Fashion, Styling and Beauty.
Whether you have been on a skincare journey for long or you are just starting out, there are some basic skincare tools you will be needing. However, these tools are not exhaustive and you can add on to what you may consider basic or necessary depending on your skin needs.
On a day to day basis, these are the skincare tools I have come to realize are necessary especially when I take into consideration how regularly I do my skincare.
Whether you are graduating or a guest at a graduation ceremony, your outfit matters as there will be lots of picture moments. One of the best ways to look graduation appropriate is a blazer and wide leg pants. Although dresses are preferable, a blazer always makes you look more formal and chic.

Of course Spring has its own makeup look. It’s light and airy, a time to explore with more fun colors especially when it comes to creating a simple graphic eyeliner look. As someone who has tiny eye lids, I consider this one of the best ways to create an eye makeup without overpowering my lids.

Get ready to see more fun prints on your timeline this Spring. I love prints, especially colorful ones. From abstract to floral, geometric and in between, prints bring that interesting element to a plain look. They add character and motion to a whole outfit.
I only started wearing sunscreen six years ago and since then, I have never looked back. One of the best things you can do for your skin, is to judiciously apply sunscreen daily whether you are indoors and most especially outdoors.
Most days I wish I started earlier but I’m glad I have religiously stuck to a routine for a long time now. We all know how important it is to wear sunscreen, but do you really know the specific reasons why?
An all black outfit on this blog? Yes everyone needs a black piece of clothing in their closet because black is black when it comes to fashion and it’s always a ceremonial color when it comes to graduations, weddings, parties etc.

As a makeup collector, that goes without saying that I enrich my collection with highs and lows. I have been collecting more Chanel beauty products since I fell in love with their Les Bieges healthy glow bronzing cream. That product changed the way I thought about luxury makeup and decided to look into them more.
While I didn’t think much about luxury makeup brands, I always thought they were just about their name tags and nothing more because luxury doesn’t always mean the best.
As the weather gets warmer, I am gradually working on curating my Spring Summer wardrobe.
From cleaning out my closet to seeing what I have and don’t need, to utilizing what I already own and adding new pieces, I’m excited to tuck away my knitwears for more airy and lightweight pieces.
It is important to know what ingredients your skincare contains. Whether your skin differs from the next person or not, knowing the contents and its benefits will give you a better understanding on how it affects your skin on the long run.
With someone who has dry skin, I tend to incorporate clean skincare products that contain hydrating properties, and Squalane is one of them.

I am an huge advocate of shopping sustainably, which can also mean shopping from your closet or repurposing your already existing clothes without having to purchase new ones.
Another way of encouraging sustainable fashion is by thrifting. My closet consists of 45% thrifted clothes which I hoped to have increased by last year but I still find myself shopping other “fast fashion” brands. However, it is not easy to completely transform your wardrobe to 100% sustainable clothing as it is usually an ongoing process.
Not everyone is into a full glam look, so I decided to share a very simple makeup look as an inspiration for Valentine’s Day.
It’s also not surprising that many people are new to makeup and with that, the search for beginner tips are on the rise. Therefore, I would be sharing this look with minimal products, as something you can easily create at the comfort of your home with less products.
What can be considered a clean skincare product? This has been a question skincare and beauty brands have answered over time by introducing clean products to the public.
Of course taking a brand’s word on how clean their products are, is a bet on our skin.
Fashion trends that make come backs are usually ones to try out. Trends that go way back 90s and 2000s are beginning to debut in a more fashionable way for 2023 and they are definitely ones to hop on.
Whether you are into trends or not, these choker necklace trends are back in style and not just in their usual style, but in fashionable way. Let’s just say the ’90s trend has finally returned.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, I will be curating different makeup looks as an inspiration for that day. Whether you are celebrating yourself, with your significant other or your girlfriends, you want to have a flawless makeup look.
We all know skin like finish is prevalent right now in the makeup industry, but I will be focusing more on how I created the eye look and also listing all the products I used.
As Valentine’s day approaches, we will be thinking about outfits for that day, what to wear, and how to style them etc. These thoughts consists of a nice hair do, a makeup look, accessories and a good manicure. However, today’s post will be centered on “Valentine’s Day Outfit Ideas”

Blushes are highly underrated. They are the significant piece that ties what I define to be a good makeup look. Whether you are going for a natural everyday look, or a full glam, blushes will impact the overall look of your makeup.
In the same breath, I will choose a blush especially a cream blush over a foundation any day because I tend to wear blushes more than I would a foundation. With a good blush, some mascara and brow gel, you are set to hit the door for your day.
When you think about cozy and comfort, cable knits or chunky knitwears as they may be called, are one of the best choice. They embody the character of keeping you all bundled up and warm for the season.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing tips on how to style Cable knitwear for Fall.

Not everyone has a skincare routine. Some do but are not consistent and whichever category you fall under, I will not be judgmental as I was once in that boat and somedays I still find myself sailing that boat today.
One of the most asked questions on my Instagram is what product to use, how often to use it, recommend a good product, what are the best steps etc. I will be answering these questions on this blog post.

This is a simple and easy post ushering us into the new year and I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends. Mine was jam packed with fun activities that we couldn’t make it to all our invites. Just grateful for the new year, thankful for all your support on here and I believe 2023 will have better things in store for us all.
This year, I plan on infusing more lifestyle content to my blog. I already do, by writing on skincare tips but there are so many more ideas I will love to write about on here. I get lots of skincare questions on my social media pages so I’m inclined to provide more articles on that topic.
I want to look good but not totally at the expense of my pocket and drugstore makeup brands know how to do just that. However, this doesn’t mean I don’t or won’t own luxury makeup, as I currently own a couple sitting on my beauty counter.
The best part about these drugstore makeup brands is their affordability and they can do the work if not better than these high end brands. Also affordable makeup doesn’t mean they are substandard. In most cases, they are better than these luxury makeup brands out there.

We are a week down to Christmas and I’m so excited for all the festivities I have had so far. With that comes the idea of having a holiday makeup glam.
It’s either a simple holiday makeup look or a full glam look whichever you choose, it’s that time of the year where I wear more makeup than I would on every season of the year.
In the past year, tinted moisturizers have been on the rise and you wonder, what is their benefit and why are brands gearing towards it in recent times. Are they better than foundations? Are they replacing foundations? Where does a foundation stand?…
In today’s blog post, I will be answering these questions.
I am currently scrolling through the New York & Company website and I couldn’t help but share these amazing sale items with you all.
As I write this article, I already have some pieces, thankful for a good working relationship I have with them so I get to try most of their Newly launched items.

What really is a functional or capsule wardrobe? A lot of times, people answer this question based on their style preference. Items you consider that make up your functional wardrobe, may not apply to me and vice versa.
Today’s blog post, I will be listing a number of pieces that make up a capsule wardrobe for women.
The holiday season and the festivities that come with it is my favorite time of the year, and putting holiday outfits together is also exciting especially a sequin dress.
Today’s blog post is all about the styling a sequin dress. It is all about the glitz, glam, shine, metallic etc as opposed to the last blog post where I shared pieces that are festive worthy but do not include sequins.
A well deserved and relaxed time doesn’t always have to be in the four corners of an actual Spa. You can create a luxurious Spa moment for yourself in your home. All you need is the right tool and a nook to create that special self care spa experience at home.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing tips and tools to make your home a Spa.

With Fall, comes different techniques when doing your makeup. The cooler the weather, the heavy handed you may go when creating a Fall makeup look. It definitely isn’t necessary or advisable to have heavy makeup on, but we tend to leave light and airy looks for summer.
I usually go with bolder lips during Fall/winter- such as deep purple, dark browns, burgundy etc because they tend to depict Fall season and with a simple makeup look and a bold lip, you are good to go for a Fall/Winter look.

Maxi skirts are back and they came just right on time for Fall. Although they have always been around, they came back reinvented and stylish for Fall Winter. Of course I had to create this fall fashion trend by infusing colors because it depicts my personal style.
Speaking of maxi skirts, not only are they trending for Fall, they are also good layering pieces for the season. With a maxi skirt like mine, you can wear tights underneath for an extra layer of warmth.
It is that time of the year where we begin shooting Fall looks in the heat. Honestly, I am not upset about it as I love being a resource to you all. Now, the big question goes “Is a Fall look really complete without a touch of a classic houndstooth piece? The answer depends but for this post, we will say No.

One thing I love about bronzers and highlighters, is the fact that they are not seasonal and all skin tones can wear them especially the Iconic London products.
While they may not be for everyone, there is no doubt that for those of us who wear them, can attest to how they contribute to the flawless finish our make ups have. Not everyone wears makeup or goes the full mile of using bronzers and highlighters, but for us who do, we are always on the hunt for the best of the best and brands are ready to make available what they think is best.

You can never go wrong with any outfit that has a denim flare to it. Denim is classic, it’s vintage, it’s contemporary because it’s a fashion piece that is ever evolving.
One of the easiest ways to look put together is by throwing on a denim piece, whether that be a pair of jeans, skirt or shirt. They are easy to dress up or down.
The heat calls for all the beautiful, fun loving dresses you can have for summer and cottagecore/prairie dresses are best. Anything floral, gingham, plaid, prints, puff sleeves, loose fitting, flowy look, etc are all considered cottagecore.
This subtle ethereal look isn’t exclusive to those who love neutral outfits, but definitely open to every fashionable woman. I am continually drawn to the fit these prairie dresses give, as any figure can embody the style in a fantastic way.

While we love body fitting clothes, the oversized look is also here to stay and I must say I am really into it not just for the trend, but the comfort and silhouette it gives to an overall look. Not only is an oversized shirt a great styling piece, it is also beneficial in Summer because of the heat as we will be needing free flowing clothes.
However, most people tend to shy away from oversized clothing, because they feel they don’t get it right when it comes to styling.While I love my tight fitting clothes, I still make room for those baggy, loose fitting clothes especially wide leg pants!

Life gets busy, salon appointments get impossible to book, your hairstylist is out of town etc and all you need is some hair saving day, especially with the holidays right here, you are left with little or no option for your hair.

Today’s blog post is in collaboration with Luvme Hair and I will be sharing more on their wigs.
Overall, a good makeup look starts with an excellent base. Once you have the right skin work for your face, you can add on to what has been created.

Amazon has been showing out in its clothing department and I decided to check them out for some basic items which will be handy for layering in the winter months. I stumbled on this bodycon jumpsuit which comes in a ton of colors (trust amazon for multiple color options) and I got mine in this coffee brown and wine red.
This was one easy piece I wore, comes in a strechy fabric so I am currently wearing a size medium and it fits perfectly and comfortably. A bodycon one piece like this, is an easy item to use when layering for the winter months and because it’s lightweight/already feels like skin, it’s easily buildable into a more warm look for Fall/Winter.

It is a good way of highlighting your body structure while adding that extra glow fit for Spring Summer.
I got the Liquid Face and Body Highlighter in the shade “Strength” which is a radiant bronze pearl that reflects rose gold. This is a perfect shade for you if you like their Shimmering Skin Perfector in “Topaz”, which is an excellent shade for medium to dark skin. I still use the Skin Perfector to date and it’s one of the best or next to best highlighter I have used. Pairing both products together, will definitely give you a magical glow for Spring Summer.
I must state that anything “Rose gold” looks phenomenal on medium to dark Skin. From eyeshadows to highlighters and blush, Rose Gold is a great on that skin tone.
It is weightless, transfer and water resistant (definitely a great pick for beach or pool days if you are needing to maintain a glow while deeping and diving. Nicely fragranced and infused with a blend of Pineapple, fresh coconut and orange flower notes with a moisturizing formula that leaves you with uplifting scent. VIA BECCA COSMETICS.
It is highly pigmented and a little goes a long way. My first swatch, made me gasped!! The texture and consistency areincredible. It is smooth, intense and beautiful. You only need a little because it lasts a long time on.
I applied it to my chest area, shoulders and my cheeks, areas where I know the light will hit regularly, in other to give me the overall glow I intend to have. Great for day/night and definitely a product I highly recommend having and using this Body Highlighter Summer.

People are tending to sway more into ethical clothing because the environmental damage done in producing one new clothing item is devastating. One of the ways in which I project my views, is by encouraging secondhand shopping aka thrifting and restyling/repurposing clothes. In the bid to celebrating Earth day, a day where we highlight various ways to help protect the Environment, I decided to shed more light on this day and how it relates to fashion.
I have previously stated in a couple of my blog articles, that sustainability isn’t only associated with secondhand clothing or thrift finds, it is also the ability the restyle or repurpose your clothes in different ways which will be beneficial to our environment and less harmful to it. We are in the habit of purchasing the latest fashion, the new trend, the next sale or the newly launched item. Have you paused to ask “Do I need this many clothes or am I constantly consuming clothing items?” If the answer is YES, then you are going against SUSTAINABILITY and in the long run, harmful to the ENVIRONMENT.
I employ you to work through your closet, take a visual stock of what you currently have, play dress up to see how you can style and restyle items, make a list of items you think you “Need” and stick to that list so you don’t run into a shopping spree and crash into over consumption. When you continuously shop for new pieces, you tend to contribute in ways in which these clothing industries constantly produce clothes in large quantities. When we continuously help them “SELL OUT” we indirectly give them the nudge to produce more and in turn, affects the environment.

Having a night cream is as important as being consistent with your entire skincare routine. I recently got into using a night cream and incorporating it into my night time skincare routine, and I must say there is a difference. At night, your body/skin is a bit more relaxed and calm, making it possible for your skincare products to work effectively.
