First of all, happy new year! I have missed each and every one of you and also writing about me (that sounds so self-centered😂😭). I took an unplanned hiatus from the writing and I hope I am back to full writing capacity. The book has been keeping me on my toes and extremely busy (story for the next post!). Let’s get into today’s business and welcome back!❤️

I’m sure we all have the basics of a daily beauty routine down. Wash your face, protect your skin, etc. But I thought I’d go a little more in-depth about what I do to always feel my best. Over time, I’ve figured out what works best for me, and sticking to my beauty maintenance schedule has dramatically improved my skin, my hair, and through that, my confidence. Having clearer skin means I worry less and always feel put together. No more worrying about last-minute plans that I don’t feel ready for!

Wash And Style Hair

I can usually go a whole week between washes. I always air dry my dreadlocks and only in desperate situations do I blow dry them. I feel they dry better? I don’t know, maybe it is just a personal preference and something I brought over from having natural hair. Learning to style my dreadlocks has been fun and painful but totally worth it!

Eyebrows threaded

I will not lie and tell you all that I do this regularly because I do not remember the last time I got my eyebrows done. It has been on the list for a while but it remains a necessity.

Nails and Lashes

I am just now entering into my lashes era and I do not know anyway else to live. It feels divine having my eyelashes done. It is such a confidence boost and totally worth it. The cat eye combo I found on TikTok was perfectly executed. 10/10.

My nails, I try to keep up with and as much as I want to be a short nails girlie, I fail miserably. I love my talons. My recent sets:

Waxing

I have a confession: I wanted to self-wax and thank goodness I got some sense before I did something drastic. I will not go into the pros of waxing as that is something you can easily look up but all I can do is recommend that you stop shaving and start waxing. Thank me, later.

After writing this all down, it looks like a lot. But by breaking it all up into days, weeks, and months, it’s all pretty manageable. I’m curious about what you guys do! Let me know if there’s anything you’re doing that’s been life-changing and that I need to add to my beauty I’m maintenance schedule ASAP!
