Neutrogena Face-Off Challenge!

 This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with NEUTROGENA and Latina Bloggers Connect. However, the words and opinions are my own! 🙂 

 Hey loves!
 I took part in the #NeutrogenaRostroLimpio (clean face) Face-Off challenge!

First, here’s my little background story:
I used to leave my makeup on at night just out of pure laziness. Which is the WORST thing you could ever do to your face…i’ve learned now…lol.

 I noticed I started getting blemishes ALL over my face, which increased my insecurities. But once I started using Neutrogena’s makeup remover cleansing towelettes to take off my makeup every night, they were gone! I also have sensitive and dry skin, and didn’t notice any irritation.

I use these makeup wipes every night, religiously and swear by them. Did you know these wipes take off 99.3% of all traces of dirt, oil, and makeup that usually clogs (ew…lol) your pores? That’s a rostro limpio. 🙂 You can get them at your local food/drug store. They retail for about $8.99 for 25 towelettes with Vanity Case (shown in the picture) or $6.49 for 25 refills. Either way, they are super affordable!

Here is the challenge:

1.Use the wipes to take off your makeup, (along with your typical daily cleanser).

My face before taking off my makeup. GET READY FOR A NAKEY FACE!!

2.THEN, use a white towel to dry your face.

3. Lastly, notice how WHITE the towel is because your face is super duper spotless after using the awesome Neutrogena makeup remover. 😀

*cue the Ooooos and Awwwws*

Don’t just stop there, make sure to check out all the other goodies Neutrogena has to offer!

What have we learned today, kids? Take care of your face and it’ll take care of you! (That sounded better in my head)

Love, Maya

HAPPY SUMMER:Starbucks Refresher Popsicles!

 Hey guys! Happy SUMMMMAH! Here’s a yummy popsicle treat for your summer festivities (like the 4th of July…….) I LOVE Starbucks Refreshers. When I saw they had these babies out, I had to have them. But honestly, they didn’t taste like the original! I had a box full, and they weren’t cheap- I needed to find a way to make the best of them. Why not make them into popsicles?! My mom and I took a trip to Ikea and found these Ice Pop Makers. Leggo!
 DIFFICULTY LEVEL= Your 8 year old cousin could make these with her eyes closed while twerking to Justin Bieber.

  WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
 

  •  Any ice pop mold! These were $2!  
  • Starbucks Refreshers! I bought these at Target($8), but you can get them at any Starbucks!(cute little girl optional)
  • A Freeeeezer! 

The molds come like this! I found that the best way is to mix a little bit of water and powder in a cup. The more powder the better! Otherwise it’ll start to taste like water by the 3rd lick. I know, super tricky! :p I left these in while I ran some errands, but if you’re in a hurry, they’ll freeze in a hour. (depending on how cold your freezer is…I don’t know yo lyf!)

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY-My Advice!

 I’m bringing back Motivational Monday! I found these pictures via Tumblr.
 These are my tips and insight from my own experiences!

1. Don’t Take Things So Seriously.

I know you’re a hard worker and you’re probably working toward something that is going to benefit your life. But it is LIFE. There are so many wonderful things out there that should be worth taking the time to STOP and look at. Stop and smell the roses. Relax, and take a load off. Too much work will eventually make you into a crazed fire breathing dragon. Life will go on. Go to the beach. Go hang out with people who have fun. Break out of your routine. Do something silly. Shake your snow globe as my mom, the Crafty Chica would say!

 2. Love for the Right Reasons.

 Loneliness can be a major pain in the heart. But that shouldn’t be the reason why you’re ready to date, or love again. Love is so sacred and powerful. Loving for the wrong reasons just leaves you more wounded than before. Love yourself first. Write a list of what you deserve, and what YOU could contribute. Love isn’t one sided and shouldn’t be all “take take take.” You’ll know when you’re ready.  
3. Surround Yourself Wisely 

 Surround yourself with happy people. If anything, I’ve learned that happy people are so much more fun! haha I know everyone has their highs and lows. So surround yourself with someone who’ll lift you up, not drag you down. Surround yourself with people who inspire you and push you to be a better you. With that, inspire them to do the same. We’re all hustlin’ to be the best, and instead of fighting, let’s start building each other up! 

These are my tips for Motivational Monday! See you next Monday!!!

HOW TO STUD YOUR FLATS!

These are my “Tell me about it, STUD.” Flats. (Clever, right?) I LOVE me some black flats, but what do you do when they get scruffed up? STUD THEM! This is a QUICK and EASY project using Liquid Fusion! Here we go!

 Supplies:

 Step One: I lightly sanded my shoes in the area I wanted to glue. Next, pour some glue into a paint tray, and with a bamboo stick, apply glue on to the back of stud.

 Step Two: Place stud on to your shoe. If you’re unsure of a pattern, google “Studded Flats” and you’ll find some ideas! For this project I did sort of a triangle, top row=6, middle=5, and bottom=4. Play around with it!

Step Three: Wait for about an hour for them to dry. After that, wear those babies out!
 Check out this quick video I posted on Vine(@mayainthemoment) of the process!

I also made a headband! does it match my pink streaks? So punk, right? 🙂
