Is it just me, or did January just fly right by? Usually the winter months tend to drag on, but I feel like it was just Christmas yesterday! An entire month has passed since I started my 2018 Beauty Challenge. If you’re not up to date, I am not going to purchase any beauty products until I use up everything I have. I explain my entire plan in the post, so I highly recommend checking it out!
Yes, this is another Italy post! (I told you I took a lot of photos. 🙂 ) If you missed my previous ones, you can check them out here.
We stayed in Bergamo which is about a 45 minute train ride away from Milan. We took the train there on a sunny, October afternoon and really enjoyed ourselves. Milan is such a big city so of course we couldn’t see it all. However, I was so delighted with all we managed to explore in our short five hours there.
Minimalistic makeup is my thing. I love spending 10-15 minutes in the morning (or afternoon if I’m lazy) putting on a little CC cream, concealer, blush, highlighter, and mascara. It is a routine I’ve been doing for years, and although I switch up the products every now and then, the ritual stays the same. I LOVE a good routine.
It has been two weeks since I started my healthy hair journey! If you want to read about why I decided to go sulfate- and silicone-free, check out this post. It actually wasn’t as scary as I had anticipated. My hair still looks presentable, and I think a lot of that has to do with the products I am using.
This past Sunday I decided that I wanted to whip up some healthy food to eat throughout the week. I want to kick off the new year by eating less junk food, and I have found that meal prepping certainly helps. So I spent around two hours in the kitchen making a delicious cucumber, tomato, chickpea salad for lunches and banana bread for breakfasts and snacks!
