Minimalist Skincare Saved My Skin
Throughout my teenage years, I struggled consistently with cystic acne. My whole face was covered in deep, painful cysts that wouldn't go away.

6 Hair Products That Keep Your Hair Healthy
I really enjoy hair things. Trimming it, dyeing it multiple colors, doing new hairstyles with it. But really the hard part is the upkeep. To a small degree of success, albeit I struggled to keep the grey in as part of my ashblonde-gray phase. It's really difficult, which makes me sad, cause after this experience I would really just dye my whole head grey because it is so beautiful of a color. But it washes out so easily it's almost impossible to keep it for very long.

Alternatives and First Impressions for ABH Norvina
Disclaimer: If you’re a die hard fan of ABH or Norvina, please feel free to leave. If I had to choose one brand per product or even everything, it would be ABH.

It is my opinion and I solely speak as a customer who is simply looking at the palette from a conscious buyer’s perspective.

Curly Hair and Don't Care
Accepting my hair for how it is was a long journey that I'm still traveling. I grew up in a family that believed in perms and hair straightening. Now don't get me wrong. My parents always taught me to love myself, but I would always find myself loving myself better with straight and permed hair. Society has always taught African American women not to love certain parts about themselves and kinky and coarse hair was something unprofessional, unattractive, and even unsanitary.
