A: What accessories do you wear everyday?

A silver watch from Fossil, my wedding band and engagement ring (vintage miner's cut 1920s/30s), some kind of ring on my right hand, some kind of bracelet matching my outfit/earings (2 holes in each ear).

B: What is your beauty routine?

Its pretty simple. I shower in the morning but don't wash my face with any kind of cleanser then. Burt's Bees bar soap, Trader Joe's shampoo/conditioner (the frouffy organic line stuff, I keep forgetting the name), Trader Joe's shave cream. I towel try my hair gently, comb through with my fingers and put in some Curly Girl Rockin Ringlets. Moisturize w/ SPF Oil of Olay and use mineral makup from https://www.everydayminerals.com/

At night I use an Oil of Olay face wash and then lightly scrub with a facecloth to try and exfoliate. I use the traditional Oil of Olay Beauty Fluid at night.

I struggle with face products, because I want them to be natural, easy to use, inexpensive and not tested on animals. After trying a ton of things I've just gone back to Olay (they don't have that last part, but they are actually less toxic than the stuff I had been buying at The Body Shop for a long time).
