This is the routine that I am using for my skin, hair, and nail care. I try to do the same things, on the same days each week. The masks and treatments that I use will change as I try things out. I plan on posting a review about each treatment, mask, or product as I go so I can weed out what works and what doesn't work well.
Sundays I typically don't leave the house, so I like to just be lazy on those days. Since I wash my face with baking soda on Saturday nights, I like to just let my face have a day off the following day. If I do have to leave the house for whatever reason, I use my light coverage foundation routine and minimal eye makeup, which I take off as soon as my errands are finished so the makeup isn't on my face for as long of an amount of time. I try not to wear my makeup for more than 10 hours on any general day.

Daily Vitamins
I buy Nature Made and Spring Valley vitamins. The prenatal is mostly because we can't decide when to try for a baby so I may as well get used to the vitamins. I also eat 1.5 bananas at least 4 days a week. My mom has a potassium deficiency and I get charlie horses often if I skimp on the potassium. I hate bananas, so I typically blend them as a smoothie with soy milk, oatmeal, and chai concentrate or chocolate syrup.- 2000mg Flaxseed Oil
- 1 tablet Super B-Complex
- 5000mcg Biotin
- 3000IU D-3 (bone health)
