Self Expression with Discover El Elyon

I’ve wanted to start a podcast…for years now. Literally. But I’ve never put any effort into making it happen. A couple of weeks ago, I finally got off my ass and asked Lesia and Charity of El Elyon to join me on a discussion about self expression. These beautiful spirits are the epitome of walking to the beat of your own drum. Ms Kanawha River A post shared by Charity Dawn (@_charitydawn) on Jul…

Makeup Hack| Clean Your Beauty Bleander with Coconut Oil and Dish Soap

Here’s a super easy and cost effecient way to clean your Beauy Blender in four simple steps! First, let me preface this by saying, I purposely buy the Nude Beauty Blender so that my foundation doesn’t stain it as bad. The BB I am using for this example doesn’t look as dramatic as intended due to the lighting…but trust me it’s disgusting. That’s an even layer or filth. Yikes. Anyway, this is just…

Happy Birthday, Frida Kahlo!

Inspiration is all around. And when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. And there she was was, I didn’t know it yet, but my teacher was waiting for me mixed in a bin with travel sized body wash.I never thought I’d see a goddess staring at me while checking out from a diaper run at CVS. But there she was. Powerful and confident. Beautifully wrapped around polishes and lipsticks waiting…

Swatches: Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit

Confession time: I struggle with highlighter. The girls on youtube and the gram will have you thinking a few swipes here and there…and VOILA! Not quite. Knowing my aversion to the sparkly glow enhancer known as highlighter, I rarely invest unless I know FOR SURE I can’t f*ck it up. Enter The Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit by Nicole Guerriero. She’s beautiful, isn’t she? The palette retails for…

CLAWS Season 1, Episode 1

To be perfectly honest, I didn’t know what the hell to expect from this show.   When I heard Niecey Nash was starring in a show about a nail salon, I just assumed it was a comedy. My first introduction to Mama Nash was in the hilarious Comedy Central classic Reno 911. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her in a serious role, but I love her nonetheless. Enter Desna (Nash), the owner of the Nail Artisan…

Dear ColourPop, I love you. Cost efficient, good quality. What more can you ask for? The makeup brand recently had a promotional sale “buy four pressed shadows get one shadow pan free”. I couldn’t Resist. Who could…and why? Indulging was a no brainer, however narrowing my picks down to four was the hardest decision. Here are the lucky winners: On the fence. Running late. 143. Wake up call.…

20 Affrimations to See Your World More Beautifully

The power of the mind is not a joke. Tell yourself you are beautiful. Tell yourself you are amazing. Believe it. Because you are. “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.” This definitley glass half full or half empty moment. I got through 2016 by believing I could. By encouraging myself  daily, sometimes hourly, that even although things were rough, they wouldn’t be…

  Jhene Aiko is such a gift.     I like to think of Jhene’ as my Pisces sister. We just seem to vibrate together. When I saw the above pictures on instagram, I was elated because I had just previously purchased the exact same Jennifer body suit from cccivboutique: Here’s my interpretation of the look below. Like twins right? *I learned how to make a gif :)*     Here’s a list of Products Used:  …

  I was caught in a vortex. A vortex of negative thoughts that lead to me transforming into the laziest being I had ever been in my life.   Sure, I thought about posting every day. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. Not because I was busy, or I had other productive things to be doing. That wasn’t the case at all. I let self-doubt and negative thinking debilitate me from doing something I once…

I was desperatly seeking a new look like I needed a hit from a dealer.

Last spring Dascha Polanco slayed this look,

I bypassed all the steps of actually coloring mine *or any other hair for that matter* gray, and just bought a wig off amazon.

  The wig came quickly, and I wore it long for a couple of days. However, I realized very quickly the length was just too much. It grazed my butt, was very heavy and was constantly getting tangled.

So I chopped it. With gusto. Unevenly, I might add.

Here’s the result:

Remember when the thought of a gray strand growing out of your head was a nightmare? Well, those days are over.Gorgeous gray locks are here for anyone who’s got the confidence to try.

Here are some amazing gray hair looks from around the inter webs.
