Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia for … curated on LTK

My Birthday Wish list for August 2023. Putting it out into the universe & keeping my self accountable 😅🌸
I seem to have a new obsession with bags ….especially Chanel bags 😅
Of course I don’t plan on getting all the bags shown ….maybe 1 or 2 😜
For sure I want the Swarovski rectangle earrings but likely in green, pink or yellow

The best Vegan Leather trench coat for the price! Great fit! Looks much more expensive! Great for the fall/ autumn 🍂
Tip: It is not real leather and has a chemical odor . Hang it up to air dry for a few days before wearing.
Yes I would buy it again! 😅
It is a bestseller! Get it before they sell out!
Please verify the sizes! I went up one size in the Scoop moto trench coat highlighted.

Travel companion high quality luggage from LEVEL 8 Luggage
I chose the large yellow suitcase to make it easier to pick out on the airport conveyer belt surrounded by tons of dark suitcases. I also happen to like yellow but you may prefer black , silver or dark blue.
Either way level 8 delivers quickly and it is quality you deserve.

Everything you need to braid your own hair! DIY boho braids, knotless braids, goddess braids, box braids etc
Save money and do it yourself! #knotlessbraids

#LTKStyleTip #LTKBeauty #LTKSaleAlert

When the sun shines through on your natural hair. ☺️ Relaxer and color free hair . Our hair grows when we show it love ❤️
Products I use shown while wearing my natural hair or during protective styles.
The standing rack or table rack is so helpful when braiding and pre sectioning hair while the 3 way mirror 🪞 is such a God send while parting the back of my head.
When I want a silk press I use the exact titanium flat iron seen here.

Hair products I use to maintain my natural type 4 hair.
From my recent GRWM for a holiday party video. I have linked as many of the items I actually used or very similar products.
First of all you need a good flat iron - although I admit I could have done a better job straightening my hair.
I also used clip-ins to avoid heat to most of my natural hair.
Oh and don’t forget the dress!

#LTKHoliday #LTKHolidaySale #LTKmidsize

Natural hair Products I use. Hair & Styling products that help me retain length, moisture and fullness!
I have kinky curly type 4 hair that feels dry without products. I wear a lot of protective styles including braids, wigs, crochet styles, weaves, clip ins….I like a good braid out or twist out when I wear my natural hair out and the Cream of Nature or Pudding by Ors gets the job done!
Don’t forget a silk pillow case also helps and a bonnet.
A 3 way mirror is also so handy when parting while doing braids or daily styling.
I don’t have a particular shampoo I must use but I do use setting lotion ( the purple bottle) which leaves my hair soft after washing or before drying.
I try to avoid flat irons or excessive heat but if I do I will use a heat protector first.

Affordable Wigs that are Easy! No major styling needed! No glue or lace or hairline to worry about! Pop it on and go.
All 5 wigs seen in this reel are under $20 and from TEMU . They are also synthetic and may have a little shedding.
I have included some slightly higher priced human hair wigs as well that look natural and are easy to wear. ☺️ Some of them are from Amazon.
Get ready for the busy holiday season 😅

Temu finds from the “Pink Hot Mess” clothing, bags, wig’s & accessories haul 🤣 Seriously the Metallic bag and black & white skirt is a steal! 💕

My new baby is a Full Silicone baby girl
18 inches, she feels real and is heavy.
I love her 😍 and although she is a factory doll from Temu ( full unboxing on YouTube: Kenton & Habiba- under the playlist: crafts & dolls)

I am looking forward to getting an artist made full silicone doll or Reborn doll which as you can imagine can get pretty pricey.
I will link a few options of Silicone dolls as well as the one I bought.
Keep in mind the options from Amazon are cheaper but also Smaller (16 inches versus realistic 18-22 inches)

Why would a grown woman want such a doll?
There are many reasons: comfort, loneliness- many older women live alone or may have lost a spouse or child. Younger women who suffer from infertility, miscarriages or death of a child. Some women feel more relaxed holding a baby or doll such as this. Helping to combat anxiety.
Women who want kids later but are not ready to commit yet may enjoy having a realistic looking doll with all the obligations.
Silicone dolls are often used in teaching in the medical setting as well.
Some people like myself have collected different types of dolls for years and appreciate the art and work that goes into making these dolls look realistic.
Once you hold one of these dolls you will understand ☺️
Ps Silicone dolls ideally are not for small children because they are delicate and expensive and may tear easily if mishandled. 🍼
Vinyl Reborns are better for kids ( and some adults 😊

It is always a good time for a cup of tea or even a ☕️ tea party!
Of course you will need a tea pot and some tea cups. Can I suggest the clear teapot from Tea Bloom especially if you plan to serve some pretty hand tied floral teas! If you are more of a breakfast tea person or like to stick with tradition then feel free to get a China tea set like the Old country Roses set shown.
Don’t forget your sandwich’s, scones & dessert 🧁
