👑 Level up your pasta game

What’s up, Hustlers! 

I hope y'all had a great Memorial Day with friends and family.

Amid the BBQs and family events, I took a moment to reflect on the power of being of service. It takes you out of yourself and into a place of giving.

Grab groceries for an elderly neighbor, donate to a support organization, or thank a healthcare professional. A small act of kindness goes a long way.

Let’s show up for others because real queens fix each other’s crowns.

• 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast

My favorite skincare and beauty products 💦 Self-care should be a consistent practice in your daily life, not just a solution for when you break.

For me, a consistent beauty and skincare routine is part of my self-care practice. I sat down with Women's Health to share some of my favorite products that support my hustle and fuel my self-care ⬇️ 

Skin-Care Essentials

• Lymphatic Drainage: I use the Jillian Dempsey Gold Bar for facial lymphatic drainage and the Gente Lymphatic Drainage Effect Detoxing Lotion to reduce bloating and inflammation.

• Favorite Products: ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint with SPF 40 and WYN Skin Enhancing Tint.

Sweat-Proof Beauty Products

• Laura Mercier Setting Powder

• Urban Decay All-Nighter Spray

• Stila Waterproof Eyeliner

• Jones Road Miracle Balms

Healthy Hair Essentials

• Sunday II Sunday: Great for braids and looks that I keep in for multiple days.

Freshening Up After a Class

• Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask
