Asos contacted me a few weeks ago and asked I would like to be apart of their secret santa gift exchange. I won't lie, I was a little nervous. I don't have a super girly style so I was worried the blogger shopping for me might send me a bright pink dress or something else terrible, but <a href="http://www.fashionloveandmartinis.com/">Amanda Allison</a> and I go back like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tCTm5M3Cp8">babies with pacifiers</a> so when I found out she was my secret santa I knew my homegirl would do it to death. And do it she did! Aye! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had the pleasure of picking out an item for Jordyn of <a href="http://www.thefairyprincessdiaries.com/">The Fairy Princess</a>. She's already posted pictures of the dress I sent her <a href="http://www.thefairyprincessdiaries.com/2015/12/21/sixties-party-girl/">here</a>. I'm so glad she loved my pick! </div>

The day after Christmas Chicago was a Springtime, rainy mess (In December ya'll. We living in our last days) so I styled a super casual rain friendly look. This is also a great comfy outfit for the after Christmas fatigue I'm sure many of you are experiencing. I used my thrifted flannel to add contrast the stripe top Amanda sent me and throw the trouser she sent me on as well. Finally, I finished of the look with my go-to sneakers and denim jacket. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I think this is one of my favorite outfits as of late. In keeping with the theme around here these days this outfit is super casual but still put together. I've worn this out with friends, <strike>to the strip club</strike>, and to school. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is no real narrative for this outfit choice so I have some bullet points:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1.) These Lane Bryant chinos fit so well I own them in two colors. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2.) Nobody believes these pants are from Lane Bryant because they fit so well and the color is so dope. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3.) Look at LB stepping they cookies up before they crumble. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4.) My hair is FUCKING huge. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5.) The bigger the hair the closer to...well..somebody </div>

I thought today I would share with you guys (the two of you that are still with me) a super simple go-to outfit for me. As summer fades and ushers in Fall we're often left with weather that is both hot and cool. A great way to combat that is with light layers and holes! Yes, holes.<br />
<br />
For this outfit I went with a plain boyfriend t-shirt with this light weight thrifted plaid top over it. It's a great layer because it adds interest but is still light enough that its not too hot. For bottoms I just paired it with a pair of ripped Torrid "skinny" jeans that I purchased in a larger size to wear as boyfriend jeans. Rips(or holes like my grandmother calls them) help keep you ventilated in the heat while the fabric of a full length jean keeps you warm at cooler moments.<br />
<br />
Whelp! That's it. What are your go to outfits? What do you wear when the weather can't make up it's mind?<br />

After the <a href="http://www.bet.com/video/betawards/2015/performances/bad-boy-reunion-diddy-mase-lil-kim-faith-evans-jada-kiss-lox-french-montana-112-mario-winans.html">Bad Boy Reunion</a> a few weeks ago at the BET Awards there's no way like minded people don't get the title of this post but anyway....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today for your viewing pleasure I recreated the look I wore to a 4th of July Barbecue. I know what you're thinking, "summer is light, airy and all about color and print." You're wrong! Summer is hot and muggy! Also, allow me to remind you that goths have to get dressed in the summer too. Clearly I'm not goth but now that my new wardrobe is gender neutral and paired down to more simple classic pieces I like to dabble. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To fellowship with my goth sisters and brothers in Christ but not spontaneously combust under thick black fabrics I went with this Asos long line side split tee and paired it with their cut off shorts. I love this cut of shorts by the way. They're not short shorts but not Bermuda either so they don't ride up and save me from one of my biggest annoyances: constantly adjusting. I approve! I kept it grungy, goth, and not hot with these Bedstu boots that are perfect for summer because they are thinner and lighter than Doc Martens. And finally for an unexpected touch I went with the <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#fatshopaholic">Jord watch in Sully</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Most of the outfits I've seen styled with the Jord watch are more contemporary so I used this as an opportunity to showcase its ability to work with more alternative styles as well. Jord means earth, soil, land in Swedish which is fitting because all of the watches are created using wood. I chose the two tone black and maple color for my Sully watch which arrived beautifully packaged. The watch was sized to fit me so I had no issues there and the quality was great. Overall I highly recommend you check them out! </div>

I'm back in Chicago! Now, that I'm back my best friend Jay and I will be taking pictures every week (well most weeks). I am also working on getting the blog re-designed, changing the name, and restarting my youtube channel. I have so much to say and showcase and I can't wait to get started. I have also gotten rid of most my clothes and revamped my wardrobe to better fit my style. My other best friend, Britney and I have sorted through all my junk and we will be having an online 5, 10, and 15 dollar sale in the coming weeks so stay tuned. </div>

Church announcements are done so now on to the outfit. Summer may have showed up and showed out in your city but on my side of the world she has taken an extended vacation. I can't wear shorts yet so I decided on the these extremely ripped jeans. They give me summer vibes without leaving me completely exposed. I went for the US 24 but if you want a tighter fit I would size down. I kept it casual with a super drapey jersey t-shirt and a mens button down. When I'm shopping I worry less about the gender assigned to the clothes and shop in all sections. I encourage you all to do the same, especially plus size men because the struggle is real. Between the button down and the glasses I feel like I got dressed in your dad's closet but I love it. </div>

I'm back from Paris! For pictures from my trip you can head to my <a href="https://instagram.com/tiffany104/">Instagram</a>. It rained the whole weekend so I didn't get the outfit shots I was hoping for. Sorry! Back to this post though. </div>

Just incase you hadn't noticed so much of what I've been wearing has been from Asos. Boyfriend cut, girlfriend, and just oversized things in general have been everywhere for quite some time. Those cuts work so well for my current style and since Asos is usually on trend they have tons of those pieces. Also, on a completely different note I finally found a denim jacket after finally laying my $5 thrift store one to rest. Asos is truly has everything. The fit of this one is perfect. It's oversized with out being too big and has </div>

I wore this casual outfit leaving Birmingham after the Pusha T, Jhene, and J Cole concert. The show was great but after standing all night I just wanted to wear something casual the next day. I love that this outfit has casual feel I was looking for but is jazzed up with small details. </div>

I took these photos a few months ago when it was colder (obviously) but at the time decided I didn't like them but looking at them now I'm not sure why. Even though summer is on the horizon for the western hemisphere, in England it's still in the 50 degree range, so I've still been wearing this outfit minus the scarf and gloves. Also, in Chicago it's 50 degrees one day and 80 the next so don't put them leather jackers away just yet. </div>

I bought some Doc Marten's that aren't 1460's! If you've been following this blog for any length of time you know that I am the 1460 queen or king (you pick) but I decided to branch out and try some of their Chelsea Boots. </div>

Anyway! I feel like I'm not portraying my closet accurately on the blog lately; its like I have a Doug Funny closet. Like if you opened my wardrobe all you've see is 10 pairs of these jeans and 10 of the leather jacket I'm wearing. I can't help it! I'm obsessed with these two pieces at the moment and I'm wearing them to death before summer comes. I've been searching for my perfect leather jacket and skinny jeans for years and finally found them as well so sue me! I've got a better variety of looks to come (from Paris!) though I promise. </div>

Contrary to what <a href="http://necolebitchie.com/2015/01/nene-leakes-accused-of-stealing-shirt-designs/">NeNe Leakes would lead you to believe</a> no one knows where the phrase "girl bye" came from but what we know for sure is that black girls have been rolling their eyes in annoyance and calling out "girl bye" for longer than anyone can remember. I like to think of it as one of our many colorful ways of responding to our many black woman specific issues. The colorful phrases and jokes keep you from crying, so this post is for my fellow black girls! </div>

When I wore this sweatshirt I was over the whole day before it even started so Prince with the slight smirk that says it all was perfect. However, I didn't know what to pair this top with to make it more interesting. I thought about skinny jeans or trousers but went with these boyfriend jeans instead (which for some reason don't look as baggy as they really are in this photo). I told my friend, <a href="http://falalamele.blogspot.co.uk/">Mele</a>, who was taking the photo that this outfit wasn't really an outfit because it was so blah (y'all know I like everything busy). She replied in her Australian accent, "Sometimes you just want to wear jeans, sneakers, and a top and call it day." She was right; we all have those days where we'd rather keep it simple. Plus now that I think about it keeping it simply kept the focus on the purple one so it all worked our.</div>

A note on sizing: If you decide to order this sweatshirt size down. I ordered the 3x and it has the drape I want, any baggier and I'd be swimming it. </div>

I won't lie to you. I'm not living out of a suitcase in the traditional sense, hints the 's' on the end of suitcase in the title. I know all of the packing advice tells study abroad students to pack two weeks worth of clothing, one big coat, and one pair of boots but if you've been following this blog for any length of time you know that, for me, that is impossible. Shorty needs options! I'm actually living out of 3 or 4 suitcases honesty. With that said, 3 or 4 suitcases is still not a lot of clothes (I feel you rolling your eyes! I do not care! Judge me!) so it still requires the ability to add new pieces to pervious outfits to create something new. </div>

I wore the sweatshirt above with its matching bottoms <a href="http://www.fatshopaholic.com/2014/12/a-london-christmas.html">here</a>. The two pieces together are such a statement that it's hard to work around them both to create something new so I broke them up. This hat that I found at a plus size clothing sell in Brick Lane and the Dr. Marten shoes give the sweatshirt a completely different feel. Also, these jeans have busted knees but you can only see them when I'm walking. Boooooooo. On the upside the hat I'm wearing is the only one I've found that can fit my big ass dome and the naps, and it was only 10 pounds! </div>

On Instagram I've been hash tagging my outfit photos #boysinmakeup #hardfemme2015 because I've decided to dress more hard than femme. No, it doesn't mean I'm about to go pick up the aggressive bitch starter kit of baggy dark denim and timberlands, but it does mean you'll rarely (if ever) see me in skirts or dresses any more and that I'll be wearing some sporty looks, gender neutral clothing, and just plain ole' menswear. I've identified as hard femme for many years and was never the ultimate girly girl so in many ways this isn't a huge departure from what you've been seeing. I'll still be moving about the cabin with a beat mug too; I can't live in a world without lipstick. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've realized that fly fat boys that don't wear church clothes have it so hard! Like oh my god! Can a bitch get a short sleeve button down in a fly print in size fat? Geez. I'm going to have to do some major thrifting when I get home because while I like the outfit above ya'll know I'm busy and need prints in my life. This all neutral shit ain't for the kid. </div>

I couldn't go back to Chicago for Christmas because the struggle is real so I went to London instead. I spent the holiday with the lovely <a href="http://falalamele.blogspot.co.uk/">Mele</a>, Teresa, and Emma (my London buddies!) as well as their houseguest Bonny and Danni. We started the trip off with seeing Wicked. I knew a few of the songs but had never seen it. I live for musicals! It was the best! I really would like to see it again. Then we had dinner at Jimmy's World Food. Long story short: Great India food, poor service. The outfit above is what I wore for all of the day's festivities. Style wise I've been trying to tap more into the hard side or hard-femme. You know, embracing my inner tomboy. I been wearing joggers and jerseys and things like that so yea. Should I do a post on this or a video? hmmm.... Anyway! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The next day we went to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park to see the ice sculptures and then I had Shake Shack for the first time since I left New York in 2010. It tasted like Memories gone by (ha!), it was great! Christmas was spent eating, playing heads up, watching movies, and just having a general good time. Mele and Teresa did an amazing job on the food and I can't thank all ladies enough for their hospitality. Because of them I didn't spent Christmas alone and I'm forever grateful. How did you spent your Christmas? </div>

So apparently grey is a trend. When I first heard about it I reacted much in the same way <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8h2qnRBzR0">Miranda Priestly did about florals</a>. But the good thing about this relatively goofy trend is it challenges your creativity. Wearing all one color reminds me of the girls from high school that would wear the same one or two colors with little to no tonal variation from head to toe. I don't have to tell you it looked a fool. Here I layered a few different tones of grey and added a grey and black patterned coat over it from New Look Inspire. I think it worked out pretty well. Someone on Tumblr said I looked like a fashionable cloud! Ha! I'll take it! </div>

Also, shout out to Teresa, <a href="http://falalamele.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/monki-meet-up.html">Mele</a>, Emma, and Rhi. I hopped a train from Brighton to London, where all four of the ladies are currently working as teachers, and we spent the day hanging out. First, we went to a bust of a thrift sale at East End thrift store. Most of the items were dirty, ripped rejects and it didn't seem like they'd done as much restocking as promised. I miss Chicago thrifting so much! Then we walked through Notting Hill market were we ate street food and I saw the book store from <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArlsU2_cUbg">Notting Hill</a>! </i>There were so many people taking pictures in front of the door but you know the book nerd in me wanted to stop in because it looked so beautiful inside but by that time I was so tired. Next time!<i> </i>We ended the day at the 7 day adventist church the ladies belong to and then had Nando's! I'm not the biggest fan of Jesus or Church but it was a nice service and a nice throw back to my childhood because my Grandma is an Adventist so I grew up going. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">First post from England! Today my new friend Rosie and I got together to shoot some outfit photos. Honestly, I'm a little out of practice, but I think the two I've posted here are pretty nice; they look like shots out of a fall clothing catalogue which for some reason immediately makes me think of the Brady Bunch celebrating by singing "Sunshine Day" in Sears. Don't Ask! Anyway! This outfit is certainly not the edgiest I've gotten, but it's what I wore to my seminar so it's pretty representative of a casual outfit for me. My shoes say "fucked forever" though. Does that make this outfit edgy?</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">Can we discuss these jeans though? If you've been following me on various places on the Internet over the years you know I almost never wear pants and when I do they are never jeans. However, these are the jeans I've looking for since I was sixteen. They are super stretchy and comfortable and are actually really skinny at the leg! Every other pair of skinny jeans I've worn fit properly everywhere else but fit more like straight leg pants at the bottom. I'm in love. </span></div>

I've been away from you guys for so many reasons. I should make a list. List are good!<br />
<br />
1.) School - I started going to a four university and was just over whelmed with reading and writing so blogging took a definite backseat.<br />
<br />
2.) Lack of Inspiration - So much of the clothing I've been seeing is just not exciting me. You guys know I'm busy. I like prints, patterns, and just different shit in general. Nothing has been serving me that which means I'm just not excited to get dressed. I always strive to bring something new to the table. I can't be posting pictures of myself in just body con dresses and blazers. I don't do natural hair videos, as many have suggested, because I don't have anything to bring to that platform. A wash and go is a wash and go is a wash and go. You don't need me to show you that. I feel the same way about blogging. How many times can I wear a dress and combat boots before you're over it?<br />
<br />
3.) I Have Other Passions. I've been making videos on youtube about my first love, books, for a while. I post book reviews, hauls, and other book related videos so check it out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TiffReads/videos">here</a> if you're a reader.<br />
<br />
4.) Shooting Photos Never Goes Well - Self explanatory.<br />
<br />
5.) Study Abroad - I've been running around all summer trying to get my shit together to move for the school year. You'll be happy to know I got more or less worked out and will be moving toEngland for 9 months. I'm hoping being in a new place will inspire me more so we'll see.<br />
<br />
That's it. I do like blogging. There is an urge to share I think will never go away, so I'm not going to officially quit this blog or delete it. I'm just not going to be making promises to post, I'll do it when it can.<br />
<br />
So anyway, here some of the failed outfits photos from the pass few weeks.<br />

I tired to take photos today and these were the only two that were postable (is that a word?). Apparently I wanted to show you that you can also wear this crop top with leggings? So, there's that. I'm taking photos again next week and there will be a full brand new outfit. I promise. Word to the ten people that still visit this blog. You are appreciated! </div>

Only not really. That title is a product of frequent hood rat moments with my friends. I actually was busy preparing, packing, and moving into university. School is only in week 2 so I'm still getting acclimated but all is well. I even managed to get a work study job. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Way back when <a href="http://www.redressnyc.com/new-arrivals-1/">Re/dress</a> was under different management they sent me this pair of teggings and I have just now gotten around to photos. These things are amazing. Tights for me can be costly and break after a few wears, but paired with similar colored socks these have the look of tights and the durability and comfort of leggings. I will definitely be buying more of these for the winter.<br />

Technically it's still spring so true to form the weather in Chicago has been all over the place. That means wearing a crop top with a blazer is oddly appropriate. <a href="http://www.fatshopaholic.com/2011/09/street-style_13.html">I've worn this crop top outside before</a> and I always get a few looks, stares, and even some comments; but thats par for the course right? These pictures also mark the reunion of my favorite ootd collaborator <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/jaylagina101">Jay</a>! He goes back to Georgia tomorrow, but I'm glad we got to take at least one set of outfit photos before he left. I haven't been happy with the last few outfits though I'll just chalk that up to never being happy with your own work. </div>

When Chicago weather stops being crazy and summer arrives with plans to stay for good I like to clean out my closet. I usually separate my winter clothes for storage and make a separate pile to donate to the church where my grandmother works. There are no resale shops in my area and setting up my own store to sell clothes is time consuming so donation is the best option. However, I was contacted recently about a Uk website called Music Magpie wear you can send in CD's, DVD's, Video Games, Electronics, and Clothes for cash. They make <a href="http://www.musicmagpie.co.uk/cash-for-clothes/index_clothes.asp">clothes recycling</a> really easy and you get paid in the process. You type in the brand and garment then they give you a value. If the price is right you can drop your clothes off at one of their many UK locations for free. If you have over 25 items they will even send someone to pick them up for you. Have any of you UK ladies used this service? There US site doesn't support clothing options yet, but I'm hoping it will soon. I'd like to try it.<br />

<span class="s1">John Lewis is a department store that offers great designer items when you want to invest a little more in your wardrobe. In this post I'm going to fous on some <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/shop-by-brand/reiss/c600002432">Reiss accessories</a> and what I would pair them with. </span><br />
<span class="s1"><br /></span>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipiW9sIyfe7AA2YQuFdseFF3ab7iUKXILBhkrVUnqDI3sfV5yVqSkdud9ZyLfePi2KGuAbXEjosN3gEepK6SC2Wj3Z6Mt0942Fk1lFrtnAkHJSbNGqhedOJ6qe5U2gGE0v7HQhFr1aGf4A/s1600/hand3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipiW9sIyfe7AA2YQuFdseFF3ab7iUKXILBhkrVUnqDI3sfV5yVqSkdud9ZyLfePi2KGuAbXEjosN3gEepK6SC2Wj3Z6Mt0942Fk1lFrtnAkHJSbNGqhedOJ6qe5U2gGE0v7HQhFr1aGf4A/s320/hand3.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<span class="s1"><br /></span>
<span class="s1">As Reigning queen of the barney bag I think this <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/reiss-luggage-tag-tote-bag-charcoal/p231878128">Reiss Luggage Tote Bag</a> would be a great everyday bag. It would work really well with most casual outfits and I could carry around my whole life which is a must for me with any everyday bag. </span><br />
<span class="s1"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Once again vintage style items are my jam and<a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/reiss-cut-out-metal-clutch-handbag-black/p231878116"> this clutch</a> is super 80/90's. Although I tend to go for brighter colors, for an evening out paired with a simple black dress and a pop of color shoe this clutch would work really well. </div>
<span class="s1"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="s1">This <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/reiss-elouisa-cube-leather-handbag-cream/p231878058">cream leather shoulder bag</a> would look great with either casual or dressy looks when you dont have a lot to carry around. I think this color would work really with pastels which are popular again this spring/summer season. </span></div>

As it is now officially summer I thought in this post I would tell you about a few of my favorite <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/inspire-plus-sizes/view-all-inspire_2030089">plus size dresses</a> from the line and how I would style them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
First up is the<a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/inspire-plus-sizes/shop-department/inspire-navy-embellished-playsuit-_281499841"> Navy Embellished Playsuit</a> which isn't technically a dress, but just go with it. You guys know I love old lady clothes so the gold embellishments are working over time for me. I think this playsuit would make a great day time look with simply earrings and black flats or a great night time look with a chunky necklace, pink clutch, and black high heel shoes.<br />

Next we have the <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/inspire-plus-sizes/shop-department/koko-cream-floral-chiffon-dress_285846213">floral chiffon dress</a> and the <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/inspire-plus-sizes/shop-department/lovedrobe-pink-printed-sleeveless-shirt-dress_287779170">pink printed sleeveless shirt dress</a>. In the summer I love dresses like these to that are super easy to throw on on hot days with just flat shoes, simple makeup and a tote. I love going all out, but that can't happen everyday.</div>

On June 1st I turned 23 and after almost suffering a near quarter life crisis I decided to go out and do hood rat things with my friends. I have Ashely Nell Tipton to thank for rushing my order of this amazing top and crop top so I'd have it in time for my birthday. I received so many compliments that night. I wish we could have captured this outfit better, but we were having some shooting issues. I hope you guys enjoy these photos though.<br />
<br />
If want to see footage of my birthday festivities there is vlog and photos below. I was having so much fun I hardly documented it! </div>

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-IrUisenJrI" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I tried to record a skin care video and failed so I thought I would just write out what I do until I can get a proper one uploaded. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Night:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1.) I take off my makeup with either the <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/neutrogena-make-up-remover-cleansing-towelettes/qxp88719?catid=183591">plain</a>, <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/neutrogena-make-up-remover-cleansing-towelettes-night-calming/qxp211772?catid=183591">night calming</a>, or <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/neutrogena-hydrating-makeup-remover-cleansing-towelettes/qxp240134?catid=183591">hydrating Neutrogena</a> makeup removal wipes. Also, sometimes I use the <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/simple-facial-wipes-cleansing/qxp381072?catid=182289">Simple brand</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2.) I wet my face and the <a href="http://www.clarisonic.com/shop/facial_brush_heads/brush_head_twinpacks/#">deep pore cleansing brush </a>of my <a href="http://www.clarisonic.com/shop/sonic_skin_cleansing_systems/sonic_skin_cleansing_system_mia/">Clarisonic Mia</a> with warm water. Then I put some of the <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/simple-moisturizing-facial-wash/qxp381074?catid=182291">Simple Moisturizing Cleanser</a> on the brush and wash my face for a minute. I take a warm towel and wipe the remaining makeup off my face. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3.) I tone my face using the <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/simple-soothing-facial-toner/qxp381078">Simple toner</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4.) I Moisturize with the <a href="http://bellebutters.bigcartel.com/product/mango-moisture-butter-for-face">Mango Moisture butter for face</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Morning:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1.) Repeat Steps 2 - 3 from the night Routine. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2.) Apply a thin layer of <a href="http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=138781/up_&_up_-_Maximum_Strength_Acne_Medication_(10_Benzoyl_Peroxide_Gel)/0/Treatments">10% benzoyl peroxide ance medicine</a> all over my face. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3.) Repeat step 4 from the night routine. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
No makeup days:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I do the same things, but I don't use the makeup wipes, skip the Clarisonic and just wash my face with my fingers and the face wash. </div>
