My beauty picks!

It's been a while since I've done a beauty post recommendation. My skin lately has been on point (and before I go any further - healthy living (clean food and no smoking) and drinking lots of water has played a significant role in that), I wanted to share my picks that have made my skin look so amazing, I don't need filters. No filters, bih. Cleanser: Shiseido - White

The Top 10 Co-Washes You Need. NOW.

Since I went natural some years ago, I've become a bit of a product junkie. While I have narrowed my faves down to two hands-down, you can't beat these products, there are a host of others I highly recommend. Now, as a precursor, I'm recommending these products for those who have Type 3 and Type 4 hair because that's the hair me and Bear are rockin'. However, cowashes are

Because real talk, you already have the products at home. For years, I've spent money on this makeup brush cleaner and that one. But before I go any further, this is a friendly reminder that you need to be cleaning your makeup brushes and sponges on a regular basis. Like every week.

The Cheap and Vegan Beauty Product You’re Not Using

I have very dry skin. I mean, it's super dry. When I don't moisturize, my skin feels cracked and old. And if I miss my feet, it looks like I was playing kickball with flour. I decided for this unprecedented heatwave the entire nation is experiencing, I needed to go way back to the basics of skin care. Instead of slithering myself with the best overpriced lotion money could

Rapper Meg Thee Stallion coined the phrase, 'Hot Girl Summer' and it's 2019's new slang phrase like "bling" was back in the early 2000s.

Father’s Day Beauty Gifts That Don’t Suck

I think as a society, we have evolved in just giving coffee mugs and ridiculous ties to the fathers in our lives. I have to admit, I used to be guilty of just that. After all, I knew my dad liked coffee and he sometimes wore a tie. Now, while I will include the aforementioned gifts in this post, I think we should explore other things for our special men.

Forever 21 Finds

I know, I know, I know...maybe my old ass shouldn't be shopping at Forever 21. I'm not trying to be like one of those "cool moms" who's trying to be hip and cool. Sometimes, I just like a good deal. And buy 2, get one free for any jewelry is a pretty good deal. Yo, check these out! This reminds me of the old-school door-knocker earrings from way back when. These are plastic

High-End Product Review: NARS Double-Refining Exfoilator

I'm always in search for something to just exfoliate the hell out of my skin without making me look like a leper. After a recent visit to the WeHo NARS store, I decided to get a little more fancy with my skin care for once.

The Best High-End Co-Wash You’ll Need

I think I'm forever searching for the best cowashing conditioner that suits both my hair and Bear's. Bear has super curly Type 3 hair and I bounce between Type 4A and 4B, with some dabbles in 4C. Keeping Bear's hair moisturized and conditioned is an Olympic sport within itself. Not that it's always been easy but when he becomes more active, well, I also become more active in keeping his

High-end Makeup Review: Chanel Blush

I was in search for a new blush and I wanted something that offered pigmentation but not too much. The last thing I needed was to look like a clown. Before, I 've used L'Oreal, Maybelline, and my all-time favorite, MAC. I figured this time around I'll go a bit more high-end. I guess I felt like blowing some monayyyyyy. Anyhoo, while I was at Macy's, I decided to stop by
