February Empties! Look, it didn't take me 3 months to post this time 😅 I'm slowly getting better at self-care.

My personal medical health hasn't been good lately.
I think my body finally had enough and I ended up in the hospital a month ago.

Let this be your sign to take better care of yourself physically and mentally.

On the beauty side, I really love this hair mask and will definitely repurchase once I use my other ones up. It gave my waves definition for daaaays.

Not something I've ever posted before as this is the start of my journey. Not makeup, but beauty all the same. I've decided to try embracing my grays that are coming in instead of covering them. We are told we need to look young as long as possible to the point we forget that gray hair is normal in our 30s. I'm choosing self love by embracing what I have.

I have long hair so this journey will take a lot of time but this is 6 months dye free. They sort of look like highlights 🤷🏼‍♀️

Do you want me to share my progress in my self love gray grow out?

Okay so... here are my empties for October - December 2025. I know this is super late and I don't usually make a combined post but life has had other priorities since my mom passed.

In total for 2025, I used up 92 products. That number is just crazy to me and it would've been bigger if life hadn't turned upside down.

In 2026, I want to continue being conscious of how much beauty products I buy and stick to only buying new products once I totally run out of that category. I'm really proud of myself for majorly cutting back on impulse buys and my hope for this year is to not have any!

Yesterday was my birthday and I made a point to dress cute and do my hair and makeup for the first time since my mom passed away in November. I wanted to try to feel like myself even just for a few hours.

Losing a parent is next level grief. For those that know the feeling of trying to trudge through each day with a broken heart and an elephant on your back, I'm right here with you. No words could ever make the pain easier. I'm not going to pretend to be fine when I'm not. Its okay to not be okay.

Here's to 35 and trying to survive 🥂

Honestly Obscura works even better for me than hypochlorus acid. Real talk, I have been a mess since my mom died in November and this baby is the only thing that has prevented my face from a freak out. Thank you, Earth harbor,for saving my skin and part of my sanity.

Consider this your PSA and reminder to cut open those products when you think they're empty!

I wasn't able to get any more out of this cleanser so I cut it open a week or so ago. I kept forgetting to take a picture so lets play pretend that the amount of product is the whole way to the top 😅

This will probably last me another month! Get your hard-earned money's worth and use up every drop.

📤 Out & In 📥

I used up the last of my Bond Protein Repair hair oil mist and immediately replaced it with a new one. I'm in love with this hair oil 💖

As I'm learning more about the types of products that work best for my hair type and taking some advice from , I decided to give this a try. I didn't even know oil mists existed until watching Abbey.

I have very fine wavy hair that is highlighted (read: frizzy af) so I needed something hydrating but very light weight to control the frizz and help repair damage. This is exactly what my hair needed. Its like a glass of lemonade on a hot day for my hair 🍹

Before, I used heavy oils that weighed my hair down and made it look greasy and I didn't get the full benefits of using a hair oil. Now, I use this sparingly on a daily basis and my hair has never looked better. Not even exaggerating. It tamed the p**f so I look like a normal human being 😅
