July Favorites

I hope you've all been well! Sorry for the short hiatus, but I decided to unplug and go offline for a few weeks to simply enjoy the little bits of summer I had left. I can honestly it was such an incredibly rewarding experience. But I'm more than ready to get back into my weekly blogging routine! (Who knows, it may be bi-weekly soon?!) So today, I have a compilation of things I've been loving in the month of July. I really would love to do monthly favorites, but since I'm a boring person, I may not have a huge change of things each month. But I'll definitely do some whenever I feel like I accumulated enough things for a post! Maybe a seasonal favorites (Fall favorites, Winter favorites, etc.). Okay, I'm starting to ramble! Without further ado, here are my July Favorites! 

Summer Skincare Routine

I get asked so much, especially recently, about acne, how to deal with it and the scarring, the hyper-pigmentation that's left behind and how to prevent blemishes and have clearer skin. Unfortunately, I am familiar with it all too well. In my teens, I have had the sad misfortunes of dealing with cystic acne. But as luck may have it, it got better as I neared my twenty year mark. I still deal with much more minor breakouts here and there, and still do have hyper-pigmentation, so I've really paid attention over the last few years on trialing and finding gentle results that work. I've brain dumped  all my thoughts and tips into today's post. So, let's get started!

3 Favorite coffee shops in Minneapolis

For those of you who may know me, weather it be in passing or on a deeper level, you know that I am a coffee fanatic, to say the least. Now that it is summer, I have been making more of an effort to take in the sights and beautiful roasted coffee smells my city has to offer. And let me tell you, Minneapolis does not disappoint when it comes to its coffee shops. Before I get into what my favorite coffee shops in the city are, let me tell you what I first look for in the places in the places where I spend 90% of my time.
