I'm Awake I Swear ;)

Hi Beauties,
I don't know about you guys but, when I wake up in the morning I don't exactly look or feel ready to take on the day! I am always looking for new ways to look and feel wide awake even when you're not! Here are my top 5 ways to look wide awake!


The first thing I do when I wake up is I put two spoons in the freezer. I leave them in there for 15 minutes and then apply them under my eyes to get rid of any puffiness and help relieve dark circles.

I then move towards the bathroom to wash my face. In the morning I like to use cold water to wash my face because it gives me a bit of a kick start to getting ready.

I never forget to put on my eye cream in the morning. I use the Origins Gin-zing eye cream and I absolutely love it! Another eye cream I love to use is the Tarte Maracuja Eye Cream. (I am currently all out of my Tarte eye cream and I will be repurchasing)

Now that I have awakened my skin I move onto awakening my self. A lot of people will use coffee in the morning to help them feel awake and ready to take on the day but coffee isn't the best thing you can be putting into your body. That's why I looked for other options. That's how I found Spark. Spark is a product sole by Advocare and it gives you long lasting energy that is good for you! (Plus you don't have to deal with coffee breath) I recommend  spark to anyone that is looking for something to replace their coffee. I will have a link bellow to where you can order it! I absolutely recommend it! (I am not sponsored to say any of this I just really want you guys to receive the health benefits that I have!) If you never look into any other product that I have recommended on here look into this one!!!

Lastly I will throw on a quick coat of mascara that way my eyes look wide awake. This allows me to go and run simple errands while looking ready without having to get completely ready. (That sentence makes no sense and complete sense at the same time! Haha) 

I hope that you all are having a wonderful day and I will have a link to all of the things I mentioned in this post down bellow. Don't forget that I will be starting my YouTube within the next week so I will have a link bellow to my channel so that you can go and subscribe that way you will be notified when my video come out! Have a beautiful day! 

Love and hugs,

A Few of My Favorite Things (August)

Hi Beauties,
Yet another month has passed which means it is time for my August favorites. Make sure to read to the very end of this post where I will be making an announcement.

The month of August has been such an amazing month! there have been so many positive things that have happened! I am so excited for everything that September will bring (and not just because my birthday is in September)

The first product that I have been loving this month is a health care product. I have recently gotten into fitness and eating well and exercising and the thing that kickstarted this was beginning on the Advocare 24 Day Challenge. I am currently on day 13 of 24 and I have lost 5 lb. The weight loss to me was totally secondary, I feel amazing while taking these products and the people that work for their company are absolutely amazing! I will have a link below to the Advocare website! The entire 24 Day Challenge is amazing but the product that stands out to me the most is Spark! My favorite flavor is the Fruit Punch flavor! it tastes amazing and it gives you long lasting energy that is good for you! I used to depend on my morning cup of coffee, but anymore just give me a Spark and I am ready to brave the day! (I am not being paid to say any of this Advocare is a company that I truly believe in and I would love for all of you to feel as amazing as I do while taking their products!)


The second thing that I have been loving this month are eyelash extensions! I recently got eyelash extensions and I am in love. As I was looking for products to put into my monthly favorites post i was having a hard time coming up with makeup products and then i realized that I was having a hard time because since I got my eyelash extensions I haven't even had to do my makeup. I wake up and go to sleep looking exactly the same and I love it! it makes life on the go seem so much easier. I have done my makeup on days when I am going to be out and about but other than that in my daily activities I have not found a need to apply anything extra to my face! (do not pay a ton of money to have them done, I got mine done for $25 and I love them, Seek a deal!) I will have a picture of my eyelashes up on my Instagram and Twitter Tomorrow, I didn't have time to take pictures before I posted.

Next I have been so in love with my EOS Lip Balm. I have used multiple flavors you could say and by far my favorite is the Sweet Mint that comes in the baby blue ball. The only other flavor I feel lives up to the Sweet Mint is the light Purple Passion Fruit. I love Eos and I think that everyone should be using this lip balm!


My last favorite for the Month of August is the Milk Chocolate Soleil bronzer by Too Faced. I have talked about this bronzer in the past in my Top 5 Blush and Bronzer blog post which I will link bellow! I went into sephora about a year ago intending to buy the Benefit Hoola Bronzer and I came out with the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer. I love everything about this bronzer from the packaging, to the scent, to the formula. If you have light skin or if you just want a soft glow as opposed to a harsh contour this is definitely the bronzer for you!


I hope that you guys all had a wonderful month of August and I wish you all a happy September! I have a few announcements! First of all I will be doing a giveaway once I hit 1,000 Twitter followers so keep an eye out for that giveaway! Second and most exciting I will be officially starting my Youtube this month so i will have a link bellow to my channel that way you can subscribe and you will be updated as soon as I upload my first video! Lastly I am taking inquiries, questions, or suggestions through my e-mail. My e-mail address is beautybyjacquelinemarie@gmail.com

I love you guys so much and stay tuned for all of the exciting things to come in September! Have a beautiful day!

Love and hugs,
Jacqueline Marie
