings and the Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel in the mornings and nights I would feel such a difference?! A simple 2 steps that I am sure is helping me get ready for a harsh winter. And you guys know that I am all about a simple skin routine. The biggest difference that I have noticed is that before when I took of my make-up and wash my face, my skin tended to feel a little tight, then I would go to bed and I usually sleep on my side; that is exactly what causes wrinkles and fine lines around my eyes. I think the constant hydration thru the day with the Olay total effects Moisturizer plus the humph of the Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye gel at night really helped me avoid some fine lines.

Skin Confidence After 30

Photography by: Angel Torres

It’s been a month since my 31^st birthday and I can truly say I have never felt more comfortable on my own skin. I used to be very self-conscious about my body (always way too skinny) and about my skin (dealing with acne).

People say that after 30 your skin starts to act up and that wrinkles start making an appearance. According to the Good Housekeeping Study, some women get really concerned about aging and can end up paying $400 for an anti-wrinkle cream. However, you don’t have to go to that extreme to get great results.

It really feels like forever since my last blog post! But I am happy the rebranding is done and that I got so much positive feedback from you guys!

I partnered up with Olay to bring you guys my night routine. You already know that I do not like to put a lot of products on my face and that I like to keep it minimal. So as expected my skin routine is short and simple.
