Update

I think this will be my first update post since I don't usually share much about my personal life. I mostly write product reviews and giveaways, therefore, I wanted to incorporate more personal blog posts.  I'm also in the process of a blog makeover and wanted to make some changes! 
I started beauty school a couple months ago. I'm currently studying to become an Esthetician. So far, I am loving school. Learning about waxing and different facial treatments has definitely increased my interest in skincare products! I'm obsessed with discovering new product lines that I've never heard of before starting school.
I've changed up my entire skincare routine to reflect all the good stuff I've been taught during school. I'll also update on that in another post!

With that being said, don't be surprised if you see a lot more blog updates about school and beauty products. Like I said, it has become an obsession. :)

Day By Day Beauty Facial Blotting Paper

I have combination skin - Normal/Oily. Since starting school last month for Esthetics (I'll update you in another blog post), I've learned so much about the skin. Did you know you're born with your skin type? It's true!

The terrible truth about my skin is that it gets oily before noon. *sad face*

I'm currently using Facial Blotting Paper from Day By Day Beauty to remove excess oil and shine. It has been my go-to beauty product. I've even shared it with the girls in my class.

The blotting paper is made from natural pulp fiber and comes in packs of 100 sheets. I love that the packs are slim because they don't take up much space and can easily be stored anywhere, even your pocket.

Day By Day Beauty Facial Blotting Papers do not interfere with your makeup so you can use it anytime without having to worry. They are simple to use - just blot it on the parts of your face where you want to remove oil or shine and discard it.

Use as many as you want! The packs will probably last you for months before you have to reorder.

Here's what the sheet looks like after blotting:
