Glam Gallery: How I De-stress

The first post of the new year...School has taken up literally all my time. Speaking of which I know a lot of you go through the same thing and this post is all about how I personally manage that. In terms of stress or de-stressing. If you wanna know how I manage to stay sane during any stressful season in my life, this post is for you♥. I hope it's helpful. Tell me what you think in the comments below ↧ 🎔                                 Photo creds to HealthProductsForYou.com Bed of Nails. Acupressure is a centuries-old Asian practice used for meditation and healing. It is a mild alternative to acupuncture that can be done at home and has the same amazing results on the body. There's an endless list of benefits that I encourage you to research but today we're covering stress management on the mind & body. Stress takes a physical toll on my body personally. I tend to hold a lot of tension in my jaw, which I don't realize until it causes me to have a

Holaaaa and welcome to what is probably the last blog post of 2017😭 With that being said I just wanted to give quick thanks to anyone who viewed, liked, commented, shared, subscribed to this blog, I really appreciate it💕 Thanks so much for the support. Before the year was over I just wanted to share my fave beauty products with you guys, I'll have links down below as well as mini reviews on each product. Comment one blessing from 2017 down below✨↓  The Everything in the shade  Sardinia  by  Kiss and smink It comes in three shades but Sardinia is what I got in my  Lip Monthly  bag. I believe this product is meant to be used as multitasking stick. My favorite way to use this product is a cream highlighter and it is amazing. Crazy reflective, nice warm champagne undertone, it is absolutely beautiful. It almost gives a wet look to the cheeks. I wasn't expecting it to look the way it did at all. You can definitely get a subtle glow out of this depending on how yo

Glam Gallery: Brown Girl Reds

Hola, welcome or welcome back to my newly redesigned beauty space. Hope you guys are feeling the new aesthetic. I wanted to make a post about my favorite red lip colors. As a woman of color, these "universal" blue toned reds everyone in the beauty community is hyping up look ridiculous on dark skin, in my opinion. I think that us, brown girls need specifically could benefit from a difference of opinion. Red lipstick is such a classic staple color on every woman's vanity, and there is a red for every skin tone. These are my favorite. I hope they're helpful 💄  1.)  The  Quince + Crimson Long Lasting Velvet Lip/ Cheek Crayon  from  Seraphine Botanicals . I  didn't see myself liking this but I gave it a try and fell in love. the finish is so beautiful. That's probably just a preference of mine because  I love matte lips and eyes.  The finish really is velvety and i love the way the color pops on my skin tone. I'm deep/dark with golden undertones ,  Neut

Glam Gallery: Nail Care/ How to grow your nails

If you're a returning subscriber/reader thank you and welcome back💞 If you're new here welcome, thanks for clicking my link🤗 Product list+ links down below as always💅 Should I do more posts like this?  Tell me what you think about today's post in the comments↓ My nails naturally grow long and strong but with years of trial, error and research, I've learned how to properly take care of them. This nail routine is quite simple and as I mentioned before my nails do grow long naturally, so your results may not be like mine. However, I do guarantee healthier nails/ cuticles. With that being said let's get started. STEP 1: I start off every new manicure by massaging cuticle oil into my nails. I like to use castor oil as a cuticle oil, but you can use whatever kind you like.  Never forget to add some to the undersides, as that area can get dry.  I let the oil sink into my cuticles until they get soft. STEP 2: Push back your cuticles. I use  this one  f
