The curly hair industry is difficult to navigate. Products that make your hair even drier than before, others that make your hair fall out & even some that create more frizz than you originally had! I've spent thousands of pounds on hair care & tried many products, so here are my current favs - I'll be continuously updating this list.

My favorite hair care products that I swear by and have used to bring my hair back to great health. From current products I am using to my OG faves that always go back to.

This list is composed of all of my makeup, skincare, hair care products, and beauty tools and accessories. I also include low maintenance at home beauty treatments for those girlies on a budget (like me).

Personal Care items that I love and work for me as a sensitive skin girlie!

I love a natural glowy makeup look and these products listed below are some of my fav brands and items. Hope you love them just as much as i do

Switching from regular makeup I'd just pick up randomly to stuff that actually works for me totally changed how I think about looking good. For ages, I’d buy whatever was around, but it never quite felt right on my skin — and I’d end up fidgeting with it all day instead of feeling good. When I finally found products that match my skin tone and feel comfortable, things got so much better. Makeup doesn’t feel like a hassle anymore; now it’s just a way to feel put-together and like I’m showing off the best version of myself.
