I've been on a serious hair growth journey! As someone with thin, dmanaged, hair who has forever relied on extensions I decided to stop putting my money towards things that were never going to solve the root problem (no pun intended) and instead get serious about doing everything in my power to support a healthy scalp to promote REAL sustainable growth and to repair the hair I do have. It's a commitment, but I've tried everything under the sun and finally unlocked some REAL results.

My budget friendly, curly frizzy hair routine! I've always struggled with wild, frizzy hair. I never knew how to handle it as a teen. I used to straighten my hair to make it easier to manage.

All products were either provided by, my funding, the company themselves, Influenster, or any other sample sending company.
This sunscreen is my go-to protector for my face and body. The texture is light, absorbs quickly, and is not sticky on the skin. In addition to protecting against UV rays, the formula also moisturizes, so the skin remains comfortable and soft.

I had to find non-comedogenic products, and my skin has thanked me. These are some of the products I use for my everyday makeup.

My personal experience is that Sephora is one of the best places to buy perfume, especially if you're a fragrance enthusiast who loves to discover new scents. The ability to sample extensively, the fantastic return policy, and the Sephora Favorites sets make it a low-risk, high-reward shopping experience. While it's not always the cheapest option, the peace of mind and convenience it offers are worth the price
