2021 so far has been a year of newness for me. I have a new job. I have a new home. I have a new car, ( technically, I purchased it last year, but didn’t get to drive it until now, so I’m going to argue that it’s still new ). Stores and restaurants are […]
UNCONTROLLED: GETTING OFF BIRTH CONTROL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I WAS 15 AND HOW IT FEELS
For some reason this blogpost has been really hard for me to put down into words, which is weird because I haven’t posted on here in a while and felt VERY compelled and motivated to talk about this topic: birth control. It’s something that has been a part of my life for so long, I’ve […]
ROOTED: MY HAIRCARE RITUAL FOR A HEALTHIER SCALP
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Rooted Rituals. All opinions are 100% mine. The haircare game has changed DRAMATICALLY since I was growing up, and that wasn’t even that long ago. What used to only be shampoo and conditioner (and sometimes even a 2-in-1..yikes!) has now grown to an array […]
ALL USED UP: ROUND TWO
HAPPY 2020 people! We are definitely in our roaring 20s again, and with the new year comes an end to a few trendy beauty care products (i.e. charcoal). These days it’s all about CBD, peptides, natural ingredients and essences. I have lots of new stuff that I’m trying; however, this post is a follow-up to […]
BEYOND ME: VEGAN BEEF AND BROCCOLI WITH MUSHROOMS, TOMATOES AND CAULIFLOWER RECIPE
Nothing like a salivating, delicious food recipe to get me back on the blog after THREE long months. YAAS. This is a VEGAN recipe, (brain-exploded), that I’ve been making AT LEAST once EVERY week since I first created it out of thin air. It’s super easy, super quick, and muther-effin delicious. I HAD TO post […]
UPKEEP: MY IMAGE MAINTENANCE LIST
They say it takes a village to raise a child, but I say it also takes a village to maintain your appearance as a blogger. As vain as it sounds, being in front of the camera for the majority of the day can make anyone’s sense of vanity peak. I’m not about to say that […]
LIP SYNC: MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH LIP INJECTION
Much like potato chips, you can’t just have one. I’m referring to fillers peeps. I had my very first injectables and fillers back in January of this past year [see DEFYING GRAVITY], and I recently went back to see Sari Hoban, PA-C at Westside Aesthetics, for a quick touch-up of Dysport on the crows feet around […]
ALL USED UP: BEAUTY PRODUCTS THAT I’VE USED TO THE LAST DROP
I’m back betches! Missed me much?? So much has happened in the past five months and we need to do a quick catch-up. First, I have a new job working for a very fabulous fashion brand based out of the UK. You might be able to guess the brand if you watch my Instagram stories […]
DEFYING GRAVITY: MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH FACIAL INJECTIONS AND FILLERS
The month of January has been a month of facial maintenance, (to say the least). I decided to jump on the #dryJanuary wagon because I knew I was about to get a lot of work done on my face, and wanted to make sure my body was slightly detoxed before all the cuts and injectables […]
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM MICROBLADING
This was a decision made not by me, but by my mother and father who gave me sparse eyebrows that slanted downwards. I don’t think I even knew that there was salvage for people who had eyebrows like me. I had paper thin eyebrows for a good decade because that’s all the eyebrow wax lady […]
