It’s no secret that we all want that perfect, clear, and dewy skin. What does seem to be a secret is how to get it. Over the course of my teenage years and maybe even into my early 20’s, I can’t begin to tell you how many skincare products I’d tried that just did not seem to combat the bad acne I was suffering from. I mean, I tried Proactiv, Neutrogena, and several other brands, but they just didn’t work. After finally being introduced to my now holy grail facial cleanser by Desert Essence, I was finally able to stop the breakouts and start the clearing process. As I got older and became more knowledgeable about skincare, I realized that simply relying on facial cleanser for clear skin is not enough. There are other key factors that play a role in getting and maintaining great skin. Below are a few tips!

Happy New Year!

Let me start off by saying I hope you all had a safe and happy holiday season. Can you believe it’s officially 2020? With the busiest time of the year now behind us, it’s time to reshift our focus to developing a new set of goals for the next six to twelve months. As exciting as it is to think about the changes we want to make to better our lives or “level up”, we often forget that change also requires sacrifice. So, with every goal that we make, whether we realize it or not, it’s going to require us to make room for those things to blossom. We have a lot of glowing up to do and we cannot do that if we’re still hanging on to hindering habits. Here are a few things to let go of in 2020.

XOXO Kesha

I feel like I say this every year, but I can’t believe it’s officially the holiday season. Christmas is less than two weeks away and as always, I am number one on the late Christmas shoppers list. However, according to family, friends, and peers, I’m certainly not the only one, which makes me feel just a little less embarrassed about my lack of better planning. Since next weekend is the last weekend before Christmas, I thought it would be helpful to round up a list of last-minute gift ideas for both him and her — whether it’s for your mother, father, brother, sister, significant other, or best friend.

Usually, I’m a perfectionist and always looking for the perfect segue into a topic, but today is one of those days where I’m just going to dive right into it. Yesterday, I discovered a new podcast. ‘I’m Here For The Food’ is hosted by Melyssa Ford of ‘Hollywood Unlocked’, along with her co-hosts Blue Telusma and Chantelle Anderson. The podcast is described as a place where the ladies expand on conversations and topics related to “today’s every woman.” They will share their thoughts, opinions, and experiences on womanhood and trending topics in a long-form discussion.
