Sauna 💧🔥

You need to drink at least 30 to 32 oz. of water before you enter the sauna room. This way, you won’t get dehydrated once inside.

It’s pretty boring lol but it makes you sweat a lot 😊😘    

   

  

Silicone Free Haircare

I’ve noticed that when I use products that have silicones my curls go away. I’ve been trying to use products that don’t have silicones (it seems like every hair product has them). What works for one person may not work for you, but these  ingredients cause the same amount of damage to all hair types. A product with a lot of silicones that will coat your hair & you will need a clarifying shampoo to remove the build-up.

I recently purchased the Pro Performance sponge at MAC & what a huge disappointment. It’s so stiff (nothing like the beauty blender) nothing flexible about this sponge.  I can’t use it for foundation but I can use the pointy side for blending my concealer so it’s not a total loss.

The eyebrow set is great for setting eyebrows, & lasts all day.

I highly recommend this to groom brows.

The BB cream is not that great, I wish I would have bought the CC cream instead. Prep & Prime BB cream gives a matte, dull, non-glowy look. I tried returning it but because I didn’t save my receipt they couldn’t exchange it. If you have dry skin this isn’t for you.

This man is great & his lyrics are 💯 He writes almost all his songs & also produces his own beats. It was great to watch him perform live last night at the Staples center. Such a powerful performance , a night I will never forget.   💫
