My First Attempt at Bath Bombs
My sister came home one day and told us the recipe she has for her bath bombs. I was eager to get some done for a girl at work because she was so stressed out. I wanted to use Frankincense. It is commonly used in a lot of incense burning along with sandalwood and it is one of my favorite musky scents. I like floral scents, too, so I thought it would be nice to try and mix it with lavender. She requested blue-colored soaps and I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to try it out when my sister was still here.

Michelle Phan: 'Make Up'
Throughout our life, we absorb knowledge about beauty and style just from living our lives, trial and error. But how often do you personally experience, or know someone who does, that feeling of helplessness when it comes to beauty, fashion, or even acquiring a job? Or perhaps you feel rather confident when it comes to your skills in those areas. No matter who you are, what walk of life you come from, or how successful you already are, trust me when I say, Michelle Phan’s book, Make Up: Your Life Guide to Beauty, Style, and Success–Online and Off, is a must-read for everyone.

Coffee for Hair Growth?
Don’t we all wish our hair would magically grow overnight? I know personally I have always enjoyed having short hair because for me it is easier to care for. But then there will come times when I will miss my long hair and so I decide to grow it out again. But it takes SO LONG! Especially since my hair started from a pixie cut. And everyone knows how awkward those are to grow out if you’re not careful you’ve got a one-way ticket to a mullet. Ewww. Obviously, I have spent a great deal of time on the internet researching different way to help accelerate hair growth, and I have found one that I absolutely must share with everyone! Before sharing this with everyone I did test it out for one month so that I would be able to give you a detailed review on whether or not it actually works.

What Products are Good for Natural Hair?
Natural hair became a major thing within the past couple of years. I remember when I decided to go natural during my ninth grade summer. I knew one thing when I made that decision...I HATED GETTING PERMS. They smelled, my hair never grew, and I was tired of the constant scalp burns. Screw scalp burns.

It's almost the 2018 New Year, and we are all looking to improve ourselves one habit at a time. Habits become routines and our routines make up our daily lives and character.

Rice Toner
I know I am not alone in my struggles in finding the perfect products for my face. Our faces are one of the first things people we meet notice, and so we can all be rather paranoid about the condition of our faces, and justly so. Even if you are a person who honestly does not care how other people think of them there is never any harm in looking good for yourself or even just caring about taking care of your body.

My Morning Skincare Routine
After brushing my teeth and showering, my morning skincare routine starts off with a face wash. I've been using the Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2-in-1 Wash & Mask for a couple of weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. This 2-in-1 face wash and mask is especially effective at clearing excess oil and removing harmful bacteria which can lead to spots and skin imperfections. In the morning, I apply a small amount to my wet face before working it into a lather and massaging it into my skin, using circular motions, for about 20 seconds. Then, I rinse my face with warm water. This product is great for those on a budget, have oily skin and/or are prone to spots and blemishes, as the product can be used also as a mask. In the past, I have used the product as a mask—after leaving it on the face for a quick five minutes, the skin is noticeably clearer and smoother to the touch. The mask promises to unclog pores and purify deep down.
