Weekly Newsletter - July 23, 2023
I'm so excited for this weeks newsletter! We had another busy week & I'm hoping things slow down soon. I feel like I constantly say that and it never happens. haha!! I hope you enjoy everything I share this week.
Grilled Pineapple Chicken Kebabs
I love skewers on the grill. It's always delicious and simple. For the chicken, I recommend using tenders cut into small chunks & marinated in World Harbors Island Style Mango. The key is to do this a day ahead of time for maximum flavor. Then, I layer orange and yellow bell peppers, red onion and pineapple along with the chicken. Remember to soak your wooden skewers in water for a bit before you add the food to them, this helps minimize burning them. This is great for a family dinner or if you're having people over!
My Morning Routine for Glowing Skin
Want to know my secret to glowing skin?
Everyone's always asking me what products I use to get such a radiant, even skintone. With the right products and a consistent routine, you too can transform your skin.
I start by washing my face with Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing face wash. Then I use my Byroe NY English Breakfast Tea toner. My skin feels absolutely amazing after using this toner, it boosts your skin barrier function, restores firmness, and locks in moisture. I follow that with Goldfaden MD Vital Boost daily moisturizer. It delivers hydration, antioxidant benefits and a brightening glow. I truly have seen such an improvement with the evenness in my skin and the glow is no joke! I use a heavier eye cream at night (will share a PM routine soon) but for day I like something light that provides some illumination. I've really been liking Awake by Tarte - Sunshine Stick. This eye balm delivers a naturally luminous, lit-from-within glow while micronized pearls (no glitter) catch & reflect light to blur imperfections. The cooling sensation energizes skin while soothing & reducing look of puffiness & dark circles for a refreshed, awakened appearance PLUS its vegan! I'm big on keeping my lips hydrated. I recently received this lip balm in my Ipsy & fell in love! Mischo Beauty lip balm (in the shade XO) gives my lips so much hydration and gives me a sheer shiny iridescent nude/pink tone which looks so natural but adds so much smoothness and softness. And lastly, (totally not necessary but if your eyes are puffy) I like Dermora 24K Gold eye patches for a little extra help. I made an entire reel of this skincare routine on IG, if you want to see how I use each product, Click Here!
Strawberry Green Tea Soda (Healthy)
I have really been loving these green teas from Ito En. This is the same green tea that I shared before when we made the green milk tea. Start by adding some sliced strawberries and 2 truvia packets to a glass and muddle them. Then pour in your Ito En unsweetened green tea and top with a strawberry sparkling water. It's that easy & tastes so good! I don't drink alchohol, so I am always looking for something fun to make drink-wise (healthy is a plus too)! I didn't add mint to this, but if you have fresh mint that would really accentuate well. To watch the full reel on IG, Click Here.
