I have always struggled with my weight and I have talked about it a lot on FashionShyChild. During this past year now, I have noticed a big difference in my weight and not in a great way. I know a lot of you all can relate that this pandemic and quarantine has opened your eyes to a lot of things. Don't get me wrong, some things have been great and a good wake-up call and learning experiences. But I know focusing on the positives for just my mental health has let me forget about eating right and getting the exercise I need. Let's just start from the begging of the pandemic and quartine. Durin ..read more

 These products were sent to me complimentary from Influenster I went from being the person who knew their skin and what worked for it. To become all confused because it changes every day. I guess you can say I'm on a long road to finding my holy grail products again. But I'm a trooper who has an open mind and testing new products is something I enjoy. I know the dermatologist out there are probably cringing right now but let's talk about these 5 products I'm testing at the moment and loving. (to be completely transparent, I have been testing these products for over two months) Garnier ..read more

Hello! My name is Cortney and in today's video, I will be sharing my January 2021 TBR. These are the book I will be reading this month. There is a bit of a theme because these are also books that I haven't finished or DNFed. I really just want to get these books read, so if I don't like them I can get rid of them. I hope you enjoy it! ❤️?

Shirt: Target | Bottoms: Target | Shoes: Nike | Jacket: Vintage (my dads) Happy 2021!  I can't believe it's a New Year again. But it's a great time to have a fresh positive start. Iv learned a lot in 2020  and I will be sharing more information/details with you in a later post. That being said this is my first post back from my long disappearance. I still feel bad for being gone but I feel like my energy is better now.  When it comes to my outfit, my style is still the same Urban City Kid. I have been obsessed with two things though. One being this vintage jacket that used ..read more

(photo from Casual Brand Statement) I decied to take some time out and do this post answering your most asked questions. Iv recently discovered that my blog comments was set to approval and that being said i didn't get a chance to answer the questions you all have been asking. Im so very sorry about that. But when there is a negative, there is always a positive and that's how i want to look at this situation.  Most of the questions where predominantly the same type of questions. I also decided to go to Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat to ask if anyone had questions to be answere ..read more

I can't believe it's the 20th of October already! I know everyone that you see has probably mentioned how this year is flying by so fast, but it really is. In the midst of everyone talking about the Election and Voting, I myself have been on a Harry Potter binge. Don't get me wrong I am a registered voter and have already voted. But since that is done for now I want to hope on Hogwarts Express and just try to enjoy this holiday we have coming. Do you know what you going to be for Halloween and is Halloween still happening where you live? When it comes to my outfit everything is basically fro ..read more

In Partnership with Firmoo, but all opinions are my own. When it comes to wearing glasses, having a stylish pair is everything to me. Glasses are my number one main accessory because let's face it, I wear them 24/7 (not when I'm sleeping and showering of course). Another thing that's also important is having multiple pairs because accidents happen. I decided to partner with Firmoo since the glasses I have been wearing non-stop and you have seen in all of my recent posts have been from them. I can already tell you from experience their glasses are very high quality for an affordable price a ..read more

Working out during this time has been a bit of a struggle for me. I go from being super motivated to work out, eat healthily, and losing this weight to putting myself down and feeling like a complete failure when the scale doesn't show much of an improvement. I know this time isn't the right time to be super hard on myself, but if I don't I know things can get out of control really fast. I have taken the time to pull out the workout clothes I do have, download my favorite healthy apps, and made sure I have a great cardio workout channel bookmarked. So my mornings look something like this ..read more

Hey, fellow shy children. So, I have noticed that Dollar Tree Beauty Test is one of your favorite things to read on FashionShyChild. Am I right? (if I'm not we will figure all that out later) Well, I have brought it back! That being said you should expect some more post testing out beauty products I find at Dollar Tree. It can be a hit or miss depending on what's available. Anyways, during this trip, I was actually looking for something to help with keeping moisture in my hair. My hair has been so dry lately and its really to the point that I don't know what to do. It has also been very ho ..read more
