First PR Ever💌
This is where it really began for me. My very first PR wasn’t just about free products — it marked the start of learning what actually works for my skin. It shaped my routine and still holds a special place in my creator journey.
My very first PR package ever 💌 — Bubble’s Slam Dunk moisturizer! I got it after being accepted into their ambassador program (they approved me in under 24 hours when I had just 450-ish followers on Instagram). Since it’s not global, I used a forwar...

Forms & Wins 📧
Not every PR package magically shows up in your inbox — sometimes you’ve got to spot the right form, send in your details, and take a chance. These are the wins that came from me putting myself out there, filling applications, and crossing my fingers...
COSRX sent me a full box with their best-sellers — Snail 96 Essence, Snail Cream, Snail Eye Cream — plus their new 6 Peptide Serum. I’ve worked them all into my routine: the Snail Mucin hasn’t done much for me, but the rest are working really well on...
ALL ABOUT SNAIL KIT 4-step
I spotted Bonajour’s reviewer call on Instagram and applied through their form. I was thrilled to be selected for their April event and received their Ginger Shot Serum & Cream — a vegan calming duo with 60% ginger water designed for sensitive sk...
NATURAL COSMETICS, BONAJOUR
This collab was such a rollercoaster 😅. I applied through a form and got accepted, but because I’m based in Ghana and had to use a forwarding address, the package got to me wayyy later than the campaign deadline. Even though I ended up posting late,...
Treehut's Moroccan Rose Shave Set
I joined Byroe’s tester panel after spotting their announcement on Threads and filling out the form. The process included signing an NDA, and after the testing period I received a gift card to shop on their site. I picked up their cleanser, which I n...
Avocado Renewal 2-in-1 Cleanser & Exfoliator
🌸 PR With a Personal Touch
Some brands just get it. These PR packages weren’t only about what was inside — they carried warmth, thoughtfulness, and the kind of details that made me feel genuinely cared for as a creator. From handwritten letters to surprise treats, these are th...
This PR package honestly made me feel so seen 💌. Pretty Girl University sent me a curated box with a handwritten letter (still can’t get over that detail 🤍), a super comfy branded tee (wearing it as I type this 😂), a notebook, pink pen, stickers, ...
Pretty Girl University
This has to be one of the most thoughtful PR packages I’ve ever received. A handwritten note in an envelope with my name on it (cue tears 🥹), plus cheesecake and yogurt straight from Seoul?? Like, who does that! On top of the sweetness, they sent me...

Inside the Brand Circles 🌐
These are the perks that came from being part of a brand’s inner community — whether through ambassador programs or reward systems. From early PR drops to exclusive gifts, it’s the kind of PR that feels extra special because it comes from being part ...
Bubble came through right on time with this one — just as my Slam Dunk ran out. Honestly, the timing couldn’t have been better. It’s lightweight, works so well for my skin, and definitely something I’d repurchase if I run out again.
Cloud Surf
This serum has been such a quiet little hero in my routine. I’ve been using it about three times a week for the past month, and it’s actually helped with the uneven tone I was dealing with. Definitely one of those products that makes me glad I stuck ...
Day Dream
This one came through Topicals’s TYB community where I’m a Close Friend (Level 3). After finishing at the top of their leaderboard for April, I was sent their Slather Exfoliating Body Serum as a reward. I love how Topicals makes community involvement...
Slather Exfoliating Body Serum
I didn’t expect this at all! I was part of the very first set of members in the Billie Community on TYB and completed their first challenge. In return, they sent over a PR box — which I haven’t unboxed yet, but it’s literally so cute, I don’t think I...
All Products
I was thrilled to be part of Nette’s TYB testing community and receive a sample of their newest eau de parfum, Lemon Puff. The scent is such a delight — think lemon groves at sunrise, torched meringue, and Parisian bakery vibes all in one spritz. 🌞�...
Lemon Puff Eau de Parfum
A little while after Lemon Puff, Nette sent over their Fragrance Discovery Set through the same TYB community program. I was so excited to explore the new scents — each one feels like a tiny moment of happiness captured in a bottle. 🍋✨ Being part of...
Nette Fragrance Discovery Set
I was pleasantly surprised when Koba Skincare sent me samples out of the blue! Being part of their TYB community clearly has its perks. 💌 I haven’t tried them yet, but I’ll be sharing my thoughts on Instagram once I do — stay tuned for the glow-up!
KOBA skincare - Award Winning Skincare For Lasting Hydration
In July, I received a PR package through the Frilliance TYB community — a mystery pink clip bundle! 💖 Delivery on their end was smooth, but my forwarding service has been a bit slow 😅, so I’m still waiting to get my hands on it. Can’t wait to unbox...
HIC Clips Collective × Frilliance 🎀
Pinch Me PRs 🫶
These are the moments that make me do a double take — the PRs that arrived because I pitched, connected, or got lucky, not from a form or community program. Each package feels like a little “pinch me, is this real?” moment in my creator journey.
This one landed in my DMs — literally. Trymooshi reached out and sent me their Mega Mushroom Mix gummies, and even worked around shipping since I’m Ghana-based. I’m not the best at taking supplements daily (I maybe reach for them once or twice a week...
Try Mooshi Mega Mix Gummies
I pitched Boost Balm on Instagram and was thrilled when they sent me a PR package! 💌 My forwarding service is being tricky 😤, so I haven’t received it yet, but I’m counting down the days until it arrives. Can’t wait to dive in and test everything! ...
