Product review: Albertini Intl. Devine

This stuff is amazing. I got it back in my August Glambag from Ipsy. It was one of those products that I let sit around for a while before I actually got around to using it. I have very dry skin and I use this in the shower and it really does help to make my skin stay hydrated all day.

There are two ways you can use this, you can apply in the shower and wash off, or you can apply to damp skin and leave on. I have used it both ways and they  work equally well. I mainly focus this product on my elbows and upper arms. Since my wedding is in four months I decided I really need to get a handle on my skin care. I have elephant elbows and this stuff really smooth's out my skin and lasts all day.

I work at a desk all day so a lot of the time my elbows are brushing up against my desk and the skin gets worse, but not when I have used this stuff in the morning!

It has a consistency of a very thick hair conditioner which really seems to lock in the moisture. I am not sure where to find this product in stores so I think I will have to make use of Ipsy's 20% off code (IPSY15) and order this product full-size once I run out.

Oh how I've missed yoga!

A few years back I started going to a yoga studio. They had a promotion that for your first month you could come an unlimited amount of times for only $50! An AMAZING price, since normally it's $150 for an unlimited month! After my first class I was in love. I tried by best to go twice a week to the Yoga 101 class, I even went on a Sunday morning!


I loved yoga, but I didn't love the price, so I had to stop going to the studio. I had tried a few videos at home, but it just wasn't the same as being in the studio. It's been well over a year since I've been to a class and recently I've been wanting to go back. I just can't swing the that price tag!


Of course I was on Pinterest yesterday looking at yoga related things and came across a YouTube channel that has a #30daysofyoga series! You can find it {here}Yoga with Adriene will probably be my new obsession.


I watched in introduction video to the 30 days of yoga, and since I haven't been on the mat in over a year I decided to try the {yoga for complete beginners} she recommends to get back into the swing of things. Adriene has a way of making you feel like you're actually in a studio, and I was able to get really into it and myself. Completely different that other videos where I just wasn't motivated enough to do the whole practice.


I think I will try a few more of her beginner videos before I jump into the 30 days of yoga series. I will post about my journey once a week after I start!

Halloween was a bust!

I was so disappointed in Halloween this year! I live in a two family house, and I was expecting a lot of children! When I was living in my old place (it was an apartment complex) I never got a single trick or treater. So, after talking to my downstairs neighbor I was pretty excited. She had mentioned that last year there were so many kids she ran out of candy!

I did my make up to look like a cat and borrowed some ears from my neighbor to complete the look!

My nose was quite itchy with all that eye liner on my face!

Since Halloween was on a Saturday this year I figured kids would start showing up around 2pm. Well my bell did ring at 1:30PM I was excited. Look who it was! The HULK! Aka my nephew :]

Sweetest HULK around!

Unfortunately the bell didn't ring again for 3 hours. I got one group of kids and that was is! Now I have all this candy to myself!

There were fireworks though, and really close to my house.  It was a nice way to end a bummer of a day.

Perfect view from our living room window!

Although it wasn't a total waste of a day and candy! Mike and I had the whole house to ourselves, pulled the couch up close to the TV and played Jurassic World Lego with the bowl of candy at our feet!

How was your Halloween?
