The seasons are changing, and our self-care routines usually change right along with them.

Maybe you’re adding more moisture back into your skin care, switching up your hair routine, getting serious about your vitamins or simply making more time to slow down and reset.

What products, rituals or little luxuries are you adding to your self-care routine this season? Drop them in the comments — we might need to add a few to our list. 👀

Nia Long (Nia Long) has officially taken her place on Hollywood Boulevard.

On September 16, the actress was honored with the 2,857th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, recognizing a career defined by memorable performances, cultural impact and characters that became part of our collective story.

From Boyz n the Hood and Love Jones to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Best Man, Soul Food and beyond, Long has spent more than three decades leaving her mark on film and television — without ever losing the presence that made her unmistakable.

And the story is still being written.

With new projects on the horizon, including a reunion with Larenz Tate in Netflix’s Don’t Ever Wonder, this moment feels less like a finale and more like another chapter.

Now, her name is permanently a part of Hollywood history.

Mostly Sugar celebrates Nia Long and the legacy she continues to build. 🖤

24 years after “Grindin’” changed the sound of hip-hop, Pusha T and Pharrell are still at it — but this time, it’s coffee.

Pusha T () and Pharrell (𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐀 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐎𝐇 ) have teamed up with Lavazza USA for the next chapter of GRINDIN, a coffee brand rooted in the longtime collaborators’ actual creative routine: 5 a.m. mornings, black coffee, studio sessions and getting to work.

The new lineup includes dark and medium roasts, developed by Pusha T and Pharrell and blended by Lavazza’s coffee experts.

The name, of course, goes back to Clipse’s 2002 classic “Grindin’,” produced by The Neptunes. More than two decades later, they’re giving the grind a whole new meaning.

Swipe for what’s brewing.

When the brands you love show up on your HBCU campus, it hits a little different.

_sashea1 caught up with students at the SheaMoisture (SheaMoisture) x Walmart (Walmart) activation to talk hair care lessons and why it matters when major brands show up for HBCU students.

From learning that moisture really is the assignment to seeing a brand as familiar as SheaMoisture pull up to their campus, the students had a few things to say.

And Sashea’s alum response?

“I clocked that.”

Because HBCUs may not always get the same spotlight, but the culture, influence and community have always been here.

SheaMoisture brought Sheaversity to the Yard, and VSU understood the assignment.

x Walmart touched down at Virginia State University (Virginia State University) for a full day centered on hair, confidence, culture and knowing your standard.

The Yard became the classroom with hands-on styling consultations, product discovery and lessons in scalp care, moisture, definition and strength. Then, class moved inside for Office Hours: “Defining Your Standard.”

Brianna Wright (Bri 💋), Clarke Peoples (Clarke Peoples), Deshauna Barber-Echols (Deshauna Barber-Echols), Justin Revenge (Justin Revenge) and VSU’s own Iyanna Mims (Yaya) took the mic for a conversation about influence, confidence, hair care and what it means to set a standard for yourself.

From beauty education to real-life gems, Sheaversity felt right at home at an HBCU.

Class was definitely in session.

We were singing WHAT in the backseat?! 😂

We caught up with a few of our cousins, mizs_jazzy and 𝐿’𝓏 , at Cousinz Fest (Cousinz Festival) for a round of Out of Pocket Classics — the songs we had absolutely no business singing word for word as kids.

From Ludacris’ “Splash Waterfalls” to Mýa’s “My Love Is Like…Woah” and basically anything Mary J. Blige was going through back in the day, we knew every lyric. The meaning? That came MUCH later. 😭

Now we want to hear yours: What’s one song from your childhood that you didn’t realize was out of pocket until you got older?

Drop it in the comments. 👇🏾
