For a long time I didn't have a clue how to care for my curls, this resulted in frizzy, puffy hair that looked a bit like hagrids. I've been on a journey learning how to treat my curls gently but it's still a work in progress. These are the best products I've found so far that are also affordable. I'd love to hear your suggestions of products that have worked for you and try them too!
I’ve always had very sensitive, acne-prone skin so trust me when I say, these recommendations are everything! It’s helped me clear up my adult acne I’ve been struggling with for years prior. Hope you love as much as I do!
As a midlifer the products I look for are formulated and/or work well with mature skin. In my 20’s and 30’s I wasn’t concerned with hydration, or making sure what was in the product was good for my skin. Now…that is absolutely what I look for first! What I wear now needs to be good for my skin as well as feel good on my skin.
it’s hard finding good hygiene products these days. but they’re necessary.
so, i gathered some basic affordable hygiene products i use and personally think do the job like every other product would!
Skincare, makeup, fragrance! All of my favs and must haves! Skin care is my number one obsession in life! I'm going back to school to be a licensed esthetician. I'm so fascinated by some of these products and what they can due to enhance our skin. Makeup has always been another love of mine.
I love extra glam to totally natural and who doesn't like to smell anazibg? I do have to say I have a little bit of high price taste in fragrance. I prefer designer brands for perfume but i do like Bath and Body Works and like a handful of smell goods from Victoria's Secret! Enjoy my lists!
This list has a blend of save and splurge worthy items that I actually keep in rotation.
✨ Pro tip: buy at stores that you can earn point for shopping like Nordstrom, Sephora, Ulta. I am finding Amazon to be even more expensive than Target these days!

I have been wearing my hair in its naturally curly state my entire life. I have 4A/4B curls with fine strands, and I have been wanting to do something different that will retain the most length. I noticed that braids and other “protective styles” put a lot of stress on my fine strands and I get a lot of breakage, even with “low tension” styles. A lot of women with my same issues have started wearing their hair blown out or straight, and retained a lot of length by doing so. So I decided to try it out myself! I have personally bought and use all of the products I listed below, and I picked things that prioritize the strength, moisture, and integrity of my hair. I hope you can find something you like on this list!
From high end to affordable, I put in the work to make sure you make informed decisions the next time you part with your paycheck at your favorite beauty store!
my makeup MUST HAVES !!! :)

i hope each of you guys can find something you love :))

As a girl with extremely dry skin who lives in a very dry climate, I take my skin care very seriously. So here are all the products I use that I think you should use too!
Products that I recommend for smoothing. These are good for people with dry, thick, coarse kor damaged hair. I also listed a few for people with finer curly hair that like to straighten it.
As an avid lippie lover, I have spent YEARS trying to find the best ones. At any given moment i probably have 14 lip products in my purse. Thats not an exaggeration. I love gloss, hydration, and some tint.
Here are some of my favorite lip glosses, tinted and clear! I prefer nude colors when I wear a tint but light pinks are also gorgeous.
It’s easy to forget that our skin is the largest organ we have and it’s important to take care of it! Once I started being mindful about my body care routine, I’ve seen a big difference in the appearance and health of my skin! These products have helped me become more confident in how my skin looks and feels and I recommend them to everyone! I typically struggle with little red bumps on my arms, stretch marks, and irritation from shaving and these products have been life-saving.

I’m turning 40 next year so I’m all about looking natural yet glowy and youthful! The last thing I want is for my makeup to look cakey or have it dry out my face. However I also don’t want to look greasy. These products I use everyday create the look I’m going for!
This is just a general list of skincare ive come across and fallen in love with. I switch up my routine every few months with a new product or 2 so thats why things will be added. Im not necessarily using it all at once.
All the things I use for silky hair that’s healthy all the way down to the butt. I’ve had long hair all my life but as I get older and do things such as styling or coloring it’s gotten dried out and brittle leading to breakage and just an overall dull look. These are things that have worked phenomenally for me and hope they help you out as well on your hair care journey! 💋
I’m a hairstylist of 10 years! I’ve work in 3 different salons with different products and have compiled some of my favorites. As you can tell Davines is an ELITE brand but I have added my favorites from other brands as well. All of these I use behind the chair and at home.
I prioritize effective, clean ingredients without overspending. These are trusted, budget-friendly repeat purchases that have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
I’ve struggled with acne since I was 9 years old… yes you read that correctly 9 YEARS OLD. I was 12 years old when my dad took me to the dermatologist and 16 when I did Accutane. I am now 29 years old and I rarely break out but I have acne scars and HUGE pores that want to spend eternity with me. This list is stuff i currently use on my skin that keeps me from breaking out and that I believe are helping to reduce the size of my pores. I also have sensitive skin. I’ll keep adding as I try more. I DO NOT USE THESE ALL EVERYDAY!
Even though I'm only 21, I have a long hair journey. For a long time I thought I was struggling with dandruff, my scalp was itchy and flaky, but then I got some flaky marks behind my ears so realized it's psoriasis. Since then I'm looking for hair products that won't worsen the health of my hair. Other than that I'm struggling with dry and split ends so here are my true recommendations for hair products.

Less ingredients; better outcome 🩷 I’m a sensitive skin girly who has found gentle products that offer safer ingredients. I don’t like to spend much time on makeup. I believe less is more and to just let your natural beauty shine. ✨ these are items I purchase as soon as they run out.

Face masks are like a mini spa treatment you can do at home, and they are my absolute favorite thing! They give your skin an extra boost of whatever it needs most. Whether you're looking to deeply hydrate, brighten, clarify, or just relax and unwind, these masks deliver visible results without irritating or overwhelming your skin. Use them whenever your skin needs a little pick-me-up, and enjoy that fresh, glowing feeling afterward. These are all ones I have tried and loved. You can't go wrong with any of them.
