#NewMakeupPurchase + Review: The ItsMyRayeRaye Palette

In the YouTube beauty and makeup world, it seems like product collaborations are almost required once you hit one million subbies. Because so many beauty gurus have come out with makeup products and collaborations, it almost feels like the market is overflooded, at least to me. Therefore, I rarely get excited when a guru I’m subscribed to releases a product. I definitely feel happiness for the…

Last week, I started my first day as a full vegan, on Monday, October 23, 2017. Let me tell you…that first day was rough. To get as used to this lifestyle as possible, I decided to start with a 30-day raw vegan fast. I did no research on it, just jumped in full steam ahead, with a raw vegan breakfast and lunch pre-made the night before:

Day 1 Breakfast: Fruit and nut bowl with a blueberry smoothie.

Veggie and nut bowl consisting of avocados, carrots, beets, olives, cashews, and walnuts.

I mention that I didn’t research, because I definitely should have researched the effects of suddenly following a raw vegan diet. If I had, I would have been prepared for that first day occurrence that is common for a lot of people who do this: withdrawal like symptoms as your body detoxes.

Man! After I ate breakfast, then quickly rushed to lunch time (because of an inexplicable hunger), I experienced a round of migraines, dizziness, and hunger pains. I almost quit by the afternoon that Monday, but after reading up on the symptoms, I realized they would eventually pass.

Since then, I’ve gotten used to eating raw vegan and I can feel the difference in my body. I feel lighter and more, um…regular, which makes me feel really detoxed.

Beautification from the Inside: Transitioning to Vegan I've struggled for years with my weight, but that hasn't always bothered me because I grew up in a predominantly African American area, and what mainstream sees as fat, black communities see as "thick" and thick is a beautiful thing to a lot of us.

Fifteen Minute Makeup Routine

Fifteen Minute Makeup Routine

Face of the day after using my fifteen minute makeup routine. 

Last week I published a blog talking about my thirty-minute makeup routine. One of the things I mentioned was how busy things have gotten leading me to cut down my hour long routine. Well guess what? I’ve cut it down even more, to fifteen minutes max!

The thirty-minute routine consists of a maximum of five steps, but this one only has…
