My skincare routine is all about hydration + brightening, so I used:

It’s a simple routine that keeps my skin hydrated and glowing. 📍Tulum

⚠️REMINDER to clean your hair tools⚠️
Cleaning & disinfecting tools keeps bacteria away from your clean hair & scalp.

How to clean your Hair Tools:
1️⃣Clean your sink & then fill with warm water & clarifying shampoo (no harsh household cleaners)
2️⃣Remove hair from tools & soak for 5min
3️⃣Rinse tools & scrub off any remaining product buildup
4️⃣Disinfect tools:
Add 1part rubbing alcohol + 1part water to a spray bottle. Saturate tools & let sit for 10min
5️⃣Rinse tools and dry with a clean towel

Tip: Store your brushes & tools in a clean space for further protection from unwanted particles. Lay brushes flat & upright to protect the bristles. Linked a few of my go-to tools here👇🏽

Diffuse or Air Dry⁉️

When I started my natural hair journey, I was nervous to use any of my hot tools for fear of damaging my hair again. So I always chose to air dry my wash & go styles. But I’ve learned over the years that applying heat to your hair is fine, as long as you take care of it! I love using my Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer & diffuser attachment and my results are💯! #trusttheprocess

**Need a more affordable version? Try the TYMO!

Here are 3 diffusing TIPS:
1️⃣Set your diffuser to low heat & low speed to minimize damage (apply a heat protectant to your hair before you start!)
2️⃣Hover diffuser over your hair and rotate all around while focusing on drying the roots first (a gel cast will form in this step which will lock your style)
3️⃣Cup your ends with your diffuser to encourage your curls to form (flipping your hair forward or side-side while drying adds volume)

I usually complete these steps until my hair is 90-95% dry. Once fully dry, I’ll scrunch with some oil on my hands to break the gel cast a bit and then pick my roots for added volume. And Voilà💁🏽‍♀️✨

•Excursion / tours included with your stay (depends on # of days) - my 5day stay included 1 tour. All arrangements made for you🧗🏽‍♀️🏞️🗿🤿
•Ocean View Suite was private, homey & very comfortable : lock & key🔑 access, spacious, AC, WI-FI, comfortable bed, filtered water tank, & TWO gorgeous balconies🏝️
•Nightly themed dinner / events🎉
•Private beach with plenty of lounge chairs, outdoor games (volleyball net, cornhole boards, giant jenga), and free access to kayaks/water boards🌊

Downfalls (not many!):
•Beach : prefer clear water & less seaweed

•Hotel more a laid back vibe (def not a bad thing but if you are looking to party, this area of Belize is not the best choice)

Thanks for my memorable stay Belizean Dreams Resort!!! ✈️🌴

⚠️SWIPE to see my journey⚠️

THANK YOU Fly Maya Belize for a safe domestic flight to my destination in Belize. I’ve never been on such a small plane before - these fit about 10-12 passengers total. Since I was flying solo, I was assigned the back seat on arrival and then front seat, as co-pilot on departure! Wow, this flight experience is one for the books & one I will remember for a lifetime!!!✈️🇧🇿 #solotraveladventures
.
Shout out to Belizean Dreams Resort for arranging my in-land flight transfer and ground transportation to and from the hotel. This allowed me to travel with ease✨

Definately a solo trip to remember!

Perfect curls. minimal effort.💜

Some days I'm not into layering multiple products -I just want lightweight definition and soft volume. The Herbal Essences Curl Boosting Mousse gave me that airy, fluffy feel with light weighing my curls down. I'm excited to see how the volume builds as the days go on!
