Another Year Older...

So, February is one of my favorite months probably. Valentines Day, My Birthday and My Anniversary with my boyfriend are some of the reasons that I love it SO much. So In the next few days, My birthday is coming up, And I realized that Oh my gosh, I'm closer to being 20 than I am 10! This was of course, exciting as well as scary. I wanted to give beauty tips for people who are aging and what I have personally found, along with great things to do for your birthday. The first tip I have for birthday boys and girls out there is; Wash your face before you go to bed! Studies have shown that washing your face before bed and not in the morning helps cut down on bacteria and breakouts more than just washing in the morning!  The second tip I have is; Moisturize! From personal experience I have found that when I moisturize before I go to bed it helps my skin to get nice and soft without being greasy 15 minutes after. I love love love love LOVE Garnier's moisturizer! Also, When you wake up, You have that beautiful dewy glow about you (Note to self; Must buy more!) And the third beauty tip I have is; Use skin products including makeup that are age appropriate. Usually Sephora or Macy's has people who can help you out with the proper makeup and skin care for your age. It doesn't matter if you 10 or 100, They can help you look fabulous. And in my OWN opinion, People who work in Macy's makeup department are rude so be very cheery with them. So. Here are some things to do for your birthday. 1. Travel to a place you enjoy or that you have wanted to visit.
2. Go get Mani/Pedis and go to lunch with the people you love.
3. Go to the mall and tell people its your birthday to see if you get anything good, I recently went to long horn steak house and got a Sunday because it was my birthday!
Some quick tips for birthday safety and fun (You know I have to include them)
Don't drink too much. If it's your 21st, Don't get sloppy. It's just gross and if you think you have had too much, Please get a DD.! (Learn from the Jersey shore, They always take cabs)
Don't do anything risky, Especially if your turning 18 and you want to get a tattoo or piercing. Make sure the needle is clean and that everything is taken out of the packaging in front of you and that they sanitize everything.
Go out with a group of people. Usually it's alot more fun!
And last but not least, Try to get your mom to give you a play by play of what happened during the day that you were born :)
Happy Birthday and Remember, with age comes wisdom, as well as wrinkles, Responsibility and Love. Lots and lots of love!
