Do you ever notice that you have random jars of unused beauty products around your bathroom?

If a jar is sitting in my bathroom for months and I’ve only used it once or twice, chances are I didn’t love it but I feel bad about being wasteful so it just sits on my shelves.

I recently realized that a great way for me to figure out which products I truly love is to look at the containers that are empty!

This month I’m sharing five products that I’ve used all the way to the end. I also made a video review on my instagram – you can watch that video here!

When I first got my sisterlocks, I remember being so worried about taking care of them. I was nervous that my sisterlocks would unravel, snap off, not lock or even worse… not grow as long as I wanted them to. Five years later, I know that my hair isn’t as delicate and fragile as it was that first year when I was locing. 

Now that I’ve relaxed about my hair a bit I’m much more open to trying new products in my hair. Over the past few months I’ve been slowly testing new things to see what I like.

These are the products I use on my sisterlocks:

Let’s talk about skincare! I’ve been working really hard to feel good on the inside, now I’m looking at ways to feel good on the outside too. Whether it be taking part in the latest ‘skincare challenge,’ developing my own skincare routine, or simply drinking tons of water to keep my skin hydrated, I am constantly looking for new ways to take my skin to the next level. So I decided to give Microneedling a try!

I can confidently say that my hair is flourishing right now. I started my sisterlocks in 2014 and one of the ways that I keep my hair healthy and growing is taking good care of my scalp.

I love shopping for luxury beauty items on Ebay because sometimes you can find items that are unexpected or even unavailable in regular department stores. Most of the items I want are available with the “Buy it Now” feature so I don’t have to bid on anything.

I filled my cart with “Buy it Now” items and created a custom beauty bag for my mom with some of my favorite things.

I decided to look at a solution that would help me to organize my makeup collection, have a place to primp (and film beauty videos) and a desk that I could use during the day to get work done.

My solution was a vanity/desk.

I’m at that interesting age where acne is still a thing, but I know wrinkles and aging are around the corner.

When it comes to my skincare, I have to address both.
