Beauty x Style

Growing up, my grandma taught me how to ball on a budget and I’m grateful for that because it forced me to be creative and think outside the box. It allowed me to express who I am and discover my style. My superlative in high school was ‘Most Likely to Break Dress Code,’ till this day, I enjoy finding ways to push my style to its limit while managing to stay on brand with who I am. My style ranges from wearing basic staple items like denim and white cropped tanks to an all black edgy look. When it comes to beauty, it all starts within by eating well, drinking water, and having a skincare routine that works for your skin type. Listening to your body is major key and if you don’t, your skin will tell you!

Q&A

• What is beauty? Beauty starts with someone’s aura. It’s not necessarily something you see but feel when you interact with that person. It’s a transferable feeling that can make someone else feel good about themselves.

• Do you remember your first makeup item? Hmm… I didn’t start wearing makeup until my sophomore year of college but growing up I remember having sets of eyeshadow, blush and lipgloss that my friends and I would play dress up with. The first makeup item I bought myself… I believe was mascara. That was the only thing I would wear my freshman year.

• Is there any kind of makeup you can’t leave the house without? I will not walk out the house without putting my on eyebrows, the Fenty Beauty lipgloss, and as of lately, the Rare Beauty Liquid blush in the shade ‘Love.’

• What’s your favorite skincare product? My favorite skincare products are the Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Tonic and their Soothing Cleansing Oil.

Travel

My first international experience was a study aboard trip to Peru in 2016 and it changed my life. Travel wasn’t just a hobby but became a part of my lifestyle. It shaped who I am, how I view life, and allowed me to create unimaginable experiences for myself. It became therapeutic and allowed me to be creative as I captured moments and made memories. Originally, this website was dedicated to just my travels: photos, blogs, vlogs, and more. Even though my travels have slowed down, it is still a huge part of my life and I want you to join me on this journey as I seek out new adventures!
