Once You Stop Living You Start Aging

Once You Stop Living You Start Aging

“When you stop living is when you stop aging.” [ad name=”In Content Responsive Ad”] Are you surprised as I am that I’m actually sorta consistent with my fashion post? My capsule wardrobe is kinda non-existent for the summer, but I’m making it work and being creative. Amongst all the talk about crucial issues on Twitter like Black Lives Matter and the conversation on deescalating interactions with the Police so that our African American men and women make it home, there was a light-hearted conversation about how people born in the 80’s were officially old.  I was born in the early…

Are You Applying Your Skincare in the Proper Order?

Are You Applying Your Skincare in the Proper Order?

The Beauty aisles can be a scary place, especially if it’s your first time venturing into the world of glam. The skincare aisles are even more daunting with cleansers, night oils, sheet mask, toners, and serums galore. After chatting it up with the beauty concierge, dropping a good portion of your paycheck, and going home with the brand new skin care regimen, you realize you have no idea what product you’re supposed to use first, and you find yourself wondering if the toner should go before or after the serum. This ultimately leads to feeling like skincare is too much…

This year I have absolutely fallen in love with skincare. I’m not sure what the catalyst was that made me start to take my skin care so seriously, but now it’s a ritual I do not miss. I’m often surprised by the amount of people in their late 20’s and up who don’t take skincare seriously. Yea soap and water works, but it’ll only go so far. What most people fail to realize is that their skin is a canvas and the smoother the canvas the more flawless your makeup looks. You also don’t have to use as much makeup…

Why I’m Choosing a Staycation.

Why I’m Choosing a Staycation.

This post is part of a Sponsored series with #Listerine and SocialStars #bringoutthebold  It seems as if everyone around me is preparing to go on epic vacations. I haven’t been on a proper vacation in forever so I’ve become accustomed to living vicariously through everyone else. The main reason we haven’t packed our bags and jet-setted is because each year we choose to use the money for other things, you know like purchasing a home and for the past two years, we’ve been tackling paying off debt.
