Space Saving Ideas for Kids Room When baby boy ar Space Saving Ideas for Kids Room

When baby boy arrived I knew bunk beds would be a great option. When he’s a little older, both boys will share the room. I’ve simplified their room and found ways to save space so it doesn’t look cluttered. I use under bed storage bins for toys and extra blankets. The 6 tier rolling cart is perfect for papers and art supplies. We limit toys in this house so this medium size basket is perfect. Also love adding these bins on the self for small toys.

We’re soaking up the last bits of summer break. Our summer was filled with pool days, water parks, popsicles and riding our bikes outside in the sun. We made so many memories this summer. I’ll miss the relaxing days and staying up late. Our school year starts on Monday and I’m excited to get back into our routine. 

Cheers to all the memories we made this summer!

Here’s a simple summer treat recipe and activity inspired by @motherscookiesus Sparkling Strawberry Mythical Creatures Cookies. These strawberry parfaits were delicious and topped with our favorite strawberry-flavored red and lavender frosted cookies! Then we took our strawberry treats outside and the kids painted strawberries on their new clay pots. 🍓☀️

My Skincare Routine with Tula

I’ve been loving all the Tula products on my skin. I’ve been implementing the Tula products into my skincare routine for about a year now. First, let me first give you some details on my skin. I have oily skin and occasional hormonal acne. Also, I have always struggled with hyperpigmentation. I decided to try the Tula skincare products about a year ago and I was a little nervous about how my skin would do with these new products. If you’re someone that struggles with their skin, then you understand the feelings of being a little nervous to try out new products on your skin. I was pleasantly surprised by how good my skin felt after using the Tula products. Everyone’s skin is different so I would suggest going to the Tula website and taking their skincare quiz to see exactly which products would work for your skin based on your skincare concerns.


Step 1: The Cleanser

I have always loved a foam cleanser for my skin. As I mentioned, my skin is oily so the foam cleanser helps to get rid of the excess oil leaving my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. I also love that my skin never feels dried out after I use this acne foam cleanser.


Step 2: Exfoliate

I exfoliate my skin about 2-3 times per week. This is an important step especially if you have hyperpigmentation. This step is NOT something you do everyday. I like to exfoliate my skin on the weekends because I have a little more time to show my skin some love. Pick 2-3 days out of the week that work for you to exfoliate your skin. Exfoliating helps to improve your skin’s texture, helps with skin discoloration, and keeps your skin clear.


Step 3: Toner

These are my two favorite toners. I don’t know about you, but there was a time when I didn’t use a toner and I didn’t know anything about it. Until I started doing a little more research on the steps I needed to improve my skin. A toner is important because it removes any leftover residue after you cleanse and exfoliate while leaving your skin hydrated and balanced for the next skincare step.


Step 4: Serum

I love the brightening treatment serum vitamin c drops. One of my main skincare goals is to have brighter looking skin. I want that glow! A vitamin C serum is really good if you struggle with hyperpigmentation and an uneven skin tone like myself. Choose a serum that focuses on the goals of your skin.


Step 5: Moisturize

The last step in my skincare routine is moisturizing! I like that this moisturizer is lightweight and it doesn’t clog my pores. It also helps to treat my hormonal breakouts. Tula has a variety of moisturizers based on your skin concerns.


Other Tula Products I love

  • Resurfacing & Brightening Mask
  • Hair, Skin, & Nail Vitamins

I love this Resurfacing and Brightening Mask because it leaves my skin looking brighter right after I use it. I typically use this mask 1-2 times per week and I leave it on for about 10 minutes. Recently, I’ve decided to start implementing hair, skin, and nail vitamins into my supplement routine. I’m excited to see the growth of my hair and overall improvements of my skin from within. My skincare routine has been a form of self care and I love it. Be sure to check out my blog post on 10 Morning Routine Habits. As you’re improving your skincare routine, also make sure you improve those morning routine habits.

XO,

Ashley
