The products I swear by. They are angels who have never done anything wrong. Morning routine is always the same. Vitamin C and sunscreen. I do not cleanse in the morning. Night time routine consists of double cleansing and skin cycling. After cleansing I either 1. chemically exfoliate & moisturize 2. retinal or retinol & moisturize 3. just moisturize. In the order, over and over again until the end of time. 💋

Fragrance Lover Alert 🚨✨
I’m seriously obsessed with perfumes – like, total fragrance junkie vibes. 💐🌙 From sweet and flirty to deep and mysterious, I’ve tested sooo many scents already and I’m always on the hunt for the next one to add to my collection. This list is basically my personal fragrance diary – the perfumes I love, the ones that caught my vibe, and the ones I think everyone should try at least once. If you’re into fragrances as much as I am (or just starting out), trust me, these picks will have you smelling iconic. 🌸🔥
Calling all moms and busy ladies of the world! Here is my easy minimal makeup routine I've been using this summer and honestly, will probably continue this routine into the fall. This routine consists of light skin coverage, illuminator, bronzer, blush, brows, mascara, and lip combo. Below I've listed the most user friendly and efficient products that I rotate through to create this natural, glowy, skin-like finish. Enjoy!
As a healthcare worker, I don't have much time to put into a full face of make up. Not to mention the environment doesn't call for it! I do like to look presentable and still feel like a lady so I've curated a list of my daily make up. There's not much to it and most comes from your local drug store. Hope you enjoy!
I really started getting into makeup the last 5 years or so. I was never a YouTube makeup girly but really started watching the people on tiktok. I quickly found out the things that look great on 20 year old skin don't always work for my uh slightly older skin. These are things I have found and love and have not just bought, but repurchase over and over!
My makeup products and beauty items rarely change, so these are my tried and true staples in my vanity. I am on a budget, especially for luxury services like hair, nails and makeup, so hopefully these products help if you're trying to do the same.
Here are some products I’m using this autumn that you HAVE to try!! Get to smelling like a vanilla cinnamon pumpkin with some of these new ranges🧡(perfect for a boo basket by the way)🎃
This is a list of makeup and skincare that I use everyday after years of hunting for the perfect products. I am done gatekeeping so here are my holy grails in just a couple lists!
Even though I’m 30, the only makeup I ever wore for years has been mascara, lipstick, and eyebrow pencil. That’s pretty much it. Over the past few months, I’ve been experimenting with more makeup as a form of mama self-care so I don’t feel and look like a homeless person lol. I’m starting with these basics, which are super affordable, accessible, and versatile. These are the staples in my makeup bag that I recommend for anyone just starting out with facial beauty products! Go have fun and get creative with it! 😉
So, plenty of doctors have said that washing your face in the morning and using products is not beneficial because you’re stripping your skin off it’s natural oils. All products I recommend I only use at night before bed.
As someone who doesn’t care about compliments from other women, These are all the fragrances I own or have owned that my wife absolutely loves! And hopefully yours will too!
These are all of the skin care products I love and most likely have a subscription for so I never run out. And now a story about why I have multiple snail mucin products on this list. Once upon a time I worked for a cosmeceutical company (these are the types products usually sold at a med spa or dermatologist office) as a marketing assistant. While I only worked there a short time, I got to learn a lot about snail mucin which was the active ingredient on their crown jewel product. This product worked so well and had great clinical trial result. Years later when I started seeing K beauty brands popping up and they they had snail mucin product I knew I had to try them. Guess what, they are just as good, if not better, than the one that company sold for over $100. Granted, I was in my early 20s when I worked there and had the skin of a baby already, but still I could see a more glowing and even skin tone when I used them. The moral of the story is quality effective products don't have to cost a lot.
I have wavy to curly hair depending on the weather, haircut, what products I use in my hair that day and how I style it. As a hairdresser my clients struggle to find what really works. I have compiled this list to help them and you. It ranges from what shampoo, conditioner, styling products, to use as well as the best styling tools to use to get your desired look. I hope you find this list helpful.
A curated list of skincare essentials for a great routine oriented around my favorite products and recommended active ingredients. I wanted to give you a few different options so some product types (ex. cleansing oil) are listed in different varieties - you of course don't need all of the different types☺️
Reminder: Always apply sunscreen at the end of your morning routine 🤍

As someone with very sensitive skin, I am very selective with my skincare! After dozens of dermatologist visits, I’ve landed on these holy grail products to keep my skin supple, evenly toned, and acne-free! These products are perfect if you struggle with acne, dry skin, redness, and/or hyperpigmentation.
As someone who used to struggle with loving their natural hair… please trust me when i say, these products are what help my hair thrive. (Along with the work of my amazing curly hair stylist)
I’ve tried so many different products whether it be cheap or “higher end” , all of these items have been so good to my hair.
I hope this list helps you too and if you have any products that you’re in love with and wanna share, please recommend. I’d love to try new stuff! ☺️
look sometimes you need makeup just to look a littleee more put together - but we’re balling on a budget over here. these of my go to, always repurchased products. some are a little bit more of splurge (but they’ll last you forever and are worth it I promise) but I’ll be honest, most of these are drug store brand. I’ve done my research and found the best dupes out there, so you don’t have to ;)
