I stumbled across this Black Soap Foaming Face Wash through the instagram grapevine and had to give it a try based on all of the amazing results and reviews. AfokoSkin is a Black owned skincare company owned by Afoko Amelia who is also a YouTuber. Once I did some research, I had to try it and surprisingly my sister got it for my birthday. One thing you should know, the last time I felt truly comfortable in my skin was high school. That’s the last time I remember not really worrying about blemishes and was super confident, always taking pictures and feeling normal. lol Then in college my skin went crazy! I tried everything (literally) accutane included and went through phases of ok skin but never blemish free. Today, I’m feeling the way I used to feel in high school! My skin started to clear about a year ago but wasn’t perfect. I was on the hunt for new skin care products and finding this has been a skin life saver. This foaming Black Soap cleanser is super gentle, soft and luxurious. It is also very moisturizing, unlike most Black Soaps. It has all natural ingredients which I love. Paired with your other fave products in your regimin your skin is going to glow. I haven’t worn makeup for weeks. I’m just like for what?! lol Especially in this summer heat. I purchased my second bottle, so you know that I’m invested! I would recommend this product for sure!

It was so delish and has a nice boost so I have been loving it. I literally feel like a barista, it’s so good. I’m not even a coffee drinker like that but know good coffee when I have it. The Dalgona trend started in South Korea since Covid19 has been in our mist but it actually originated in India and goes by the name of Phenti Hui which means “beaten” coffee.“Dalgona” comes from a Korean honeycomb candy that goes by the same name. When whipped, the coffee mixture takes on a toffee-like consistency and color that makes it resemble the Korean candy. It’s super simple to make and consists of a few simple ingredients which include, Instant Coffee, Granulated Sugar, Water and Milk. Yes, you have to use Instant coffee. There are no ways around it. That may be disappointing for some but coffee doesn’t hold the same foaming agent properties Instant coffee provides to get the whipped texture. No worries though, it’s still amazing!

First, cucumbers are high in nutrients. They are also low in calories but high in many important vitamins and minerals. They contain antioxidants, boosts hydration, may aid in weight loss and promotes glowing skin. I prefer to use french cucumbers (I just like them better lol). I slice down the middle long ways then chop into chunks down from right to left. The cucumber should be cubed like shown in the picture. This recipe is very impromptu. I did not use any exact measurements as shown in Jeanie’s video but trust me, it’s super easy. It also has a little spice to it…just to let ya know. lol See instructions below! https://www.theswoon.co/blog-1/the-importance-of-being-in-a-healthy-relationship monthly 0.5 2020-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfadc3ce725c134ada2b1a6/1588118293695-BY8VGEAELVXW3AXFQ1YH/Screen+Shot+2020-04-28+at+7.57.21+PM.png Blog - The Importance of Being In A Healthy Relationship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfadc3ce725c134ada2b1a6/1588127819212-W9QV3CLH13PGF5BYXZKT/IMG_3474.jpg Blog - The Importance of Being In A Healthy Relationship. - About me I am committed to helping anyone who wants to discover their supreme self.

When to add the ice: Just before serving, stir sangria again and pour into glasses over ice cubes. Fresh Fruit on hand: Have additional fresh fruit on hand to add to your sangria, so your not just serving soggy alcohol-soaked fruit. Spoon fruit into each glass before serving.

I’ve always been into natural remedies and improving my overall health in general. I was watching my favorite astrologer/ healer Monique Ruffin (The Moon Mama) and she shared that she drinks herbal infused water throughout the day to one, get her water intake and two, to get her daily intake of herbs and their nutrients as well as benefit from its spiritual aids. I’ve been using my french press to strain the herbs from the water but any tea strainer will do. I let the herbs seep for about 30 minutes, add it to a couple mason jars then refrigerate over night for the morning. You can drink with or without sweetener but personally I didn’t need any. I definitely feel the effects of each herb. They are refreshing, de-stressing, energizing and head clearing.

Coffee has many benefits and is not just for drinking! Caffeine found in coffee scrubs improves blood circulation, may reduce the appearance of cellulite and gives the skin a more even tone look. When a coffee body scrub is applied, the skin absorbs the antioxidant properties to prevent premature aging as well. After exfoliating on a regular basis, you will notice your skin is able to absorb moisture more effectively. This will stimulate blood flow, which can help diminish things like cellulite, stretch marks, and acne. Your skin will feel extra supple too. After a while, I feel like my skin is tighter. It is also so rejuvenating. The smell of the coffee literally wakes you up in the shower.

My vast musical rolodex is heavily influenced by my Jamaican heritage and experiences growing up in New York and South Florida as a real 90s-00s baby. Dubbed as the “Almanac” or “Jukebox” by family and friends, I became the go to person for discovering new music and creating nostalgic vibes with my extensive music library. Whether it was burning mixed CDs in high school or by special request to make a playlist for a long drive, it’s a warming feeling to know that people trust my ear and taste in music to curate the vibe and introduce new music into their lives. Currently living in my truth and honing in on my super power as the Mood Goddess, a curator, DJ and future producer, it is my duty to set the mood and enchant others with present- day and nostalgic sound waves! My inspiration when curating a playlist, literally depends on the mood that I am in and it translates with each song selection as the playlist progresses. When asked to do a collaboration with Swoon to curate a playlist for February, I knew the exact vibe! I wanted to make a playlist that was universal and expressive of the all different types of love. Self love, love of a partner and love of friendships. I selected songs and productions that were nostalgic to me and evoked a certain memory or feeling when hearing it. Check out my playlist series Mood God(ess) streaming on Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal! linktr.ee/moodgodess Follow me on IG @___chels_ & @moodgodess for all upcoming playlists and projects! https://www.theswoon.co/blog-1/exploring-arizona monthly 0.5 2020-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfadc3ce725c134ada2b1a6/1579140246317-EQKZDB5K16EY6V6R7XMD/a3.png Blog - Exploring Arizona with Style Pioneer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfadc3ce725c134ada2b1a6/1579140254397-CJW07B3BMNQGVGB3QNIJ/a4.png Blog - Exploring Arizona with Style Pioneer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfadc3ce725c134ada2b1a6/1579140357216-T0FZAFHXKUBBMKGXCYO4/a11.png Blog - Exploring Arizona with Style Pioneer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfadc3ce725c134ada2b1a6/1579140634140-GEANM79OE6M6L489HLQ1/a6.png Blog - Exploring Arizona with Style Pioneer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfadc3ce725c134ada2b1a6/1579142272665-BFFUTBPGMTVT1DMFDC35/IMG_0734+2.JPG Blog - Exploring Arizona with Style Pioneer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfadc3ce725c134ada2b1a6/1579140665250-FB7YA0I7T4ADSFVXMXEM/a8.png Blog - Exploring Arizona with Style Pioneer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfadc3ce725c134ada2b1a6/1580582265599-JC7F5C8383VTOSJ7EVSE/unnamed+%281%29.jpg Blog - Exploring Arizona with Style Pioneer. - About me My name is Chaya and I am a discoverer of life.

You can mix the powder with either apple cider vinegar or water. I like to use the ACV because I feel the vinegar gives it an extra kick. Keep on for about 20 minutes.

Repeat up to five rolls in each area. First roll along the neck then move outwards under the jawline, then out under the cheekbone, then along it. Roll along the nose and under eye next. Finally, roll flat along the brows, then upwards on the forehead. Im telling you your face will feel brand new after. You can keep your roller chilled in fridge, but it is usually stays cold naturally. Using an extra-chilled roller tightens pores, firms skin and wakes up a fatigued face at the end of a long day. https://www.theswoon.co/blog-1/8-reason-why-your-skin-loves-aloe-vera monthly 0.5 2020-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfadc3ce725c134ada2b1a6/1578015256519-XLPTC1HXNMG2EBDTC0U6/Fruit-of-The-Earth-Aloe-Vera-Gel-Review-2019-%E2%80%93-A-Sensational-Gel-with-Various-Health-Benefits.png Blog - 8 Reason Why Your Skin Will Love Aloe Vera. - The 8 Benefits… Anti Inflammation Anti Aging Heals Wounds Lightens Scars and Blemishes Treats Acne Soothes Sunburns Treats Stretch Marks Treats Dry Skin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfadc3ce725c134ada2b1a6/1578013693665-GDK7UTOK6HBL52Y4488P/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 8 Reason Why Your Skin Will Love Aloe Vera. - Aloe Vera Aloe vera has become one of my skins holy grails!
