Go grab your calendar, find a day coming up that is completely empty (or make room for an empty day), and mark that day as “Spa Day.” Remember now that it’s in your calendar, nothing can budge it.

I think I’m going to start each one of my blog posts off with repeating an obviously unbearable fact. 2020 is weird! Been weird and ain’t stopping on being weird. But as we get accustomed to our new normal, I am focusing on not loosing who I am. A big part of my Self Care IRL (see what I did there) is rediscovering, recentering, reestablishing who am I constantly. Because we are all evolving creatures this is necessary to do often. I just had a birthday (aye Scorpio Szn) and the closer I get to 50 (yes I am nearing that decade) staying sexy, feeling sexy, being sexy can seem like a chore. S ..read more

I’ve realized that no matter how hard I try, false lashes and I are not friends. I spend hours in front of my mirror trying to apply them only to end up looking like the original Spider Woman. And then what’s even worst is that they end up falling off midday. Not only do they fall off, but this usually happens at the most inconvenient time. Like when I’m in a very important client meeting and just as I give a soft blink as a sign of my approval, poof they’re gone. Well I’m determined not to be made a fool of anymore. So here’s some much-needed advice on what  ..read more

 [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8TOy_dTGOY&w=854&h=480] So you want to know how I keep my skin all glowy and clear right. I’ll share a secret with you. It’s called genetics. No really! I am neglectful AF to my face. Ask any of my friends, I use to never wash my face. Now that I think about it that might be why my pores are as wide as a whore’s… nevermind! But seriously, the answer to your “how is your skin so gorgeous?” questions is really I get it from my mama. And as neglectful as I am when I am on…girl I am on. I have shelves and shelves of luxury skincare. I also l ..read more

A great red lip is a perfect way to show off your personality. One of the reasons I became a beauty blogger is because makeup and all it’s accessories really set the mood. Whether you are fierce and in boss mode or chill and breezy adding a bold lip will always make you appear just a little more dressed up, no matter what you’re wearing. I know that wearing a red lip on your melanated skin can be tricky. So as a rule, I love red lipsticks with blue tints versus one with an orange tint. But at the end of the day, it’s all about your preference. And that’s where I come ..read more

We’ve all been told at some point in our lives that we should keep oil far away from our skin–whether it had been a beauty counter rep telling you, your doctor or your mama! It didn’t matter if it was oil splattering up from fried chicken pan, the natural oils we find in our skin, or organic oils. To us women, all kinds were synonymous with “no bueno.” Because oil = breakouts, right? Not necessarily. The key is to use plant-based oils and the major key (insert DJ Khaled voice here) in utilizing oil is finding the best one for your skin type. In this case, we’re talking acn ..read more

So I posted this picture of my new knotless braids on Instagram recently (I’ll do a post about them soon) but you really only wanted to know what nude lipstick I was wearing. For reference, you should know that I keep at least five lipstick options in my purse. My signature reds and purples, and at least one nude or pinkish color. Reds and purples are my absolute favorites but sometimes you just need to grab something quick and apply without effort. That calls for a nude! So what brand of nude do I wear? The nude I’ve been crushing on is called Tan Lines by Gold Label Cosmetics ..read more

Disclosure: While this post is sponsored by Pantene, you beauties know that all thoughts and opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting the brands that make my blog possible! Everyone thinks that having naturally grey hair is super cool. And it’s true. Ever since I’ve embraced my natural grey hair I’ve felt like a unicorn. But there’s one caveat. The harsh reality of having grey or silver hair is that it can be hard work to keep your hair bright and beautiful silver. I think this is one of the reasons people don’t keep their natural grey hair and opt for dyeing. It seems like there are n ..read more
