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!

These are beauty items I use every day. Read what I have to say about each one, as a woman in her 60's.

Here are my all time fave skincare essentials and mind you, my skin has lots of texture from acne scarring but let me tell you these products are my go to so the skin is soft and scarring is less visible and it just makes me feel soo good.

Are you looking for that clear and flawless skincare and makeup routine? Well here's my perfect routine that makes me feel like a model!

With countless skincare options out there, it's easy to get overwhelmed. But when it comes to healthy, glowing skin, simplicity often wins. Focusing on a few effective products tailored to your needs can make all the difference - because less truly can be more. The list will not look very “simple” haha but I'll list multiple options and all these products aren't used together! Here's what I use as someone with dry, sensitive, and acne-prone skin! I hope it helps you as well! DISCLAIMER: I do also use Tretinoin 0.05%, which I got prescribed by my doctor. I do believe that also contributed to my skin clearing up.

I have Locs so there’s not many products out there that really gets into them and makes them look and feel very soft. But these products may help you like they’ve helped me

I still remember the first time I wore makeup. I remember my mom bought me a foundation that was definitely not my color, it was by a brand called Italia. Honestly I loved it, I thought it looked good! Now that I’m older I’ve bought a bunch of makeup. I was there when makeup tutorials on YouTube started! Of course I was influenced! I was subscribed to many subscription boxes my first one being Ipsy. My skin has changed a lot I’m in my 30s now so I’ve stopped caking my face with makeup. I like a more natural look now. Of course I still go heavier every now and then. But for my day to day makeup these are some things I use. I’m the type to stick to what I have until it doesn’t work anymore. Anyway, this what I’m into, for now. 🤍

Medicube - I've always heard great things about Korean skin care and how they're on a completely different level to the products we're used to. To be honest, I didn't really know where to start, and since I like to use face masks in general, I thought I'd start with theirs, and was I impressed!! I have a combination skin type which usually goes dry in winter time and starts flaking, so this has been a life-saver as it completely hydrates it and gives it a wonderful smooth and elastic texture. Really, a fantastic find!

If you're tired of wasting money on white-residue disasters, scroll through before your next wash day.
