On My Beauty Wishlist: Glow Oasis

Image
 Hello beauty lovers, and Happy Thursday to you all. I hope that all of you are having a great day and taking care of yourself in the world that we live in right now.  I'm a nerd, I make NO apologies for it. But I love knowing what's in skincare and the health benefits that are in our everyday skincare. I was on the internet a few weeks ago and I saw this new skincare company called Glow Oasis and I decided to check it out for myself and my inner nerd came out in full force when I heard what they do for your skin.  For the founder's Vera Oh And Joseph Choi, It all started from a dinner one day at a Korean restaurant. Kimchi is a popular side dish in Korea that is made with napa cabbage. Kimchi is known for being packed with healthy probiotics from its fermentation process. They sourced the best napa cabbage from the highest mountains in Korea and sent it to a lab to develop our signature 100% vegan probiotics for our new skincare line. Their vegan probiotics, and other good

 I couldn't wait to get back to you all again. Happy Tuesday fashion lovers, I hope that all of you had a great day.  I don't know about y'all, but I'm so ready to get out of sweatpants ( I love a good sweatpants moment.) and start dressing up again. I really want to give my closet a little bit of a refresh because of all of the trends that I see in some of the magazines that I'm reading at the moment. Fashion brings me so much joy, I just can't help it.   I remember seeing the Patou Spring/Summer 2021 Ready-To-Wear Collection, I saw that Big Collar Blouses was going to be on-trend. I'm a fan of the brand Rixo and I saw this same exact shirt in the April issue of Instyle Magazine, This shirt retails for $190.00. https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-us/shop/product/rixo/clothing/blouses/misha-ruffled-floral-print-cotton-blouse/6630340696539632 Now, you guys know that I love a good menswear moment. They are just an unstated cool that I believe you can wear to the o

 Happy Thursday to all of my fellow beauty lovers, I hope that you have the most amazing plans for your weekend and buy something that has been on your beauty wishlist. I love to be on here and talk to your all and talk about all of the newest beautiful things that excite me in the beauty world.  I received an issue of Us Weekly and as I was reading it, I saw that one of my newest favorite fragrance brands Lake And Skye had a new fragrance called Canyon Rose so I went on their website to check it out for myself. This perfume is described as Inspired by the spirit of the desert this warm floral combines rose petals, geranium, and vanilla for an unexpected, intoxicating take on tradition. This warm floral has top notes of rose petals, a base of green apple and peach with geranium, patchouli, and vanilla. Now I know that this perfume is $98.00, but you are paying for quality and the packaging is minimalist, yet beautiful.  https://lakeandskye.com/products/canyon-rose-eau-de-parfum   Anoth

 Hello again Beauty Lovers, I hope that you have a great Thursday and we all have only one more day to the weekend (Yay Gawd.)  Now, I've been wanting to do this blog post for the longest time but I totally forgot to do it. I've been a huge fan of Thrive Causemetics for a long time and I love the meaning of the brand as well. Thrive Causemetics was born out of a friendship. Makeup artist and product developer, Karissa Bodnar, lost her dear friend Kristy to cancer at just 24 years old. Kristy’s compassionate and vivacious spirit inspired Karissa to establish Thrive Causemetics, a beauty brand, and philosophy that goes beyond skin deep by empowering women.  Thrive Causemetics is Bigger Than Beauty For every product you purchase, we donate to help a woman thrive. We believe changing the world starts with a single ingredient, and that’s why we create vegan, 100% cruelty-free formulas containing proven ingredients without the use of parabens or sulfates.

I have a feeling that we are going to have more normal days in our future soon and I don't know about y'all but I'm looking forward to it, I haven't hugged my grandmother in over a year and after I get myself vaccinated that's excatly what I'm doing.  I was on a website called Verishop, it's a website that has a lot of up-and-coming designers and designers that we all know and love.

Black Owned Skincare Brand: Noire Beaute

 Hello again to my fellow Beauty Lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and spreading positive vibes out in the world right now. I was watching a television show called Urban Beauty TV, it's a TV show dedicated to hair, health, makeup, style, and fashion through a multicultural lens. and I watched the first episode and I saw this new beauty brand called Noire Beaute started by two childhood friends. Noire Beaute was established by Brianna in late 2018. She had the vision to create a fun, creative, and clean skincare brand for skincare newbies like herself. She wanted to ensure other young girls, teens, and women who experience skin issues would have a product that was effective and safe while still being feminine, fun, and vibrant. Ashley came on board in 2020. She’s always been an integral addition behind the scenes since the beginning as she took on the role of the product tester, silent financial investor, the analytical critical thinker when it was needed most, and so mu

New Jewelry Brand That I'm In Love With: Alexa Kelley

 I hope that all of you are having a great Tuesday and I'm so happy to be back here with you again. I've been in love with dainty jewelry for the longest time, I learned my lesson from wearing big, gaudy jewelry as a teenager and in my twenties. I find that dainty jewelry is so feminine and appropriate for the Spring and Summer because let's be honest, I don't love wearing heavy jewelry during this time period, and besides, I want people to be around me because I made the right decisions when it came to my jewelry choices.  I was watching a video that Jaclyn Hill (The Queen Of Promoting Everything Just Like Oprah.)  did about her current favorites and she mentioned some rings from this brand that I've never heard of before called Alexa Kelly. So I went on the website and I knew that this brand matched my whole style aesthetic. Alexa Kelley is a collection of romantic and luxurious jewelry inspired by a lifelong bicoastal lifestyle, bringing together the sophisticati
