Fresh Face + Giveaway
Hi!
It’s Wednesday. Half way through the week with my eye on that Saturday prize.
On Monday, I headed to downtown Baltimore for an amazing facial. If you guys have never head of the Hydra Facial, it’s a top of the line experience!
I suffer from hormonal breakouts, and I also sweat a lot since I’m always in the gym. Never did I think I’d be dealing with acne at 30. But anyway, I scheduled an appointment at The QG in Baltimore for my facial. What a cool place! It was very “old cigar club” meets “new hipster”. I definitely was not expecting that when I walked in.
I was taken upstairs to the HydraFacial room. This machine is what all the celebrities use! It helps with all types of skin including reducing fine lines, unclogging pores, and brightening up the skin.
It is similar to a small suction tube that allows product to flow through then also takes the bacteria out! The best part is that it’s 30 minutes for a treatment. In and out. My esthetician Ariel was fabulous and walked me through all the steps.
The fourth step was probably my favorite because the machine hydrates your skin beautifully. It’s amazing how much water the skin will take in if you hydrate it correctly. My skin soaked it right up! I walked out with baby soft skin, a glowing complexion, and felt so refreshed!
They even provided me with some goodies to maintain. And I have a set for a reader too!
In here you will find:
- Antiox+ : An advanced antioxidant serum enriched with peptides and hyaluronic acid to firm and tone your skin. Use it immediately after washing your face
- UV Smart Daily Sunscreen- Broad spectrum SPF 40 UVA/UVB. Loaded with transparent zinc oxide and antioxidant enriched hyaluronic acid to protect against sun exposure.
PUPPY NOT INCLUDED 😉
To win this prize pack please comment below with your weekend plans. I’m so excited because for the first time ever Tony and I are going on a small day/night trip by ourselves! We have never done that before. Always with friends or something. Little couples road trip. Nothing fancy. Just sun and my guy. Oh and you know I’m waiting on that meal I get on Saturday 🙂
Contest is open to all readers worldwide, 18 and over. Limit one entry per e-mail address. Contest ends Wednesday August 4, 2015 @ 10pm eastern time. Winner will be chosen by random number generator on Thursday August 5, 2015. More specific contest rules here.
As you can see this stuff did wonders on my skin. Later that day…
So hydrated! Yes I need to do my eyebrows… whoops.
Even the next morning.
Never did I think I’d be showing an untouched, close up, no makeup picture to the world, but I feel great!
I’m out for the day. Don’t forget to comment below. Good luck!
XOXO With a Cherry On Top,

My Weekend Plans: I live in Chapel Hill, NC. My boyfriend and I are planning to explore Durham, NC all day Saturday, and I am so excited! In the morning we will probably stop by the farmers market – then we will begin the exploration! One of the restaurants we are planning to stop by used to be a bank, and our plan is to grab a drink and do a self tour of the old vault, which they have converted to a lounge (how cool!). Sunday will be low key. We are planning to head to my parents’ for dinner. Overall, just planning to spend time with the bae.
I recently started following you on snap chat! I am a big fan of your blog. Enjoy your bae adventure and cheat meal this weekend!

I used to live in Durham. The Duke gardens are beautiful to walk through if something like that interests you. Also, Dame’s Chicken and Waffles is amazing. It’s definitely not healthy but the food is such a treat. Have a great weekend!
Ashley
My fiance and I are going on our long run this Saturday (training for a half marathon in October), likely followed by an hour or two at the climbing gym, and then a lift and food prep on Sunday. We’ll probably work on some wedding planning stuff in the evenings, and hopefully get some quality outside playtime with our 10 year old dog, Roxy. She really enjoys her new kiddie pool! Oh, and I have to stop by work for an hour or two both days (womp womp).
