I gave up on spending a fortune at the nail salon getting my nails and toes done. It started seeming like a chore and wasn’t happy with how my nails were shaped by someone else 50% of the time.

I have very sensitive skin and more on the dry side! These are great options for you!

My favorite hair care products! Hair type: - medium thickness - wavy - permed and colored in the past - medium oiliness (could go 1-2 days without washing but I don’t like to) - loooooong (almost down to my hips :/ grew it out for the wedding) - layered - not much dryness/dandruff but definitely gets itchy from time to time - tractional alopecia around the temples - would love to have fuller, more voluminous hair

I’m honestly of the opinion the more glitter, the more sparkle the better. Here are some of my favorite beauty recommendations that will add some razzzle dazzzle to your final makeup look ✨✨✨

I started my tretinoin journey about a year ago and have had to learn so much. My skin is pretty dry for starters, so it was a little uncomfortable at times. These are some items that have helped me survive tret and I’m happy to say I’m coming out on the other side now (hopefully). I like to use a gentle and clean cleanser. You really don’t want anything that will irritate your skin, so try to avoid fragrances in your products. I think the disposable face towels are entirely underrated. They are honestly necessary so you aren’t reintroducing bacteria onto your skin. I also like the personal day spray to reinforce this. I use a few different moisturizers depending on the time of day and what issues I am having. Cerave is always a safe bet, but never skip SPF during the day! I like to use some serums for brightening and hydration as well. I am always experimenting with new ones, so these can change sometimes. I use aquaphor on dry patches and sometimes under my makeup if I need it.

I'm not terribly big on make-up, but I am a sucker for a good skincare routine, and a nice everything shower!

I've been natural my whole life lol like literally no perm and no chemicals until last year when I dyed my hair for highlights. My daughter is also natural. So here are the products I've used over the years for our hair!

Great hair products and styling tools to elevate your wash day routine. I have pretty fine, wavy, hair and I found these products work well for me. If your hair has been looking a little… tired? Flat? Giving “I tried” instead of “I glowed”? This list is for you. These are the products that take hair from meh to super glossy. Think glosses, oils, masks, and styling heroes that boost shine without making your hair greasy, heavy, or crunchy. I find these really work even for oily hair and my hair has never been more soft and smooth

As someone who has bleach in hair as well as coarse hair these products have made my hair the healthiest and softest ever!! I’ve been using these products for months now and can truly say I have perfected my hair routine 🎀💆🏻‍♀️✨
