Tried + True: Featuring Miss Aimee from Mostly Mod

It is my absolute pleasure to introduce the latest guest blogger in my Tried + True series: the beautiful Miss Aimee from Mostly Mod. Her blog is one of my morning must-reads; it's such a fun peek into her creative life. It's full of great recipes, beautiful photos, fun projects and love for her family--inspiring in every possible way. I feel so honored that Miss Aimee would spend some time with us here today!

See, she's too cute! OK, now I'll shut up and give you Miss Aimee:

First let me start by saying I cracked up when sweet Christina asked me to participate in her Tried+True Series because I am as low maintenance as they get and I am not sure you will gain anything inspiring from this post....but I will give it a go!

(1) Let me start by saying Vaseline plays a huge part in my everyday. I use the Vaseline lip gloss all the time. I keep one in my car, one in my bag, one in my bathroom. I never have dry lips because I am always sure to have Vaseline on. I also use the Vaseline Aloe Fresh hydrating lotion to dab my occasional adult acne that in my late 30's I am finding it to be more common. But the aloe lotion really help my skin heal faster. And a total life saver is straight up Vaseline in the tube or jar(I keep those everywhere too)! I am always applying it generously under and around my eyes....under make up, over make up...all the time because I have noticed it helps with not getting wrinkles. Forget the expensive eye creams-all you need is Vaseline! Now that is a GREAT tip!

(2) I wash my face with sensitive skin Dove soap twice a day. In the past I have been sucked in to Estee Lauder or expensive treatments, and my face has broken out or been oily or dry so I always go back to Dove. And My face is soft and feels clean. Simple I know!

(3) For hair products I am a sucker for anything Toni and Guy, shampoo, conditioner...and The Bed Head Stick is a MUST have! I am known for my bandannas. I always put on a dew rag when I am not working or don't have time to do my hair. Again, with three kids this is pretty common.

(4) I use the Clinique face powder, eye liners, lip liners, touch tint for eyes...I love their products(not to heavy and affordable)

(5) My scent these days is CHILD. I love it.

(6) For mascara, I am grocery store mascara buyer. Whatever(same for lipsticks and glosses). I am using the Revlon Lash Fantasy now with the primer side and love it! Lipsticks, I just buy them at the grocery store all the time, always brown tones on the light side...natural.

(7) Sleep: huge beauty secret. I never get sleep. One day, one day!

Thank you, Miss Aimee. You are a true beauty--inside and out. I love these recommendations...especially the Vaseline for eye cream. I've been using it for years, and I love it. It's especially perfect for my sensitive skin. Every other eye cream I've tried burns, but Vaseline does the trick! I've tried and loved most of these products; but some are new to me. Today, I'm on a search to catch a whiff of that fragrance, and I'll also be looking for that that ever-elusive sleep. If Bryce comes home to find me napping mid-day, I'll just refer him to you, Miss Aimee. :)
