Coffee Chat: Recovering from surgery!

After a 9 week female health issue and a Hysterectomy, I am happy to say that I am recovering nicely from surgery. 

It is, however, a maddeningly slow process even though the surgery was robotic. I do recommend the Da Vinci MIP Hysterectomy girls if you have the option. Takes far less recovery time. I was in the hospital for one night and out at noon the next day.

I am very sorry for the lapse in blog posts but it was necessary to my recovery. But now I am back at it so there are more posts to come. Thank you for your patience!

Some Of My All Time Favorite Products

Everyone has some favorite products that they use frequently and buy repeatedly. If you are like me though you are always searching for the right product that actually gets the job done. Here are a few products that have worked for me and are my "Go To's".

1. Jergens Ultra Healing - This is a moisturizer made for extra dry skin that contains Vitamins C, E, & B5. For the longest time I was looking for a good moisturizer for my legs, heals, and feet because I hate the dry ashy look. My daughter introduced me to this formula and I have loved it ever since. It has improved the look of my skin dramatically. 
2. CoverGirl TruBlend Liquid Makeup in Natural Ivory - I love this stuff so much I can't even tell ya. Used to be that the only foundations that I could find that matched my skin tone wouldn't lay on my skin correctly. Made me crazy. Even with a proper moisturizer and a primer I couldn't find one that would stay on my skin and give me good flawless coverage without looking cakey or smearing but not setting. I was ecstatic to find this product. It goes on easy and doesn't take a ton of product to achieve the look I want.
3. CoverGirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in the shade 215 -  This product feels so good on my lips and looks natural. It is my favorite lip color by far and the one that I nearly always reach for. I'm no beauty guru and I don't wear a ton of make up because I like the "natural as possible" look. That being said, this balm is the perfect combination of sheer, moisturizing, and   color for me.
4.  Coast To Coast Skin Radiance Aqua Mist with Quandong & Chamomile - I hate that dry rough scaly look on my face. I found that a great way to keep it moisturized is by using this mist after I moisturize and after I have been anywhere that dries out my skin. Nothing feels better than a cool refreshing spritz when your skin is tired and dried out. It brightens and refreshes my face while keeping it moisturized.

Now keep in mind that I am no pro in reviews or applying makeup. I get nothing from any of these companies for the review. I'm just an average girl on the search for products that work for me. Give these a shot and see if they work for you!
