Tips and Tricks for Makeup and Beauty Lovers
1. Know your dupes!! As nice as it would be to have lots of extra money for luxury beauty items, if you are just starting out that's probably not the case. There are lots of higher end products that have drug store dupes. One great source for finding inexpensive options is the instagram page @dupethat. They compare high and low priced items and review products. I will link their Instagram below.

6 Reasons to Shave Your Head
We all have things in life that make us, us. Things that people notice when they first meet you, or how people describe you. My hair was one of my favorite attributes of myself and one that definitely described me.

Should you decide to experiment with cupping, you needn't worry that the suction will cause you any distress.

How I Cured My Acne
I was a freshman in high school and everything was so incredibly new. The school, the students and also... my skin. You see, I had fallen victim to what is called, "puberty." Such a natural thing to have occurred, yet probably the worst experience of my life. That's an over exaggeration, see I'm just an angsty teenage girl.

The Acne Aftermath: Self Esteem
Everyone knows that when acne heals it generally leaves scars on the skin. What some people don’t know is that even when the smoke clears to reveal clear skin with minimal visible scars, the emotional scars will be there. I’ve had acne since I was 11 years old. It came and went with different treatments but I spent the majority of my teenage years hiding severe cystic acne under layers of foundation. When I say severe, I’m not being dramatic. There were days I couldn’t get out of bed because it was physically and emotionally painful, and others where I cried for a few minutes before pulling myself together, covering my skin with makeup, and leaving the house because nobody considers acne a reasonable excuse for missing school.

Beauty Treatments That Are Expensive but Totally Worth It
There are many beauty treatments out there that are expensive and don’t seem to be worth it whatsoever. There’s no need to spend thousands of dollars on any beauty treatment that’s not going to effectively improve your skin or your well-being. For celebrities and other wealthy people who have the money to spend though, some of these outrageously expensive treatments may be totally worth it. Dripping yourself in diamonds and other rare facial treatments may be just what you need to feel like a queen—pampered and refreshed! Here are some beauty treatments that are expensive but may also be worth the money (if you have it to blow).

Eyelash Extension FAQ and Aftercare
Lash extensions are a popular service that add length and thickness to your natural eyelashes by having a synthetic lash applied to each of your lashes individually. This takes the time that you would normally spend putting on mascara or false lashes out of your routine. They can look very natural or you can go full glam. Many lash growing serums can stain your skin or harm your natural lashes. If your natural lashes are compromised, the lash extensions won’t last as long.

One Bald Babe
There's this saying that goes: "a woman who cuts off/shaves off all her hair is about to do something to change her life." I've seen it spun 900 different ways. "Her life is changing," "get out of the way," "she can't be stopped," blah blah. There's something ahead, and the removal of all or most of her hair is the starting point. I get it—a woman's crowning glory is her hair. This has been especially true as a Black woman. We go into battle over our hair, choosing sides and fighting over what's best. We fight society about what's professional and what's "ghetto." We fight ourselves, trying to find out what's right for our own souls and happiness. I went from my natural baby hair to my unruly kiddie hair (that was eventually relaxed), and my teen years full of either getting it done or doing whatever in-between. I decided, as an adult, to go natural.
