“Why does your skin look so smooth and soft? Aren’t you stressed out at work?”

Incidentally, I was stressed out at work. (Read: always stressed out at work.)

Review: MURAD Resurgence Renewal Facial at Niobe Spa

You realize how obsessive you can be when you have a sudden break out and can not figure out the cause? That’s when you begin mask overload, scrub overload, product overload, the incessant verbal vomit whenever someone’s view path happens to align with the general area in which your spot resides. “Oh that thing? Yea it appeared over night, ignore it if you can. I’ve tried everything, I just can…

We often have elaborate skincare routines which we focus on our faces, yet the neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Bring those products down to your neck. Think this post doesn't apply to you because ain't no aging? It's never too early to start anti-aging care and prevention is better than cure, anyway! At the very least, you would want a neck that looks as healthy as your face! ~Rekia 💋

This #Pinktober (Breast Cancer Awareness month)! Let's remember that early detection is key when it comes to beating breast cancer. Get routine checks, learn how to perform self examinations and pay attention to and report any changes to your boobies. ~Rekia💋#fightlikeagirl #breastcancerawareness

I was recently gifted the coveted @anastasiabeverlyhills Modern Renaissance palette. If you pay even a little bit of attention to the makeup world happenings, chances are you've heard of this palette! While I've only dipped into a couple of these shades, I've liked the outcome so far, but I definitely want to do a full look before I can make any judgments. What type of look should I create??😌 (And if you've tried this palette, how are ya liking it?) ~Rekia💋

MUA Spotlight Goes To Lagos: Dodos

IAmDodos   While on a little trip to Lagos recently, I decided to incorporate something productive into the trip aside from playing with my boyfriend, and I specifically had two people in mind, in the beauty industry, that I wanted to meet up with this time round. One was Dodos. I met up with Dodos in her shared space with Good Hair (@goodhair on IG) on a busy Friday afternoon. As you can imagine…

I think it’s important, in any industry, to familiarize yourself with who the gatekeepers are, what is going on, understand limitations that exist within, and how you can overcome them and possibly disrupt an industry. What better way than to learn from those who have come before you? So, I decided to incorporate into the blog, features on who I’d like to call the gatekeepers and the stakeholders…

I know that I've previously said that setting sprays are overrated, and I still think they (lowkey) are. However, this @glamglow glowsetter chile! I love it more so for how it makes your skin & highlight glow, than for how it sets makeup. Ash, be gone! It's really misty, so no fat droplets on your face! I do wish it didn't smell so sweet. Something neutral would have done. Disclaimer: I have somewhat dry skin, so that probably attributes to why I don't reaallyy have to set my makeup for it to stay, and why setting sprays don't change much for me. ~Rekia💋
