Reward yourself is your right, not a luxury. Whether it’s after a long day of work or just a long morning at the gym, the act of treating yourself is important and should happen often. Whether it's an indulgent and luxurious wash day using some of your favorite SheaMoisture products or a calming bubble bath, self-care is what you make it! This collection is inspired by the recent (yet extremely needed) trend of indulging in the ‘soft life’. While we can all agree that self-care should be a deliberate act, these products by Black women will be key in helping you create the perfect routine to love on yourself.

I Stepped Out Of My Comfort Zone & Hosted A Journaling Meet-Up. Here's How It Went

Last year, I began my journey with journaling, and it has quickly become one of my favorite self-care practices. It started with reading Calling In The One, a book about manifesting love in your life.

At the end of each chapter were exercises, and the majority of those exercises required you to journal. I took it seriously because your girl wants a loving, healthy relationship in 2025. But while I finished the book, I still held on to the practice of journaling.

Journaling has not only allowed me to get my feelings out on paper, but it has also made me think deeper about situations and see other perspectives. For example, I may write about how I feel someone hurt me, and as I'm writing, I may realize some of my faults in the situation, thus forgiving that person or giving that person grace.

Everything You Need To Do Today To Enjoy Your Future PTO In Peace

Being a 9-to-5 powerhouse has its perks, from stable benefits to consistent schedules to great opportunities for professional development, but one thing you're not going to do this year is neglect the use of that paid time off (PTO).

While it might seem like a popular narrative on social to quit a job and live life freely traveling the world (or doing nothing), there's absolutely no shame in loving the practice of going into an office three to five days a week, getting that bi-weekly notification that your direct deposit hit your account, and enjoying multiple stints of PTO throughout the year.

10 Life-Changing Intentions That Will Help You Lead A Fuller, More Purposed Life

If you were to ask another person or even yourself what a full life means, you would probably get a million different answers. As for me, I used to think that a full life just consisted of a life with a lot of material things. You know the six-figure salary, designer bags, shoes, and cars. But as I grow and evolve, I realize that a full life to me is more than that. I think we all can agree that a life where we are happy, fulfilled, loved, and have no regrets is the ultimate goal.

I recognize that if I am happy and live life with no regrets, those other things like my dream job, dream closet, and dream man will undoubtedly come too. For example, I'm shown time and time again that if I practice gratitude for what I already have, I am constantly blessed with more.

Celebrity Hairstylist Cliff Vmir On Social Media Success & How To Pivot Following Looming TikTok Ban

It’s the year 2025, newspaper ads, radio ads, billboards, posters - OUT. And you know what’s in? Social media. I mean, this clearly isn’t just a 2025 thing, but have you ever sat back and thought about the unprecedented rise of the “social media influencer?” Gone are the days when the marketing we relied on came from traditional sources. Everyday people have become some of the best marketers in today’s world.

You could even say, personality is the best marketing tool of today. xoNecole caught up with celebrity hairstylist and CEO of haircare line FEMMÉ, Cliff Vmir, who was ahead of the game as one of the first entrepreneurs to successfully use social media to promote his business.

Why I Decided To Have A Journaling Meet-Up

The Process

What I Learned

Let’s make things inbox official! Sign up for the xoNecole newsletter for love, wellness, career, and exclusive content delivered straight to your inbox.

1. If you're about to accept a job offer, ask about expanded PTO even if the company's policy is strict about not negotiating it.

2. If you're already employed, put in your PTO requests early (at least 90 days in advance if possible.)

Sometimes schedules can be amended or a bit more flexible when your manager already knows you've made a request long ago and was diligent about it.

3. Schedule PTO around the paid holiday closure policies of your company.

4. Be more diligent with your time management, productivity, and setting boundaries.

Set up systems where you're spending your time wisely before your PTO kicks in versus indulging in workplace time-wasters, manually responding to common inquiries (Hello, use AI!), or neglecting to automate and delegate the parts of your job that should be.

5. Create cultures of family and friend support when it comes to how you use your PTO.

Diaper Rash on Your Face Even Has a Name: Face Basting

Why Face Basting Is Better than Face Slugging

Face basting is about letting diaper rash cream soak into your skin for a significant amount of time. Face slugging is when you substitute the cream for a thick ointment like Vaseline or Aquaphor.
