As a competitive gymnast, these are the gymnastics essentials I recommend for practices, meet days, keeping my hair secure, and recovery after training. I included practical products that make long gym days easier. Always check grip sizing and recovery products with your coach, parent, or medical professional.

These are my favorite products and tools for keeping my waves and curls defined, soft and less frizzy. I included everything from my wash-day essentials and styling products to the brushes, diffuser and refreshing products I use between washes. I don’t use every styling product at the same time I mix and match them depending on whether my hair needs more moisture, volume or hold. Every product on this list is something I’ve personally used, along with my honest tips for getting the best results without weighing down wavy or curly hair.

My complete affordable makeup routine using products that are each under $20. These are products I genuinely enjoy for a natural, glowy look. I included what I like, how I use each product, and anything you should know before buying.

This list includes makeup I’ve personally used on my acne-prone skin, products specifically formulated to address breakouts and sensitive-skin makeup I’m still researching. I clearly separate my tested favorites from products I haven’t tried because everyone’s skin reacts differently.
