TIE DYE IS TRENDING FOR SPRING

Y’all. I never thought I’d say this, but I am HOOKED on the tie dye trend for Spring! I remember loving tie dye in middle school and rocking my Joe’s Crab Shack t-shirt to school thinking that was #trendy! Hahaha. I’ve come a long way! And you probably have to because I’m willing to bet I wasn’t the only one wearing that disaster! 😉

Lucky for us, 2020 has shown us how to wear tie dye the RIGHT way! My personal favorite has been the muted tones like neutrals and pastels. Pastel rainbow colors make my heart so dang happy! The best place to find these fun pieces? Definitely Target! No surprise there. They have been killing their fashion game, per usual! Although most of the ones from Target are sold out, I did scour the internet and find a lot of affordable options in stock. Most are under $50!

SWIMSUITS UNDER $50

Summer will be here before we know it, and I bet some of y’all actually like planning ahead! This is something I’m personally still working on. Lol! Swimsuit shopping can be such a pain though, especially if you procrastinate. I decided to go ahead and round up 50 swimsuits under $50 in case any vacations were happening this month! I know spring break is in full force for some people. I have personally ordered from every retailer I linked but always read the reviews for further assistance! If you have questions, drop a comment or DM me over on Instagram! 🙂

MY DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINE

DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINEDAILY SKINCARE ROUTINEThe older I get, the more I realize just how important it is to have a solid skincare routine! After too many years of trusting makeup wipes, I have finally stepped my game up, and I see the difference. If you’re like me, you probably don’t have 30 minutes every night to dedicate to skincare alone! Instead, I’m going to share my 5 minute nightly routine that’s easy and doable for everyone! I want to mention that this post is in no way sponsored by Tula. I have used Tula for years, and I truly love it!

STEP 1: WASH MAKEUP OFF

I still use Neutrogena makeup wipes, but it’s no longer the only product! Lol. Tula also just came out with the new Makeup Melt Makeup Removing Balm, and I love that I can roll the stick over my face versus having to use my fingers with the Drunk Elephant kind.

STEP 2: TULA SUPER CALM GENTLE MILK CLEANSER

I like the calming gentle cleanser for everyday use! But when my face is breaking out, I use the Tula Keep It Clear Acne Foam Cleanser. It really works for my skin! I put it to the test last week when my forehead had some breakouts, and it was gone within days! I also use the Go Away Acne Spot Treatment for extra reinforcement.

STEP 3: TULA PRO-GLYCOLIC 10% pH RESURFACING TONER

This is great after your face is clean to tone the skin and even out your color!

STEP 4: TULA DEW YOUR THING OIL FREE GEL CREAM

This gel cream is one of my favorites just to keep my face moisturized! Tula is actually releasing an acne moisturizer in two weeks that I was able to test early, and I LOVE it. I substitute this acne version when my face has blemishes! I promise I’ll add it to the blog post when it’s available!

MORNING ROUTINE

I apply Dew Your Thing Oil Free Gel Cream and the Brightening Eye Balm every morning! I use the balm if I’m not wearing makeup or over my foundation if I am! It blows my mind that it works either way. The eye balm is HOLY GRAIL! Another new Tula product is the Brighten Up Smoothing Primer Gel. I have switched to this before applying my foundation, and it’s worked so well for me!

I know everyone’s skin is different, but Tula has been incredible for mine! It’s cleared up my acne, evened out my skin tone, and just overall brightened my face. Even my friend Taylor raves about the brand! 🙂 You can use my discount code KELSIE for 15% off any Tula products!
