Skin care in the summer

This post has been sitting as a draft for a while now and as summer is not over yet, I will quickly go over my skin care routine and the products I am using to keep it clear in the heat. 

In the mornings I just wash my face with warm water and do not use any face wash. At the moment I am applying L'Oreal Skin Perfection Serum and Day Cream before going to work/out/applying make up.

In the evening/before going to sleep I wash my face with a L’Oreal Foaming Gel Cleanser, 8 Fluid Ounce (L’Oreal Youth Code series) and after that wipe my face with a L’Oréal Paris Skin Perfection Velvety-Soft Toner. 




Every other day (depends how my skin feels - large pores, small dots) I am using 3 different types of skin care products - pore strips, facial mask or face scub.  

I have been using Biore Pore Perfect Deep Cleansing Pore Strips at least once a week and I try to use them regularly. I have tried several different brands but these patches are working wonderfully! It really takes a lot of dirt out and leaves my nose silky smooth and soft. It does hurt a bit taking it off, especially if I am using it on the chin but it effectively removes blackheads.







 
 


Another skin care product I am regularly using is this Sanctuary 5 min Thermal Detox Mask. I really like using light facial masks and Sanctuary has been my favourite for years. This mask is perfect for oily skin and helps to prevent blemishes and breakouts. It is a self-heating mask and it relaxes your skin perfectly. Warmth helps to open up pores and the charcoal and kaolin clay helps to draw out the impurities from deep within the skin. It also contains the essential oil of myrrh, which soothes and helps to rebalance oil levels. My skin is deeply cleansed and silky-soft!


 


And the last one is Wild Ferns Facial Scrub, which I already have mentioned in my blog. This is a gentle scrub containing pure active Manuka honey. Manuka is a flowering tea tree native to New Zealand. It is extremely rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals and has the outstanding ability to nourish, soothe and heal sensitive skin. My face is so soft after scrubbing and it helps to keep my skin healthy and clear. 



During the summer time my face needs much more care and I have found these products to keep my skin balanced and clean.

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

10 things to do in Rockhampton

I have still a couple more posts coming up about my Australian trip. I hope they are an interesting read! After Brisbane , we flew to Tristan's hometown Rockhampton where we spent the remaining 2 weeks of our holiday. Rockhampton is a small city in Queensland with a population of around 62,000 people. Rockhampton experiences over 300 days of sunshine each year, which means it is a good place for tourism and outdoor activities. Known as the "Beef Capital of Australia" there is much more to do than just sit in the pub and eat burgers! I have made a list of 10 things you can do around Rockhampton. 1. Rockhampton Kershaw Botanical Gardens are a well visited attraction in Rockhampton. The park has many paved walking paths, rest areas, drinking fountains and beautiful scenery with many palms and tropical flowers.   2. Quay Street in Rockhampton is full of beautiful architecture and old buildings. The city centre (main street) is not very big but I think we spent at ...
