ULTA’s New Brands and Why I’m Slowly Leaving Sephora

ULTA’s New Brands and Why I’m Slowly Leaving Sephora

As a beauty blogger, I spend a ridiculous amount of money on cosmetics. This number has greatly reduced since I’ve been on this big push to pay off all my student loans, hopefully, in the next two years plus my taste in cosmetic brands has changed. With that being said I’ve still somehow been a member of Sephora’s VIB Rouge program for the last three years. Sephora originally touted their VIB Rouge program as this prestigious group of beauty enthusiast that got perks on perks on perks.

[ad name=”In Content Responsive Ad”] One of my favorite things to do is to go to work with a new hairstyle and watch all the confused looks I get from co-workers who don’t understand that to women of color hair is seen more so as an accessory rather than well just something that grows out of our heads.

Lately, I’ve been wearing…

Even though I’m only playing one of those Insta-drool worthy meal planners one week out of the month I still pretty much get bored with my meals. It’s…

My Experience Wearing a Custom Wig Made with Indique Pure Wavy Closure

Somehow I’m still growing out my tapered hair cut. I’ve come a LONG way and with the help of my stylist Sheena at Queen Stylista’s Mane Artistry it’s on the right track to finally become something other than a tapered style. Now that my hair is in awkward stage I’ve been fighting with different things to do with it.

Delicious Healthy Meals that Fit into my Carefree Life!

This post is sponsored by Babbleboxx.com on behalf of Healthy Choice. All opinions are my own. I’ve talked about health and weight loss a good bit on this platform. It’s something that all women deal with on different levels. I’ve had my fair share of fights with my weight, but this year I’ve decided to love myself no matter what. Now I’m focused on doing small things to make me feel better about myself like being a bit more active in ways that I enjoy. No more of that forcing myself to do things that I hate that supposedly make me…
