    Say goodbye to Summer: how to transition your beauty products to Fall!

    With the seasons changing, it’s time to break out the sweaters, boots, pumpkins. It’s also time to take inventory of summer makeup and skincare and transition into fall colors and products for more hydration. I personally love taking a new season as inspiration to switch up what I am currently using for skincare and also play with makeup looks. This time of year, the weather does transition to colder, which is the gateway for you to reevaluate skincare needs. When I was younger, I thought that whatever skincare I used would work forever.

My idea of protection was slathering on Banana Boat body oil and feeling the burn!

    Acne Struggles? Try this mask!

    I have struggled with acne my entire life. Acne on my face, neck and chest is something that has always been an issue on my skin but I NEVER took the time to even ask why this could be. A few years ago, I decided to dig deeper and that’s when I associated a lot to my personal care products, my diet and then stress. Stress is the constant factor in my acne as of right now as I’ve worked on all of the other issues. I have had a lot of friends and family message me asking what to do about their “mask-ne”(acne as a result of wearing a…

    How I Live With Psoriasis + What I Did To Heal My Skin

    I am not a medical doctor. All things shared are my personal opinion and are what I’ve used in my life and seen results. I always encourage you to talk to your healthcare provider and research for yourself when it comes to medical advice. I don’t know if y’all know this or not but I suffer from an autoimmune disease called Psoriasis. I’ve had this for as far back as I can remember but it wasn’t until recently that I knew what I was dealing with. Psoriasis is described as a common issue that people can get from genetics, vaccine reactions or triggered by something in their environment and is…
