Quantcast
The Guilt-Free Pleasure Collection


Life is overwhelming at times, and when they are - it's time to turn inward. Our homes, clothes, and personal finances aren't nearly as important as our health and wellness. One of the most valuable lessons learned from last year was the importance of taking care of yourself. Whether it's your mind, your immune system, or what you're putting into your body, the emphasis on wellness is at the forefront.

It can be a sweet treat, a nice cocktail, or a CDB gummy; whatever helps you get through, we approve. Below is a wonderfully curated list of health, wellness, and food brands that will continue your #blackgirlglow all summer long.

GLOW Luminous Facial Serum

The GLOW Luminous Facial Serum is a lightweight, hydrating, and high potency face oil that is a must-have this season. On many wishlists of your favorite influencers, this serum can be used on fresh skin or as the last step to your skincare routine.

How do I know? Well, aside from the fact that some people in my own world are hooked on it, it’s also been reported that as many as 27 percent of Americans rely on this particular supplement to catch themselves some nightly zzz’s.

Why The Cayman Islands Is The Ideal Soft-Life Island-Hopping Destination

It's always a pleasure to add a new stamp to the passport, especially when it's an opportunity to visit a country you've never been to. When invited to explore the Cayman Islands, I was very familiar with Grand Cayman—the largest among the three islands, known for its stunning clear-blue beaches, and modern city comforts—but I seriously slept on Cayman Brac.

On a six-day trip, I knew Grand Cayman would be that girl, but the smaller sister island Cayman Brac? She’s the captivating, low-key spot that is a whole soft-life fantasy.

8 Holiday-Themed Scents That Will Seriously Intensify Your Sex Life

If there is one thing that I am going to do, it’s buy myself some scented soy candles. And, as I was looking at a display of them in a TJ Maxx store a couple of weekends ago, I found myself wondering just who decided which scents were considered to be “holiday” ones. The origin stories are actually pretty layered, so, for now, I’ll just share a few of ‘em.
