Lately, I've keeping my routine simple and these beauty essentials make it so easy. I love products that feel light but actually work. And these are my favorites.
Since I went natural eight years ago, I’ve spent years testing out all sorts of different hair care products to see what works for me. I started with curly hair products back then, but more recently I’ve transitioned to keeping my hair straight most of the time (without chemicals) and I’ve compiled a list of products that I use regularly that keep my hair, healthy, sleek, and undamaged. Pair with regular trims and sleeping with my hair pulled up at night. I found that this combination of products has made a huge difference in my hair health overall as someone who uses heat in their hair almost every day.
Products I will always repurchase until the day I die. Tried and true, try these if you want flawless makeup. Contains: Face Primers, Eye Primers, Lip Primers, and Lash Primers.

Baths get all the glory when discussing how to relax and unwind, but some of us hate baths! Or rent places with tubs we'd rather not fully submerge ourselves in. I'm very pro shower and think that even though it's considered more "quick" there's still ways to make it feel like an oasis.
If you’re neglecting your hair health then you need to check out this list! Using heat and bleach (color) on your hair is so damaging not to mention your every day exposure to pollution.
i have used press on nails since 2012 and i have never gotten my nails done in a salon. even now, i either do my own nails or buy press ons. here are the best nails that last me 2+ weeks!‼️NOTE: if you have trouble with press ons lasting, make sure you buff the top of your nails until they look rough/have nail dust from buffing and then wipe with alcohol/acetone and let them dry. when you apply, they should stick for a while! they don’t stick well to oily/shiny/unbuffed nails. my nail prep makes my nails last so long i have to practically pry them off after 3 weeks to redo them, with all 10 nails still intact!

I am someone who has never had acne. Like I've gotten pimples and zits and blackheads, but I've never really been someone to have like a full-on breakout. That was until 2019 and I woke up in horror with my forehead completely red and inflamed and covered in tiny, tiny little bumps and I had no idea what the hell was going on. I tried everything and anything and nothing worked until I found out what kind of acne I was having. Because if you didn't know there are different types of acne, bacterial and fungal. Let me start by saying I'm not a doctor, nurse, or demonologist. I'm here to share my experiences with fungal acne and what has worked for me. That being said I hope this helps.
