Beauty Answer: It is true that there are makeup removers that contain pollutants that can be quite harmful to your skin. Therefore, a natural method would be wise to keep skin safe and healthy. Olive oil is an Eco-friendly product that can be used to remove cosmetics. Scared that olive oil will fail to remove “tougher” makeup products? Have no fear because olive oil can remove lipstick, eye liner and even mascara which we all know can be a toughie at times.

“One doesn’t want fashion to look ridiculous, silly, or out of step with the times- but you do want designers that make you thinkt, hat make you look at fashion differently. That’s how fashion changes. If it doesn’t change, it’s not looking forward. And that’s important to me.”
-Anna Wintour

One question I’ve been asked numerous times is how I grew my hair down my back and how long did it take. Well, to be completely honest it has been different every single time. I have taken my hair out several times in different ways (more on that in my next post).
Nevertheless, the methods I used all seemed to yield great results so I will briefly share them with you.
I have employed “going natural,” hair straightening, vitamins and even wearing wigs. When I went natural I basically just worked with my hair’s natural curl pattern.
This was tough because I wasn’t quite sure which products to utilize because previously the flat iron or pressing comb had always been a girl’s best friend. Products that proved to be a lifesaver were:
Every time I cleansed my strands I would always follow up with a leave-in conditioner and hair oil. The conditioner gave my locks vital nutrients and moisture while the hair oil would literally lock it all in, basically sealing in all of the good stuff.
One of my favorite conditioners that I have used for years is by Mane and Tail. Many shy away from their products because Mane and Tail is actually used on animals such as horses to keep their mane looking pristine. Now I’ve seen some horses with hair I’d love to detach and place upon my head, so what’s good for the goose is good for the gander!
Moreover, my natural hair tends to be quite unruly, so to keep it in line I would apply a hair gel or pomade. Braids also helped to achieve wavy hairstyles as well as foil rollers.
In another post, I promise to show not only how to make the roller, but an easy hairstyle to achieve with it as well.
Another method I used was simply straightening my hair every two weeks.
I would also apply a hair mask after cleansing my hair and leave it on for at least 30 minutes. Daily maintenance would include wrapping my hair up with a satin scarf at night not only to reduce friction created while at rest but also to help give my hair a slight bend so that using a curler would be unnecessary.
Also, every day in the morning after combing my hair I would apply a very light hair oil to keep my locks strong. One thing I will stress is that keeping heat to a minimum has always helped my hair to grow faster. I know that may not be the case for everyone, but that is definitely something that helps give my growth cycle a boost.
When it comes to vitamins, I have taken Biotin as well as B vitamins and received great results. To this day I like to take Women’s One A Day multi-vitamin which includes all the vitamins you need for healthy hair, skin and nails.
Lastly, as mentioned I have employed wigs to grow out my hair. I prefer wigs where all of my hair is safely resting underneath; however, half wigs look way more natural so for appearance sake I opt for half wigs or wigs with a movable part.
Out of all methods used my hair grew the fastest using the wig method, it literally only took about 5 months for my hair to go from above my shoulders to down my back. In a future post I will focus specifically on the wig method and tell how I did it.

Alright so now hopefully your body is on point. But now we are starting to realize we might have some other things to take care of like dark underarms. Well don’t fret go get some baking soda I said baking soda (haha I just love that song) yeah that stuff that you cook with. Well backing soda is also known for its cleaning properties. Just take two teaspoon of baking soda and make a paste with warm water. Apply this paste on your armpits and let it dry out. Wash it off with fresh water after 30 minutes. After some time your underarms will now match your whole body.
Blush is a great way to enhance the features of our face. It not only enhances our cheeks but it can brighten up your face. Choose your blush color based on your skin tone. Lighter complexions look best in peaches or corals, medium complexions look good in medium pinks and purples. For deeper complexions look for deep pinks or maroons!
Also for all skin tones try an orange blush it truly looks great on our skin color and brings out either the golden richness of our skin our makes your deep ebony skin look so youthful.
