This past weekend, I applied for the 2023 Sephora Squad ! I want to continue creating and helping people throughout my journey. Beauty is one of the things I post about BUT I don’t try nor will I ever focus on that one topic. I want to motivate and inspire people to pursue their dreams and transform mindsets because that what was done for me. It changed my life tremendously. It’s a blessing to have the people I have in my life that continue to pour knowledge into me and educate me so that I can become better in every aspect of my life. I said it before and I’ll say it again…. It doesn’t matter how many people are watching you, it is WHO that is watching that matters. Are you leading in every aspect of your life? How are you leading? What are you doing that people will want to follow? When you start a family, will they be proud of what you have created? . . If you ever felt motivated by my content or I helped you in any way, it doesn’t have to be beauty related, leave me a testimonial. If you can’t speak for my work, please speak on me as a person 💞 I want the testimonials to be as genuine as possible. Thank you in advance guys 😊 #sephorasquad #startnownottomorrow #mindsetmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CqTE8mTrxYp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Welcome to my visual diary for timeless fashion tips ♾️ Entry 2: Get a crew neck sweatshirt This incredibly soft and comfortable top is cooler to wear for warmer weather. The piece is classic and timeless meaning it will never go out of style. This trend became popular around the 1920s and still holds strong today. When the colder months come along, your crewneck can help you elevate your style by serving as a great layering piece. 5 factors to consider for choosing a high quality crewneck: -Material: I recommend fleece or cotton, as these are more breathable materials -Versatility: great piece for running errands, hanging with friends or can be business casual -Style: go with what you like best and what looks good on you -Fit: ensure that the fit isn’t too tight or loose, you want it to be comfortable -Care Instructions: avoid choosing a sweatshirt you have to dry clean. Crewnecks were designed to be easily cared for Will you be adding this piece to your timeless wardrobe? . . 📸: @jyshotit #affordablefashionitems #streetfashionphotography #slowfashionblogger #elevatedbasics https://www.instagram.com/p/CqN3RoirQha/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Welcome to my visual diary for timeless fashion tips ♾️ Entry 1: Get a vest A vest is versatile. You can wear it with anything and all year round. It should be a staple in your closet. Nothing is better than having a “go-to-look” that’s comfy and classic 👌🏽 Think of your vest as a way to elevate a basic piece in your wardrobe. When picking out your next piece to add to your wardrobe, ask yourself this first- “How many times and ways can I wear this piece?” . . 📸: @jyshotit #affordablefashionitems #streetfashionphotography #slowfashionblogger #elevatedbasics https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGIlEELMVO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

3 Skincare Myths ⤵️ 1️⃣ Sunscreen is for everyone, no matter what skin tone you are. Skin cancer as well as other harmful effects can come from not properly protecting your skin. 2️⃣ Acne is a common skin condition for some people and is not always caused by diet. Eating greasy or sugary foods can be a negative add on but so many other factors go into why someone experiences breakouts. 3️⃣ Burning means that your skin is irritated or you may be allergic to the skincare you’re using. Stop immediately and assess what can be done different to get the results you want. . . Which one have you fell victim to? . .

Here are 5 skincare tips I follow daily that are budget friendly⤵️ 🧖🏽‍♀️ Avoid touching your face! There are a ton of germs on your hands that can leave you prone to breakouts! 🧖🏽‍♀️ Take a break from makeup. Don’t worry, you don’t have to stop using it forever but it will help to give your pores a break. Try skin tint or a nice dewy sunscreen 🧖🏽‍♀️ Change your bedding. This sounds like common sense but if you do it more often than usual you may find to have less breakouts 🧖🏽‍♀️ Avoid sugar! Sometimes a lot of what we eat has to do with some of our skin issues, try a diet change to see if it helps 🧖🏽‍♀️ Stay hydrated. This is important because it can help with dry skin, skin conditions as well as wrinkles What skincare tips do you follow? #skincaretip #skincaredailyroutine #skincaredaily #budgetskincare https://www.instagram.com/p/CpyrLFTjFRd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

March has entered the chat✨ The year is flying by and I’m happy to have checked some short term goals off the list! I typically write down at least 5 short term goals that are REALISTIC each month. This way I hold myself accountable. If I don’t accomplish everything, I’ve learned not to beat myself up about it. I’m human, it happens. ⤵️ How I overcome this? I use the following month to reflect. & I think of obstacles that prevented me from completing those tasks. You can do the same while showing yourself grace 🫶🏽 #selflovespo #protectyourenergy #loveyourselffirst #blackcontentcreators #blackinfluencers https://www.instagram.com/p/CpX7-2Pr8Pn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed when styling my hair but lately it’s been fun 🤩 I have 4c hair so I try to put an emphasis on my styling products as well as my styling tools. Brushes are an ESSENTIAL for me. I love a nice updo. Owning brushes that will detangle and/or slick my hair back with ease is a necessity. 😮‍💨 Smoothing thick hair out is not an easy task 🫣 I love that @patternbeauty leave-in conditioner helps to loosen and refresh my curls when I want to put it up! I finish my style off with shine spray to help lock in moisture and I’m ready to go! It was the perfect quick & easy date night look 😍 . . Products used ⤵️ ✨Double-sided bristle brush (bristles are strong enough to lay those curls but soft enough to smooth your hair- balance 🤌🏽) ✨Paddle brush (this little baby can do some thangs when paired with heat, perfect for styling) ✨Leave-in conditioner (contains rose, neroli & patchouli, without the overpowering scent) ✨Shine spray (locks in moisture w/ castor oil & plumeria flower extract, smells so bomb 😍) #rockyourpattern #styleyourpattern #skeepersfamily #patternbeautygiftedme #4chaircare https://www.instagram.com/p/CpSxVdDu-Oe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This picture was taken at the beginning of last year and boy was it a day 🙃 I just recently got through Covid for a second time and I was stuck in the house for the holidays leading up to this pic. I told my bf to take a pic of me because I wanted to reflect on where I would be a year later. I believe that documenting your progress is SO IMPORTANT because it pushes you to do better and better each year. Tunnel vision is real and it’s something that can be beneficial to you when it comes down to reaching your goals. Delayed gratification is adulting frfr. I was not letting the month of January go by without me doing ANYTHING for an entire 31 days 🤨 so I got up and got dressed, did my makeup & looked for places to shoot around my apartment !

Did you know that over 30 million people in the U.S. have eczema? ⤵️ Hi ! I’m Bianca and for those who don’t know me ➡️ I’m a beauty & lifestyle content creator. One of my goals is to help others safely and effectively *maintain* their skin eczema ☺️ Unfortunately, I’ve dealt with eczema since I was a little girl. I know how painful and disrupting it can be to daily activities or life overall. I used to use steroid creams, prescribed lotions, medications…you name it. All of which ultimately made my skin condition worse. As I got older, I found different ways to cope with my skin condition that have significantly changed my life. Now, I can use scented lotions occasionally and even wear perfume without it affecting or irritating my skin. . . One of my secrets to keep my eczema at bay on my face is @skinfixinc Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Face Cream 🤫🤭 . .

Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated ⤵️ Try not to get overwhelmed with your facial routine. Begin by simply starting with the basics. As you get used to your routine, you can adjust or add on products as needed. Become familiar with your skin and just show it some good lovin 😉 . . 4️⃣ EASY tips that helped me along the way! . . 1️⃣ DOUBLE CLEANSE- YES, I know it sounds like a lot BUT just like you shampoo your hair twice, make sure to do the same for your face.
