From my #ForTheClueless series: these are my top picks for anyone new to makeup who just needs the essentials. You’ll notice a lot of Danessa Myricks. I love her products for both beginners and pros because they’re so versatile and multi-use, which is one of my favorite things

I love fragrances that feel calm and warm. So, creamy vanilla, soft musks, and florals that makes you and other people think you have your life together.

When I sit down on my vanity these are the the things I naturally graviate towards.

Everything I use to stay fresh all day; soft skin, light scent, and odor control

These are all non-ashy, white cast sunscreens I wear throughout the year

I don't do too much when it comes to my hair. I feel like less is more with my hair given that it is extremely fragile.

When I want to protect my hair underneath this is what I usually go for.

I’ve loved press-ons since I was younger, and now? They’ve gotten so good. Especially with how expensive salon visits are these days. With the right prep, mine last up to 3 weeks, and most sets give me two full manicures. I stopped going to the salon years ago. I just can’t sit there that long 🥴

Since 2020 I can NOT wear tight jeans and pants so these are very comfortable and you can dress them up and down.

For my fellow girlies who feel like hibernating once the sun sets at 4pm. These are the cozy things, little movements, and small joys that help me survive (and sometimes even enjoy) the seasonal slump. I included some of my YouTube videos for gentle movement days, plus the comfort items that keep me feeling human when everything feels gray.
