10 NATURAL HAIR TIPS FOR HEALTHY HAIR

July 6, 2024 28 Comments

Let’s talk about hair

Everyone wishes for long, silky, shiny hair but with natural hair, I aim mostly for health. I admit that I never really cared about taking care of my hair since I was used to braiding it all year round and not thinking much about it but after sometime, my hair texture changed and it became thin, brittle, full of split ends and just looked a mess until I decided to start taking care of it the right way and what suits me. These are 10 natural hair tips for healthy hair that have helped me with my 4c hair and still try to follow most of the time.

When it comes to natural hair, don’t lie to yourself and think that just because another person has natural hair, that you both have the same and that you should follow the same regimen, because everyone’s hair type is different and accepts different products and maintenance.

THE ESSENCE VAULT FRAGRANCES: You Wouldn’t Tell The Difference

January 3, 2022 No Comments

I am sure you have already seen all the ads around, be it on Facebook, Instagram you name it. What I’m I talking about? The essence vault fragrances, if you like smelling good or just want to have a great scent overall and think you need to have the original designer perfume, then I’m here to tell you that it’s time to save up your coin. I know that buying expensive designer perfume sounds good and all but what if you could have the same fragrance at a fraction of the price and not be able to tell the difference? Then if this sounds interesting to you, I am urging you to check out the essence vault fragrances.

I first saw the ad on Instagram and clicked on it accidentally while scrolling, I wanted to get a present for my husband’s birthday and decided to try different stores and products out there. So I decided to bite the bullet and get him some to test out if they were worth the hype. Well, I ended up buying three bottles which will probably last him forever and the best part is a little goes a long way and lasts all day too. After seeing how great they were, I got myself some too and l am definitely happy with my purchase.

MY FACE MASK REVIEW

July 13, 2021 2 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’re all having a great start to the week. If you read my updated skincare routine, then you already know how I have changed it up quite a bit from trying Korean skincare to avoiding some products entirely. I have been into skincare for quite some time now, and after getting the routine that suits me and my skin type, it still hasn’t made it easy when my skin decides to just breakout out of nowhere or sometimes due to the dreaded hormones, either way, it’s a battle I am trying to conquer. I added some facial masks to my routine which I am liking. This is my face mask review and it’s an updated version.

MY SKINCARE ROUTINE UPDATED VERSION

April 7, 2021 26 Comments

Let’s talk skincare,

It took me a while to figure out what my skin really needs, and had to learn how to keep up with it during changing seasons and hormonal breakouts. I started researching more about Korean skincare, and the number of steps it takes for daytime and night-time routines were too much for me. After trying it for a while I noticed that I needed to reduce some of the products since my skin was taking none of that layering system, so I decided to create my own spin on Korean skincare with the number of products my skin can take. If you read my post on the best tips for sensitive skin, then you now know that my skin has become super sensitive and I have to be very careful when I choose products to apply to my skin and body too. This is my skincare routine updated version.

I also know that with this pandemic, self-care is important so before we are released to the world without restrictions, I decided to just share what has been working for me and if you need some ideas for some products. Also, it’s been a long time coming for me to actually stick to a routine that works and hasn’t caused me major skin problems hence the no photo sessions in most of my posts. Hoping to change that soon since my camera roll is empty.

Hi,

Happy new week everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend and also enjoyed the rain that came with it, that is if you were indoors. Anyway today I am back with a skincare post, in my skincare products I want to try out this year post, I told you about my spring allergy and how it flares up and also what I wanted to do to deal with it. What I was not expecting is it to come back again this time of the year even though I knew it was just a Spring thing. I already knew I had sensitive skin and if you read the post on the products that didn’t work for me, then you will see how I almost burnt my face off. My skin is definitely not my friend right now, hence why I am here with best tips for sensitive skin.

Anyway, these are some of the tips that have helped in my experience when dealing with sensitive skin.
