 It's another Friday eve, You deserve a pat on the back for making it another week. I hope that all of you will have a relaxing weekend.  I've really been wanted to try so all-natural skincare and I discovered Pura Botanicals is a skincare brand that I really have been loving lately, I came to know about them while I was on social media one day and I wanted to see what they had to offer. What I found out about this is that they have amazing skincare without all of the nasty things that we don't even know about.

Their potions contain plant and flower-derived essences, organic and wild-harvested ingredients.

All Dressed Up And Finally Somewhere To Go.

 Happy Tuesday my fellow Fashion Lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and wearing something absolutely fabulous.  Dresses are my go-to for Summer, I don't always want to wear shorts, and let's be honest, it's way too hot to wear jeans or sweatpants out to the grocery store. I'm not going to wear a tight dress, I'm beyond over the tight dresses, I just want to be as comfortable as I can be. I was reading the July issue of Instyle Magazine and I saw some amazing dresses that I love and that are definitely my style. Classic yet fashionable at the same time, As a woman, I love to dress classic, and showing too much is NOT my style at all. I feel that you can still be sexy without showing all of your bits to the world, I'm 31 years old and my mother will still make me change my outfit if my shorts or a dress that I'm wearing is too short. I've seen the Knitted Dress trend everywhere this Summer, I know for some of you knits are for the Fall and Winte

 Hello, my lovelies. I've missed y'all so much, and Happy Friday Eve to you all. We have made it to another well-deserved weekend to relax and charge our batteries.  Last year, I was reading the May Issue of Harper's Bazaar Magazine (AKA The Beauty Issue.) and I saw this cleanser from a brand that I never heard of before, so being the beauty lover I am, I decided to check them out. Before I tell you about the cleanser, I want to let you more about Naturopathica.  Naturopathica was founded on the belief that herbalism, naturopathic medicine, and holistic wellness should be coupled with cutting-edge science to offer deeper beauty to all. To address concerns, they consider the skin itself but also understand it as a reflection of the body’s interior health. With their herbal remedies, tinctures, aromatherapies, and highly efficient topical treatments, they improve skin’s function and appearance at a deeper, more efficacious level. They never use toxic ingredients that could be

 Oh, how I missed you all so much. I hope that all of you had an amazing weekend and a great start to your workweek.  I was on the Black Owned Everything, (@blackownedeverything) Instagram Page, and I saw these amazing shoes by this brand called AM: PM London, so I decided to look into this brand and I'm so happy that I did and desperately want a pair in my closet for myself. Am: Pm was sparked by years of experiencing discomfort whilst wearing heels as well as the limited selection of shades found when searching "nude". Am: Pm was founded in 2020 aiming to prove heels can be great quality and modern without compromising on comfort, by focusing on refined designs for contemporary women.  All of their designs are original, created with their customers in mind. we focus on diversity, design & quality that instantly elevates any outfit. with comfort and style embedded in the unique designs, we can all confidently glide in heels from Am to Pm.

 Happy Friday Eve my fellow Beauty Lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and are ready to enjoy your well-deserved weekend.  Having a self-care routine is such an important thing for all of us to have in our lives. My self-care routine really helped me get through last year and helped me with loving myself more than I ever did. One thing that I introduced into my beauty routine is doing a face mask once a week, I love to take care of my skin by doing a face mask and read an article in one of my favorite fashion magazines or on a fashion website and let the mask do its magic. I went on a new beauty website called Thirteen Lune website (It's a website where Black and Latina beauty brands are sold.) and I saw this mask that caught my attention, so I went to do some research and I found that this company has some great products, but it's also Black-Woman Owned as well. In 2017, Mary Louise was founded with the mission of creating nourishing and clean beauty products that ma

 Happy Tuesday to all of my Fashion lovers, I hope that all of you had a great weekend and a great start to your workweek.  I believe that my love for Hoops earrings started when I was five years and my mother gifted me a pair of gold hoops earrings. As many of you know, I love a great pair of hoop earrings. They just complete an outfit for me and I find that they make me feel that I'm dressed up without trying too hard. But there's one pair of hoop earrings that I want to be apart of my hoop earring rotation. While I was on a local boutique on Facebook and I saw a pair of Sheila Faji hoops earrings, I've always been a fan of her jewelry, but there was something about her hoop earrings that just made me want to save up and buy my first pair for myself. Born in Brazil and now a proud Californian, Sheila Fajl brings her extensive fashion industry experience to her refreshingly simple yet elegant jewelry lines. Sheila began her fashion career as a model and went on to succeed

On My Beauty Wishlist: Mented Cosmetics Everyday Eyeshadow Palette

 Happy Thursday everyone, or Friday Eve as it is known to be. I hope that all of you are doing well and looking forward to enjoying your weekend and will try new beauty products that you've been wanting to try out for yourself.  Now, if you have read my blog before, I've featured Mented Cosmetics. It's a Black-Owned cosmetics company that has lipstick that catered to not just African American women, but to all women as well. I saw the Everyday Eyeshadow Palette when I was looking on the Ulta website and I fell in love with the colors and how that I can wear these every day.  The Everyday Eyeshadow palette was designed with our melanin in mind, and this ultra-chic, slim-fit packaging makes it much easier to take on the go. Each shade packs enough pigment to envelop our lids in the gorgeous nude and neutral shades we all love. The sophisticated 9-shade collection has exactly the right colors to take us from our morning meeting to post-work drinks and everything in between. Di

Summersalt And I Are Besties

 Happy Tuesday fashion lovers, I hope that all of you have a great work week and you all had a great weekend. I couldn't wait for us to be together and talk about the latest fashion trends, new fashion designers, and brands that I'm loving at the moment.  Now, we are in the full swing of Summer, and I don't know about you but swimsuit shopping let alone wearing a swimsuit in front of people scared the living daylights out of me. I'm a plus-sized woman and I make no apologies about it at all and for someone who used to weigh 320lbs, I've come a long way and for the first time in my 31 years in this world, I LOVE MYSELF and you should too.  I came to know about the brand Summersalt when I was looking for a plus-sized swimsuit to buy for myself and they were the first brand to pop up on my google search. What I love about Summersalt is that there’s no middleman here, which means we, the consumer get the best designer quality at the best price. They have taken over 1.5
