Beauty Talk: The 3 Skincare Products I Can’t Live Without

June 28, 2018

I get asked a lot about my skincare routine and much like my relationship with mascara, my mom is responsible for nearly everything I know about skincare. She has always stressed the importance of protecting and caring for your skin with quality products. Even better, she practices what she preaches — and it shows —… Read More Beauty Talk: The 3 Skincare Products I Can’t Live Without

Never could have anticipated a simple statement [" Never could have anticipated a simple statement ["ask that Lizzie chick you work with if she wants to come on the cruise"] would lead to these last three years filled with laughs, unwanted tequila shots, brunches with WAY too much champagne, and you eventually learning that I am NOT worth sprinting across a pool deck to save from going overboard.🤪

Sorry for never blessing you when you sneeze (read: cough). Sorry for that time at the beach when I selfishly stopped tying your bathing suit top so I could avoid a wave, which resulted in you flashing the entire beach. And sorry to remind you once again, that THIS starts the final year of your twenties. But, according to our Olive Garden waitress and all the boys at Crab Island... you're not even legally an adult.🤷🏻‍♀️

Happy Birthday to a literal ANGEL (her words, not mine)! So thankful for you best friend... congratulations, you've finally been promoted from "my coworker" status. But I'll see ya in five minutes for our commute in.👯‍♀️

Today was not a good day, and no, it had nothing to do with having a Valentine or not. Anxiety had me feeling like 756 bricks were sitting heavy on my chest and frustration had me ready to chuck my laptop across the room. I ended up taking a four hour nap - something I never do - and I woke up feeling like the day had been wasted. Meanwhile, I was no further along with the project I was working on.✨
.
.
I tried to take it out on leg day at the gym, but because I was dehydrated and hadn't eaten well all day, it depleted me even more. So I decided to pull an affirmation card from my @yettisays Mission Self-Love deck and got this one.✨
.
.
I knew it was true, but it was confirmed when I shared my frustrations with "my person" [ @feliciaamorris ] and by the end of the conversation she said: "I know you suck at venmo but I just sent you some money for Papa John’s. don’t venmo me back or say thank you, just order yourself papa."✨
.
.
Indeed, I'm surrounded by good love. And I'll be able to go to bed with a grateful heart knowing that to be true and knowing that it will allow me to give good love in return.❤️
.

Happy Valentine's Day and for me, clearly Galentine's Day is just as special.❤️
Gracing your timelines with this beauty as she cel Gracing your timelines with this beauty as she celebrates 32 blessed years on this earth. In reality, SHE is the blessing to this world. Her outer beauty (I mean LOOK at her 😍) is simply a reflection of her inner beauty. She shares her light and creative genius in ways that, most times, I just have to sit back and admire. To me, she has always been an absolute gift and to say that I may not have survived 2020 without her would have been the understatement of the year.✨

I often think about the timing of our lives, the choices we make along the way, and maybe just the pure fate that divinely leads us to the things and people that are meant for us. Today, I'm showing gratitude for all that led us to each other and all that made me deserving of such a true friend.✨

To my Ebony: Happy Birthday! I don't know what I'd do without you. Love, your Ivory✨

Every year, I look forward to posting my #topnine but this year, I've decided to instead share a photo that my dear friend @kyara_maria // @labhousestudios took back in June. I never shared it, or any of the others she took even though I loved them SO much.✨
.
.
The truth is, I knew my smile was "genuine" because Ky made me laugh in that moment. Beyond that moment, I was deeply hurting, and my grandmother had just passed, and the entire world was on fire with injustices lurking around every corner.✨
.
.
Shit was DARK and this photo just didn't feel real to me then. However, now I look at it with such pride and a sense of peace. I am truly proud of the way I carried myself this year despite everything. I'm proud that I never once strayed from being the compassionate and loving person I am, even when certain people didn't deserve either. Above all I'm fucking proud of the way I fought for that smile.✨
.
.
As proud as I am... I'm mostly GRATEFUL. And since gratitude was my word of 2020, I wrote one more blog to close out this year. It's a love letter to 2020 if you will. And of course 👉🏼 #linkinbio ✨

As many others are doing as we approach the close As many others are doing as we approach the close of such an unbelievably painful year, I, too, have been doing a lot of reflecting on 2020.✨
.

For me, the passing of Chadwick Boseman remains one of the most pivotal events. Something not many people know about me is that I love sitting on YouTube for hours upon hours in the month of May listening to commencement speeches. Chadwick's address to his alma mater, Howard University, was my absolute favorite from 2018. Of course, in the days following his death, I found myself listening in again.✨
.
.
It meant something a little different in 2020... knowing the pain he suffered through to give us Black Panther, among many other characters he brought to life in his final years, I was in awe of his unwavering drive and determination to fulfill his purpose.✨
.
.
This got me to thinking about how it is so apparent, now more than ever, that our time here on this Earth is so fleeting. So finite. But also, so unknown. One of my biggest fears has always been that my stories will die inside me because I haven't been as committed to my purpose as I should be.✨
.
.
Moving forward into 2021, I don't want that fear to silence me any longer. More importantly, I want to remember that all the struggles of 2020 - personally, nationally, and globally - are continually shaping me for my purpose. And while this year was not at all what I had planned, it feels like I am exactly where I should be... on the planet at this particular time in history.✨
