The Beginning of My Hair Growth Journey

I'm at the beginning of my hair growth journey (the beginning of actively trying to make it grow, anyway).

My Current (Clean) Skincare Routine

Okay so it’s been a while since I last updated my skincare routine, but instead of deleting the old post, I renamed it the clean and budget friendly routine.

My Clean & Budget-Friendly Skincare Routine

It’s taken me a while, but I’ve finally managed to find a clean skincare routine that really works for me. Not only does it leave my skin feeling hydrated (I tend to be on the dry/flaky side), it’s also made up of products that are formulated with clean ingredients.  Finding clean products and developing an [...]

My Full Hair Care Run Down

To be honest, I never really had a set routine for my hair up until a few years ago. I remember one summer, back when I took no care of my hair at all, a friend of mine asked me if she could borrow my heat protectant spray and I looked at her as if [...]
