How To Keep Your Skin and Hair Beautiful During Winter!

Since it is snowing right now and the air is dry I thought I'd give you my secret tips to keeping healthy glowing skin and hair. I should really follow this more myself but I have a few tricks and tips to keeping your skin and hair moisturized and not dry.

My number 1 top secret is coconut oil! Coconut oil is GOD. Everything about it is amazing. I use an organic coconut oil so there's nothing bad about it. Before I go to bed after I wash my face I use CO on my face, on my scalp (not a lot just a thin layer), always make sure you get your neck, elbows, knees, legs after I take a shower! Everywhere! I use the one from Cunningham Farms. It keeps everything set for the winter time!

For my curly, frizzy hair conditioning it is must! I deep condition my hair 2 twice a week. This might mean I have to wake up an extra half hour earlier to do so. Especially since it's cold and I air dry my hair it takes longer to dry. Sometimes I will use the defuser on my hair dryer to make it at least half dry so I don't get sick. But always conditioning your hair will help keep the moisture in and dryness OUT!

My favorite kind lotions always come from The Body Shop! I've been using them for years and I love them. I usually put lotion on before I go to bed and wake up feeling great! I always carry small handbag lotions from Bath and Body Works just in case! 

One of my favorite new products that I've been using a lot this winter is the Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream. I'm sure everyone can agree when I say nails are the hardest to maintain. I always feel like my nail cuticles are peeling but not with this! I put it on every morning after I finish my makeup. I've notice a big difference since!

LIPS LIPS LIPS!!!!!! I can't explain how important keeping your lips moisturized!!!! I keep legit 2 lip glosses, chapsticks, sugar lip scrubs in my purse or jacket at all times during winter! There's nothing worse then talking to someone with chapped lips. I feel like that's all you focus on. DO NOT lick your lips while outside! You don't want Kylie lips that are chapped... My favorites are Vaseline lip therapy (it's tiny and will fit anywhere!), Fresh Sugar Lips (Amazing! But very expensive...I got one last year or the year before for my b-day gift from Sephora! Still have it! A little goes a long way!), Baby Lips by Maybelline, EOS lip balm (if you feel like your lip sphere is dry take a plastic knife or knife and shave off around it. It should make it soft again.), and Burt's Bees!  

Keeping your skin healthy and glowy is essential during winter. It's hard to keep up because as humans we get lazy but true not to be lazy this winter! You are going to thank yourself in the end!

Let me know what your favorite products are for winter time! I'm always up for trying new ones!!!

Lots of Love,

I survived the first 3 weeks of college!

Wow! It's been a while! I can't believe I survived the first 3 weeks of college! Words that can describe the first 3 weeks...crazy, exciting, nerve-racking, new traditions, all of the above. So many thoughts, feeling, and getting used to my new surroundings! I still don't think I have it all set yet! Every week I have to have my Mom come down to bring me things! I feel bad! But I keep forgetting things!! haha! This week I'm having her bring me sweatshirts and my camera!!! I miss my babies! haha! Although I am trading in my camera :O I know! I want to try out a Canon or get the Nikon D5100 instead of D3100!

Things I'm still getting used to in college....

-the food! I'm becoming a vegetarian here! I haven't ate meat this whole time! I'm dying for a nice steak or hamburger! Not going to lie...I don't totally trust the meat here! Call me crazy I know I am! haha!

-Waking up! One of my roommates wakes up the same time as me most of the time and one wakes up at like 10 everyday...I wake up at 7ish! So waking up and walking around with the squeaky door gets to be very hard sometimes!

-The sound! I live in one of the nosiest dorms of them all!!!!! Not lying, we call it the Zoo...! As we type right now there's someone down the hall blasting music and talking loudly! Although everything echos! Especially the doors slamming!!!   

Yeah...pretty much it for right now! Well here are some pictures from the past 3 weeks! Enjoy! 

Painted my nails for the first week! Told Seventeen Magazine about it and got 37 likes! So cool! Follow me on Instagram! My username is ElizzabethHope!

I find myself straightening my hair alot now...2 reasons..it's quick to style in the morning and I can sleep in a little later if I want because I don't have to wash it everyday!

Fence at my school. It was really cloudy! Idk...I like it! :)

This happened on the same day as the last picture!

My makeup storage! Yes I dedicated the first drawer to makeup! 

Sketches for a class. I'm sketching alot these days as well!

The 2nd weekend on Sunday only my roommate and I went to New York for a trip with my school! So much fun but we got lost :/

New York buildings! I like the silhouette of the buildings but you can see the ones far away!   

New York Collage! Time Square, DASH, LOVE sign, and Madison Square Garden! Yes, We went to DASH! Finally! The Kardashian's store! Loved it! But I thought they designed the clothes for some reason? They don't...they take clothes like Alice and Olivia and others... 

Brandy Melville!!!!! FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY! I've been dying to get things from this store! The store itself is very small...well narrow...and there were a ton of people there! I think it's because it was memorial day or something like that...I forget to be completely honest..

My nails currently! Inspired from Pinterest! 

So I was going to do a New York haul but instead I am just going to wait...My roommate now knows I have a YouTube and a Blog so I'm hoping she'll help me take pictures for my blog while I'm here at college! Other then that everything's been great! I'm having alot of fun and learning alot! Oh and I got hypnotized last night...yeah...let's not talk about that right now...
