Happy December, beauties!

We can’t believe it’s already the holiday season. This month is guaranteed to be filled with cocktail parties, gatherings galore, and unfortunately---holiday-related stress that takes away from our best beauty. But because we are beauty girls, we’re determined to navigate the holidays, flawlessly. No pesky breakouts, for us. No, ma’am! Read on as we share how we plan to keep calm and perfectly flawless this holiday season.

Maintaining balance during the holiday season starts with proper nutrition, exercise and a little time each day to sit and be still. I love to eat so workouts are a must -- I wake up, hit the gym or do a quick at home workout and I’m charged up and ready for whatever the day brings. To stop myself from overeating at the many holiday gatherings (something that affects my skin), it’s crucial to start my day with a healthy breakfast...and for the last few years my smoothies have been my go-to. They are loaded with amazing, nutritious ingredients that give me the clean energy I need to be as great as I want to be. To wrap up the day and come back to center, I do my skincare routine, light a candle and simply sit on my couch for a while doing absolutely nothing.

I LOVE this time of year because I get to visit my family in Georgia. I haven’t seen them in months and can’t wait to catch up. While I love being with my fam, my skin isn’t necessarily a fan of the stress of holiday travel and the change in temperature (from New York to Atlanta.) So I always pack my skincare essentials to help my skin make the adjustment. I also make sure I stay on my fitness routine because I’ll be dabbling in not only my food faves found in the “A”, but all of my mom’s home cooked Trinidadian treats, too...lol.

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year...but also the most hectic. Stress + Changes In Weather = Skin Off The Grid. (Wo)man down! So I try to stay faithful and not skimp on my skin care routine. And it’s not easy with a toddler...so facial wipes are my go-to for a quick and easy cleanse. If short on time, I layer on a rich moisturizer right before bedtime. It’s my experience that making the time to care for my skin, even in times of stress, is the best way to prevent stress-induced breakouts. Oh, and a nice red wine never hurts!
