As I become more and more obsessed (in a healthy way!) with my skincare coming into my 30's, I'm trying and perfecting a perfect skin care routine for that baby-smooth-glass-or-glazed-donut if you will look✨ I'll also include my favourite makeup staples (and new finds!) and the keys to long, healthy, smooth hair (that I've tried to achieve for years- and finally have!) So basically, me getting my shit together (and trying a million products that didn't work so you don't have to) is going to benefit you greatly… have a look! 🙃
A compilation of all my favorite beauty products! I like to keep things low maintenance and simple when it comes to my skin & makeup. These are my true holy grail items!
Curly hair can be hard to maintain, keep moisturized, and soft, but don't fret because I have the ultimate list of products that are going to have your curls looking and feeling amazing!
Starting serums can feel overwhelming, especially if you're dealing with oiliness breakouts, dark spots, or uneven skin tone. This list feature beginner-friendly serums that are easy to use, effective, and suitable for melanin-rich skin. From hydration to brightening and oil control, these are solid starter options for building a simple skincare routine.
These are my go to hairtools, skincare and makeup products!
I keep a fairly minimalist make up look so the quality of the product is incredibly important! I've been using all these products for years and theyre staples in my routine.
Every Friday I set aside time for a full self-care routine. This is my night to deeply cleanse, hydrate, and pamper my skin with treatments I don't use every day, leaving my skin refreshed for the weekend.
moving from dallas to both colorado and illinois was a SHOCK to my system inside and out. these saved me when moving to these DRY COLD GLOOMY PLACE but love them with my whole heart. staying moisturized is the key for feeling rejuvenated in the frigid weather
These are higher-priced skincare products that I genuinely find worth the cost. I don’t splurge often, but when I do, it’s for products that deliver noticeable results, multitask, or offer benefits beyond basic drugstore options. I have a background working in a dermatologist’s office, so these picks are chosen for performance—not hype.
As a dry skin fella I hardly find products to make my makeup look amazing without being ashy or cakey, that’s why I want to share my secrets with you
When I get ready I’m usually out for many hours so I need my makeup to LAST, and this combo usually helps really well
Hope I can help some y’all :)
I have the most sensitive skin out there which makes it hard being an athlete and sweating a lot. These products have been life savers for my breakouts and helping calm my skin. I also have an allergy to benzoyl peroxide which is found in many over the counter acne products. The products I recommend do not include this ingredient, are great for dry sensitive skin, and have helped me find amazing results with clearing my breakouts
If you're struggling with dry/frizzy hair and curls that fall out, this list will help so much. I love soft, bouncy hair, and these products can achieve that! For reference, I have 3A/3B curls!
This List will be separated into two section labeled morning and night. Follow the steps chronologically for the best routine for your skin! These products are great for acne prone and sensitive skin warriors!
I don't wear much make-up so what I do wear you'll find here. From protection to tinted lips, I have a bit of everything.

I am NOT a skincare specialist. I can't give advice I just share what I've used based on what me and my esthi have come up with after SO MUCH trial and error. I highly rec'd going to see an esthetician before adding any of these items into your routine. We worked really hard to lighten up my dark spots, even my skin tone, moisturize my skin and manage my acne. (I'll tell you the biggest influence was changing my diet--whew). If you can go see a professional, I highly rec'd Brandy Watkins Beauty (Milwaukee, WI--link below)I've also included some of my favorite items for taking care of the rest of my skin and body as well. I'm allergic to artificial fragrance, sensitive to too much heat, and my skin is eczema and acne prone.

Take a slow breath and romanticize your everyday routine.🌸 Here are my favorite self-care items that help me stay calm, cozy and creative - perfect for slow mornings or peaceful evenings.
I've been religiously doing my nails once a week since I was ~10 years old. I even used to do nail art. Now that I'm a young adult, I still refuse to spend money on manicures that cost a fortune because I know I can do a better job. I have a pretty crazy nail polish collection by this point, since nail polish lasts pretty much forever. It takes very long to finish a bottle so I'd say it's totally worth it. I almost exclusively use Essie products for my nails, so I have like every colour. It's an obsession really.

Every one of these I swear by to get rid of those pesky skin bumps and say hello to smooth clear skin ✨
This list of makeup products are all ones that I’ve used that are so easy to use, they’re practically full proof. I’m talking easy to blend, not patchy, and not too pigmented where it can easily get away from you. If you’ve ever over applied blush, you’ll understand the pain.
Yep, I am the one that tries it ALL. Some products I'm going to add are super inexpensive (drug store stuff will surprise you!), some are mid range and others are pricier (but they have only made the list because they worth the splurge). These are my game changers - enjoy!!

I'm a creative entrepreneur constantly jumping between design work, video calls, and content creation. My makeup needs to look polished on camera and last through the entire day without me thinking about it. Tarte is the brand I keep coming back to because their formulas perform AND feel good on my skin. These are my ride-or-die picks, from the concealer I never skip to the lip products that survive my third cup of coffee. Try one and you'll understand the obsession!
Sun, chlorine, and salt water do a number on you by August. This is my fall reset: barrier-repair moisturizers, bond-repair hair treatments, gentle exfoliation for texture, richer body care, and the SPF you still need in September. Mostly drugstore and K-beauty, with a couple of splurges that earned it.
The struggle to shade match, be budget friendly, and maintain healthy skin is real, especially for women of color. Elf has expanded its shade range and coverage options to be more inclusive without needing a loan!
