Hi! So, back when I was a teenager, I had no idea where to shop for anything. And when I say anything, I mean I didn’t even know where to go for bras (let alone how to find the right size), panties, socks, jeans, shoes, tops, or skincare. I didn’t ev...

Where To Shop For Bras & Panties

Figuring out where to buy chonis and bras was such a headache. My mother never taught me how to do these things, and when I moved to California at 16, I was living with my younger brother and my uncle, so I had no guidance whatsoever. Over the years,...

I love victoria's secret, they have the cutest bras and undies. To make sure you get the right size get a measuring tape and calculate your cup size and band size.

I love Hanes! Their items are such good quality and the prices are great. Their socks are super comfy, and I’m always repurchasing their hoodies.

Hanes is my go-to for socks. These are great! Maybe a little TMI, but I love Hanes socks because my feet never smell. I wore a different brand once, and I noticed the huge difference these make in keeping my feet dry and smell-free.

I bought these because I read that cotton is better for your health down there. Plus, I love wearing these during my period because if there are any accidents, I don’t feel as bad about ruining them, lol. I can just grab another pack!

The first bra that actually fit me perfectly and felt soft was from this brand, Bali. You can find it at Kohl’s. Let me tell you, I was amazed at the difference a well-fitting bra makes in how your clothes look. I had no bulges on my back from a too-...

Ok, listen... Walgreens is that girl for me. She’s got a special place in my heart forever, and I’ve been a rewards member since 2014. This is where I bought my first makeup, haircare, and skincare products for my curly/wavy hair. I remember when I w...

I don’t know if it’s the same for all CVS stores, but at least in mine, the makeup aisle was larger than the ones at Walgreens. They also had more hair accessories, but again, that might just be the location.
Drugstore Makeup & Cosmetics - CVS Pharmacy

This is another place you can purchase makeup from. However, I didn't enjoy the shopping experience as much because a lot of items were behind a glass.

I felt a bit intimidated the first time I went to Sephora because I didn’t know anything about makeup, but the girl working there was super sweet and helped me find a foundation that matched me perfectly. It was really helpful because I was then able...
