My hair is my treasure and it went through so many colours and lengths I wanted to go bald to recover it. But I found some methods to nourish it properly and it never looked better! Here are some products I use and some home, budget friendly remedies I'm doing to maintain my hair's health. ❤️ P.S. every hair is different so maybe it won't work for you, but don't give up. Find your own hair care routine like I did💋

list gets updated regularly and is still a work in progress 💓
I get so frustrated seeing advertisements for skincare when the person promoting it clearly has Botox and Filler. Don’t get me wrong- I used to get my dose of tox, but over the past year, I had to make some budget cuts. These products have been so reliable in keeping my skin looking healthy and natural. Hope you love them as much as I do 🫶
This list has the BEST products for an everything shower! Guaranteed that these products will help your shower feel more luxurious, relaxing, and refreshed for whatever you have planned
As an acne prone girlie, I am well versed in skin barrier wreckage. I have enlarged pores, rosacea, acne, pitting, scaring, hyperpigmentation, and dark under eyes. It SUCKS not having perfect, flawless skin! I love having a good skincare routine, and I'm a huge skincare/beauty lover, so I like to try a lot of products. But sometimes I wreck my skin barrier, and I think I've passed the point of no return. The worst thing is to have an acne flare up, or just a wrecked barrier. It's a huge struggle for so many people, and personally, I know it destroys my confidence. Makeup can only cover up so much, but to get to the root of the problem you have to take care of your skin! I had an allergic reaction a few months ago that I thought I'd never recover from, but thankfully skincare saved me! These are my favorite skin barrier repairing products! Most of these are meant for barrier repair, but I'm also going to include products that I used that helped me repair mine, even if they're not designed that way. This list is broken up by product category, but I think these products can be mixed and matched to whatever your skincare concern may be! Under the caption for the product, I will include the ingredients that make it a barrier repairing product. If you're struggling with your skin, you're not alone! If you don't know where to start, let this be your first step! Please feel free to ask questions, and checkout my TikTok - you'll see how my skin looked before and after using these products, my favorite routines, and so much more!
As we get older, the volume of our hair decreases dramatically. Use this list to help volumize the hair you have left to the stars!!! These are my tried and true products for volume! Please note, having layers cut into your hair will INCREASE volume dramatically versus just hair that is all one length… don't be scared, everyone LOVES layered, BIG HAIR!
Luscious wavy hair usually helps with hair styling and completing outfits. I've gone through several seasons of my life where I lost large chunks of my hair and these are my holy grail products for regrowth and ensuring a healthy scalp! (Also including my fav hair accessories, perfumes and wavy hair essentials all under $50)
A peek into my skincare routine! These are the products I absolutely love and have seen great results with. I often rotate my products out as I feel my skin can sometimes get too used to something but there are quite a few products on here I would never dream of ceasing to use ever.

$$$ does not always mean better. makeup and beauty doesn't have to break the bank. although i do love my sephora products, i loveee a good drugstore moment. here's a list of all the affordable products i've tried (most i still use and love)not putting products i haven't tried, so full routine is wip

When it comes to skincare, I only trust the Koreans. I’ve been using their products for the last 3 years, and my skin has never looked this clear and youthful.🧖🏾♀️
hey loves! i’ve tried way too many makeup products that either didn’t blend right, didn’t last, or just didn’t work with my skin. after testing different formulas, shades, and finishes, i finally narrowed it down to the ones that actually work for me—easy to apply, look super nice, and make me feel confident without the hassle. whether you’re building your everyday routine or just want to refresh your makeup bag, everything’s linked below with my own reviews. let me know what you’ve tried or if you have recs i should add! xoxo ₊˚⊹ᰔ
I strive to live a low-tox lifestyle, and that means finding products that contain clean ingredients that are effective. What goes ON our body is just as important as what goes IN our body! While these products are not totally non-toxic, I feel comfortable using them and enjoy the results I have achieved with each one. These are my little bathroom besties that are purchased on repeat!🔁 💟
The Body Shop has been a favorite of mine since I was a teenager - cruelty free, natural ingredients and actively trying to improve their environmental impact as well as supporting ethical causes. I can’t not support that - in a world where companies often act unethical or use artificial ingredients just to save some bucks and make their profit margin bigger, I’d like to recommend something different. Conscious care for ourselves and the planet 🌎 So I curated this list to give you some of my all time favorites from an all time favorite brand.
I love a good deal! If you want to try something new on a budget, you can't go wrong here! I have super sensitive skin with rosacea and these have all been great! ℹ️ This list includes affiliate links.
If you have sensitive skin or just a sensitive nose, these sunscreens are all fragrance-free and l ha e tested them all myself. From day wear for under you make to jet skiing, there is a sunscreen that suits you.
I’m all about products that enhance my natural glow without looking like makeup. Think soft-focus, blurring vibes. I believe in investing in fewer, high-quality products that layer beautifully. (Sort of like a capsule wardrobe for your face.) If you’re in your 30s (or just over heavy foundation) and want products that don’t settle into fine lines, crease, or feel heavy, you’re in the right place.
If you’ve ever overdone it with actives or suddenly found your skin feeling dry, tight, irritated, or extra sensitive, you know how important a good barrier repair routine can be. As someone with dry, sensitive skin, I’m very particular about the products I reach for when my skin barrier needs some extra TLC. These are my favorite skin barrier repair products, including gentle cleansers, hydrating serums, soothing moisturizers, barrier creams, and occlusives that help support a healthy, hydrated skin barrier. I’ll keep adding the products I trust for calming and comforting stressed-out skin!
These are must-have products designed to cleanse, hydrate, and rejuvenate. This list consists of many things that you could use to complete your skincare routine!
Need some makeup recommendations? Here are a list of items I use on the daily when getting ready :) note that I have an oily face and these are the products that have worked for me
As a traveling hair and makeup artist and self proclaimed makeup junkie, I have a "station" at home that's all for me. If you ever wondered what type of furniture, mirrors, tech, storage and anything like that, that someone like myself would use, here's a working list: 💜
Fragrances that I will continue to buy again and again! I love scents that bring back memories and are comforting while being utterly intoxicating! Perfumes from all ranges of price-points can be lux. Even if I am not a fan of a scent, I adore looking deep the chemistry and fragrance compounds of every one I have!
As someone who loves a good scent and loves getting compliments, these will be sure to have people stopping in their tracks to ask you what perfume you’re wearing! All of these smell amazing and feminine while having their own unique smell.
Calling all the ladies who want to keep up their makeup, hair, nail, & overall glam game but in a way that stewards wellness (no strong or harmful chemicals!)
All my tried-and-true beauty faves in one place - skincare, makeup, and everything I actually use and love. ✨

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’ve always had naturally wavy hair, but for the longest time, I couldn’t get it to curl the way I knew it could. Years of bleaching, heat styling, and dyeing definitely took a toll, and for a while, I thought my curl pattern was gone for good.
But with patience (and the right products), I finally brought my curls back to life. This list includes the exact products that helped me restore my hair — from hydrating masks to curl-defining creams. Now my curls not only bounce back, but they actually feel healthy again.
