 I never paid too much attention to my skin before now.
Now that I am home more and not wearing makeup, I have become really obsessed with taking care of it.
Is it late to start now? Ideally, I would have started in my 20's, but since I did not, now will have to do.

My mother always used Lancome products, so I thought I would start there.
I started watching the Lancome Facebook page and one of its Ambassadors, Ricardo Costales, is my favorite. He has a great sense of humor and his skin glows!
So I thought I would go to their site and try some of their most popular, but affordable products.

I needed a few things anyway, I was out of foundation and needed face powder, and theirs are my favorite. I just purchased what I needed and they had a promo for a 7-piece gift that allowed me to get some samples of Genifique and Lancome Hydra Zen, Renergie Lift Multi-action and some other goodies. I also purchased a Genifique Starter kit and a few face masks to try. I love Visionnaire, too.

I tried my first face mask today and it felt amazing! SO nourishing. See pictures above.
I left it on for 20 minutes and my skin already feels different. I am confident it will also start looking smoother and clearer after a month of doing my routine. I will keep you posted.
In the meantime, check out Ricardo's Facebook for skin care and make up tips.

What your skincare routine?

Be safe. Much love and many blessings,

Working From Home










Given all the people that have lost their jobs during this pandemic, I am grateful to have a job.
Our bosses are generous, loving people and I am grateful to them.
That being said, I can be a perfectionist when it comes to my job, and doing a job well done is a priority to me.

I have been sick on and off for the past three weeks, so it has been challenging to complete all the projects while being sick just because I spend a lot of time on the phone, and my throat has not allowed it for me to do that. And no, I do not have Covid-19, thankfully.
I have been working on weekends to compensate for the things I did not complete during the week and I have come to find out that working from home is, indeed, more work than working at the office.
I eat at my desk and I do chores during my 30 minute "lunch," which I do not really take most of the time.

The other thing I have realized is that I do not necessarily keep track of what day of the week it is. For whatever reason, I am very clear about Sundays, but not really any other day.
When I work Sundays, I usually listen to 80's love songs that I remember my sisters listening to growing up. I am also pleased to find out that I know most of the songs.

I am discovering other things during this quarantine and I will share some as I go, but other than that, back to reading my books and watching my shows when off work, whether it's Tuesday or Sunday.

What have you discovered lately?

Stay safe. Much love and many blessings,

Kate
