For some time now, I had a lot of curiosity about this technique and what it claimed to do. I figured it was only for skin exfoliation but little did I know that dry brushing can be even beneficial to your health.

For the past months, I've been noticing a bit of dryness on the skin to the point I would use so much lotion, I thought maybe I wasn't using one that was very emollient. I started to read up about dry brushing and decided to purchase this one from Amazon since I had no luck finding the right one in town for this task.

I started to do this a few times a week prior shower for about 5 minutes each time. So what you want to do is go by sections in circular motion applying some pressure. At first I was concerned if it was going to be harsh but other than a minor redness, it dissipates right away.

What is Dry Brushing?

Dry brushing was practiced as part of the ancient medicine system Ayurveda in India. Known as Garshana, which translates from Sanskrit as “to rub,” this practice involves using a bristle brush or gloves over the entire body in order to help stimulate lymph flow, improve detox, exfoliate, and increase circulation.

What are the Benefits of Dry Brushing? 

  1. Helps detox our skin from toxins
  2. Improve appearance of cellulite
  3. Reduce stress
  4. Stimulate lymphatic system
  5. Exfoliate skin
  6. Improve circulation

After a month of use I can see such an amazing difference, I compliment the brushing after bathing with a dry oil by Doctor Spa with olive oil and coconut which has improved the look and feel of my skin. It's softer, more radiant and I almost feel like the skin around my stomach looks more toned lately.

I also love doing this weekly because it sorta relaxes me, like more blood flow throughout the body. I can't rave enough about this.

I don't know what it is about purple that just gives me these futuristic vibes. Pantone's 2022 color of the year is called Very Peri and I think it suits this year as we are each day one more step ahead into the future.

From NFTs, Metaverse and Cryptocurrency, there's no doubt in my mind we are finally setting foundation for the world of technology.

Ever since I was a teenager my skin has undergone certain skin treatments to keep mild acne in check as well as some residual scars from chickenpox. I must admit the whole scarring part made me quite self conscious because I used to have the most flawless skin but thankfully that was a phase I have already outgrown. Nevertheless, I enjoy taking care of my skin as I can still be prone to breakout specially now with this new rules of wearing facial masks in public due to COVID. 

I have tried a wide array of skin care products and treatments but ever since I heard about the Hollywood Laser Peel I knew it was something I wanted to try, specially when I saw such great results on acne-prone skin.

As of right now, my skin has shown amazing improvement and all thanks to wearing sunblock, getting weekly exfoliation and using skin products that work as well as choosing the right make-up products. So, getting this laser was something I considered to improve skin texture, tone and keep my skin fresh.

This treatment is ideal also for people looking to:
  • Smooth fine lines
  • Correct hyperpigmentation
  • Reduce the look of pores
  • Add luminosity to the skin
The Hollywood Laser Peel is a kinder, gentler version of many other laser treatments. It’s safe for all skin types, can be performed any time of the year, and doesn’t have the long downtime some laser procedures require. Speak to your dermatologist or aesthetician for the amount of treatments you'll need to achieve optimal results.


I had mine done a few weeks ago, and right the same day I noticed an immediate radiance on the skin. The next day, I expected some redness or some sort of reaction to the skin as you could normally expect from getting laser but to my surprise this wasn't the case. 

The texture of my skin has become smoother and I have not experienced any sort of breakout which is incredible. My makeup applies much smoother and it just looks airbrushed. 


I'm very pleased with my first experience, my aesthetician recommended 2 more sessions as my skin isn't as problematic anymore to achieve even better results. Depending on your skin concerns the amount of treatments may vary so keep that in mind. 

I will update with a Part 2 to this post to update you about my next two treatments but so far so good.
Investing on yourself is the best investment and this is without a doubt something you want to try. =)

I remember back in the day when I was a young girl, my mom used to dress me and my sister up in these ugly looking corduroy wide legged jeans. Aside from the color, I just really hated the way they looked on me... I DESPISED them. The trauma of wearing that style has always stayed with me to the point I rarely consider wearing them as an adult.

But... I gave in! Well, I actually didn't buy them, they were gifted to me. 

It's been a long while peeps... I know... Sometimes you just get caught up living that you forget about those little things that set your heart on fire.  

I hope I can update this page every now and then. I have really missed the habit of grabbing my laptop, writing and selecting photos of my favorite looks and sharing them with all of you. =)

I would like to thank everyone who still follows me on Instagram. As of recently I discovered Facebook took my page down perhaps due to inactivity, so I have created a new one where I will be sharing all the new posts and updates.

Aquí les dejo este pequeño video de mi primera vez probando el cepillo de @revlonhairtools One-Step Dryer. Lo cierto es que no sabía que esperar ya que sólo veía chicas con el cabello fino usarlo y no creia que iba hacer mucho por un cabello grueso rizado. Hace un buen trabajo en dar cuerpo y volumen al cabello pero recomiendo ir en pequeñas cantidades ya que así podrás suavizar la raíz del cabello mejor. Creo que esa fue la parte más difícil para mí porque ahora mismo no llevo ningún químico y hay bastante humedad últimamente pero si tu cabello no es tan rebelde el resultado será incluso más positivo. Si quieres que tu cabello quede con volumen, este cepillo es para ti. Si te gusta tu cabello súper sleek y tu cabello es como el mío vas a tener que retocar un poco con la plancha después de acabar. Lo más importante a recordar es usarlo en cabello húmedo no mojado. Mi cabello estaba 50-60% seco y apliqué un protector termal. Usé un laciador de Keratina aunque la próxima me gustaría probarlo con una cera. ¡APROBADO! Ya no tienes excusa para andar desgreñada en la cuarentena. 🙋🏻‍♀️💗 #revlon #revlononestephairdryerandstyler
A post shared by Katiuska Núñez 🇩🇴 (@katy009fashion) on May 5, 2020 at 2:08pm PDT

Greeting from quarantine! Woah! I haven't updated this blog in quite sometime! One thing is for sure, 2020 has been a roller coaster ride for all of us with this Coronavirus pandemic. The world will certainly be different after this, but they say that intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. We just gotta make the best of it.

Today, for my comeback post, I wanted to review this Revlon One-Step Hair Dyer & Volumizer Brush that has been going viral and I wanted to put it to the test on my coarse, curly hair. I had only seen people with straight hair using this and very few with curly hair, I wasn't really convinced this did what it says it does.

I washed my hair and applied a keratin based heat protectant spray called Keratinex, and then proceeded to grab hair by sections to ensure the brush reached the root of the hair. I had some issues with this at the beginning but as I kept going it went a little smoother. One of the most important things about using this brush is to not use directly on wet hair. I recommend letting dry at least 50-60 percent and grab smaller sections.

It took me a little while to get through all my hair, I'm not going to lie I got a little exhausted because I have a crazy amount of hair. After finishing, my hair felt silky smooth and voluminous and quite straight which I was impressed by because I didn't expect it to be as good. I will probably go over with my flat iron on the roots in some areas that weren't smoothed out as I'd prefer but other than that the brush is solid.

I totally recommend it, specially now during lockdown since hair salons aren't operating. Once you get the hang of it you will love it just make sure to use heat protection and not over use it. I hope you guys enjoyed this little review. Stay safe everyone!

As a Dominican Woman, I feel the strong need to take such a good care of my hair. We Dominicans are definitely known for our ways of taking care of our locks, and truth be told we are slightly obsessed. If you don't believe it go to a Dominican hair salon so you can get a taste of what I'm talking about.

To give you a little context of my hair, I have curly/wavy hair which I blow dry and flat iron every week or every two weeks. I also apply semi-permanent hair color or deposit only color (Cellophane) with no ammonia just to enhance my hair. My current hair status involves a lot of frizz specially at the root which gets activated with humidity so it means when I get it done, heat is definitely my best friend as it tames the hair down. 

Anyways, I'm always on the hunt for hair products that enhance my hair or prevent catastrophes and I take my time and do lots of research before take a plunge on buying to avoid unnecessary stuff. So, I've been hearing a lot this amazing product called Olaplex Hair Perfector No.3 and decided to give it whirl. 

At the beginning I thought it was only for people who dyed their hair blonde and are prone to a lot of hair problems but as I kept researching, I found out this products is basically for anyone who colors their hair or is exposed to chemicals. Additionally, it prolongs hair color while helping improve hair texture, protect, strengthen and address damaged hair.

Even though my hair isn't damaged or anything like that I love an intense blue black hair or just a very rich jet black which tends to wear off quite fast for me. I have used this product for a month and I can say I have seen such an improvement I didn't believe possible. I had colored my hair back in August and is now November and there are no signs of brassiness which I tend to get sometimes as the color wears off. In addition to that, my hair feels softer and with more body and an amazing shine. 

Have you tried Olaplex yet? What are your thoughts? 

PS: This product will be part of Sephora's VIB Holiday Sale!
