  • Learning to Be Happy from Within

    Hey Everyone! I hope you are doing well. It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. There’s been so much going on lately and I’ve found it hard to sit down on at my computer and write. I guess I’ve been having a lot of writers block lately. there’s so much happening in the world, it feels almost trivial to write my blog when there are so many things I should be devoting my time too. The past few weeks, I’ve been debating whether I should publish a blog post because I’m not sure whether it would be insensitive to everything going on, you know? There are so many…

  • My Favorite Makeup Brushes… In Blue of course.

    When it comes to makeup application, having good makeup brushes is a must. The quality of your brushes can really determine the outcome of your look. One of my favorite purchases from the recent Black Friday was the Luxie Dreamcatcher Brush Set. I’ve wanted these brushes for a while and Black Friday was the perfect opportunity to purchase them. I was able to get them for $70 which I felt was a really good price considering that they’re usually over $100. Before I bought the brushes I did a lot of research on different brush sets and decided that these were the set I wanted. Being that they are a…

  • Taking Time to Check-in With Yourself. Selfcare.

    One of my favorite songs this week has been Hell and High Water by Major Lazer, Alessia Cara, and Diplo. I love the song because it talks about getting back up after going through something rough. It talks about things knocking you down but being able to get back up and keep going. Despite the hardship, you’re able to keep moving. Over the years, one thing I’ve learned about myself is that every now and then, I’ve got to take some mental health time. I didn’t really start doing this until I got older. I got older which meant that I was learning about a lot that was hard to…

  • The Seasons Are Changing, is Your Skincare?

    Now that fall is here, there are a lot of changes that I make to some of my usual routines. Especially in my skincare. When it comes to taking care of my skin, that’s something that I’m really passionate about. Learning about my skin and what works well for it is something that has taken me years to figure out. Even today, there are still some things that I’m still learning. One of the first steps to figuring out your skincare routine is to figure out what type of skin you have. Is it combination, sensitive, dry, oily? This will help you determine what ingredients you need in your skincare…

  • Pressing Procrastination and How to Get Rid of It.

    How many times have you sat behind your computer, knowing that you have work to get done but instead, you open up Netflix, and before you know it you’ve watched an entire movie and gotten no work done? I know I have. I’ll know very well that I have a lot of work to get done but somehow, that work doesn’t get done and I stress myself out about it the night before. With the distraction of social media and other apps, it’s SO easy to get distracted. It doesn’t help that Netflix takes less than 30 seconds to load my favorite show. Maybe if it took longer, I’d get…

  • What Does Beauty Mean to You?

    That’s a fair question, right? Some would say that it’s easy enough to answer. To some beauty is something that’s easily defined. It’s not complicated and they know it when they see it. Many people cannot say the same. Beauty is a term that is vast and has so many definitions. It’s always evolving and because of this, some do not know what truly defines beauty. I mean, what is beauty? How can we really define it? Sure, we all have people or things that we believe are beautiful but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Therefore, what’s beautiful to me is not always going to be beautiful…

  • Makeup Chic

    Hey Everyone! I sincerely apologize for not updating for the past two weeks! Life has been really busy but I’m back! It’s been a little hard to catch up with everything but hopefully I can keep up. So, we’ve finally moved on to Skin Care, Nails, makeup, etc. I’ve been super excited about this unit since I the first day I arrived at school. I guess it’s because I used to do art and with makeup and nails, it’s like a fresh blank canvas for me to create whatever I want.  Before I started this unit, I used to try to learn how to do makeup on my own but then…
