#AD With the holidays around the corner, it’s time for winter nails that sleigh 🎄❄️. Here’s how I did these cute winter nails using the 25 colors fall & winter gel polish set that my friends at Beetles gifted me.

This set comes with a lot of great pinks, purples, blues, and neutrals, so it’s great for year-round. It also comes with base gel, glossy, and matte topcoat.

I added chrome powder from a set that I got for $2 on SHEIN, and I love the icy effect it gave my nails 💅🏾❄️.

This gel polish set is a great gift idea for anyone who likes to do their nails at home 🎁.

The SKIMS X Dolce Gabbana collection just dropped, and it’s so good. The leopard bodysuit and the leopard dress are two of my favorite pieces from this collection.

This would be a great gift idea for the fashionist in your life 🤎✨

What’s on your wish list from this new SKIMS drop ?

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKGiftGuide

I love these leopard print patent heels that I got from SHEIN for under $50 🐆✨ (also available on Amazon), the style reminds me of the So Kate’s by Christian Louboutin.

I got them in a size 10, and for the most part they are true to size (I have narrow feet for context. They are slightly snug on one toe on my right foot lol).

The heels come into different heights, I am wearing the 4.72 inch version 🤎

I styled them with wide leg jeans from H&M (size 6, size up), and this long sleeve cropped corset top from pretty little thing (I recommend sizing up, I went back and bought it in the next size up).

#LTKSeasonal #LTKShoeCrush #LTKFindsUnder50

I love a good casual but dressy fall outfit 🤎 this shaggy fur cardigan from SHEIN (I sized up to a large, so it fits more like a cardigan and less like a crop top) will look cute with so many fall outfits, I can’t wait to wear this look for a night out!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50

Decorate my pink Christmas tree with me! 🎄🎀✨ I’m reusing my mini pink Christmas tree that I got last year from Hobby Lobby, and going with a candy cane theme to match the rest of my Christmas decorations ❤️.

I wrapped my tree with mini twinkle warm white fairy lights that I got from Target ($5!), and tied a huge bow on top of my tree, using the candy cane ribbon and the red plaid glitter ribbon from my other holiday decorations 🎅🏾🦌✨.

I found this red faux fur mini Christmas tree skirt at Walmart for $5.98 (which actually covers a large amount of space), and added two packs of mini candy cane bows ($2.98 each!).

I like that these bows have wire in them, so it allowed me to mold them which elevates the look of the bows 🎀.

I think my mini Christmas tree looks so cute on top of my vanity 😍🎄

#LTKWatchNow #LTKHome #LTKHoliday

This little black dress that Pretty Little Thing gifted me will be a great holiday dress 🎄✨ the mini length makes it feel fun and flirty.

The bell sleeves elevate the look of the dress, so you could easily style it for a Christmas dinner.

I am wearing it in a size 4, and I recommend sizing up if you are in between sizes.

I’m wearing it with leopard print heels, that give me So Kate vibes ❤️✨.

#LTKParties #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

#AD this taupe fur trimmed dress Pretty Little Thing gifted me would be such a cute holiday dress! 😍🎄✨

I’m wearing it in a size 4, and because it’s ruched it has some give to it. If you are in between sizes, I recommend sizing up.

I styled this dress with rhinestone mules, and my cream YSL monogram clutch.

How cute is this pink houndstooth pajama set and robe from Walmart? 😍💖✨ it reminds me of one of the SKIMS cozy collections about a year ago. This would be a cute holiday pajama set or holiday gift! 🎄✨

While the material is not the same as SKIMS, the vibe definitely is. This set from Walmart feels really soft and warm.

The robe was on sale for about $21, and the top and the pants were both just under $10.

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday

I loveeeee this pink reindeer rug that I got on Temu 😍🦌💖✨ it looks so good with my Christmas decorations, and it comes in a few different sizes 🎄.

I got it in the 20 X 17 size. Just a note though, I would not put it in a high traffic area due to the fabric.

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

It’s time for cute Christmas nails! 🎄✨ here’s how I made this white and gold Christmas press on nail set 💅🏾.

I used long square French tip nails, and nude nails by BTArtBox which I got on Amazon 🙌🏾.

I painted the nude nails with a peachy nude gel polish by Beetles, so they would be a closer match to the base color of the French tip nails.

Next, I applied some of these white and gold fair isle motif nail stickers that I got on SHEIN (they are available on Amazon too, but they are cheaper on SHEIN) 🦌✨.

I also painted mini Christmas trees on my nails, using gold glitter gel polish, and I applied rhinestones & pearls on top using rhinestone glue.

I used gold star nail stickers for the tree star ⭐️ , and added nail stickers that say “Merry Christmas” 🎄🎅🏾.

On the French tip nails, I applied gold bow nail charms from SHEIN 🎀✨.

To finish off the nails, I did a coat of builder gel, and a coat of topcoat. I applied to them using my favorite nail glue from Sally’s.

What should I do for my next holiday nail set? 👀🎅🏾✨

It’s tiiiiiime 🎄💖✨ I love to decorate my full length mirror for Christmas, and this year I got almost everything at Walmart (under $10 each!).

The tinsel garland is a great way to jazz up your Christmas decor 🎄, I can’t believe it was only $10. I wrapped it around my mirror using clear medium command hooks.

I finished off the garland with a pack of mini candy cane print bows ❤️🤍, red glitter ribbon, and candy cane print ribbon.

Also, how cute is my pink baby reindeer rug?! 🙌🏾😍💖 I got it on Temu for like $20. I love how my holiday decor came out this year!

#LTKHome #LTKHoliday #LTKVideo

Wearing vs. Styling jeans and a tank top 👖✨ I recently got these wide leg jeans from H&M (size 6, I sized up) and they look so cute with my fall outfits!

I got this cropped button up cardigan from SHEIN (Size L, I recommend sizing up for a looser fit), the shaggy fur give it a fun vintage look 🤎.

I finished the look with gold aviator sunglasses, my brown medium jelly Telfar bag, and rhinestone mule heels.

#LTKVideo #LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50

H&M brought back their viral sequin bow jacket for the holiday season 🙌🏾😍 It’s such a classic & festive piece that can be easily styled for holiday party outfits 🎄✨.

The jacket fits true to size, I am wearing it in a size small. I styled it with black leather shorts, black tights, and my black YSL bag.

I also put a black bow claw clip in my hair, to accent the black bows on the jacket 🎀.

I could also easily style this with a black skirt or pants, and a black shapewear bodysuit underneath for an equally festive and classy Christmas outfit.

I have seen other versions of this jacket start to drop in other colors, so I linked a few of those as well 🎄🎅🏾✨

#LTKHoliday #LTKParties #LTKVideo

I wanted some flexi rods to give my silk press some body, so I picked up these jumbo ones by Kitsch at Ulta. They are also available on Amazon. These flexi rods are great for heatless curls 🙌🏾😍

I love that they’re satin flexi rods, so they’re gentle on my hair (and my ends).

This set comes with 4 jumbo flexi rods, and they also make a set of 6 smaller flexi rods.

These make a great christmas gift or stocking stuffer this holiday season!

I love full glam makeup, and I have oily skin. These are my All-Star 💫favorite makeup products that I use and they are all a part of the Sephora sale! 💄🛍️✨

PRIMERS:
⭐️ I use the One Size Extreme Mattifying Alkaline Primer to control my oily areas.
⭐️ I love to use the Milk Makeup Hydrogrip Primer for the rest of my face. It’s very hydrating, and I feel like it locks my makeup in.

FOUNDATIONS:
⭐️ The NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation is my all-time favorite. It’s full coverage, long-lasting, and looks flawless. I wear it in the shade "Marquises."
⭐️ The Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm cream-to-powder product, that is very long lasting. This one is more medium coverage, and I wear it in the shade "8.5."
⭐️ The Estee Lauder Doublewear Foundation is another great coverage foundation. I typically reach for this one in the summertime, because it’s a great shade match for when I tan. I wear it in the shade "5N2 Amber Honey."

CONCEALER:
⭐️ The Too Faced Born This Way Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer is hands-down, the best full-coverage concealer I’ve ever used. I use the shades "butterscotch" and "cookie."

SETTING POWDERS:
⭐️ I love to use the Huda Beauty Easy Bake Setting Powders to set my under eye area. I have it in "Sugar Cookie" & "Blondie" (recommended shade).
⭐️ The Fenty Beauty Setting Powder is great for setting the rest of my face, or cleaning up my contour line.
⭐️ If I'm not using the Fenty powder, I love the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish setting powder (Shade 4).

BRONZER & HIGHLIGHT
⭐️ The Rare Beauty highlighter in "Flaunt" is my go-to. It's a great black girl-friendly shade.
⭐️ To add dimension, I love using the Fenty Beauty highlighter in "Coco Naughty"

SETTING SPRAYS
⭐️ To get rid of the powdery look, I spray the Charlotte Tilbury setting spray after each powder step. It also helps set my makeup.
⭐️ To LOCK my makeup in place, the One Size setting spray is my all-time favorite.

Makeup for black women 🤎

I went to Walmart to look for some cute pink Christmas decor, and I found a lot of great stuff! 🎄💖 Nothing I purchased was over $10 🛍️

I absolutely LOVE the pink tinsel garland, it has two shades of pink and there’s matching picks and a pink holiday wreath as well.

I got some candy cane inspired ribbon, pink velvet ribbon, and red ribbons to go with my theme.

Stay tuned to see how I use all this to decorate my home for the holidays!

#LTKHome #LTKVideo #LTKHoliday

I was shopping for some more pink Christmas decorations 🎄✨, and I found these Nutcrackers at Target for $5.

They come in a bunch of different colors, and finishes like glitter, metallic, and velvet.

I bought a couple of them in gold ✨, and they are a little over 11 inches tall, so they are great for a table top or something like that.

They also have really tall versions for $25.

If you’re looking for some fabulous and festive affordable holiday home decor, definitely check these out.

I love when I find a cute new workout set to wear to pilates! I got this leopard print workout set from the JoyLab collection at Target, and it's so cute 🐆 🤎

I'm wearing the longline bra top and the high waist leggings in a size small, they're very stretchy and true to size.

Normally I'm a size 4-6, and for reference, I'm 5'9".

I wore this set with some tan grip socks for pilates, a brown hoodie, and my fave gold aviator shades from Amazon.

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKActive #LTKVideo

This outfit Pretty Little Thing gifted me from their latest PLT Label collection has me feeling like an office baddie (but I definitely wouldn’t wear it to work 😂).

This is a super sexy fall outfit, that I’d definitely wear on a date.

The top has shoulder pads, and zips in the back. Also, the skirt slit is high so be prepared chile. I’m wearing both pieces in a size 4, and honestly I should have sized up.

I styled this look with my new leopard fur bag from H&M, black heels, and black shades with orange tint from Amazon.

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKSeasonal

These $10 faux fur lined slippers from Target will look so cute with your holiday pajamas this year 🎄✨.

They fit true to size, and they’re super warm and cozy. I got them in pink and in gold. They also have matching slippers in the kids & toddler section if you wanna grab a pair for your little girl 👧🏾 💕

This pink sweatsuit by CRZ Yoga on Amazon is such a cute casual fall outfit for running errands 💖.

It’s fleece lined, which is great as the temperatures are dropping ❄️.

The sweatsuit fits true to size, I am wearing the cropped hoodie and the pants in a size 4. The pants are also tall girl friendly, I am 5’9” for reference.

This set comes in a bunch of different colors, I got it in tan too! It’s definitely giving the lululemon scuba collection look for less.

Still can’t get over how well this green ribbed knit sweater from H&M goes with so many of my fall outfits 💚

I’m wearing it in a size S, and it looks so cute with my camo mini skirt

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKSeasonal

Leopard print is a huge trend this fall, and it’s EVERYWHERE 🐆🤎✨ Here’s a few ways to style leopard pieces with your fall outfits.

🤎 Outfit One: I got these wide leg leopard jeans from H&M (size 4), and they’re tall girl friendly. I styled them with a black shapewear bodysuit and leopard jacket (size S), which is not an exact match but close enough lol.

🤎 Outfit Two: I swapped out the leopard jeans for a leopard mini skirt (it runs small, so I sized up to a size 6).

🤎 Outfit Three: I’m obsessed with this faux fur leopard print tote bag from H&M. I styled it with a little black dress by naked wardrobe, and black heels.

🤎 Outfit Four: These patent leopard heels that I got from SHEIN give me Louboutin vibes. I styled them with wide leg high waist jeans and a long sleeved cropped corset top.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKVideo #LTKFindsUnder50

I got this shapewear bodysuit from SHEIN for less than $10, and it’s a great way to get the Wolford bodysuit look for less 🙌🏾😍.

I like that the bra portion is padded (but not TOO much), and the entire bodysuit is smooth without cup lines or underwire, so it doesn’t look like I’m wearing an undergarment. This makes it easier to style for more occasions.

I’m wearing it in a size 6, and I have it in both nude and black.

#LTKFindsUnder50

I needed some new jeans, so I went to H&M and got these high waist wide leg jeans 👖💙✨. Online they’re called the “Ava” jeans.

I’m wearing them in a size 6 (normally I’m a size 4), and I recommend sizing up. These jeans are made of 100% cotton so there’s no stretch to them.

These jeans come in a few different colors, but I really like this wash. Also, they’re tall girl friendly. I’m 5’9” for reference.

Regular price these jeans are $29.99, and I caught them during a denim sale.

Should I get another pair on Black Friday? 👀

#LTKVideo #LTKFindsUnder50

#AD If you’re looking for some sexy and elevated fall outfits, you have to check out the new PLT label collection that Pretty Little Thing just dropped 🦄✨.

They gifted me some pieces from the collection, and there are a lot of great pieces for a night out, date outfits, and even holiday outfits too.

I will say this collection seems to run a little small, so for the most part, I recommend sizing up ⬆️ .

I am wearing everything in a size 4, and I feel like I should’ve size up in the corset top and the black dress.

The high slit mini skirt fit well though, and the taupe dress with faux fur trim is a bit more forgiving because it is ruched and stretchy.

Which outfit is your favorite? 💖

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKVideo

#AD How dreamy are these pink press on nails that I made? 😍☁️✨ Here’s how I did them!

Novo Ovo gifted me their new extra thick medium coffin shaped nails, which I used for this set. They are thicker at the tip so the nails feel really sturdy, and they come etched at the cuticle so you don’t have to file them 🙌🏾.

The kit comes with 14 sizes and 336 nails. The nails are currently $14.99 on Amazon, which is a great deal 🛍️✨.

After I prepped the nails, I did a coat of Beetles base gel which I cured for 99 seconds 💡.

Then I did two coats of “pearly pink” gel polish by DND 💖. This is a really pretty milky pink shade.

I also applied some nail stickers with a cloud design, and finished my gel nails with a coat of heavenly iridescent gel topcoat in the shade “cherub” 👼🏾 by Apres.

I used regular nail glue to apply my press on nails, my favorite is the drip and clog proof nail glue by beauty secrets 🙌🏾😩.

#LTKVideo #LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder50

I can’t believe I’m showing y’all my crusty heels on Beyonce’s internet 😂 but this foot peeling spray by earth therapeutics gets me right every time 🙌🏾😩.

I’ve been doing my pedicures at home for a while to save money, and this is my fave product to get rid of rough heels.

I spray it on, rub it in, and the dead skin rolls right off. You can get it at Walmart or on Amazon for less than $10!

#LTKVideo #LTKBeauty

I wanted a nail cart to hold all my DIY nail supplies, but girl, I’m on a budget 😂. So here’s how I made my own DIY pink nail cart (inspired by Shu.Shu.56 on TikTok) 🛒💅🏾✨

I got this clear 10 drawer storage cart on sale at Michael’s. After my coupons and voucher I only paid like $5 or $7 🙌🏾😩.

I used “Candy Pink” spray paint by Rust-Oleum for all the drawers 💖 and “Gold” for all the metal stuff ✨. I used one whole can of each, and I got a second can of pink paint for touch ups.

I did scratch the paint a couple of times, so I will probably seal it soon.

I love how much storage space I have now with this cart, though I will say my mini gel polishes inside their stands don’t fit in the drawers.

That’s not a big deal to me
though, because I’m still able to easily organize everything.

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKBeauty

I love to wear press on nails, and I’m trying to take better care of my natural nails underneath too 💅🏾✨.

Sometimes I’ve been a lil impatient and snatched my press ons off 😂😅, which isn’t great for my natural nails underneath.

When I want to give my nails a rest, I use this 3 Keratin Day Growth Treatment by Nail Aid 💛.

It leaves my nails immediately feeling stronger with a nice shine to them 💪🏾 . I apply two coats, and it dries pretty quickly.

I usually get it from Walmart or Amazon for under $5! 🛍️
