Everyday Maddie

 Happy Tuesday!! Today I thought I would share with y'all what I have been doing exercise wise lately. 1. Walk on my walking pad 20 minutes OR 1 mile- whichever one comes LAST. Depending on my speed (3.0-3.60), I sometimes get to a mile first but want to go at least 20 minutes a day. 2. Ab workout This one hurts, but it's good- just got from Pinterest!! I have been loving it. Sometimes I will skip some of these exercises and will just do more reps of other ones on here that I like!! 3. Lift weights I only life about 10 pounds, but I try to do weighted squats, donkey kicks, or just do bicep/triceps lifts. Just a little bit, not a ton! Also wear my weighted vest and wrist weights when I walk!! Let's not forget....drink lots of water and eat well! Also, what's a workout without a cute outfit!! I am loving this set from Amazon! I think better quality that Lulu!! I do not put in the dryer though. Tank here | Skirt here | Best sports bra ever!! All TTS Basically I am just try...

 Happy Wednesday! A few weeks ago, I started a new job working at a school. My mornings have been early and quick lately instead of slow....So, I documented my Monday morning to share with you all! Still always start with coffee! Plus a very basic skin care routine.  On Monday, I went super simple with "makeup",  if you can even call it that. OOTD and ready to head out! I filled up my water and packed my lunch. I usually drink an Alani on the way! Not as fun or interesting as I thought it would be, but I like to see this kind of stuff from others so maybe you do too! Have a great day!

 Happy Tuesday! Today I am sharing with you my nighttime routine! After dinner, I had a cup of tea. Look at that steam! I like to drink green tea during the day, but at night I switch to something different. On this night, it was hibiscus berry. Caleb and I sat on the couch and talked, scrolled our phones, and I talked to my sister on the phone for a minute. I took a shower and afterwards did my skincare. These two products are the ones I'm currently using at night. Sometimes, I'll add a face mask, but on this night I just used these two. I have been loving Caudalíe, but I did order something different the other day just to try out. I always do this lip mask or some kind of lip balm. On this night, I chose the mask. Pjs and a full water cup! I always have to have water on my night stand. And y'all know I love my Lake pjs! And then it was bed time! We are watching Friends at night right now, and sometimes I'll read or scroll my phone. And every bit of this happened befor...

 Happy Wednesday!! I hope you're all having a great week!  If you've followed me for a while, you may know I switch up my skincare routine quite often- I love trying new products!! Well, my mom recently started selling Beauty Counter, so I decided to try it out!  I got the Countermatch Regimen. Here's what that routine looks like..... I start by removing my makeup with a makeup remover towel, and then I use this foaming face wash. If I feel like I need to, I will double cleanse.  Next up is toner. I've never used toner before, but I am really liking it so far. I feel like it makes the rest of the products really soak into my skin.  After toner is this serum. I am LOVING this! My face feels so smooth after this.  AM and PM moisturizers. The AM is a little thinner/lighter and the PM is thicker. My skin really really loves these!  So far, I really loving all of these products!! If you're interested, here's a look at my skincare in the past.   Have a ...

 Happy Wednesday, friends!!  I just realized I never really gave a new update on my Typology products after this first impression review.  Wellll.....I've incorporated new products and I've either quit using some of the Typology products or they've just run out. About a month ago, I started dealing with some really dry skin, so I cut out a few things and started some different products. So, here's kind of a random mix of what I've been using lately.  I still love and use this exfoliator.  I switch up these three cleansers depending on my mood 😂. I think the Tula may be my favorite.  I'm on my second jar of this eye cream, and I really like it.  Are you using this stuff??? People are raving about it. I think it has really helped with my dry skin.  I switch between these two moisturizers. If I use the snail mucin, I use the Peter Thomas Roth moisturizer. If I don't use the mucin, I use the snail All In One Cream. I spray this on before my moisturiz...

  Happy Wednesday! I'm linking up with Shay and Erika for the SEPTEMBER edition of Let's Look!  In January, we LOOKED at  Scheduling/Organizing. In February, we LOOKED at  What's In Our Medicine Cabinets.   In March, we LOOKED at our  All Time Favorite Amazon Finds.   In April, we LOOKED at our  Biggest Pet Peeves.   In May, we LOOKED at our  Morning Routines. In June, we LOOKED at  Our Best Travel Tips. In July, we LOOKED at Our New Summer Finds. I missed out on August, but..... Today, we are LOOKING at our..... EVENING ROUTINES!  My evening routine is very simple and maybe even a little boring, but I love it!  After dinner, we watch a little of whatever show we're watching at the moment.  We may have a drink of some sort or a dessert, or both. When we decide we're ready to get in bed, we first tidy up the living room and kitchen.  I love waking up to a clean space!  Then, I'll get in my PJs and do my skin ...

 It's Friday Jr.! Woohoo! Today I'm sharing with you my NEW skincare routine!  After seeing Typology on mixandmatchmama.com , I thought about it for a few days before deciding to try it out for myself! It's from Paris, so of course I was drawn to it!  I've realized that I love any and all skincare and no matter how hard I try, I can't stick with one brand even if I really love it. I just want to try any and everything I can get my hands on. Getting new products makes me excited to take better care of my skin, too!  What I love about Typology is that you go to their site, take a quiz, and they tell you your skin type and give you product recommendations based on that. My skin typology is DE(+). It's a super simple quiz that only takes a few minutes.  So, here's my FULL routine!  AM: Matifying Serum - with 10% Azelaic Acid Firming Moisturizer - 0.2% Retinol + Tsubaki Oil (I also got a free Organic Cornflower Hydrolate, and I use that to clean off product from...

 Hey Wednesday! Grab a cup of coffee, cozy up, and join me for my morning routine! I'm linking up with Shay and Erika for the May edition of Let's Look!  In January, we looked at Scheduling/Organizing a Busy Family. In February, we looked at What's In Our Medicine Cabinets. In March, we looked at our All Time Favorite Amazon Finds. In April, we looked at our Biggest Pet Peeves. Today we're "looking" at...OUR MORNING ROUTINES. As soon as a I wake up, I have to brush my teeth.  Then, I head to the coffee maker. We LOVE our coffee maker.  Once I make my cup of coffee, I head to the couch to get started on The Bible Recap!  I start with the scripture reading, the study guide, and then I listen to the podcast.  Depending on how much time I have after reading my Bible, I just sit and sip my coffee. I usually scroll Instagram, read other blogs, or read my book before I have to get ready.  Most of the time lately, I take my shower in the morning. I feel a litt...

 Happy Thursday! How are you on this second day of March?? Today I have for you my NEW skincare routine. I have simplified since I last shared my routine, and I'm so excited to share it!  I've been seeing Candace Cameron Bure RAVE about Dr. Lancer for years, so I finally decided to try it out.  The verdict is in: I freaking LOVE it.  All of the products I'm using smell amazing. I have noticed my pores shrink and neck lines fade a tad. I'm basically obsessed with it. Right now, I never want to use another thing. I do have other brands thrown in, but it's Dr. Lancer for the most part! Let's get into it!  I use The Method, which is a 3 part regimen. I use the Normal-Combination set. It's also available in Sensitive-Dehydrated and Oily-Congested. I do all three steps on my face, neck, and décolleté area, as recommended. A little goes a very long with all three.  I'm still keeping everything neat and tidy in this organizer under my sink. First up, Polish: I ...
