I use this as a pre shampoo treatment. My hair loves it. The oil also feels sooo good on the skin. It’s truly a multi purpose oil.
A bit pricy but I don’t compromise on the health of my hair:)
MONAT REJUVENIQE Oil - Hair & Skin 30ml
This shampoo is great. My hair is the healthiest it’s ever been.
The price may be a little bit pricey, however a little goes a long way and the bottle does last a very long time. I couple this with the rejuv oil by Monat as well.
MONAT Renew Shampoo w/Rejuveniqe® 237ml
I was tired of the nail damage from other methods like acrylics and gels, so Glamrdip became my go-to. The process takes about 1.5 hours, and the key is to go really thin on the base so the finish isn’t bulky. The nails turn out shiny, smooth, and la...

This makes my skin glow bright. I highly recommend it if you struggle with dull skin.

I get facials done here. I really like that they take their time with extractions. I walk out with glowing skin. The best part is the prices are reasonable compared to other Spas in the city.
Leela Boutique - Bridgeland
Hunter does an amazing job with my Brazilian wax. She gets me in and out in less than 20 minutes, leaving everything smooth and perfectly cared for. I love how effortless and precise the experience is. I go home excited to make my husband feel the sm...
Waxcetera
My eyebrows love it here. I switch between the Marda Loop and Chinook locations because I only let Naghme Moradi touch my brows. SHE IS AMAZING.
Lavoom Salon - Brow & Lash Artistry at Marda Loop
I love getting my hair washed and scalp massaged by Meke. It feels like a mini spa moment.

Connie is not super active on socials, but she does know how to start and take care of locs. She started my locs and I’ve been with her ever since. She is meticulous in her work, and very professional. Hit her up on IG.

I am absolutely in love with the “Unsweetened” liquid blush. It’s perfect for my skin tone:) check out how it looks on me!
Strobe Beam Liquid Blush - Unsweetened
This is my favorite mascara. It does not smear, not even when you are trying to take it off. It won’t leave you looking like a Panda. Trust!

This foundation gives me medium coverage and a dewy finish, perfect for everyday wear
