We all can agree that it felt as if spring was never going to make its appearance this year (and some of us may still be feeling this). Despite the wait, thankfully our skin is experiencing the difference in temperature. It’s like a reawakening saying goodbye to dry, itchy skin we battle with in winter ...
Ladies, it’s time to stop shying away from one of the most important and sensitive subjects—caring for our intimate areas.

We’re talking about all year round with products that are specially formulated for the intimate area to create an everyday care ...
You’ve probably seen this skin care tool featured in beauty flatlays alongside oils, moisturizers and exfoliators. It has quickly made its place in daily skin care regimens of beauty bloggers, including my own. Now you’re probably thinking sure it’s pretty and all, but what does it actually do...and how do you use it? We’re here ...
Flowers, chocolates and love letters take up space in every store window during February. It’s a time focused on gifting others which we are all for, but there isn’t anything wrong with gifting yourself too.

Who said that it’s only lovers season? There’s no shame in the game if Valentine’s Day isn’t for you—significant other or not. Tis the season for all types of loves, from your momma and your siblings to your coworkers and tribe. We’re breaking the mold of movie + dinner dates or Netflix and chill for ...

Made by one of my favorite brands and a part of their own latest collection, Stila Cosmetics has launched their Spring 2018 Bohemian Beauty Collection filled with glitter, glow, and everything nice. ...
‘Tis the season for winter skin worries. From dry patches to flakiness, this cold weather is reminding us that moisture is much needed. That dehydrated skin feeling is back again and this was one detail of the holidays that I sure didn’t miss. If it feels like your body is just rejecting every bit of moisturizer you apply, girl, don’t worry. I’m in the same sleigh with ya and know some of the best winter skincare products for dryness. Masks, cremes, and exfoliators—these are a few of my favorite things.
At one point in your life, you’ve probably said, “Growing up, I didn’t see girls like me in the pages of a magazine.” Like many women of color, I too came upon this realization as both a child and now as an adult. My eyes have seen numberless women with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a fair skin tone gracing magazine covers plenty of times, but the whole time I was thinking, “Where am I? What about us?” With the growth of social media, the discovery of YouTube, and the evolution of blogging, I was blessed to find women like me who I could relate to and resonate with—women of color.
Dear Target: we love you. It’s as simple (and complicated) as that. We visit you on the weekends, our lunch breaks, the extra time we find gifted to us within our schedules with expectations that never disappoint. Each visit has us finding items we could never guess of next, or plan on buying. Target’s latest surprise has come in the form of a fashion collection that has us jumping with joy. A New Day is one of the four new brands that this innovative store has created, and it is focused on providing boutique-esque pieces at affordable prices for women everywhere.
Each season brings forth a few favorite beauty details that we find the most joy in during that time. With winter, we are met with red lips and dark rich tones; the blooming of spring brings us colored liner and pastel hues; and with summer comes dewy, glowy skin and bright nail polishes. Come fall, we are reaching for dark lip products and warm, metallic eyeshadows. Now, the transition between these seasons can be quite surprising no matter how many times we experience it. Often times we find the change in weather has happened overnight, suddenly and without warning.
“Matchy-matchy” is not a negative phrase in the eyes of beauty lovers any longer. Instead, we are welcoming coordinating eye shadows, highlights, blushes, and lippies in makeup looks with open arms. Now, before you say coordinating makeup is so 1950s, stop yourself. Monochromatic makeup has gotten much more tender loving care since then and has turned into something with a fresh, fashionable, and daring aesthetic. Tested and approved by celebrities we love—including Taraji P. Henson at the SAG Awards with her pink and berry tones and Rihanna during NYFW with caramel mocha hues—this method isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Fun in the sun has a whole new meaning this summer with our latest fashion find. Colorful, authentic, and reminiscent of paradise, Chila Bags give us all of the summer feels that there ever were. After founder Laura Chica made a visit to the La Guajira desert in northern Colombia in 2013, Chila Bags was created. As shared by the founder herself, “While driving towards El Cabo de la Vela, a paradise-like place, we fell in love not only with the place, but also with the beautiful crafts hand-made by the women of the Wayuu tribe. [We] decided more people deserve to see and wear these colorful, cultural accessories.”
Cliché is the voice of today’s socially active, continuously connected, digital advocates who demand we focus on trends and the latest news in popular culture.
