On My Beauty Wishlist: Sarah Creal Face Flex Concealer & Complexion Enhancer.

Image
My fellow beauty enthusiasts, I'm so thankful to be here with all of you on this Thursday/Friday eve. I always feel so happy when the weekend finally arrives. Sarah Creal is quickly becoming one of my favorite beauty brands. I absolutely love the aesthetic of the brand and the sleek packaging of their products. While browsing their website, I came across the Face Flex Concealer and Complexion Enhancer, and I’m convinced that every woman needs a great under-eye concealer to achieve an overall flawless makeup look. A medium-coverage, brightening concealer and moisturizing foundation that instantly blurs dark circles, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and blemishes with a velvety, airbrushed finish. This silky, buildable hybrid formula glides over the skin, setting seamlessly to flex with every smile or frown without creasing or fading for over 12 hours. Packed with skincare actives, it promotes plumper, smoother, and healthier-looking skin. This is priced at $ 58.00. https://sarahcrealbeau...

My Fall Fashion Obsession: Cow Print.

Image
Hello to all my fellow fashion lovers this Tuesday! I hope you had an amazing weekend and are off to a fantastic start to your work week. I know, animal print for every season—groundbreaking. But it’s true, as far as I’m concerned, animal print is a neutral. The one fashion rule I’ll teach my future daughter when she’s young is that “animal print is your friend.” While rewatching the Stella McCartney Fall/Winter 2023 Ready-To-Wear Collection, I felt it was a clear sign this trend was destined to be huge. While browsing the Aldo website, I came across the Smallharperr bag and thought it would be the perfect addition to my fall wardrobe. The Smallharperr cow print hobo bag instantly elevates any everyday look with its trendy pattern and relaxed, slouchy silhouette, making it ideal for carrying essentials in style. Perfect for adding a bold touch to both casual and chic outfits, it’s a must-have for anyone looking for a fresh, eye-catching accessory. This charming piece is available in a ...

Happy International Women's Day and happy Sunday, fellow style enthusiasts. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their weekend. Since I saw YouTuber Stine Eleonora Honoré wearing the Haze earrings, I have been a fan of the Le Nora jewelry brand. I had to tell you lovely people about this woman-owned brand and these gorgeous earrings because I adore their simplicity and how I would wear them in my daily life. Stine started Le Nora in 2022 because she wanted to be elegant and sophisticated. She looked for jewelry that supported her self-expression, resonated with her values, and complemented her elegant yet modest style. Le Nora believes that jewelry has the ability to convey a narrative. Strength, self-assurance, and uniqueness are embodied in every piece they create. They create collections that ignite inner confidence and spark conversations, drawing inspiration from the graceful and resilient modern woman.

  I hope you're having a good Friday, friends and fashionistas. We survived to have another weekend. As a 35-year-old, this is my final blog post before I take a birthday vacation. I had to give you guys something to read over the course of the week before I could do that, though. One of my favorite fashion brands is Khoi, a Black-owned company that offers distinctive pieces for women who don't mind being noticed. I saw the Anka Tote on their website, and as many of you are aware, handbags are my biggest weakness. I had to tell you about this bag because I adore you all so much.

Hey fashion lovers, on this Monday, I hope that all of you are doing well, had a great weekend, and are ready to tackle the week.

On My Fashion Wishlist: Either/Or The Heeled Ballet.

Image
Greetings and happy Friday, fellow fashion enthusiasts. I hope everyone has a great weekend after putting in a lot of effort. As the eternally fashionable Victoria Beckham once said, "I can't concentrate in flats." One of my favorite companies, Either/Or for the Heeled Ballet, sent me a flyer via email. For any woman who wants to wear a flat but still add a little height, I think this is the best of both worlds. Because that's what good friends do, I had to discuss this stylish shoe. A vintage-inspired snipped toe adds a casual yet sophisticated touch. I adore the suede pumps' carefree adaptability. A feminine touch is added by the dainty Mary Jane bow tie. Ideal for everyday wear with jeans or dressed up for special occasions. These flats cost $320.00 and are available in five different colors. https://shopeitheror.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/the-heeled-ballet-camel?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&_kx=FUJfTyDQ_SdcKX3oxQmel7fQV9IvEJIlw6vLsIBo...

Greetings, fellow beauty lovers! This Thursday finds us hoping everyone had a wonderful week and is feeling ready for the weekend ahead. As a plus-sized woman, I take my hygiene very seriously, including my feminine care. I’ve been following Salt.Xo for a long time and have always loved supporting Black woman-owned businesses that offer products that truly work. I just wanted to share this brand in case you haven’t heard of it yet. Jhalesa Seymour, Founder and CEO of Salt.xo, and she often say I didn’t find Salt.xo—Salt.xo found her. The company was born during a time of personal discovery. Before creating a single product, she spent seven months researching and studying natural ingredients and their healing properties for skin, hair, and of course, the yoni. In 2018, with just $67 and a vision, she launched her natural feminine hygiene brand while attending the University of Central Florida.

 Hello and Happy Friday to all of my fellow fashion lovers, I hope that you all had a great work week and are gearing up for your weekend.
