Face Mask Review – Tony Moly

K-beauty (Korean beauty) is the new hot sauce in the skincare world. I was curious about the hype and seeing if the beauty regimens will make my melanin pop like whoa so I decided to give some products a try. First, stepping up to the bat - Tony Moly. Now, I'm going to keep it one hundred....I only picked out this mask because Bear originally picked it as he recognized the

Beauty Review: Shea Moisture's Vegan Lip Balm

I have big lips. If you followed this blog for a while, you know this. I can't hide them nor would I want to. Women pay for a pout like mine. [caption id="attachment_8823" align="alignnone" width="1776"] Look at what the Lord has blessed.[/caption] So, when it comes to moisturizing them, I wouldn't say I spend a lot of money (really, I don't), but I'm very picky about what I put on them.

Minamul Dry-Brushing Review

So a while back...a long while back (and I so apologize for the delay, Minamul!), the good people over at Minamul sent me dry brushes to do a review. Yes, dry brushing. Honestly, I didn't know that was a thing. But it's a thing you might want to try. Dry brushing helps slough away dead skin and revitalize your body. If you've been to a spa, you might have seen it

Prime Your Face

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

Product Review – Toddler Car Seat Travel Tray

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

This All-Natural Soap is Dope AF.

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

Hair & Body Product Review: KoilsByNature

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

Is Code-A-Pillar Worth the Money?

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

Natural Hair Care Review: Eva NYC

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

Biracial Hair Care: Shea Moisture Kids' Detangler

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
