xoNecole And Ulta Beauty Launch "Beautiful Soul" — A 'GRWM' Series All About Self-Care


This article is in partnership with Ulta Beauty.

I don't know about you, but I relish in any moment I'm able to squeeze in a little self-care action. I'm not above popping on an eye mask during a flight or even booking a quick massage in between a day full of errands. When you're booked and busy, the ability to pamper yourself is a luxury that feels all too precious. But what if I told you that self-care is more than just skin deep? As a matter of fact, here at xoNecole, we believe self-care is also soul care. In order to have the motivation to take care of your external self, you must first be rooted in the belief that you are worthy and deserving of looking your best and having your cup full.


And guess what? We're not alone in that belief. In partnership with Ulta Beauty, xoNecole is pleased to bring you "Beautiful Soul." In this six episodes series, our founder Necole Kane will be hosting a "get ready with me" style interview with six of her favorite influencers while they walk us through some of their most cherished beauty routines. These millennial mavens will also be spilling the tea on their favorite hair, makeup, and skincare products (no gatekeeping over here!) that helped them pull off the look.

Beautiful, right? Here's where the soul care comes in. xoNecole and Ulta Beauty wanted to go deeper by elevating, celebrating, and affirming the influence underrepresented voices bring to the beauty industry. With "Beautiful Soul", we're encouraging each other to take off the superwoman cape and finally realize that we, too, deserve to reinvigorate ourselves in carefree moments with and for ourselves. In this series, Necole and each influencer will be engaging in girl-chats that go deep about the barriers to self-care that can hinder us from prioritizing ourselves. Whether it's a lack of time, lack of balance, or fear of how we'll be perceived by the outside world, many things can stand in the way. Each of these boss women will share how they overcame these barriers and learned to indulge in their rest, pleasure, enjoyment through self-care, while standing firm in the belief that they're worth it.

Through this series, we hope you walk away feeling inspired to carve out a little bit more time to replenish your mind, body, and spirit through beauty and self-care. Whether that means taking an extra five minutes in the shower to test out a new face wash and body scrub, or canceling your Saturday plans to luxuriate with a nice long bubble bath, there's no better time to take care of you in every way possible, sis!

Thirsty African American Woman Drinking Water From Glass In Kitchen At Home, Young Black Female Standing Near Counter And Enjoying Heathy Refreshing Drink, Side View With Copy Space

I’ll be honest — I wish that I had a better (and by “better,” what I mean is more consistent) relationship with water. As I’ve shared a few times before, the main reason why I don’t consume as much of it as I should is because it’s just so…boring. More specifically, to me, it tastes like wet air.

That doesn’t mean I’m not fully aware that I need it in my system, though. And that is why I’ve found a fairly good workaround: either sparkling water or mineral water; to me, they just seem more “exciting”…although, as I will explain different article on bloating, I have had to accept that any kind of carbonation can create a bit more of a tummy bulge than I would like for time to time. Man, you live long enough and you really do come to fully accept that very few things come without at least a couple of “cons.”

During my 25 years of being a full-time writer, I’ve definitely penned for a few hair magazines and websites before. One time, I remember being asked to cover what might appear to be a really random question — and yet, if you stop to really ponder it, it’s one that has crossed many Black women’s minds: “If I’m going to wear my natural hair, when’s the best time of year to do that and if I’m going to relax it, when should I do that?”
