☀️ Scent Combo: Picnic in the Park 🌸🍏
This combo is fruity, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet — the perfect daytime fragrance layering routine for when you want to smell fresh, soft, and a little bit edible 😌

I start with the Youth To The People Superberry Body Butter, which gives that juicy berry base and a healthy glow. Then I lock in the moisture with Brown Sugar Babe Cloud 9 Oil — it’s light, sweet, and adds this smooth softness to the skin.

For perfume, I layer Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33 (think creamy pistachio ice cream) with Kayali Eden Juicy Apple | 01 (a crisp, fruity pop) for that fresh, flirty finish that makes people ask what you’re wearing.

🍓 Fruity
🍦 Creamy
☁️ Soft
Perfect for brunch, errands, or a sunny day out.

When I’m in my luteal phase (aka the week before my period), I need hair styles that don’t require daily effort—just sleep, hydrate, and go. These twists hold me down every time.✨

I used Fenty Hair’s Water Boi Leave-In Conditioner for hydration and easy detangling, then sealed it all in with Honey Dip from The Doux for soft, shiny hold without the crunch. This combo keeps my hair moisturized and looking fresh for 2+ weeks—and the twist-out at the end is always 🔥.

Defined curls + major volume? Say less. 😮‍💨✨
I used the AG Care Mousse Gel Extra-Firm Curl Retention to lock in definition and hold , and paired it with the Bounce Curl Volume Brush to fluff, separate, and shape my curls for max volume. Both are perfect for type 4 natural hair, especially if you’re looking for products that define tight coils while giving that soft, bouncy finish.

This wash & go combo gave me everything I needed — soft, juicy curls with long-lasting hold.
I used the Cecred Moisture Sealing Lotion (super hydrating and lightweight) paired with Wetline Xtreme Gel (a classic for a reason — strong hold, no flakes, and under $5!).

Luxury meets budget, and my curls are thanking me.

Perfect for type 4 hair, especially if you’re looking for moisture + definition without the crunch.

I use a lot of powder but I never wanna look like it. A few spritzes of the @onesize Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray and babyyy, it’s giving skin again. That soft glow? That hydration? As a dry skin girl, this is everything I needed in a setting spray ✨.

For those who want to know the difference between this and On Til Dawn, this formula melts powder seamlessly into your skin while leaving behind a radiant, glass-like finish. So if you prefer not to have super matte skin this is for you! 🩷

Would you try this?
