On My Beauty Wishlist: Santu.

Image
Hello, beauty enthusiasts! This Thursday, I hope you're all feeling great, had a fantastic week, and are excited for the weekend ahead. I’ve been wanting to share my thoughts on the Latina beauty brand Santu for ages, but it kept slipping my mind. As I get older, I’ve realized how important a self-care routine is for my mental health—when you fill your own cup, you’re better able to fill the cups of those you love. So today seems like the perfect time to talk about self-care while also supporting a Latina-owned beauty brand. Santu draws inspiration from Mexico’s landscapes, ingredients, and traditions. Each creation starts with the gifts of the land—coastal salts, sacred resins, and botanicals shaped by sun, earth, and time. A ritual becomes a moment to come back to yourself, to slow down, reconnect, and act from the heart. In a world full of constant distractions, it’s a daily practice of presence. Every texture, scent, and step is crafted to center you, transforming daily care in...

On My Fashion Wishlist: Luar Mini Ana in Snake Embossed Leather.

Happy Tuesday, fellow fashion lovers! I hope you’re all doing well, had a great weekend, and are enjoying a wonderful start to your work week. It’s been a while since we discussed Laur, but I’m still obsessed with the androgynous style of his entire fashion brand. While browsing the website, I came across the Mini Ana and fell in love with its deep teal snakeskin. This bag would fit seamlessly into so many wardrobes, not just for fall or winter, but for every season. I just had to share it with my fashion friends—after all, friends shouldn’t keep things they adore from the people they adore. This sleek take on the signature Ana is made from snake-embossed leather, featuring the iconic circular top handle and a detachable crossbody strap. Perfect for carrying just the essentials, it’s accented with silver hardware and a subtle LUAR logo engraving, creating a polished yet unique look. Priced at $185.00. https://luar.world/products/small-ana-in-snake-embossed-leather To each of my fashion...

Hello, fellow fashion lovers! I hope you’re all doing great, had an amazing weekend, and that your Monday is off to a good start. I’ve missed you all so much. If you’re a Southern girl like me, you’re probably already familiar with Jack Rogers. I still remember the excitement of buying my first pair—they felt amazing. Browsing their website recently, I came across the Charleston and Augustine booties. With fall and winter in full swing, I’ve been on the hunt for boots that are both stylish and comfortable. I couldn’t keep these to myself, because good friends share the things they love with the people they love. I think faux suede has such a luxe look, so when I spotted the Charleston Bootie, I knew it had to be part of my fall/winter wardrobe. The Jack Rogers Charleston Kitten Heel Bootie in hot fudge mixes vintage charm with modern comfort. Made from soft stretch microsuede and lined with a plush interior, these dark brown ankle boots keep your feet cozy all day. The pointed toe and ...

Happy Thursday to all my fellow beauty lovers! I hope you’re doing well, had an amazing week, and are looking forward to the weekend ahead. I love wearing matte lipsticks, but they can be harsh on my lips. After using one, I need something to restore the lost moisture. While browsing the Maed website, I came across the Reset Lip Serum and thought it would be perfect to include in my makeup routine before applying my red lips. Today, I want to share this Latina-owned beauty brand that you might consider adding to your own beauty routine. This silky lip serum and brightening treatment evens out tone, plumps lips, and delivers lasting hydration.

Hello, fellow fashion lovers on this Tuesday! Hoping everyone is doing well, had a wonderful weekend, and is off to a great start this week. LaVoute by Adrienne Bailon Houghton is one of my favorite Latina-owned fashion brands because of the incredible quality of their products. A couple of weeks ago, I was browsing their website and came across The Petite Adrienne in a gorgeous chocolate brown shade, a color that’s been a huge trend for fall over the past few seasons. As a handbag lover, and with it being Hispanic Heritage Month, I just had to share this stunning piece that’s perfect to carry into both the fall and winter seasons. Compact. Intentional. Iconic. A smaller expression of our signature silhouette, The Petite Adrienne makes a sharp statement with its sculptural form in croc vegan leather. Designed with a top zip closure, removable interior pouch, and an adjustable crossbody strap, it offers versatility without sacrificing shape. Whether worn by the handle or across the ...

Hello, fellow beauty lovers! I hope you’re all doing great and feeling ready for the weekend you’ve been eagerly anticipating. Primally Pure is quickly becoming one of my favorite beauty brands because they offer amazing non-toxic products. While browsing their website, I came across the Jelly to Milk Cleanser. With my compromised skin barrier, I have to avoid anything that could make it worse than it already is. That’s why I wanted to share this product, so you can consider adding it to your skincare routine for the upcoming winter season. The Jelly to Milk Cleanser combines the nourishing comfort of a cleansing balm with the fresh, clean-rinsing finish of a water-based cleanser. Beginning as a rich jelly and transforming into a silky milk the moment it hits water, this barrier-first formula dissolves daily buildup while helping replenish and reinforce the moisture barrier – leaving your skin feeling cushioned, not compromised. This is priced at $48.00. https://primallypure.com/produc...

It’s Hispanic Heritage Month, so I’m excited to share some amazing beauty products from brands worth knowing. While browsing the Thirteen Lune website, I came across the Macabalm Moisturizing Balm and thought it would be a great pick for the upcoming cold season, especially for anyone with dry skin. Macabalm is a female-founded, Australian-made and owned brand that’s redefining natural organic skincare. Using only the highest quality natural ingredients, responsibly sourced and carefully chosen for their purity and proven effectiveness, Macabalm has earned its place as a trusted and eco-conscious name in the beauty industry.
