Consider this your shortcut to discovering Black-owned bag brands worth knowing. 👜 From everyday totes and statement bags to elevated pieces that deserve their own moment, I’m sharing brands bringing style, quality, and creativity to the bag game. Come for the bags, stay for the new favorites you’ll be telling everybody about. ✨

As a TikTok Affiliate and Beauty Influencer, I get so much makeup and I don’t post it all! This list is for all the ones I’ve tried so you can see them first hand. For reference, I’m a 40+ creator with oily skin.

Maybe I’m an easy sell or maybe I just love to shop. Either way, here are some of my favorite TikTok Shop finds. From Hair care to nails to clothes and gadgets, this is everything I’ve purchased, repurchased, and actually love!

I love a great deal and TikTok Shop is full of them. From Makeup and Skincare to Shoes and Vitamins and everything in between! You can find it!

If you are a DIY Nail girlie, a queen of press ons, or bougie on a budget; this list is for you. This is everything you need to have perfect salon manicures at home and for a fraction of the cost.

It's that time of year again, we are setting up our classrooms and preparing for students. This list is all of my favorite Teacher things. As a middle school math teacher and podcaster, I have to help my fellow teachers educate the babies in style!

I'm the queen of "I'll do it myself!" Because of that, I started and maintain my locs myself. This list is dedicated to all the things that make the process easier, smarter or keep my hair healthy!

My skincare routine is anything but bland. With a mix of products I've tried and a rotation that keeps my skin healthy. I love to try new products so expect some variety. If I don't like it, it won't be here!

The struggle to shade match, be budget friendly, and maintain healthy skin is real, especially for women of color. Elf has expanded its shade range and coverage options to be more inclusive without needing a loan!

I love all things makeup, trying new brands and products... all of it! My face is all over social media and local marketing ads so I love to look my best. You never know when my next gig will be! These are all the brands I've tried and liked!

A Shoe Addiction is never a problem. JustFab/ShoeDazzle and so many more, all Bougie on a Budget certified!

I'll be the first to admit that I love Shein because it's inexpensive, has literally everything, and shipping is decent. This is all the dupes, lucky finds, and things I tried so you don't have to!

Rule number one is never to ask how much it cost. Just add to cart! Rule number two is to stager your deliveries so your husband never notices how much stuff you actually bought! You're Welcome!

The only place I love like Atlanta is Destin! An easy 5 hour drive from the A takes you straight to the beautiful blue waters of the Emerald Coast! Nothing comes closer to heaven than this!

Atlanta is a city like no other. Dreams come true here. It really is Black Hollywood. Everyone is a rapper or a model. We are also home to over 50 rooftop bars restaurants! (I'll get them all on here soon! Atlanta or Atlana as we call her is the home of "we outside" and "day parties"! Let's go!!!

Making finding the perfect gift simple! Here are some things from my own wish list and some you may not have thought about!

Mother's Day is right around the corner. Here are a few pieces that she will love!
