Sunscreen: Do you use it?
There is no secret that I absolutely love all things skin care! I’m talking body buttas, exfoliants, body washes, serums, scrubs, etc. Just know if it’s for the skin, I am for IT. Always. This summer has been all about experimenting with different products for my face/full body + seeing how my skin responded to each product. That’s how we learn, through the good, bad and ugly of trying things out😅. The biggest game changer from my 2 months of trial + error was sunscreen. I’ll admit sunscreen has not always been part of my daily skin care process. Truthfully, like many people, I never even considered sunscreen unless I…

The Art of Nurturing Self
You my friend are so deserving of love. It’s funny that sometimes we need reminding or permission to know that we are worthy + deserving of love. Not just any ole kind of love too, a love that is so deep and pure that only YOU know how to do for yourself. Just like in any other relationship, self-love is a daily commitment and choice that is continuous over time. A never ending cycle of embracing ALL the parts of you. Messy, ugly and beautiful, but most importantly it is yours. Self love is your birth right and YOUR choice to make each and every day. Im gonna be honest…

Honor + Showup for Yourself this Week
Last week we witnessed history being made yet again. I dont know about you, but whew😅 living through all this history the last few months has been exhausting to say the least. No matter where you stand on the divide the history we experienced last week is something we will tell our children + their childrens’ children for years to come of this period of life that we have been able to experience first hand. And while there is much to celebrate, there is still so much work to be done not only in our country but within ourselves. As we embark on what feels like a new era (truth…

Energetic Currency: How are you spending it?
Did you know that your Energy is a form of currency? Currency in its simplest definition is a means of exchange, trading one thing for another. This exchange can include time, service, product or even an exchange of energy. Energy isn’t just “vibes”, gut feelings or intuitions. Our overall energy is a reflection of where we spend our time + efforts. As we continue to ease into 2021, now is the perfect time to reflect and evaluate how we’ve spent our energy over the last few months. Evaluation + Reflection Let’s face it, energy has the ability to be influenced and manipulated by factors outside of self. It can be intensified or depleted, so…

Responsibility of Self Care
Happy Monday! Is it just me, or did January “officially” start for you today too😫😫? I don’t know about you but not only did last week fly by but it is a complete blur as if it never happened🥴. Lately I’ve been taking steps to incorporate more time to read each day + so far it has been pretty good. It has been very nostalgic because I use to be a very avid reader until the last few months. There is something pretty special about dabbling back into old hobbies that bring on happiness🥰. I recently read a quote that said, “Learn to enjoy taking care of yourself. Because it…

Morning Routines to Ease Anxiety
At the very root, the purpose of self care is to pour back into yourself while setting yourself up for success to perform at your best.

Mask got you Chapped? DIY Lip Scrub
As we move into cooler months you might notice your lips getting a little bit more chapped than usual. If you are anything like me, then you probably have gone through tons of chapstick, gloss and lip ointment since covid started. Before mask became mandatory pretty much everywhere outside of the house, I prided myself on taking really good care of my skin + lips. Having a good routine pretty much sets the foundation of how our skin ages. This is no different with the skin around the eyes, our hands and especially our lips. Let’s face it, skin care routines are like lifelines 🤷🏾♀️. Ok, so genetics + lifestyle…

4 Step Skincare Routine
(This page contains Affiliate Link. For more information see my disclosures, here) Let’s talk skin! Since we have been home, I have been extremely heavy on my normal self care routine. Recently I started upping the anty a bit in the skincare department. Pre-quarantine, my skincare routine was pretty thorough yet basic in the same breath. I did weekly face masks, jade rolling, exfoliating, creams and serums. You name it, I probably have done it one way or another. The issue has never been taking the steps to take care of my skin. The real issue has always been staying consistent. Come on, I cant be the only one that…
