Sunday Night Skin Care Routine with the Hubby!

As some of you may or may not know, my husband & I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary since we first started dating on March 1, 2003!  Since then we've had our ups and downs like most normal relationships and we just got married last year! Yay US!

 My hubby loves to take care of his skin, he even has his own blog on body washes for men, where he tries out different body washes and does reviews on them (www.bodywashformen.com)  Please feel free to share with your significant other.
 
We love doing things together as much as we possibly can since we both have such busy schedules.I just wanted to share a little piece of what our Sunday night skin care routine consist of.
Every Sunday night we have our relaxing time, where we turn on candles put some Enya and mask. 

Step one:  We wash wash wash.  Make sure we take all dirt and makeup off. (I always use the Simple Face Wipes just to make sure everything came off)

Mary Kay Timewise 3-1 Cleanser.  This is the one I am currently using.

Step two: Then we exfoliate/mask.  I usually don't do both at the same time because I feel like my skin becomes too sensitive if I do.  So I usually do the mask on Sunday and exfoliate about two times a week. (I try to mask during the week too but sometimes I get home and just want to sleep)

MAC Mineralize Volvcanic Ash EXfoliator.  This is the BEST Exfoliator in a long time that I LOVE!

Current mask Alba Boanica.  This one is good for equalizing pigmentation & even completion

Step three: relax for about 10-15 min. shhhh quiet time.

 ENYA TIME

Step four: Rinse/peel off mask and tone.

Boost Skin Brightening Toner

Step five: Moisturize!  Very important step to help your skin bring back some moister or else your face will feel stretchy.  Find a moisturizer that fits your skin type.  Also add any eye care products here.

I use several types of moisturizers.  Some parts of my face are dry others normal, and oily.  I use the Sephora Serum and Moisturizer for dry spots of my skin.  Mary Kay Moisturizer for normal and Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer  for oily parts.

Step six:  Have a glass of H2O(or wine) and relax the rest of the night!

My husband is not only my husband but my best friend too.  He is such a sport when it comes down to doing girly things and doing things I love to do.  He also loves loves manicures(just don't tell him I told you ha).  This is just one of the best times we have together.

Love you mucho bebe! Besos!  Everyday with you feels supper special and you still give me butterflies after soo many years.  <3  "Most love stories have a beginning, middle and end, but our love story will last forever."

FNK Forever!

NOTE:  I am not in any way a skin professional.  This is what works for me and my routine.  Feel free to leave any steps you don't think goes with your skin type.  Most of the products change for me constantly since I like trying new products all the time.

Xoxo,
Miss Fely <3

Tutorial: Prabal Gurung Nails!

Credit: mygnails.blogspot.com

Prabal Gurung Nails

 

I love love my new Prabal Gurung high heels from Target!  The print on them is so amazing that it inspired a nail look.  Here are the steps I took to get my nails done.  Have Fun!!!

First you want to shape your nails so that they are pointy...just like the shoe.

Love pointy shoes!

  

You will need several colors to achieve this look.

Very important to add a base coat first.  This prevents your nails from becoming yellow.

I started out with this bright yellow from Jade called Suppresed Temptation.  You want a lighter shade as your base because darker colors will be easier to layer.

You will need a very thin brush for all your polishes.

I first added red and bright orange.  Make sure all lines are Horizontal.  Red=Haute Red by Orly & Orange=Exotic Exploits by Jade.

Then I added green...used OPI One Time Lime.

Remeber not all lines have to be perfect. 

Blue...Wet n Wild Save by the Blue

White

Purple

Black was the last one.

Top it with a top coat.  This is my favorite.  Out The Door by Inm

This is the finish look...

Not quite finish.  Use a precision tip Q-Tip to get the polish off the sides or edges.

Prabal Gurung for Target

Find my nails...

They are so girly!

 Hope you have fun!  It does take a lot of patience...let each layer dry before you add the next one or else your colors will mix.

Shopping for the Soul

Hi my name is Miss Fely and I am a shopaholic! 

So just to let you know I take over my mother when it comes to shopping.  She loves to shop!  This is one of her famous sayings, "When you are sick just go shopping...you'll forget you're sick."  This is sooo true.

I've been sick for the last couple of days and have gone to work every single day.  Yes, I wish I could stay home but my job is too complicated.  Well, my nose has been a little runny and we ran out of Kleenex at work.  Okay so I said to myself, "I'll go to Target and get a box of tissue during my lunch break." 

Lunch came around and I find myself at Target...in the makeup isle...in the jewelry isle...in the shoe isle...you get the point. 

I pay, go to my car, take out some Peeps(Easter candy) from a bag and then it hits me!  "Sh*t, I forgot the box of tissue!"  I was mad for a bit but then I realized...during those 30-40 minutes that I was inside of Target shopping, not one minute did I remember I was sick.  It was like a little miracle, the world got a little better during that time. 

This is part of what I actually ended up waking out with.

It is just funny how the body reacts when you are having fun or just happy about something.  At the end Mom is always right...shopping does make you feel better.

Style...Accessorize!

I've always believe that any outfit can go from boring to fabulous as long as you have the right accessories.

Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! You will be surprised how much of a difference a simple belt or scarf can make on a simple outfit.

Jewelry also plays a big part with any outfit.  A statement necklace or earrings can glam up a look and even make your outfit look more expensive. 

These accessories are what makes you look different from everyone else with that same outfit.  So, why not stand out from the crowd and put on some accessories that will make your look go from boring to fabulous.

 Go to www.FelysCollections.com for some cute statement jewelry pieces.  See below...

Beauty...

When do you feel the most beautiful???  When you are all made up with make-up dressed-up or all natural in jeans and a shirt?  To me both of these answers are acceptable. Who is to say which one is the correct answer?  Some magazines and the media make beauty seem so standard...skinny, 34"-24"-34", tall, and perfect bone structure.  Do we really need someone else to define our own beauty?

Whether dress up or not, make-up or no make-up, beauty is there.  We just have to know how to show it and accept our own individual beauty.  Individuality is a key ingredient to beauty.
 
Who is to say beauty only lies from the outside? The true meaning of beauty lies within how confident a woman feels with herself whether made up or not.  If one can feel confident about herself,  beauty will radiate from within.  Confidence makes the world go round and although I don't believe any woman is ugly, I do believe that if a woman has confidence, she can be the most not so attractive woman in the room but still make all heads turn and stare at her through her confidence.

As you can see, beauty does not just have one meaning or standard.  Beauty is what you make it to be! You can be classy and fabulous no matter what  you look or dress like!

What is beauty to you but most important, do YOU think you are beautiful???

Xoxo,

Miss Fely <3

Favorite Drugstore Lipsticks...Revlon!

I remember being about 14-15 years old and going through my mother’s small make-up collection.  She had the basics: lipstick, blush, powder...very simple.  Up to this day I still remember "borrowing" one of her lipsticks and it so happen to be a Revlon lipstick.  It was this beautiful ravishing vivacious lively berry color lipstick that I can still picture when I close my eyes.

From that point on I fell in love with Revlon lipsticks.  I love how creamy and pigmented they are.  They don’t chap my lips like many others do because they are so moist. Love that they don’t have any perfume scent…personally I don’t like lipsticks with scents.

Trust me I have tried numerous amounts of other drugstore lipsticks but none compare to Revlon.  Overall, Revlon beauty products are great quality at a very affordable price.  

 660 Berry Haute

My Favorite: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Crème 660 Berry Haute.   It is similar to the one I borrowed from my mommy and it reminds me of her.

 Other favorites: From left to right: 027-Violet Frenzy, 616-Wink For Pink, 473-Mauvy Night, 628-Peach Me, 455-Paparazzi Pink (All from the Super Lustrouse Line) and last 035-Backstage (from their Ultimate Suede Line)

Magazines...Get Inspired!!!

I went to visit my beautiful mother the other day and hold and behold...she still had my collection of magazines from the late 1990's and early 2000's!  I love my mom, she never ever throws anything away!

I love to look back and see how and what the style was back then.  It is amazing to see what is coming back in style and also have those "OH MY Goodness was I really wearing that back then!?"  moments(Come on, we've all had these when we are looking at old pictures lol).

Magazines are great way to get inspiration and ideas for new fashion trends!   My favorite thing is to get ideas on color combinations and styles, and make it my own.  I sometimes surprise myself on what I buy and the combinations I come up with but it is those combinations that I think are a bit out of the ordinary, that get the most compliments.

I also love to try new beauty products that come out!  If there is a good product out there that will improve my skin or make me look like I'm 17 again...I am going to try it, you never know until you've tried it, right?

So, don't be afraid to get ideas from these magazines and make it your own.  Who knows...you might start your own trend someday!

What is your favorite magazine?  Some of my favorite magazines are InStyle, Allure, and Glamour.  They just give you an overall look on fashion, hair, new beauty products, and who doesn't like a little celeb fashion.

Xoxo,

Miss Fely <3

Simple Girl...

I am taking a small break from my closet series to explain where the tittle of my blog comes from.

"A Personal Style of a Simple Girl" 

Growing up I did not have much but I had what I needed...love!  I could not wish for a better family than the one I have.  My parents where humble people and still till today are very humble; they only have what they need and are extremely happy with that.  They taught me to be like them as I was growing up.

I consider myself a simple girl because I am like every other girl out there.  I don't always feel like dressing up, I don't wear high heels everyday, and I don't like to pack on the makeup everyday.  I like to be ME no matter my surroundings...

For the most part I hardly ever do buy designer clothing.  I get most of my stuff from stores such as Marshalls, TJ Max, F21 and Ross.  I don't always have the money to buy things as they come out. For the most part I have to watch everyone wear it  while I wait for it to go on sale(not hating).  Trust me I don't mind waiting if it means I am saving $$$ and kudos to those who can or want to spend the money on it.  

I do post a lot of what I buy on sale/clearance on Instagram, user name "MissFely".  I really get exited when I do get something at a great deal and love to share it with all of you so you can also get those deals.  I also follow other Instagramers to get inspired or to find great deals they have found.

It is sometimes hard to share what I like to do for fun because there is a lot of hate and jealousy out there.  Not a lot of the people I deal on a daily basis know that I have a whole room as my closet or that I even like to blog.  Like I've said before I don't like to show off, that is just not me and I don't hate on people who have more than me. 

For the most part I have learned to ignore people...I think it's the best way to go.  I no longer go on my personal Facebook or Twitter for those reasons.  What I don't read or see doesn't hurt me. 

Why I do this blog???  Plain and simple...because I love it and it's fun!  I am not here to get famous or get rich, I am here to express who I am, what I love, and inspire.  I do have my own business which I just started a few months ago and I don't expect it to make me a millionaire but I have fun doing it.  (Check out my website... www.FelysCollections.com)

The important thing here is that I keep things simple...I have the most important thing a girl could ever have...a loving husband and a family who accepts me for who I am and that is what matters to me the most.

Xoxo,

Miss Fely <3
