Lately there has been a big push for everyone to support Black-owned businesses, seeing as to how they are often overlooked and not given their just due. It is also often discussed how the “Black dollar” only circulates within the Black community zero to one time, compared to the Asian community of 9 times, (source) which is basically not circulating at all. The black community is now (probably more than…
It’s no secret, I’m a foodie and I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon. I love food, and the saltier, the fattier, the better. On top of my love for food, I’m also an overeater because… I love food. This has not been particularly helpful to my goals as I work to try and get some semblance of fitness back. I’ve been yo-yoing for for last few years; I’m…
We love self-care, body care, and feminine care here on this blog! Once upon a time, feminine hygiene Youtube videos were quite the rage, with content creators cranking out tons of videos in an effort to take some of the stigma away from feminine body care, and teach others whom may have never been taught these things. I watched a few of these feminine hygiene videos on Youtube (because you’re…
Youtube is the perfect place to go to look for anything, and I mean anything! While Youtube is the perfect place to go for exercise videos, skin care advice, hair growth masks, or food recipes, most of us use Youtube like we do any other form of social media: to check out what others are up to. I personally enjoy vlogs! And while I love watching these beautiful 20-something year-old…
It’s the dead of winter here in the U.S, but all over my timeline, everyone is talking about summer. The threads are buzzing about the trips we’ll be taking (safely of course!), the summer bodies we’re currently working on, you name it. In my death scrolling, I came across a slew of videos, all showing how to lighten your underarms (because maxi dresses are just around the corner) and a…
A lot of us have been d.i.y’ing more than usual over the last 12 months due to quarantine and trying to stay safe at home. From at home facials to gel manicures, us ladies have taken our beauty routines and self-care maintenance to the next level. One part of your routine that you may have been neglecting is your hair removal. As someone who used to go to the day…
My Henna hair growth recipe and ayruvedic oil recipe have garnered a few questions. I will be doing more of a Q&A post to answer some of those questions, but seeing how many are on this henna/ayruvedic hair care journey I wanted to create a post with more resources. Below, I’ve listed some of my favorite Youtubers that make videos about henna and other ayruvedic herbs and practices. These ladies…
I’ve been using henna (and indigo) in my natural haircare routine for about 12 years, and it has been instrumental in helping me grow long, healthy natural hair. My hair is naturally fine, kinky, and high porosity. Because of this, my hair is more susceptible to mechanical damage, dryness, and breakage. In the very beginning of my natural hair journey, I didn’t know these things about my hair. However, I…
It’s that time of year again; the end of one year and the beginning of a new one. 2020 has been a year from Hades and I’m ready to send it back! I typically don’t set New Year’s Resolutions but, considering how 2020 went, I am ready to set my plan and intentions for the coming year. This year, I will be doing a vision board for my New Year’s…

These recommendations are listed from my personal experience and research as a non-professional in the skincare business. Before trying any new skincare products, you should always consults a professional and conduct your own research. Once upon a time, I used to pick my skincare products based on asinine things like; whether it claimed to cure my acne overnight, how compelling the commercial was, or whether a celeb with clear skin…
