The Royal Wedding



Yesterday was the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton and I actually didnt watch the whole thing, but I saw the highlights of the event. I watched the part with the Queen and the Duke coming into Westminster Abby, the vows of Prince William and Kate, the balcony scene of the Royal Family and of course the kiss. This Royal Wedding is such a big deal because one, it's the first Royal Wedding I was alive for, the last one with Princess Diana was in 1981 and I wasn't even born yet. For me, it really touched my heart in a lot of different ways and I was really drawn to it. I guess it's because it brings me back to my childhood, back when Prince William was only a boy, then to a teenager, and now he's actually getting married :(, where has the time gone? And when I watched the wedding it was like a fairytale that came true. I loved Disney movies growing up as a child especially Cinderella, and Kate just reminded me of Cinderella and William as the Prince. It's amazing to me how the British Monarchy is still going with tradition from many centuries ago with the Queens, Dukes, Prince, and Princesses. And I look forward to the children of Prince William and Kate and I know they will raise them well. Kate grew up in a small town with a middle class family, and when William was growing up Princess Diana raised him differently by taking him everywhere she went, which got him to be very social and a public person just like his mother. I know Princess Diana would approve of Kate and she is very happy for the both of them.

La Roche Posay Products

When it comes to taking care of my skin, I probably have gone through a lot of different products in past few years, and there were some that were just okay, some that made my skin even worse, but my very recent skin care discovery is the best one yet! and will probably be my long term skin care product to use daily. The products I use are from LA ROCHE POSAY, it originated from France and it's the #1 Dermatologist recommended brand. You can find this product from Shoppers Drugmart, it is a little pricier than the other drugstore products, but trust me it works really well for me, it's amazing and I love it.

In the past year, I started to get break outs from time to time, like little pimples from here and there. I was really starting to wonder why?!? I never usually get pimples, and it was definitely something I was dreading because I wasn't really used to all the breakouts. I kept switching cleansers and moisturizers for a few months until the Aesthetician from Shoppers recommended me to try La Roche Posay, she said all these nice things about it, I was a little desperate so I actually gave it a try, and after just a week or so I started to see some changes. I was completely impressed on how my skin has changed, I never got breakouts anymore, it cleared away the pimple scars, and it kept my face looking soft and radiant. I've been using this product for almost a year now and I definitely recommend it.


This is the cleanser I use, it's called La Roche Posay Effaclar, they have a lot of different types of cleansers but Effaclar is more for my skin type. It creates foamy bubbles and washes away all my makeup.


After I wash my face, I use the Efflar toner. Just add a small squeeze into a cotton ball, and after wiping it all over your face, you get a tingly feeling that I love, and you can see on the cotton ball the excess dirt left on your face.


When I'm finished putting the toner on my face, I put the Lancome Genefique serum all over my face (as mentioned on blogs prior). Then I add a small amount of the Effaclar H moisturizer to my face. It keeps my face soft and radiant, because it is a hydrating moisturizer with lots of Vitamin C, and Vitamin C is so good for your face.

That is it for my daily skin routine at night, and then I hit my bed :) It is honestly really amazing for me waking up knowing that I wont get any pimples on my face and my skin just looks healthier.
