Amazon Favorites
As I cleaned the house this past weekend, I thought I should share my Top Ten Amazon Beauty and Kitchen purchases.
Lessons from Therapy
I've suffered from Depression and Anxiety over the years, and when I fall into a slump, I go back to talk through my troubles. I'm not going to lie; therapy isn't always zen and therapeutic. Working on past trauma and triggers is like throwing alcohol on a wound. It stings, but you will heal in time. After years of therapy, I learned ten lessons.
The Best Apps for Content Creation
Content creation apps have the power to help you take your social media presence to a whole new level. They’ll also save you a ton of time and energy you’d have to spend doing everything manually. With the time saved, you can devote more time to other tasks.
My Skincare Favorites
Do you ever look at old pictures, and you notice your skin glow-up? I saw a picture from three-plus years ago when my skin hit rock bottom. For years I struggled with on again off again hormonal acne. I turned into a product hoarder searching for the solution that would cure my breakouts and reduce hyperpigmentation but to no success.
Photoshoot Props
With this time home and self-quarantine, I've been falling back in love with photography again. I've used my free time to do self-portraits and test out new hacks and ideas. Taking self-portraits can be intimidating, but I found incorporating props into the photo makes it different and amusing. Do you ever struggle with what to do with your hands, or should you look off to the left or right?
Unplugged Wedding
During wedding planning, there were a few things I put my foot down and refused to compromise. One of the non-negotiable was having an unplugged ceremony. You may have read the viral article from a photographer that begged brides to have an unplugged wedding (link). I totally agree with the photographer. I've attended weddings where my view was blocked by an iPad snapping photos.
My Favorite Sunscreens
Growing up, I did not fully understand why I should use sunscreen daily. Over the years, I gained knowledge of the benefits of using SPF and including it in beauty and skincare products. 75% of skin aging is due to environmental factors, and especially to UV rays. The largest organ of the human body is your skin, and it is the one thing most people will notice about you first off. Your skin is vitally essential, taking proper care is imperative to keep your melanin popping.
