So the other day I was putting on my make up and I was wondering why my skin was looking so drab. Then it occured to me….. I hadn’t scrubbed my face with sugar (aka exfoliated) in like 2 weeks. No wonder. So then I scrubbed my face, neck (gently), lips, hands, arms, legs, haha pretty much every limb with sugar and now I am silky smooth and my skin feels amazing. I know in an earlier post I said I was doing it every day, well I was for about 8 months but then my skin started breaking out and so I switched to every other day and it has been better! And I started using the oil only twice a week, the other days I use just sugar and water. (wet face first then apply sugar, if you need more water just dab more water on your face, you dont want too much water, I like it to be a thick paste so it can exfoliate more!) So if you begin to break out while scrubbing your face then try switching to every other day or maybe even once every three days!
If you dont know what I am talking about see here for the sugar scrub I always do for my skin! Here is an outfit post from my instagram (ig name: amberfillerup) I posted Sunday, it is the skirt I kept getting emails about, I apologize that I can’t find any of the links for it online, I found similar one that is on sale and maybe even cuter than mine since it looks like it has a tiny bit of spandex material and would be more form fitting, but anyways I put the link for that! As far as the rest of the outfit, I got the whole outfit minus the shoes here in France and just can’t seem to find any of them online!
Oh and the winner of the Stamp Charm giveaway (chosen at random) is: Stef! Email me when you see this! And thanks for all who entered, there will be another giveaway in the next week! xo

Love that peplum skirt! And I find the same thing with exfoliating – doing it too much can be just as bad for my skin as not doing it at all

1) I LOVE peplum skirts too. Yours is such a gorgeous color
2) I definitely know what you mean about the sugar scrub. I make my own with regular sugar and brown sugar and my skin always feels incredible after!
Keep posting your awesome European adventure pictures!

Hello, I wanted to know if you use brown or white sugar for your scrub?
Thank you!
I had thought about using the baby oil to scrub with, but I mix water, cetaphil face wash and sugar together and it works so well! Thanks for the sugar tip!

Love your blog, just found you and was wondering how you color your hair or if it’s natural? I’m naturally sandy blonde and everytime I have it bleached it looks yellowish so was wondering if yours was a color instead or what? You’re gorgeous!
Beautiful outfit, love the skirt – it’s lovely!
Loveee your hair! I’d love to know how you got it to grow SO long! I read in another on of your posts that you dye it so I am wondering if you have any tips for us dyed-blonde gals!
