hey girl hey welcome back to our video
0:18
I'm originated from the curvy
0:19
fashionista I hope that you're having a
0:21
good day wherever and whenever you're
0:24
watching this
0:24
so we switch it up a little bit today
0:27
because I wanted to actually talk about
0:29
self-care and some of the things in my
0:32
journey so I share with you like how you
0:36
know started therapy I've been changing
0:38
you know been very intentional about
0:41
doing things about you know for me and
0:43
that made me happy and what kind of
0:47
learned to kind of take time out for
0:49
myself I used to I would be all about
0:51
work when I was happy I'd work when I'm
0:53
sad I was working when I was angry I
0:55
would go to work when I was bored I
0:57
would go to work like for me running
1:00
this came became 24/7 so I never had an
1:02
outlet for myself so over the past like
1:05
six months or so I've been really taking
1:07
a very conscientious effort in taking
1:10
steps to kind of pour back into me doing
1:12
things for myself and with that like you
1:17
know kind of indulging in certain things
1:19
so for me it was sleep you know like
1:21
getting a new bed
1:25
especially one that I could roll around
1:26
in like and just have so much fun with
1:29
but then another thing was like also you
1:33
know going to get waxed getting my nails
1:35
done doing things that just let me kind
1:39
of mother on myself and love and nurture
1:41
on myself so with that being said it's
1:45
also about taking a little bit better
1:46
care of myself so for me that's like
1:48
skin care hair care nail care all that
1:51
kind of care and I wanted to talk about
1:53
it and actually share some new products
1:56
that I'm going to be playing around with
1:58
over the next couple of months so that I
2:00
can kind of pour into myself so it's
2:03
important that you find something that
2:05
you can pour into yourself with whether
2:06
it be for me I love my coffees you never
2:08
going away however I may want to get
2:11
some fun coffee mug
2:13
may want to get some done you know
2:15
something that makes me happy that's
2:17
just for me right so what I have here
2:20
are a couple of products that are some I
2:23
started playing around with some of them
2:25
are brand new to me and I wanted to
2:28
share them with you so first up sleep
2:31
right sweet is so important for me so
2:35
one of my homegirls runs the good night
2:39
darling company right so this right here
2:42
and this right here I also got a tea but
2:45

2:50
detox bath soap it's called bathe right
2:54
so this one right here is I haven't used
2:57

2:59
ready for however this puppy right here
3:01
this fade to black
3:03
pillow spray yo like and a little bit
3:06
goes a long way because I've been using
3:07
it for a like oh like a couple of weeks
3:11
and I'm surprised that it's not like
3:14
down here already but this right here
3:16
smells so good and I just spray it on my
3:20
pillow and it's like amazing and it's
3:24

3:39
things that I got I feel like I kind of
3:42
needed that the coffee beans to smell
3:44
because like I got some more smell good
3:47
so I think this is pronounced neat KN e
3:52
IPP leap I'm going to guess anyways this
3:56

3:59
poppy and him poppy and hemp sounds like
4:03
I'm not to get high right however oh
4:07
it's still so good so good like here it
4:13

4:15
Oh like this is like bathtub glass of
4:19
wine and again a new and the new um
4:22
what's his name oh my gosh
4:26
I love him and I'm totally like but a
4:28
new book right I can't forget - mm
4:31

4:32
remember and I'll pop it up over there
4:34
but a new book to kind of just lay in
4:37
the bath and just kind of zone out they
4:39
also sit a Long Goodbye cream that kind
4:42
of matches it so let's see
4:45
she'd open it note it I just just got it
4:50
so I'm kind of excited to see yeah
4:53
oh it's like the same it's the same and
5:01
it's like I had to open it so this is
5:03
the neat body cream I hope I'm saying
5:06
this correctly neat I feel really done
5:09
but if it's not but whatever um so this
5:12
is like soft skin indulgence I'm here
5:14
for self skin soft skin almond milk
5:17
extract and natural almond oil
5:19
moisturize and keep the skin soft holler
5:22
I'm all about that so that's neat right
5:25
so do puff right so I was excited
5:31
because I've been reading some of the
5:33
newest kind of technologies I already
5:36
use like a chocolate or chocolate a
5:39
charcoal um kind of scrub like this kind
5:44
of a sponge but this company has like
5:47
various types of charcoal scrub for me
5:50
I'm I'm kind of paying more attention to
5:52
my skin it's interesting as I get older
5:55
like my I don't like to wear a lot of
5:58
makeup like as our foundation like after
6:01
a while might be a good ol you like I
6:05
have to have it take it off
6:06
so for me I'm always trying to perfect
6:09
my complexion like I really want to
6:12
start working on my complexion drinking
6:13
or water and taking more vitamins to
6:17
kind of help my skin just really kind of
6:20
big dope without makeup right well I
6:24
don't even know if that sounds right but
6:26
basically I want to have both skin and
6:29
so making sure I Koli and cleanse right
6:31
so when I swim right here is bamboo
6:34
charcoal natural and products
6:37
antioxidants for blemish prone
6:39
good so for me like I'm probably going
6:41
to be working with this one because and
6:45
then you know sometimes I have
6:46
hyperpigmentation so I want to make sure
6:49
that I'm like evening out my complexion
6:51
that I'm brightening it up they sent me
6:53
two other options like this this one is
6:55
aging clay and then this one helps
6:59
stimulate skin cells while absorbing
7:01
impurities below the poor level tired or
7:05
aging skin feels renewed I may go with
7:08
this one who knows the trick
7:10
you gotta then we have the original the
7:15
original one this is the original one
7:17
and this one is gentle enough for any
7:21
type of skin so they're hard right
7:23
they're like they feel really hard but
7:25
once you wet them they get really spongy
7:26
but they're like exfoliating like I'm
7:28
totally down with this one especially
7:30
like I mean why not if anything will
7:34
help kind of work on the skincare I'm
7:36
here for it that'd make me feel better
7:38
be more happier about my presentation
7:41
and I'm working it out so remember I was
7:44
talking about I don't know if you
7:45
remember or if you caught me on Facebook
7:47
like I was talking about going to get
7:48
waxed so I get it it was painful a tail
7:52
but it was fun
7:54
the lady made me laugh a whole lot
7:55
because I was really nervous so that was
7:58
nice
7:59
shout out to European Wax Center holler
8:01
um so I got this stuff um this is called
8:07
my skin and company perfect so they have
8:11
this like roll-on clinical strength for
8:14
ingrown hairs razor bumps and
8:16
inflammation is infused with organic tea
8:19
tree oil and fine black and white willow
8:22
bark extract for both men and women so
8:26
it's literally like a deodorant kind of
8:28
if I could open this you see it has like
8:33
the little rollerball so I've been using
8:35
this and it smells very like mediciney
8:38
but I'm like you know what it was going
8:40
to work and it's going to help with you
8:42
know after I wax and everything I'm here
8:46
for that so this is like the roll-on and
8:48
then this one is after the
8:51
laughs after the rain sir this is what I
8:53
have not used yet but it's a creamy like
8:58
a cream that you kind of just like
9:00
usefulness yeah it has the same smell
9:03
but I mean I'm like hey if this is going
9:06
to help me prevent my razor bumps or
9:09
ingrown hairs hyperpigmentation and all
9:12
that fun stuff
9:13
I'm here for it so you know I'm trying
9:15
to be more proactive in areas that I
9:18
feel self-conscious about for me under
9:21
my arms like I don't have like that
9:23
bright skin color you know like that
9:25
natural just like you know I have like
9:26
razor bumps sometimes or ingrown hairs
9:29
or like hyperpigmentation from shaving
9:34
so you know I'm like let me try some
9:36
different products and find out which
9:37
one is my perfect Jam same thing was
9:40
under my chin now I must say somebody
9:43
often asked me about the little thing
9:45
that I use on the at-home hair remover
9:48
laser thing I have not been using it I'm
9:51
so bad
9:52
so bad I fell off and then you got to
9:55
start all over too because you got to do
9:57
it for six weeks right it's really
9:59
intense to like remember to do that for
10:01
six weeks either I got to make myself
10:02
like a reminder or I have to have
10:04
someone like on my ass in order to do it
10:06
like I'm going to try again because you
10:11
know I was feeling really hopeful and
10:12
now that I'm waxing maybe that'll help
10:15
maybe who knows okay so the last thing
10:19
that I got is from vitae Brid it's like
