Briogeo Hair Care
I use this brands hair oil daily. It tames my flyaways and keeps my hair smooth in my pony tail.

Honey Infused Hair Oil
I wash my hair 2-3 times a week max. But sometimes when life’s running away from it’s just easier to use dry shampoo. I’ve dried many and never liked them- then my aunt told my to try this. And now I’ve found my goto. It doesn’t weigh my hair down an...
GRO Dry Shampoo | Cruelty-Free & Vegan

Facial Stuff
The skincare products I've been handed, recommended, or practically lectured into trying over the years — the kind of things women quietly keep buying for decades because they deliver.
Green clean gets all my makeup off without turning my skin red and irritated afterwards. I have very sensitive skin with eczema and it is hard to find removers that work on my skin.

This was the most recent brand that I sampled. Everything felt luxurious and was gentle on my skin

Brighten Up 3% TXA Toner

Body Skin Care
Body care that feels comforting, useful, and a little nostalgic. These are the lotions, oils, soaps, and scrubs that make everyday routines feel more like taking care of yourself instead of rushing through life.
I hate it when I’m pale but I was terrified to try a self-tanner. My aunt recommended this because she said it was easy to apply. She told me the steps. And I tried it- she was right. I didn’t get streaks or have one part of my body darker than anoth...
St.Tropez Self Tan Suprême Violet Mousse 200ml

The scents tied to memories, personalities, and “you smell good, what is that?” moments. Some soft and comforting, some bold enough to enter the room before you do.
This is the first perfume my aunts gave me to up my scent game. It was my signature scent for my 20's. Never knew that a quality perfume could make a difference until this one.

As I've gotten older, my aunts have no problem telling me when I need to get a new scent to my perfume collection. Chloe is definitely a goto!
