Self Care Coka

It’s been a sweaty summer and I refuse to let my scalp feel the heat! If you workout or just sweat from your head often in general, K18 Hair AirWash is a must for protective styles. My scalp smells when sweat sits on it for too long so I refresh my scalp with this after workouts and it’s back to feeling fresh and clean 🫧

Using Bondi Sands | Self Tan + Suncare Ultra Dark Tinted Mousse applying with a real techniques angled kabuki brush

Let me know if you want the tutorial 🤭 self tanner on brown skin is so undetectable, don’t be scared of a little faux glow✨

I used Bondi Sands | Self Tan + Suncare ultra dark tinted self tan mousse for this bronze

Coily girls, don’t be afraid of a gloss rinse! My post braids blowout came out absolutely gorgeous after I used the Playa Nuevasol Fragrance Depositing Gloss Rinse. Helped my hair detangle way faster and left my hair sooo smooth and soft 🙂‍↕️ Your hair will genuinely smell like perfume (notes of bergamont, coconut milk, vanilla, sandalwood & musk) so make sure you like that 😂.

It uses lactic acid & red algae to give the hair condition and shine which makes sense because those ingredients do the same thing for your skin.

If you wear braids, locs, any protective style and you sweat — follow this guide!

Step 1 - Dry Shampoo, K18 Hair is my favorite. No white cast, it leaves your scalp feeling lighter and gets rid of the sweat smell quickly without needing a lot of product.

Step 2 - Add Moisture Back to Your Scalp, The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum has my hair looking SO healthy when I take my braids down. My edges have definitely grown since I’ve used it consistently.

Step 3 - Hair Perfume, just for a lil razzle dazzle I mist Playa Nuevasol All Over Hair + Body Mist throughout the ends of my hair. I loveeee the scent profile it’s unisex and sultry. Notes of bergamont, jasmine, vanilla & sandalwood.

I’m only human 😭 do as I say, not as I do after 2 lychee martinis and a stressful Love Island episode

My weekly workout split 🏋🏾‍♀️ why choose between a gym body & a pilates body when you can have both 🤭

Pilates & solidcore has taught me engage my core when I lift so much better, I have way deeper depth in my lifts than I did before. Yoga has helped my muscles relax and loosened my hips after a week of heavy lifting.

My drug of choice for cardio is always gonna be a 1-2 mile run before I lift, I try not to overdo it so I don’t tire myself out but do enough to get that cardiovascular health in.

I take 2 days to fully rest where I’ll just prioritize getting my steps in and foam rolling or stretching at home✨

My current summertime daytime skincare routine to prep my skin before I put on makeup ☀️

1. rhode skin Glazing Mist to add hydration
2. TATCHA Beauty Longevity Serum to plump my skin
3 Youth To The People Youthscreen SPF 60 for lightweight sun protection

Let your SPF fully dry before you put on makeup so you get the full protection! I like to slick my edges and put my brow gel on while I wait for my skincare to dry.

A SUPER easy dry shampoo for you to use to freshen your scalp with braids/protective styles! K18 Hair Air Wash Dry Shampoo is perfect for summertime sweat.

Who else is watching Real Housewives of Rhode Island? I’m obsessed with Alicia Carmody 😭😂
