Summer is in full swing so sharing How I Choose The Best Sunscreen For Your Skin, so helpful to stay away from skin issues like skin cancer. Also, if you are like me and my family who loves the outdoors specially this Summer, then this post is for you. The main thing I look for is if it mentions that it is broad spectrum. It means it protects you from both UVA and UVB.

I have a lot of good options for you starting off and here is the first one on my lift that I am currently loving. I am sharing these 2 recent purchases I have been using this whole season non stop since we have been everywhere under the sun.

How To Choose The Best Sunscreen For Your Skin

SUN BUM FACE STICK SUNSCREEN

I have been loving this, it is so easy to apply and I did not even have to touch the product to apply on my skin. I also use this for the kids because on how easy it is to apply. No struggles and plus the banana scent was amazing! We used those for all the beach days when we were out In the beach.

This next product was also heaven scent!

SUPER GOOP SUNSCREEN

This is my personal favorite, it also works as a primer and adds glow to your skin!

Make this Valentine’s Day memorable by giving Unforgettable Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him and Her with these personalized items.

Unforgettable Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him and Her

SHOP THE POST:

We all want to give the best gifts for our loved ones that they will truly appreciate. So I have rounded up some these personalized items that your special someone will cherish every time they look at it. Adding some personal touch on the items that they know you really made an effort and put a lot of thought about it before giving it to them is the most precious and wonderful feeling that you would want to see from your significant other once they have opened up your present.

Personalized Gifts for Him

The list above are most common used items by men in day-to-day life. And adding some personal touch to it makes it stand out from all the other gifts from the store. Item number one here is my favorite as we all know everybody has a phone, AirPods and watch that they use every day so this item as a gem!

Personalized Gifts for Her

And for these pieces, not just by adding their names but also their photos on the gift is on another personal level. Those keepsakes are always the one that gets closer to the hearts of I think anyone who will get these gifts. I know Valentine’s Day may be so commercialized these days. But having these gifts makes it so meaningful for the person who is going to receive it.

Personally, the lantern box with their engraved name makes it so special that whoever will get it will always think of you every time before they go to bed. Same for the photo cube, they can be both on the nightstand.

Happy Monday and hope y’all have a wonderful week ahead!

MY DRESS/ DESK/ CHAIR

My Home Office Refresh

I have been spending a lot of time creating content in my office. So I gave my home office a refresh by updating my desk and chair. I have been literally sitting down and writing a bunch of content ideas for the blog. Having my previous desk was not motivating me as it is like an old computer table. Check my previous desk on this post. Since we have been updated our living room and dining room. I decided it is also about time to switch up my desk and chair and make it look more of like a Simplychristianne type of furniture.

The desk and the chair was easy to assemble, it took my husband about an hour to finish the desk and about less than an hour for the chair doing it with the kids. lol! I got both the desk and chair from Amazon and they came pretty fast since they were prime. And also they are tax-deductible since you are using them for your business.

I decided to get the white desk with gold metals since it works well with the whole look of my office with white shelves.

I also have a pink bench next to my Bag shelf so I made my desk chair pink as well. Now the whole office is coordinated I might just ave to change the artificial plant here into an olive tree. I have been eyeing on them so much on Amazon.

Now looking at my office gives me all the creative juice to create a lot of good content as I now love what is around me. It gives me a good vibe and it just flows if you notice all my reels on my instagram lately. I have been doing them here in the office because it is too cold outside.

I hope I was able to inspire you! Thank you for reading.

Fun Workout to Try in 2022

WORKOUT DICE 

Try this fun workout to do in 2022. It is called the Dice workout game where you roll the dice and it will tell you what exercises to do. This is a part of my New Year, New you series if you have noticed.  What I love about this workout is that rolling the dice and not knowing what your next moves will be make it so exciting. We were just passing by the dollar spot on Target and saw this. I found a good bunch on Amazon which also shows in a picture how to do the exercises. So if those words are like alien to you like burpees, having those pictures help.

On another note, the activewear I used to film it for reels I posted on my Instagram is this set.

They are so good quality close to the Lululemon but half the price, holds up pretty good, used it for this workout and my HIIT training and on the treadmill. The leggings is currently on sale for $30 and sports bra is also $30. Use my code CHRISTIANNE to get 10% off.

If in case you missed my Lululemon try on haul you can check them out here. And this is the link to check out how I demonstrated using this on my instagram by doing a reel. Also you if need more workout inspiration. I just recently did an Amazon live sharing all things you can invest on to for the New Year, New You here with all the workout routine, workout sets, shoes, self-care items that will help you feel better in here.

I hope all these things inspires you to start working on you this 2022. Have a wonderful day and thank you for reading see you on the next post.

SOFA/ LOVE SEAT/ BOOK CASE/ RUG/ COFFEE TABLE BOOKS CHANEL/ YSL/ BEAUTIFUL HOUSES

Been wanting to give our House a new look and it is much needed. So here is my Living Room and Dining Room Reveal. We just wanted to update the whole living room and dining room as it has been long overdue. First of all, they were worn out for all those 9 years it served our family. And also we are braver now to get lighter color as we wanted our house to look brighter meaning it will also look spacious.

Christianne’s Living Room and Dining Room Reveal

So what do you think about this transformation? We went for a modern look this time and bought insurance for the couches in case something happens and also added sofa and loveseat cover.

Let me show you the before photos of our living room.

With all the furniture we have here since we moved into our house 9 years ago. This has been our main living room look. I honestly made it look darker as I was thinking since we will be having small kids. If I get light color couch that it will always be a mess. So we opted on the espresso color furniture mostly and also we what we love about this couch and love seat was that we can elevate our legs when we watch movies. It also helped me throughout all my pregnancies.

Here is the new Dining room look…

We still got the 7 piece dining room set but this one is longer than the old one. I am loving the longer version as it doesn’t look crowded when everyone is at the table. Also loving the new color as it looks brighter and it looks good together with our side table.  Below is the old table.. I don’t miss it honestly!

Hope you like this dining room and living room style ideas.
