Navigating The World of ‘Clean’ and ‘Acne-Safe’ Makeup

I’m so excited to share with you my latest ‘clean’ makeup haul! One of the hardest pills to swallow along my journey to healing from hormonal acne was that I had to stop using my ENTIRE makeup collection. Prior to meeting with a FNTP (Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner), I was completely in the dark when it came to being aware of my toxic-load. Not only were my makeup and skincare products full of endocrine disrupting ingredients, but pore-clogging ingredients as well! It was very overwhelming as a beauty lover to learn that I had to start from scratch and learn […]

My Life Has Changed Forever

It’s about time for an update as I haven’t published a blog post since October of last year. My life has changed drastically and I am still right in the thick of it. What started off as a series of unfortunate events led me straight into the most life altering of all…my Grandmother passed away. For anyone, a grandparent passing away is a tough thing to go through. However my Grandma Jessie wasn’t only my grandmother; she was like a second mother to my sisters and I.

Jaclyn Hill x Morphe Vault Collection

Today’s post is dedicated to the very controversial, very beautiful Jaclyn Hill x Morphe Vault Collection. My journey with these palettes has been anything but simple. But I’m not gonna bore you will all the details and just get to it. The collection I purchased on launch day was crap. It did not blend well, was patchy, and inconsistent. Thank God, I was able to exchange it for a new set and lucked out on getting a better made collection! When I first laid eyes on the four palettes that make up The Vault Collection, I knew I would be […]
