On Youtube, a lot of the "beauty gurus" that I watch do these things called Tags. They are basically different sets of questions that bounce around from person to person and everyone answers in their own way to the same set of questions. I saw the "My 10 Little Secrets" tag on Fleurdeforce's Youtube channel and thought it may fun to answer the questions on this blog! I thought it may be something different to try! Anyways, here they are:
1. What is one product that makes you feel like a million dollars
False eye lashes
2. What is your skin care secret/passed down tip
This was mentioned in another blog post...rinsing my face with ice cold water after washing it, works wonders!
3. what is your hair care secret?
Letting it air dry a lot of the time. This is mostly due to laziness but I think taking it easy on the blow drying and straightening does help maintain the health of your hair.
4. What is your diet rule?
Not like anyone is looking to me for diet tips, but I will answer this one anyways. I have never been able to stick to a specific "diet." But what I do try to do is stay away from highly processed foods and stick to foods that are fresh (fruits, veggies) and/or organic. This is not something I stick to all the time by any means, but it is something I am conscious of when I decide what to eat. I also try and cut down on the "extras" like chips, big desserts and lots of snacking. I certainly indulge, like on a weekly basis ;-), but those are the reasonable and practical diet tips I try and live by.
5. Workout tips?
Again, I am far from an expert in this arena. I did sports throughout my life and that always kept me in shape without having to do a lot of extra gym work. However, since stopping sports I have had to step it up in the gym. I tend to find a routine that works for me and stick to it for weeks and weeks. What I think happens is your body gets used to this and kind of plateaus. I think it is much more effective to switch up your workouts between fitness classes, typical gym workouts, running, hiking, yoga and whatever other physical activities you can do to. I think this probably keeps your body "guessing" and leads to better results. This is something I have yet to implement into my own fitness routine, but it is on the docket for summer!
6. What perfume is your secret weapon?
I am not a huge perfume collector. I tend to find one perfume I like and use it to death then switch to a different one and repeat the pattern. However, my favorite perfume I have owned is probably Burberry Brit or Ralph Lauren Style.
7. An item of clothing that always turns heads
Probably my shirt from Barking Crab in Boston that says "I've got crabs" on the front. This shirt has been relegated to bedtime for that reason, but I love it :-)
8. Most treasured peice of jewelry
My Tiffany's infinity heart necklace or the first bracelet my boyfriend got me
9. Who is your style crush?
Rachel Bilson is the only one that is coming to mind right now
10. Tell us something we don't know about you
I played violin in the school orchestra until I graduated high school
