AUGUST 2018 OBSESSION

IKA 2 Comments

WHOA! August has come to an end. My birthday month; my favorite month; the ONLY month! After all of the celebration (I celebrate all of August) I have to sign off with an obsession. I won’t disappoint.

L’ORÉAL Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara is EVERYTHING! A coworker turned good girlfriend introduced me to the magic and I’m hooked. I feel like it caters to each individual lash one by one and leaves me with a truly voluminous result. Want more? Get the primer!

You KNOW I’m not messing around. This stuff is great!

JULY 2018 OBSESSION

IKA 2 Comments

July is over! Best time of year because we’re entering my birthday month! It won’t keep me from giving you all the things I love, including my July obsession. 3…2…1…

Guys. To be honest, my skin gets irritated (I’m talking full body here) all year but mostly in these summer. The cause: SWEAT. I like to stay active so working out is part of my weekly schedule in some way or form. The issue is the dash home from the studio on the train. The subway during the summer in NYC can feel like pure hell and my skin gets very angry.
Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash has helped calm down this irritation. This is actually my first month trying it out and it’s been a great help with irritation along my chest and back, caused by the heat and humidity.
If you suffer from heat rash or skin irritations like the one I mentioned check with your dermatologist for the best option. For me, this is perfect!

MAY 2018 OBSESSION

Where does the time go? Zipping by. I just came back from a quick trip to D.C. Visited The National Museum of African American History and Culture. O.M.G. It was amazing! While there I realized that I was using an obsession. Now’s the perfect time to share!

Do you suffer from dry skin? I do. Worst in the Winter but even hits me in the Summer ironically. Vitamin E oil is changing my skin, friends. It’s fat-soluble antioxidant that is essential for the maintenance of healthy skin.
I have one in the bathroom cabinet, one in my shower, and one at work! Obsessed of course! I think the way I love to use it most is while my skin is still wet after a shower. It seeps in nicely and lasts for most of the day. In the winter I might double up with a cream once I’m out the shower but during these warmer months, it’s perfect! The best part is, it doesn’t break the bank. I get mine from Trader Joes. Don’t you just love TRADER JOES!

Listen! Get on it. I’m telling you!

MARCH 2018 OBSESSION

The year is moving along so quickly, isn’t it? Spring is here despite all the snow lol. Of course I have a monthly obsession for March. You’ll like it, I already know!

The Bobbi Brown Soothing Cleansing Milk is so dope! Super lightweight formula. It’s milky which is a nice change from my foamy cleansers. With sensitive skin it’s great to have because it never feels like I’m stripping too much moisture away. I love it! I think you will too!
