Y-NOT Professional Hairdryer … curated on LTK

When I want to do a roller set or dry my hair without using a handheld dryer, this standing hooded hair dryer is what I use.

It's got a front flap that lifts up so I can slip in and out with my rollers on. This hooded dryer is easy to move around because it's on wheels, so I never have to pick it up and carry it.

Bought this computer stand several years ago, and it's still going strong. I like how lightweight it is, that I can adjust the height to work best for me, and my computer doesn't slip and slide. As a bonus, it's travel-friendly because it folds up and comes with a drawstring bag to carry it in. #hoemofffice #work

The deep conditioners currently in my relaxed hair stash. I typically use the Aussie Three Minute Miracle Moist for pre-poos and when I travel. The Briogeo and TGIN are for deep conditioning after I shampoo. The Olaplex is a freebie I need to use. #relaxedhair #deepconditioner #hairproducts

With oily skin, I ensure that the makeup products I use are specifically formulated for oily skin.

This NYX Shine Killer Primer is perfect for us with oily skin. It gives my skin a slight matte finish and helps control oil so it doesn't break through and break up my makeup hours after it's applied. #makeup #oilyskin

Got this Kobalt battery-powered mower from Lowes to maintain my yard.

I like that it has a bag to collect the grass clippings. The last time I cut my grass, I had to dump the bag three times. Mostly because I let my grass get a little high.

This Kolbolt mower runs smoothly and isn't noisy. With the larger battery, I can mow my entire yard on one charge.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKBeauty

Skincare doesn't end after you put your moisturizer on. It's also happening when you put on your makeup.

If your makeup brushes and sponges are dirty, you're going to make your face dirty and possibly break out.

This is how I wash my makeup brushes and sponges every 5 to 7 days.

This TGIN hydrating shampoo is good for a light moisture boost. It leaves my hair feeling clean and also lightly hydrated. It suds really well. I also love the pink color, which makes it fun to use! #relaxedhair #haircare

My current favorite matte makeup primer is the NYX Shine Killer. It gives me a light matte finish, doesn't feel heavy on my skin, and does a good job of helping to slow down my face getting oily throughout the day. #makeup #oilyskin #nyxmakeup

When Maybelline sent me their new Sensational Firework Mascara, I’ll be honest—I was skeptical. I’m not easily impressed by mascaras.

The first thing I noticed was the brush. It’s a true 360° design with flexible bristles that really coat every lash from root to tip. The brush spreads my lashes out and lifts them up without clumping.

After a few wears, I could tell my lashes looked more defined—and they still felt lightweight.

As a contact lens wearer, I’m happy to say there’s zero irritation.

I’ve been testing the washable, very black formula, and it hasn’t smudged or run, even when my eyes water or I sweat.

Overall, it’s definitely a budget-friendly mascara that delivers better than I expected.

I’ve been using the Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Powder Foundation for years now. It’s a staple in my oily-skin makeup routine because it delivers serious shine control and a smooth, poreless finish. And guess what? It’s on sale during Ulta’s Fall Haul!

Here’s why it’s a must-have:
✔️ It absorbs oil, mattifies skin, and blurs pores
✔️ Gives medium coverage; works alone or layered over or under foundation
✔️ Comes in a bunch of shades (though darker shades are often online only). I wear Java (375)

How I Use It:
1. With a powder brush or sponge, apply over makeup to set everything
2. Sometimes I wear it by itself if I want lighter coverage and oil control
3. Especially focused on the T-zone, then blend out for an even finish

Every time I’m about to blow-dry or flat-iron my hair I reach for the Mielle Mongongo Oil Thermal & Heat Protectant Spray. That’s because using a heat protectant when I use heat on my hair has become a nonnegotiable step in my relaxed hair routine.

Here’s what it does for me: ✔️ Offers intense heat defense so my strands aren’t getting fried every time I style ✔️ Helps eliminate frizz and adds shine ✔️ Speeds up dry time so my hair dries faster but still feels moisturized ✔️ Keeps me frizz-free even in humidity

How I use it:
1. After washing, I start with a water-based leave-in conditioner
2. Then I spray the Mielle heat protectant from roots to ends
3. Proceed with blow-drying or flat-ironing in sections

A few things to note:
* The bottle is only 4 oz, so it can go fast (especially for longer or thicker hair)
* It has a pleasant, slightly perfumed scent but is not overpowering in my experience
* It does include hydrolyzed wheat protein, which is pretty far down the ingredients list. Personally, I manage by balancing my other products with low/no protein

Even with its small size and those small caveats, this spray has totally transformed the way my relaxed hair handles heat styling. It’s soft, smoother, doesn’t frizz, and styling feels safer.

I’ve linked it here in my LTK. Why not try it yourself and see the difference? Let me know how your hair feels afterward.

I’m all about the ORS Olive Oil Creamy Aloe Shampoo. It’s my go-to clarifying shampoo, especially for relaxed hair!

Here’s why I reach for it: ✔️ It gently cleanses without stripping natural oils ✔️ Helps remove buildup (goodbye product residue and dull relaxer layers) ✔️ Leaves hair soft, tangle-free, and shiny ✔️ It’s affordable  ✔️ Bonus: it’s sulfate-free (or at least ORS lists it that way) so it doesn’t feel overly harsh on my strands

I usually use it at most once a month (even though it claims weekly use) because it’s potent when cleaning deeply, and my hair doesn’t need that level of cleansing all the time. It’s become my top recommendation in my lineup of clarifiers.

Want to see how it works on your hair? I’ve got the link waiting for you in my LTK. Give it a try and let me know if your hair feels as revived as mine does.

I recently upgraded my push mower. I previously had a 19” Kobalt battery mower. I upgraded to this 20” one. It’s bigger, easy, to maneuver, and has a bag so I can easily capture and discard of the grass clippings. Bonus because of the bag I have less stray grass clipping to sweep or blow from my sidewalk and driveway afterward.

Looking forward to using it more next yard cutting season.

Keeping my relaxed hair soft, smooth, and moisturized starts with the right leave-in. I’ve been using the TGIN Green Tea Super Moist Leave-In Conditioner for years because it’s lightweight, protein-free, and packed with ingredients like green tea, shea butter, and argan oil that keep my hair healthy without weighing it down.

If you’re looking for a moisturizing leave-in that won’t leave buildup, this is the one I recommend. Tap to shop it directly here on LTK!

When I do a blow out at home I don’t use a lot of products on my hair. It’s because I want to make sure my hair isn’t weighed down with product and can move. But I also want to make sure my hair looks good. My hair dryer of choice is the Shark Flexstyle, I use the TGIN Green Tea Super Moist Leave In Conditioner for moisture, and the Mielle Mongongo Oil Thermal Heat & Protectant Spray for protection.

If you’re not a fan of makeup sponges because of how much liquid foundation they can soak up, give this Real Techniques sponge a try. It’s called the Makeupsaver Blending Sponge and it’s been proven to absorb 90% less water-based makeup. So more foundation ends up on your face so you use less.

It’s on sale during the Ulta Fall Haul through 10/4.
