MJ MUSICAL on Broadway 🔥🔥🔥 SWIPE for a lil’ sneak peek! This show was phenomenal! So many hits, incredible performances, and they did a great job telling Michael Jackson’s nuanced life story while still letting his artistry shine! No wonder the show won 4 Tony Awards. Well deserved! 👏👏👏 I didn’t even know I was going to the show (thank you to my man for the surprise)… but somehow still managed to show up completely on theme! ❤️ That’s called discernment! 😏 Outfit details: ➕ Thrifted blazer which I somehow also wore to see HELL’S KITCHEN on Broadway ➕ Harness belt by Haute Cuir ➕Earring from THE MET Museum 💄 Black-Owned makeup look shared in a previous video and products are tagged below! What’s your favorite Michael Jackson song? LTKootd LTKBeauty LTKdayinmylife

Nighttime lately 💜

OSEA just dropped their new Dream Lip Mask, so I had to try the full Dreams nighttime lineup together and it’s giving hydration + renewal, actives without irritation.

Basically: wake up looking rested & refreshed 😌

✨ NEW Dream Lip Mask: the star of the show today. Thick but comfortable, smooths overnight, and somehow still there when you wake up. 💋

✨ Dream Night Serum: lightweight, smoothing, bio-retinol + hyaluronic acid + peptides without irritation.

✨ Dream Night Cream: seals everything in so skin feels soft and balanced by morning. Vegan collagen lavender + hydration. Chef’s kiss!

✨ Dream Body Serum: bio-retinol + algae + niacinamide because your body needs care too! 💜

OSEA is known for their seaweed-powered, vegan formulas, so this routine feels more nourishing than stripping which my skin loves.

Matcha Monday 🍵 A cozy spot that’s perfect when you need a quick reset in the middle of the city. Easy to pop into for a meeting, a short work session, or just to recharge, both yourself and your devices (yes, outlets 👏🏾). Good nutty matcha, calm vibes, and convenient if you’re already in the area. They also sell coffee beans, cute merch, even greeting cards, if you want to grab a little something.

There’s just something about a deep plum lip that makes you feel instantly put together but with a little edge. I love this Westman Atelier lipstick in the Lou Lou shade. It’s deep, dark but flattering, feels comfortable on the lips and lasts all day. Paired with a plum blush, Saie in shade Grazie makes for the perfect combo. 💋

ICYMI | Ending Black History Month with this ICONIC exhibit 🖤

SUPERFINE: Tailoring Black Style in 60 Seconds

We can’t glaze over this historic moment in fashion especially during Black History Month!

A few months ago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art closed this phenomenal exhibit. It debuted at the Met Gala and I’m still not over it.

Three hundred years of Black style. Through the lens of dandyism. The tailoring? Impeccable. The details? Intentional. The message? Dignity, power, self-definition… on full display.

It was so good I went twice. And yes, I absolutely dressed the part in a 3-piece denim suit and lace blouse.

If you didn’t get to see it before it closed, I squeezed in as many highlights as I could in under a minute… but trust me, there was so much more.

Bravo to the brilliant team who made this vision a reality. A masterclass in Black style. 🖤

Did you see this exhibit?

📍 The MET, NYC

I KNOW. I KNOW… You’re not supposed to try new skincare on vacation. But let’s be real… vacation is such a fun time to play with new products! Am I lying?

Here’s how I make it work:
I bring a mix of holy grail products & fun goodies to try out!

What I don’t play about:
✖️ retinoids
✖️ harsh exfoliants
✖️ stuff I’ve never used in the sun
✖️ anything that could freak my skin out

What I do test:
✔️ hydrating products
✔️ makeup
✔️ lippies
✔️ gentle, easy formulas
✔️ SPF (obvi)

That way we can still have fun with newness but… responsibly!

What about you? Do you stick to your beauty routine or experiment on vacation?

📍Beauty world

PS: I only travel with a carryon and yes, everything fits! 😏
