Think about buying these things next time you're at Walmart. It is not something that you necessarily need for survival, but it is something you need to survive the results of your mid-terms and your family for this Holiday season break. I will also include/recommend my favorite products and how much they each cost on average. Everything, in the name of self-care.
(They are not really in any order.)
Shampoo (umm... hello?):Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo by Shea Moisture, $8
Conditioner (I use this like my life depends on it LOL):Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner by Shea Moisture, $11
Body Scrub (walk out the shower feeling fresh AF): Sugar Crush Body Scrub by Soap & Glory, $15
I don't really use body spray; they give me headaches, especially the cheap ones.
Body Lotion (I use lotion religiously, especially cocoa butter lotion): Palmer's Coca Butter Formula Lotion, $5
I've never bought/used bath bombs to this day... oops.
I don't even use shower gel TBH. I use body wash/scrub.
Moisturizer (for face and/or body... yeessss):Aveeno Daily Face Moisturizer, $8
Lip Scrub (cause you can't be flexing with crusty lips):Carmex Lip Balm, $1
I don't really use perfume—only Chanel, literally.
Lip Gloss (I have one in my book bag, purse, and wallet, yes):Kiss Broadway Clear Lip, $1 (local beauty supply store)
Lotion (I carry it everywhere, especially the travel-size!): Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion, $5
Cleanser (let's get this face clear this year!): Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser, $7
Toner (can't miss this step!): Thayer's Witch Hazel Toner, $7
For Vitamins, because who has time to actually keep up with these, just eat the gummies, even though they don't offer the same benefits, I would recommend consulting your own physician.
More lip balm—yes, again, you can't be having crusty lips!
For hair ties, I'm always losing and/or breaking the back-ups of the back-ups, but I haven't found ones that haven't let me down LOL.
Scrunchies (I just started getting into these and they're cute):Forever 21 Scrunchies, $3.90 or $2.90 each
Face Mask (I love these and they make me feel rich AF): YesTo Masks, about $3 each
I've never used a hair mask before TBH.
For coconut oil, I only ever use the one that is imported from Mexico that weirdly smells like popcorn and those winter days in Mexico.
I've never used edge control, but my niece swears by it.
Hoop Earrings (I only ever get mine from Beauty World, or your local beauty supply store): About $1 or $2 per pair
Rings I also only get from my local beauty supply store.
Acrylic Nails (Kiss Nails, fave nail polish color, top coat, scissors, and nail file—and you're already a baddie on a budget): Less than $20
And facial oil, I don't recommend it for my oily skin babes—like me.
That's all folk! Until next time, babes!
Everything, in the name of self-care.
Hey guys! So in case you didn’t notice, I am new to Vocal. I am excited to embark on this new journey, especially with you guys, a new community. My name is Yaire, I am 17 years old and I am from North Carolina. I am a Chicanx and I graduate from high school this year. #Classof2k19 #SEN19RSZN I will not only talk about things beauty, but also lifestyle, health, and maybe even a little bit of journaling here and there. But you won’t know unless you follow or check back every Monday, Thursday, and Friday, since those are the days that I am planning on uploading something—or whenever I can, since I am a high school/college student and I also have a part-time job.

to be successful when dating your girlfriend
To have a perfect date, first you need to determine a date time that suits the two of you. Therefore, you need to ask her about a suitable date and time, so you can set a time to meet, bringing a feeling of comfort to both parties. The first date always leaves a special feeling in the hearts of the people involved. Therefore, you should plan in detail to create an unforgettable impression in the beauty's heart. You don't necessarily have to spend a lot of money to hire a private band of musicians, or take her to luxurious and expensive places, just a romantic meal together at the park or something. It's so sweet that she's never done it before... Surely, she will always remember this impressive date. If you and she had a successful first date, continue planning the next date. Because this is necessary to let her understand that you are very interested in her. However, when showing interest, you should not show too much emotion because it can make her feel suffocated. Even if you and she have had interesting dates, that doesn't mean you should stop keeping in touch with her. This will make her think that you no longer care about her.Therefore, you need to continue to keep in touch to let her understand that you are still there and still care about her every day. Girls often don't like just listening to you talk about yourself without mentioning anything related to them. Because that proves that you are selfish and don't care about their thoughts. Therefore, you need to create a balance between questions and answers between the two of you throughout the conversation.You can ask questions about her life, hobbies, work... and share information with each other. During your daily conversations, you should keep in mind the likes and dislikes she has shared with you. If she mentions that she doesn't like seafood dishes, it's best not to date her at restaurants that specialize in seafood. Through this, she will know that you always listen and understand her.Chivalry and "gallantry" in behavior are always appreciated by girls in a man. Therefore, you should be polite, caring and do the best for the woman you want to create a long-term relationship with. Honesty and kindness are always good qualities that girls want in a boyfriend. Therefore, please respect, cherish and always help her when she needs you. There's nothing worse than when a girl thinks things are going well between them and you, but then you "disappear" without saying goodbye. This is the worst thing and unintentionally lowers your self-worth. Therefore, you should behave like a grown man.If you no longer have feelings for her then politely and gently tell her, give her that respect, because she deserves it Sometimes girls can feel uncertain about your feelings for them. Therefore, they would love to hear you remind and confirm your feelings for her once again.You don't have to repeat it 24/7 because it can make her feel bored and suffocated. But, if she doesn't listen to your reassurances, she may feel insecure about your feelings. Another bad thing that girls often encounter is not being able to predict a man's behavior. Therefore, you should not say one thing and do another, but always be consistent between your words and actions, that will make girls always respect you.

First Starlight of Summer
Your whole being is constituted by yearning. You miss the stars but have never seen a fully-realized night sky sparkle to life before your eyes. You write things, funny but short but profound, emulating the archaic cosmos that turns by its own unknowable calculus emulating love in all its celestial glory turning in that same cryptic way, but fully know neither and hardly know both, and it feels disingenuous, so you write about writers. It feels vaguely masturbatory, but it’s funny but short but profound and it impresses the people around you enough, so you run with it forever until you can’t anymore.
