Everybody loves looking stylish, including those of us who aren’t gifted with the “style gene.”

Fashion has never been my forté. I tend to wear whatever I want, whenever I want, uncaring of how I fit each piece into a look. For example, if I felt like wearing a crazy colorful skirt, it would automatically end up paired with a plain white shirt because I didn’t know how to match it with anything else. And jewelry? That was for super special occasions only.

I know all you fashionistas are laughing your butts off at me right now, but that’s okay. From now on, I am aiming to create different looks that are stylish and comfortable, but don’t look like I’m trying too hard. This is Hawaii- nobody wears Louboutins, and I have never seen a Céline bag on these streets.

Oh, and one more thing, this is my first fashion lookbook ever, so go easy on me. I’m still practicing my posing and working out the photography kinks.

Let’s get started!

Skintimate Skin Therapy at Target Shopping Experience + Product Talk | AD |

I was asked by Carusele to participate in the Skintimate #NeverMissASpot campaign at Target. Although I have been compensated, the opinions and text are all mine. There are no affiliate links.

I got to do something very exciting this week!

Skintimate® and Target® invited me to try out Skintimate® Skin Therapy Shave Gel just in time for the last days of summer, and ahead of the transition into the brisk fall months.

I’m based in Hawaii, which basically means it’s “shorts weather” all year round. That means no fall & winter break from shaving for me. But that definitely doesn’t mean my legs never need shaving.

Beauty products may not always be super glamorous, but that doesn’t make products like Skintimate® any less important in your overall regimen!

I’m taking you through my experience shopping for Skintimate® Skin Therapy shave gel at Target, plus what I think of the product now that I’ve been using it for a few days.

Follow along on Instagram using the hashtag #NeverMissASpot!

**Do you shy away from toners and think, “That’s too fancy for me”? Well buckle up, because this will surprise you.**

I used to be one of those people. You couldn’t even get me to slap a moisturizer on my face, much less take the time to lovingly sweep on toner.

To be honest, I just didn’t understand the benefits. And what we don’t understand, we shy away from. You know how it goes.

Take a few moments and really dig into the benefits of daily toner regime, and you’ll be surprised at the multitude of benefits. If you’ve got a skin issue, there’s a toner out there that can help!

Of course now you may be thinking, “But Kay, I’m not spending boatloads of money on a watery liquid that leaves my skin feeling exactly the same!”

That’s where this post comes in! Who knew there are *so many awesome toner options at the drugstore. If you need it, drugstores have it! Read on to see all of my favorites and recommendations in the wide realm of drugstore toners.
