Okay babes, it’s game time! The SEPHORA Holiday Savings Event is here! I literally can’t wait for this time of year — it’s the perfect time to stock up and save on all of my beauty favorites and even grab items I’ve been wanting to try. My favorite part is that it’s also right on […]

I’d say 100% of the time when I post a makeup video you babes wanna know what brush(es) I’m using. For me, just like when I’m cooking I need to have the right utensil to bring the dish together. Well it’s no different when applying makeup. No matter your skill level or how many products […]

Sponsored by: Sephora but all opinions are my own. Are they worth the Splurge? 100% YES! Starting with the NuFACE Trinity facial toning device... I love it so much it is my favorite beauty item to gift to all my friends and loved ones. I’ve gifted one to my BFF, my mom, my stepmom, and even [...]

I love BLUSH!! Seeing a dewy wash of color on my cheeks lifts me up. Growing up my Grandma always had a lil pop of color on her apple cheeks and let me tell you she was SO CUTE, oh my goodness!! I bet she felt the same way!!  I am obsessed with all the gorgeous […]

If you’ve purchased skincare lately, chances are you’ve seen brands touting products that “fight free radicals”. It sounds great, but what does that even mean? WTF are free radicals?  What are free radicals?  To answer that question, I’m about to go a bit science nerd on you (LOL) so bare with me. Our bodies are […]

I f*cking LOVE having a cute manicure. A chipped nail or a bad paint job seriously bums me out LOL. It wasn’t until the pandemic that I remembered how much I love doing my own nails!! You see, in my flight attendant days I had to get gel manicures simply for the fact that I […]

I recently got the “Curly Girl Haircut”aka Curl by Curl Haircut, and I’m sure some are wondering, Tennille what is that? Before I explain, I want to share that I have always worn my hair natural but I didn’t always know how to get my hair to its maximum potential. That all changed after discovering […]

OMG Babes!!! Can you believe that it’s TTL’s 6th year anniversary!?!? I still cannot believe that this is my reality, and it makes me so emotional to think how I went from being a single mom with no job to now running a successful business. Of course none of this would have been possible without […]

On the heels of my Instagram Live with Nutrafol & expert dermatologist Dr. Hope Mitchell where we discussed all things regarding hair thinning, I want to have a place for this important topic to live.  Not only for the benefit of my beloved TTL community, but for anyone out there struggling with thinning or shedding […]

Tell me if you can relate: “Oh wow, I have a pimple on my cheek.  Cool, let me put some spot treatment on it.  Couple days later – yayy that bugger is gone!!  THEN in its place is a not so cute dark spot where the pimple once was, lingering for days, weeks, months who […]

There are many rituals this skincare junkie has adopted over the years.  And I must say dermaplaning is the only one I was super skeptical about trying.  Even my daughters tried it before me!!  In my mind I was like, “am I gonna grow a beard??” Lord I would be the one!! What is Dermaplaning? […]

You darlings know that I am ALWAYS trying the latest and greatest products. I do my best to share my favorites on stories but thought it would be fun to have a permanent place for you to come take a look at the hot new products I’m trying or excited to try from the brands […]

Would you believe that I didn’t start a skincare routine until I was 32? I share this to say that if you’re a late skincare bloomer like me, all hope is not lost. As they say, “better late than never”. My biggest advice to anyone just getting started is to keep it simple yet consistent. […]

The choice to embrace your white hair is individual and there is no right or wrong in the journey or process. I want to share my journey to help anyone out there who might be struggling with the transition or has questions, as well as to share a few tips on caring for grey hair […]

When I was younger I used to feel so frustrated with my hair.  When I say younger I mean when I was like 36 or 37 lol! Most of my life I have been fighting my hair: fighting for definition, fighting the frizz, fighting for hydration, fighting for consistent results. Babes it has been a […]

Does one bishh need all these products??!!  If you’re asking ME then the answer is HELLSSS YEAH!! All year long I receive dozens and dozens of phenomenal products to try.  Not all of them make the cut but the ones that do have that extra something that stands above the rest. You see, for me […]

There are some skincare ingredients that have major street cred in the beauty world.  I would have to say Retinol is definitely head-of-the-class.  Be it in a serum, cream, mask, or even an eye cream, skincare enthusiasts swear by it.  BUT like why is retinol such a widely held must have ingredient in your skincare […]

Valentine’s day 2021 is the first one in nearly 10 years that I’m home.  I only mention that because FOR ME, if I waited for a special day on the calendar to celebrate my love for my husband, my daughters, or anyone in my life that would be really crappy and lousy.  I believe in [...]

Over here at TTL we started a tradition back in 2017, where we like to do a little NYE blog sharing my top beauty finds of the year.  Generally I share the empties because shucks, if the bottle is empty I MUST have enjoyed using the product.  This year I rifled through my large bag [...]

The results are in! I polled my curly hair family (May, Xia, & even my bff Carol) on their favorite hair products for winter curls, specifically our favorite conditioners and hair treatments. What I love is that just like our Curly Hair Routines we shared earlier this year, the results are all over the place. [...]

One of my all-time favorite Christmas traditions is the advent calendar. When I first started my career as a flight attendant, I remember the mom guilt of missing out on school events and holiday moments with my girls due to my travel. I started my advent calendar tradition to spoil my girls with holiday cheer [...]
