I'm rather new to the world of face primers. I didn't know there was a science on prepping your face even more before the first touch of foundation hits it. I'm used to scrubbing, toning, moisturizing, and then the foundation.
Now I need to prime my face?
It sounds weird but it's a dope concept. Primer smoothes out your pores, minimizing them and make your face overall smoother before you put on your

It's one of those purchases where I look at, think how cute it is, and then wonder, 'Okay, do I really need any more shit in the backseat of my car?'
Turns out, yes.
Bear has his own setup in the backseat. He has a container for snacks. He has a blanket. He brings his iPad with him sometimes. He has toy cars and what have you. I mean this kid's
So, recently, I had a rather nasty allergic reaction. While I like to try new food and products, I'm also pretty mindful of what I consume. Sometimes, it's amazeballs and sometimes, it really sucks.
I had a rather nasty reaction to a favorite brand of mine, Nivea, and had to immediately discontinue. On the hunt for a new soap wasn't what I would like to call a good time. For
So, I've followed Koils by Nature for a while on IG before I actually purchased from them. I was in the market to look for a summer butter and I wanted to try something different. I didn't have to look too far as I remembered Koils.
Founded by owner Pamela J. Booker, Koils specializes in hair and body products and are vegan! How about that?
I heard rave reviews about the
So, I recently did a splurge on Bear's gift. He's an only child thus far so he often gets a lot of toys and really for no reason other than he's stinkin' adorable and Mommy and Daddy are saps.
This is a toy Maks and I were contemplating getting for Bear for quite some time. While I'm a little bummed I overspent on this toy (I found it elsewhere for
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary sample of Eva NYC on behalf of Influenster. All opinions are mine.
Whenever I hear about a hair company that brags that their product is for all hair types, I'm skeptical. Let's face it, Type 4 hair isn't the same manageability as Type 2 or Type 3. Thick, coarse, and textured are usually the descriptions that come to mind.
So, when Eva NYC claimed they could
It's been a while since we've done a biracial hair care review so let's jump right in it!I recently purchased Shea Moisture's detangler spray for Bear. I'm a huge fan of Shea Moisture and own and tried just about everything they have! Seriously. I went from being on the fence to being a bonafide fangirl of theirs. (Cantu and Camille Rose are also others I stan for.)
Now we know
So, my in-laws came over for Russian New Year last night and they brought gifts. My mother-in-law likes to give fragrance as gifts and I have more perfume than I know what do with. Maks also received another bottle of cologne.
"And here!" She spoke to me in broken English. "Something for Bo!"
She handed me a stocking filled with what I assumed were toys. After all, it was Orthodox New
I recently tried the DevaCurl No-Poo cleansing conditioner on Bear. I tried it on my hair before (for a refresher, click here), so it was time to do it on Bear's hair.
Pros:
It cleans very well.
DevaCurl is a strong brand.
It has a lot of slip.
It is heaven for those with Type 3 hair.
Cons:
It's super expensive! My little 3 oz bottle cost $10.
If you have a sensitive nose, you probably won't
Hello! And I'm back with another review of some of the hair care products I've tried over the year. Since I have a few, I'm going to make this as condense as possible. This time I'm reviewing creams, custards, and leave-ins.
Let's get started!
Aunt Jackie's Quench!
At first, I wasn't a fan of this product. It smelled pretty sweet and I wasn't a fan of the consistency on my hair (putting
