Skin Care
These are the products I go to for my skin care routine and regimin. I was in a fire in May 2025, so getting my skin back or even better is very important to me.
I am all about anything Medicube. My wife started using it and I saw such an immediate change in her skin that I jumped on board. I love using this in my self-care routine.
Medicube Zero Pore Pad
This is clinically proven to firm, hydrate, and renew skin while you sleep and I am a witness because it has done wonders for my skin. It's part of my self-care routine. It has helped my skin tremendously after getting burned in a fire.
Medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask
As I have said before, I love anything Medicube. This serum gave me clear, glowing skin in 2 weeks. It's a lightweight, hydrating serum helps improve uneven tone and boost elasticity for a firmer, more radiant complexion. This is also part of my self...
Medicubes PDRN Pink Peptide Serum
I use this mask once a week or when I have missed using the gel mask at night. This salmon PDRN gel mask is packed with powerful ingredients that hydrates my skin and provides a beautiful glow. I was amazed after using it for the first time. Must hav...
Medicubes PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask
This night wrapping mask is powered by Kojic Acid and Retinol to visibly reduce the look of dark spots and discoloration. My wife got this formula specifically for me because I have facial burns from being in a fire. The Turemric and Collagen have do...
Medicubes's Kojic Acid Turmeric Night Wrapping Mask
So, my wife uses this Medicube One Day Exosome Shot at 7500. It is an intensive pore-minimizing ampoule powered by 7,500 ppm Exosomes for visibly smaller pores, smoother texture, and stronger skin resilience. It has definitely worked for my wife. I w...
Medicube's One Day Exosome Shot 7500
Medicube's PDRN Pink Peptide Toner is a glow booster toner goes right along with the rest of my skin care regimin. I love everything Medicube because it has made such a difference in my and my wife's skin care and it feels so good!
PDRN Pink Peptide Toner
This is perfect for all GenX'ers because once you hit 40, things start to change. This serum is made to brighten, firm, and hydrate under-eyes. I'm becoming a big fan. This goes along with the self-care regimin I use every day.
PDRN Pink Peptide Eye Serum
Medicube's Mini Booster Pro is a portable glow booster for intensive soothing care for troubled skin. This little tool gives results almost instantly. Phenomenal.
White Mini Booster Pro for Skin Hydration
This gel feels so smooth and smells so good. It makes my self-care complete. Very good for dry melinated skin. I can feel the love as I rub it on. I also repeat self-affirming affirmations as I take care of my skin. It definitely raises my vibration....
Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Body Gel Oil
This stuff is amazing. I thought I was clean until I used this on my skin. It got so much dead skin off of my face, knees, pits and everywhere! Can you say 2 shades lighter?
Dr.Melaxin Body Exfoliator
Rose Water is something that I have been using for a while as a hydrating mist. I find it to be relaxing when I'm stressed out and it helps me to raise my vibration. Just one little skwirt and I feel refreshed. Definitely need something like this whe...
Rosewater & Glycerin Hydrating Mist
I just discovered this Medicube Jelly mist and it is fabulous. I have social anxiety and recently I had a book signing at an elementary school for my coloring books. I was pretty stressed out and my wife came up to me and spritzed my face with this j...
Medicube Jelly Mist Serum with Kojic Acid Turmeric
Hair Care
I started my Locs almost 4 years ago. I was not very good at taking care of it and having to do it everyday. My hair was damaged from home perms and lack of care. Now, I see my hair as my crown and taking care of it is part of loving ME! I am particu...
This is a loc gel that I used and it was lightweight but it did make my hair grow. I have used this a couple of times to help loc my hair and it worked well but is not as heavy as another that I use. It is good for growth and edges.
African Pride Black Castor Miracle
This is what I currently use to loc my hair. It's never failed me yet. It smells good and has extreme hold. It's the best loc gel I have found so far. Also, you don't really need a lot of it to loc and it's really smooth.
Braid and Loc Gel
This loc gel was made for African American hair. I really like all of their products. Again, this gel will not hold as strong as other brands but it has a good price point, smells good and has great ingredients.
Made For Locs Vegan Retwist Styling Gel
I really can't say enough about this product. I love this so much that I made my own TikTok video about it. I was surprised at how much the shampoo lathers and cleans. I expected that I would have to use the whole bottle to get my thick locs to lathe... Definitely a 10/10!!!
Bask and Lather Hair Care Set
All of the Bask and Lather products are great! So far, this is all I want to use on my locs and scalp.
Bask and Lather Scalp Stimulator and Hair Growth Oil
This is very good edge control. Makes my edges very smooth and lasts all day. I love Bask and Lather, especially the shampoo and conditioner.
Bask and Lather Edge Control
This is all you need to keep your hair soft and supple. I love taking care of my locs with this set. The products smell great and clean great as well. Make sure to get your set before your next self-care day.
Bask and Lather Wash Day Bundle
Make Up
I don't wear a lot of make up. I do, however, care about how I present and how it makes me feel. This list is curated based upon products that make me feel good on the inside and outside. :)
This brow tattoo is so easy to use. It will last for about 3 days if you don't wash it off and it dries really fast. I love the way it looks while I try to get my eyebrows to grow in naturally. It definitely gives a self-esteem boost.
Maybelline Tattoo Brow Peel Off Semi-Permanent Eyebrow Tint
I put this on my list because it is made with 3 hydrating butters: cocoa, shea, and avocado. That deep conditioning protects your lips for day-or-night treatment. My lips are my favorite feature so they have to be supple and I love and the watermelon flavor is wonderful. :)
Eos 24HR Moisture Super Balm- Watermelon
I'm using the tattoo brow until my brows and lashes grow in and this is making it happen.
Bask and Lather Volume Eyebrow and Eyelash Serum
Aromatherapy
These are some of the smells that I try to surround myself with to give me peace and pleasure. I like to keep my environment peaceful and free of negative energy.
I love this scent! I use it as a body oil, to make candles and body butters. I have some great memories with this fragrance! IYKYK!!! :)
Egyptian Musk Fragrance
I like to keep my environment free of negative energies. I use sage and chakra smudges to keep my space clean and fresh. This is a monthly ritual for me and part of my self-care routine.
7 Sage Smudge Kit with Blue Sage, Chakra Flower Sage, Cedar, Dragon's Blood, Rosemary, Yerba Santa, Palo Santo
Sandlewood has always been one of my favorite fragrances. It reminds me of my childhood and gives me comfort.
Genieco Extra Rich Incense Sticks, Sandalwood Fragrance
Lavender is such as soothing and relaxing smell. It helps me relax and sleep as well. The mix of the lavender and cedar is especially soothing. Use this when your house or life feels in chaos.
Cedar & Lavender Scented Wax Melts
Emotional Support Pet
Ripp is my emotional support pet, and I love him dearly. I got him during COVID as soon as he was weaned. We made it through together. Now he's all grown up and my comfort and constant companion. I'm always looking for things to keep him entertained ...
Ripp is my emotional support animal. He is fabulous and I wouldn't have made it through the pandemic without him. His favorite treat is the Chicken Delectable. I love the way he will make a beeline towards me when he sees that red pack come out of my...
Hartz Delectables Squeeze Up Tuna
Pretty Litter is the best cat litter I have ever come across. I love how lightweight it is and I have never had problem with a smell. I also found that it is cheaper to get it on a subscription. That way, I never find myself waiting for it. Ripp like...
PrettyLitter Cat Litter
This is Ripp's favorite dry cat food. I've tried several different kinds but he seems to eat this the best. I like that it has gravy flavors and is very affordable comparatively.
Friskies Gravy Swirlers Chicken & Salmon Flavor Dry Cat Food
This is Ripp's newest Cat Condo. We get a new condo everytime we move so this is his 3rd one. He likes this one a lot because it is taller than his last one and he likes to be up high so he can be nosy. :) I like that it has the scratching post all t...
61-in Multi-Level Cat Tree-Light Gray
Temptations are the very first treats that Ripp had as a kitten. He loves them and we have been rocking with them ever since. His favorite are the Catnip but I do switch it around to the Chicken and Birthday sometimes. He likes them all though. It's ...
Temptations MixUps Catmas Casserole
This is one of the first toys that Ripp had as a kitten. I miss those days. :) He has now lost interest in it because he would rather chase the red dot, but it used to give him hours of pleasure.
Tower of Tracks Cat Toy
Ripp loved this toy so much that I bought 3 of them. I bought so many because I would leave him playing with is toy and then it would get lost under the couch or somewhere and die and I couldn't find it. I bought another one and then found the last o...
Chirp & Chase Motion Activated Cat Ball
This is another one of Ripp toys that he actually played with. He really liked this toy until it got broken in a move. I may get him another one because he did spend a lot of time with it and it kept him interested.
Ambush Interactive Electronic Cat Toy
Ripp doesn't have the floppy fish yet but I am so excited to get them for him for Christmas. I don't know who is going to have more fun, him catching them or me filming him catching them. :)
Floppy Fish Cat Toy
This is a great toy. Ripp loves it as well. I can sit this on the table and watch him zoom all over the room trying to catch the red dot. When he gets tired, he still likes to just sit and watch it. I have made sooo many videos of him chasing this do...
