Red has become one of my favorite colors because it's so bold, and you definitely stand out when you wear it in a monochromatic outfit...

I opted for an all-red look. I wanted everything to match, even my heels. Interestingly, most people who saw me that day asked me where I got this set from. This actually isn't a set, it's a separate top and bottom that I put together because the colors were very similar.




Anyways, after falling in love with this look, I think it's safe to say I'm gonna do more monochromatic outfits in 2019 ;)

Mornings are so sacred for me. If I have a good morning, then chances are I'll have a good day as well. The first moments after I wake up set the tone for my day, so I always try to make sure that they're nice.


My morning routine is basically the same every day, I like consistency. All the products I use will be mentioned in this post. They will also be in bold and you can click on them if you wish to view/ purchase them.

On the weekends, I do have a bit more time so there are some minor tweaks but in general, this is what I do:

Before showering:

1) The first thing I do when I wake up is wash my face (with lukewarm water) with an acne-prone gel-based cleanser from the brand Ducray. It's super gentle and gets rid of all the junk in my skin.

2) After I wash my face, I brush my teeth and then hop in the shower.

During my shower:


1)  When I'm in the shower, I first wash my body with African BlackSoap from Ghana. Then, I use a Dove body wash to add an extra layer and make sure my body is well cleansed.

2) Then, I exfoliate with a Dove body scrub(I only do this 3 times a week).

3) After exfoliating, I like to do a body mask. I use the Mask of Magnaminty from Lush. It leaves me feeling super fresh and clean, I love it!

4) Once I’m done with that, I use the Lush foot scrub to exfoliate the heels and soles of my feet. Afterwards, I use the Lush foot soak to clean my feet up.

After my shower:


As soon as I’m done showering, I step out and let myself air dry. This is the best thing to do because it helps your body retain moisture.

I don’t know why but this month of January has been quite productive for me. I mean, this is my 2^nd post in less than 2 weeks! I guess it’s because I enjoy blogging, and I honestly missed it. The end of 2018 was quite hectic for me in terms of everything I had to do, so I’m happy things have calmed down now  and I can get back to my routine.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2019 is filled with nothing but love, happiness and success for you  all. I am a bit late with my wishes but...

Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2019 is filled with nothing but love, happiness and success for you  all. I am a bit late with my wishes but in my defense, I was away on vacation haha.

I'm back in the U.S. after a few weeks in super sunny Senegal (woah alliteration game strong). This was a much needed vacation, and I'm happy I got to spend it with my friends and family. I feel so at peace, relaxed, rejuvenated, and ready to focus on my goals for this new year.

Since it was warm back home, I got to wear nice frivolous clothing.  They were some of my favorite looks so I thought I'd share them with you guys and give you a little bit of inspiration :)

Look 1:

This was one of the very firsts outfits I wore when I was back in Dakar. I went out for brunch with my friends and family on this day so I wanted to keep it simple.  I was feeling relaxed so I paired some pants with a simple tee and block heels, along with a Japanese kimono. This kimono has become one of my favorite items: the colors and the design are so mesmerizing!

























Looking back on these outfits, I'm really happy I got to ditch the boots, winter coats and scarves for a while :).
