I travel so often that you’d probably think I’d have my packing routine down to a T. While I can expertly Tetris all of my clothes and shoes into a small suitcase, I’ve never been able to figure out how to downsize my makeup and skincare routine. I simply must pack it all! That said, […]

Believe it or not, everyone has unique roles in friendships. Sometimes you’re the pal that nurses your besties through heartbreak.

Keeping your lips hydrated is an afterthought during the summer. But if you’re not making sure your pout stays moisturized in the heat and sun, it can lead to dry, cracked and burned lips. Add in windburn, and you’ve got painful and irritated lips. That’s why stocking up on lip balms that help beat dry […]

Ladies, I have found my signature scent, and it’s vanilla. I’m a vanilla fragrance connoisseur, and many brands in the market are trying to stay on trend by creating vanilla fragrances.

I’ll be honest with you, I was thinking about spending […]

I am very sensitive to smell. So much so that I usually opt out of added aromatherapy during spa services and reject the free air freshener at car washes. But when I come across a scent I like, I can’t get enough of it! They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but […]

I remember when highlighter first became incredibly popular in 2016. No makeup look of mine was complete without dusting a glittery powder along my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose and right on top of my cupid’s bow. My makeup tastes have changed quite a bit since then, and while I often look back […]
