Blog — A Girl Called george

Today I wanted to discuss my workout routine and how I went from not working out at all to enjoying working out multiple times a week! First, I think I need to debunk the perceived notion that a "work out" has to be the intense lifting of 70lbs weights and running 12 miles. There is nothing less motivating than telling yourself that's how it has to be. "Working out" is simply getting out and moving in order to feel better afterward and to keep your body healthy. "Working out" can be hiking in the mountains, like my mom, doing yoga with your friends, or even dancing for an hour!

My Tactics for Fighting Acne

Today, I wanted to discuss a matter I'm sure we'd all wish we could avoid...acne. Since I've been through the pimple-filled teen years and lived to tell the tale, I thought I would share some things I've learned along the way. A couple years into my twenties now, I've realized that the occasional occurrence of spots is here to stay. This my go-to arsenal for keeping those pesky spots in check.

Winter Skin Survival Tips

I hope you're all doing well and enjoying a bit of cool weather for a change! Personally winter is my favorite time of the year. I love the holidays, cozy nights in with fuzzy blankets and hot cocoa, and of course SNOW, but the one thing I don't enjoy is dry skin, which is a nearly unavoidable winter symptom.

So I've compiled a few little tips and products for keeping your skin glowing and healthy even on the chilliest of days.

Healthy Skin is Happy Skin

Today I wanted to talk about how important it is to take care of your skin and to do that, I have some new products from Cremé Simon. I've honestly been enjoying these products so much. They both and look and smell incredible. (Their scent is hard to describe, but it's one of my favorites. I would say it's very fresh and floral.)

Embellishing the Basics

Thanks for joining me again, for another style post. If any of you were missing your weekly style post after yesterday's beauty post, here you go!

For this post, I wanted to talk about some simple ways you can jazz up a basic outfit. By basics, I mean clothes we probably all have in our closet and probably wear constantly, like a classic pair of jeans or a graphic tee. Of course we love these basics for a reason, but sometimes they can be little boring without some embellishing. So, I've come up with some easy ways to spice up a simple look.

My Drugstore Favorites

I thought I'd do a cheeky little beauty post this week since I haven't done one in a while. I hope you guys enjoy it!

One of my favorite things is finding drugstore products that actually work, and I think everyone can appreciate saving a bit. Obviously, high-end products usually take the cake when it come to make-up, but occasionally a drugstore product can live up to it's quality cousins.
