On My Beauty Wishlist: Oui The People Souk Honey Eau De Parfum.

Image
Hello, fellow beauty lovers! On this Thursday, I hope everyone is doing well and feeling ready for the weekend we’ve all worked so hard for. This February, I’m featuring Black-owned beauty brands, including this gem. One of my favorite compliments to receive is, “You smell good.” While browsing the Oui The People website, I came across The Souk Honey Eau De Parfum. I adore perfumes with a honey scent—they take me right back to my childhood. Naturally, I had to share it with all my friends, because that’s just the kind of friend I am. Soulful, layered, and deeply personal, Souk Honey is a story told on the skin—a delicate, long-lasting fragrance that stays close. Like the first rays of sunlight, top notes of orange blossom and neroli nectar uplift, capturing the quiet radiance of a slow morning.

Hello everyone, and happy Wednesday to all the fashion lovers out there. I hope your morning is off to a great start and that you’re already counting down the days until the weekend. While watching the Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2026 Ready-To-Wear Collection, I spotted the Bolero Bowling Bag and later read an article about it in Fashion Magazine. It felt like a sign that I had to share this bag with you so you could check it out and consider adding it to your collection.

Black Owned Shoe Brand That You Need To Know About: Vaila Shoes.

Image
Hello everyone, and happy Sunday! I hope you’re all doing well during this snowstorm and staying as fashionable as possible. Today marks the start of Black History Month, and I want to share a shoe brand that caters to women with larger feet, like me. While scrolling through Instagram, I came across Vaila Shoes and loved how stylish and reasonably priced they were. I feel it's only right to spread the word about this brand so you can support this Black- and woman-owned business. Ahriana Edwards started Vaila Shoes out of frustration from never being able to find her shoe size in quality high heels. Having always had larger feet than the average woman, she spent years feeling left out, frustrated, and confused. Left out because the most stylish shoes rarely came in her size, frustrated because her size deserved as much attention as smaller ones, and baffled that fashion, despite becoming more inclusive, still overlooked the need for fashionable, high-quality heels in extended sizes....

Hello, beauty lovers! Wishing everyone a fantastic Friday and hoping you’re ready to enjoy the snowy weekend ahead. Cheekbone Beauty is an Indigenous-owned beauty brand I discovered while reading an issue of Allure Magazine. Browsing their website, I came across the Revive Hydrating Lip Balm and fell in love with how sheer it is—you can wear it with lip liner or on its own. And because I’m such a great friend, I just had to share this gem with you all. The Revive Hydrating Lip Balm is perfect for those who aren’t big on lip products but still want their lips to look and feel great. It combines the comfort of a balm, the nourishment of an oil, and a soft, flattering tint that enhances your natural lips without the mess, shine, or boldness of lipstick or gloss. Available in three shades, it’s priced at $24.00. https://www.cheekbonebeauty.com/products/revive-hydrating-lip-balm?utm_source=email&utm_medium=campaign&_kx=--n36F3zDH8luH_fhifQ2Q-kbrGv_xfHl2bYnlxU6kbK98GMRr_0wsqlMEEPhA6T...
