The Post-Gym, Pre-Work Makeup Routine

My personal relationship with exercise is the same relationship I imagine a lot of 20-somethings have. I always got a good amount of exercise as a kid (gymnastics, horseback riding, tennis…). But after college, it all stopped. Working and working out? It's too much! So I didn't. Until my boss started playing posture police and pointed out my horrible slouch during a meeting. Can’t blame him—it was true. Since then I made it a point to find a workout routine that works for me and my work schedule.

Turns out that was surprisingly easy to figure out—it’s pilates at New York Pilates weekday mornings at 7AM. With that set in my schedule, I had one thing left to sort out: my routine after working out. In other words, everything I'm going to do to freshen up, fix my hair, put my face on, and run out the door to get to work. All within 10 minutes. (Before everyone gets grossed out about the fact that I don’t shower after class and pissed that this isn’t an article that will teach you how to shower in two minutes, let me preface everything by stating that the pilates classes I take don’t make me too sweaty. So, fortunately, I don’t need to factor that time in.)
The theory behind my method is simple—find high-impact and easy-to-use products that don’t require any special tools. Fingers only! I also watched a bunch of Violette videos to get a little inspiration. She’s always doing her makeup in restaurants and on stoops, so it’s probably easy enough for the gym, too. Once my class ends, I’ll run and change into my clothes and throw some dry shampoo into my hair, take a seat, and slap on some makeup.
First I start off my skin with a spritz of rose water (the one from Trader Joes is 3.99 and dispenses a beautifully fine mist). Then I’ll follow with Dior Essential City Defense Sunblock and spread a thin layer of Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer over the areas that need some coverage. I feel hydrated and sun-protected and evened out in roughly 3 minutes.
Never forget to apply the pre workout serum on face everyday before the workout.

The Powerful Impact of Crafting on Child’s Emotional Development

  Emotional Benefits of Crafting Children’s minds and bodies develop swiftly as they grow and explore their surroundings. Arts & crafts are wonderful instruments that can help with this development.  Kids craft kits  allow them to get a hands-on experience where they can tangibly express themselves and immerse themselves in a haven of vibrant colours, varied textures, and boundless creativity! Boosting Self-esteem and Confidence Crafting involves the use of one’s hands to produce something by combining many different materials. They get to participate in what is, for them, a fun process that results in beautiful end products that are unique and personal.
