Current Favorites – Early Spring 2018

March 28, 2018

I can’t believe March is over! It really flew by. Here is a round up of my favorites from the month.

Four Sigmatic Coffee – Lions Mane & Chaga – I can’t drink coffee on a daily basis, but when I do drink it at home and not in a coffee shop, I like Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee. If you want to find out more, check out this Four Sigmatic mushroom coffee review!

Vatika Oil (Coconut Hair Oil) – I’ve rediscovered how much I like using Vatika oil as a pre-poo treatment before washing my hair. Vatika Oil is basically coconut oil with Henna and other herbs mixed in that you can purchase from your local Indian Grocery Store or online.

Curls Lavish Curls Spray Moisturizer -I’m always on the hunt for leave in conditioning sprays for refreshing my hair for twisting and styling. This is my current go-to.

Giada Braided Faux Leather Satchel – Sole Society – I’ve given my go-to black tote a rest and am using a gray one in honor of lightening up colors for Spring.

50mm Round Sunglasses Nordstrom I’ve found that round sunglasses suit my face shape, I wore round sunnies like this on my trip earlier this month to Mexico City.

The Kyoto Earrings – One Story – Moorea Seal Store – I’m loving statement gold earrings like these lately. They go with everything and look nice with hairstyles of all types.

Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume – I’m still on a quest for a signature scent for Spring and Summer, I don’t think this one is the one I’ll land on but I still like it.

River Island Tailored Boy Blazer – Yellow – ASOS – So I don’t have this specific blazer, I actually dyed a blazer myself a bright yellow and have been wearing it regularly this month to brighten up my wardrobe despite the fact that it’s too early in the season to wear my warm weather favorites.

Palo Santo – I’ve taken to lighting some Palo Santo to cleanse the energy of myself and my home on a regular basis.

Current Favorites – Winter 2018

February 5, 2018

Here are my favorites that got me through a seemingly long winter, 2018.

Bordeaux Faux Leather Jacket // My favorite layering piece of the moment. I wear it under dresses for work or over jeans on weekends.

Pixi Glow Mist // A make-up setting spray that gives my face a nice finish for the day.

Thayers’s Rose Petal Witch Hazel // This is year-round favorite! I love putting this in a spray bottle and spritzing my face before moisturizing and applying make-up.

Leuchtturm1917, Berry // Since I’m trying this Bullet Journal thing again in 2018, I chose this as my 2018 bullet journal.

Gaia Herbs RapidRelief™ Echinacea Goldenseal // I’ve been taking this supplement for a boost to my immune system wince it seems like everyone around me is getting colds, flus, etc.

Hi-Wildflower Candle – Mojave // I bought all of the scents of the trio I purchased and will definitely go back and order larger sizes of my favorite, Mojave.

Primally Pure Charcoal Deodorant // I tend to rotate my deodorants and I really like this deodorant by Primally Pure because it’s formula doesn’t irritate my underarms (that are sensitive to baking soda), but it’s still effective.

Spirulina Powder // I’ve taken to adding Spirulina into my daily morning Matcha for a nutritional boost.

Hex Ferments Glow Sauerkraut // I’m not that consistent with taking a probiotic on a daily basis, but I am pretty consistent as having spoonful of sauerkraut as an after lunch snack. This one is my favorite. I purchase it from DC area Whole Foods or the Dupont Circle Farmers Market in DC.

Dr. Teals Pure Epsom Salt with Lavender // My favorite winter time ritual is to take Epsom salt baths in the evenings. It’s a great way to decompress from a long day and has other health benefits.

Current Beauty Favorites Winter Edition

January 10, 2018

I’m a beauty and skincare loyalist: I find products that work for me and I don’t really deviate. When the seasons change, I evaluate what works and add or subtract things based on the weather: Winter means more moisturizing and trying to add a bit of glow to my skin during these cold winter months. With that in mind, here are the current products in my rotation.

My Go-To Oils for Hair and Skincare

June 8, 2017

From a very young age I remember seeing my mother apply oils to her skin on a regular basis. I never really thought much of it. But as I get older and more aware of the toxins in many skincare products, I find myself resorting to using primarily oils for all of my hair, face and body moisturizing needs. Something else that I have been seeing a lot of lately that I would like to give a mention to is cbd oil. I’ve noticed the growing popularity of cbd skincare products and I watch a number of YouTubers who swear by oils like this, especially when it comes to skincare and managing the buildup of dandruff on their scalp. The good thing about wanting to experiment with various skincare products is that because of the internet, it has never been easier to get your hands on what you want. A quick look into finding cbd oil online is all you need. When it comes to trying out natural oils, they may do more wonders than you think, but you won’t know unless you try. You don’t have to wait until you head into town to pick up what you want, especially as products such as cbd oil cannot be found just anywhere. If this is something that you think you would like to give a go, these are the best CBD oils in the UK. It’s worth doing your research into anything new that you are not familiar with, especially when it comes to your skin and hair. Anyway, here is a list of the go-to oils I use on a regular basis on my skin and hair.
