Gimmick or the real deal? Face Sculpting/Wrapping

I think it is real. I say this from personal experience and use. There are a number of ways to do face sculpting – face yoga, gua sha, lymphatic drainage, which generally includes fingers and oil, and one of my favorites, just because of the ease, face wrapping. I think that this trend started in Korea, but I am not really sure. There is evidence that this is mostly related to post-op care, and Korea is VERY big into plastic surgery, but I’m all for anything that makes taking care of myself (both internally and externally, easy).

Reusable face wraps went so viral when SKIMS released their version earlier this year, but I found mine at Marshalls many years ago. I’m gonna be honest, doesn’t seem like many doctors are in favor of these. I like the one I have, however, the wrap has loosened over the years from hasty application prior to bed. I think that when combined with eating healthy, working out, and lymphatic drainage, it has great benefit.

What do you all think? Trendy accessory or beneficial? I got mine for about 4 dollars – I think it is time for a new one as it has stretched out over the years. I don’t want to spend 50+ dollars on this type of item, so I’ll do more research before a splurge like this one. One thing that I really like about the Kardashians is that they do their best to make parts of their lifestyles more accessible to the public when it comes to the beauty arena. There are similar ones on Alibaba and Shein. I’ll probably give this one a try soon.

I’m going to give this a thumbs up as a Nelliel Approved beauty tool.

Ft. Bliss – Nike Bliss Joggers/Trousers

I am the type of person that likes to go from work wear to gym wear very easily. I do think that the switch is generally easy enough, but should I ever find myself in a rush, the Nike Bliss Pant Jogger Trouser combo is helps me to get through. I’d really like to think that very few people even notice that I’m wearing fitness pants to work – and I wear them, A LOT. They are so comfy, chic, and remind me of the skinny pant of yesteryear, but better, of course.

The lovely wide band at the waist, allowing for the ultimate waist high trousers, the peak-a-boo ankles (pairing perfectly with the pointy toed flats, I love), a long with a crisp white shirt is always a win. After work, I can change my top and sneakers and run off to the gym. As someone that relies on public transport mostly, this allows for much more ease. The gym bag and the work bag were just too much.

A few years ago, there were a few reports on the pants being badly made (I.e. the back seams were reopening), however, I have not had any such issue. They go perfectly from workwear to gym wear without issue.

I’m unable to link to them for some reason, but check them out. They are currently in stock on Nike.com and Dicks Sporting Goods. Old Navy has some budget friendly dupes, too.
