Hi beautiful! ☕️
Welcome back to this week's scoop! 🍦
Today, we're tackling the all-too-real struggle: stressed-out skin. 😩
I recently prepped for a 5-hour road trip with my 2 kids – and hello, stress breakout!
Luckily, I've got my go-to remedies to keep things in check.
Let’s dive into my stress-free skin routine, anxiety-busting tricks, and post-trip survival tips. 🌟
Let’s keep your skin glowing, even when life gets wild!
Picture this…
My iCal notification pops up, and it says "Road trip to Kelowna in 5 days." I immediately start to panic.
I have to pack my stuff, the kids' stuff, the travel crib, their lovies (probably the most important thing we can't forget), and snacks! 😱
I'm already feeling exhausted, and I haven't even started yet.
So, I put the kids to bed and dive into the chaos of packing (which basically means packing the entire house - IYKYK).
After an hour, I've barely made a dent and I can feel the stress breakouts forming. 😩
My skin always reacts to stress, but my Stress-Free Skin Routine always saves me!

Look at the before and after picture – my skin goes from stressed-out mess to brighter, smoother, and hydrated.
Here’s My Stress-Free Skincare Routine 👇️
Step 1: Breakout Begone Cleanser
Kick things off with a gentle 3% Sulphur Acne Cleanser to clear up breakouts. This cleanser gets deep into your pores without turning your skin into the Sahara. 🏜️
TIP: Use lukewarm water and massage it in for 30 seconds – it's like a mini spa moment in your busy day. 🧖♀️
Step 2: Detox Diva Mask
Slap on a Purifying Kombucha + Niacinamide Mask to draw out all the gunk and calm your skin. Your face will feel fresh and clear, like a mini detox.
TIP: Apply the mask while soaking in a bath – multitasking at its finest and most relaxing. 🛀
Step 3: Thirst Quencher Toner
Splash on an Antioxidant Rich Toner to drench your skin in hydration and fight off those pesky free radicals. This toner leaves your skin plump and dewy. ✨
TIP: Keep your toner in the fridge for a refreshing, de-puffing boost. ❄️
Step 4: Calm & Collected Balm
Dab on a Microalgae Blemish Balm to soothe and heal any irritated spots. This balm will make your skin calm even if you're not.
TIP: Pat, don’t rub – your skin will thank you for the gentle touch. ✋
Step 5: Zap It Spot Treatment
Finish strong with a Targeted Acne Clearing Solution to zap those stubborn pimples overnight. This little miracle worker will shrink and heal blemishes while you sleep.
TIP: Apply it right before bed so it can work its magic while you catch some Z’s. 🌙
Skin is looking so much better…
So…
Road trip day is coming up soon, and while my skin is looking fab, my anxiety is still through the roof. 😰
Why?
Picture screaming kids, snack breaks, pee breaks, and trying to find the right Paw Patrol episode on the iPad. 😅
Here’s how I keep sane(ish):
Download the Headspace app
Just a few minutes of meditation a day (with headphones and noise cancellation on) can help so much! 🧘♀️ If you haven’t tried it yet, here’s a FREE 30-day Guest Pass on me. (New members only!)
Drink Sparkling Adaptogenic Tea
Before a trip, I love the Rise Sparkling Adaptogenic Relax Tea to help with tummy issues (which can happen with anxiety!) I also bring a few in a cooler with me on the road! 🌙
Load Up On Vitamins & Minerals
This is my go-to sugar free electrolyte mix for hydration. One scoop in water helps me get all the good stuff. TIP: Add a scoop to sparkling water and put it in a wine glass. Fancy! 👌
Limit Caffeine
I know, I know. (You can't be serious!) But yes, caffeine can make anxiety worse. If you still need a boost, try matcha or green tea (and yes, quality does matter here!). I drink a cup of green tea every day. 🍵
Walk It Out
Yes, just walk. When you’re feeling stressed, taking a walk for 10 minutes can make a huge difference. Just do it!🚶♀️
Bonus Tips (I Wish I Knew Sooner…)
Laundry Like a Boss | Hate coming home to dirty laundry? Me too! I do all my laundry before heading back. Start on the second-to-last day of your trip. These Laundry Detergent Sheets are a game changer! No more laundry piles. 🧺 |
Grocery Game Plan | Empty fridge blues? Not anymore! I schedule a grocery pick-up or delivery for when I get back. 🛒 |
Bag It Up | This 8-Piece Packing Cube Set is a life-saver! Instead of tossing everything into my luggage, I organize. When I get home, it makes for easy unpacking. 🤩 |
Fresh Sheets, Fresh Start | Fresh sheets = happiness. I put on clean sheets before I leave and love these Hotel Luxury Extra Soft Cooling Bed Sheets. It’s like a little welcome home gift to myself! 💗 |
Pre-Trip Prep | Before leaving, I clean up, water the plants, empty the fridge, and give someone a spare key. Having someone check in for you while you’re away keeps your mind at ease. 🗝️ |
Thanks for being part of our amazing squad!
Stay tuned for more insights, surprise giveaways, and all the good stuff. 😉
See you next week! 🌟
