Hi Guys!! Hope your week is off to a great start and I hope you are enjoying this nice summer weather.  The heat has been ridiculous here and it makes you want to go and jump in a pool somewhere! 

 

Well, I had a few days off from work recently, and I decided to check out a few stores in the mall to see what I could find.  Its actually been a while since I've been shopping, so I enjoyed my little day at the mall!  I was able to find a few cute things that I liked at H&M and Forever 21.  They were having a SALE at both H&M and Forever 21 ~ a July 4th Sale....I also made a quick stop at Target to pick up a few items that I needed.

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

H&M has become one of my favorite stores, and believe it or not, the H&M in my city just opened less than a year ago!  They have such a variety from casual to sophisticated clothes, men and women...I can shop at H&M and find clothes to lounge around the house in, go out on the weekends, or go to work clothes ~ you name it.

 

 

 

This dress here I found will definitely be worn to work.  The dress code at work for me is business casual, so I can wear this dress with a nice blazer and some heels and do my thang.  I can also wear this nice little summer dress with some sandals and a straw hat and there's my summer look for a day out in the sun!  This particular dress wasn't on sale so I paid $49.95 for this piece.  

 

 

 

 

I love bright colors and neons, especially for the summer.  This top was $9.95

 

 

 

I got these two bad boys ~ 2 for $10
 

 

 

 

 

And I couldn't leave H&M without a bag and some shoes.  Love these floral flats, which were $12.95.  Flats have become my best friend as of late and I love florals!  The bag was $17.95 and its a bold neonish pink.  Love it!!

 

 

 

 

 

I only got a few things from Forever 21...A little floral dress that cost $22.80, floral wedges (told you I love florals) and some accessories.  The wedges were $29.80, exfoliating gloves $1.00, sunglasses $4.06 each, and the necklaces were $3.80 each.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lastly, I made a quick stop by Target to pick up some cleanser, foundation, baby skin pore eraser, and some Black Vanilla deep conditioner for my hair.  I also found a nice make up cup to hold my brushes.
 

 

 

 

Well....That's all folks!  This was just a quick little mini haul that I wanted to share with you all.

BET Awards ~ Red Carpet Watch

 

 

 

 

 

Hello All!!  Hope you all had a great weekend....
 

 

So this year's 2014 BET Awards Show was hosted by Chris Rock and the Red Carpet was rolled out for the celebrities to strut their stuff!  As always, you will find some interesting looks on the Red Carpet, and I saw a little of everything from leather jackets in 90 degree weather to flash backs from the 90s.  I always find it entertaining to watch what everyone is wearing, and spotting out the different trends at these award shows.  Some people aren't afraid to wear whatever and show their style through their unique personality and presence on the Red Carpet.  I admire these individuals for their daring approach.  On the other hand, some people need to go home, start all over and begin with firing their stylist.....LOL

 

 

 

 

So who do you think was the "Best Dressed" at this year's show?  I would have to say for me, its a toss up between Adrienne Bailon and Ashanti!

TGIF!!!!!! Celebrity Style ~ Lady Gaga

Happy Friday guys!  I have been enjoying my few days off from work and I am ready to get the weekend started!!

If there were ever a fashion rule that was meant to be broken, you can definitely count on this particular celebrity to do just that.  Lady Gaga is an ever-changing, multifaceted, stylish individual who isn't afraid of fashion.  She isn't afraid to wear whatever or do whatever, when it comes to awards shows or the Red Carpet.  I admire her courageous style which shows her individuality and sets her apart from the rest.  Can we say ~ Dare to be different.....Or Dare to be weird! LOL

Vitamin C For the Skin

Greetings my dear friends and I hope your week has been superb thus far!  I am super excited to have a few days off from work coming up on Thursday and Friday and boy I can't wait!  Just to take some time away from work and have some "me" time is all I am looking forward to.  Not to mention I plan on doing a little shopping and I will have a haul for you all coming up next week!!  My very first haul on my blog!!

Anyways, on to today's post.... I would like to chat a little about the benefits of Vitamin C for the skin.  Last week, I did a blog post on my current skincare must haves and if you missed that post, I have included the link below...

 

http://humblebeauty29.blogspot.com/2014/06/my-current-skincare-must-haves.html

 

I completely left out one of the most important steps of my nighttime skin care routine!  My Vitamin C serum drops!  I currently use the Springs Vitamin C 20% with Vitamin E and 100% Natural Zemea.  I use this serum after my cleanser and toner.  I purchased my bottle from Amazon.com and the price point is $18.97 for 1 fl oz.

 

 

 

Vitamin C, when applied topically to the skin has been proven to have phenomenal skin benefits.  Vitamin C improves collagen synthesis and brightens dark spots and/or acne scarring on the skin.  It also limits the damage of free radicals on the skin, not to mention improvement in skin texture and tone.  Lets all say goodbye to premature aging skin, fine lines and wrinkles!

 

 To be effective, the concentration of topical Vitamin C serum should be between 10% - 20%.  If you have sensitive skin, a 20% Vitamin C serum may be a bit overbearing to start off with because it can cause redness or a tingling sensation at first.  I would suggest starting off with a lower concentration to begin with and work your way up to a higher concentration over time. 

 

Vitamin C taken orally is also a plus and I start my morning off each and every day with a Vitamin C tablet. 

 

Definitely take some time and do a little research on the benefits of Vitamin C and consider adding this beneficial Vitamin into your daily regimen.
