I had to reshare these pics for my makeup girlies ✨️ I love the look of rich, warm brown tones on deep skin.
The makeup tutorial will be up on my Shorts very soon.

Episode 3 is out! 🤎✨️
Growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness, most of us never planned for the future. We didn't care about an education or financial freedom. We were programmed to prioritize the religion.
When you leave... you quickly realize how intentional this programming was and how it holds you back from having agency over your life.
Don't be fooled: Education is essential. Financial independence is essential. Your freedom is essential.
In today's video, I unpack how exJWs can kickstart or rebuild their career after leaving a cult at any age.
You can watch the video here: https://youtu.be/TUbcIaxK01s?si=4mLr7...
Let us know what has helped you reclaim your life and build a career or business in the comments 😉

Unlearning modesty and purity culture is something all women need to unlearn.
Once you understand its true purpose in how high control religions use these ideologies to control, regulate and oppress you - you start to see the bigger picture of religion and its true purpose.
Let's chat about it!

Let's catch up ☕️
I'm kind of rebranding (not really). I started this channel creating #exJW content and most of my audience know me from that.
In this video I share why I stopped creating that type of content and the future of my channel 💕

Makeup tip ✨️
If you want to get better at makeup, start with a signature makeup look and do it over and over until you have perfected it.
Once you're confident, you can start experimenting with different makeup techniques, and you can always switch up a look with bolder eyeshadow colours and lip combos or even more colourful blush placements.
📝 share some tips that have helped you improve your makeup ✨️

The people asked, and I delivered. Over 50% of you wanted me to talk about decentering your mother.
And that's why there's a new video up tonight at 6 pm South African time where we'll be chatting about decentering your mother and choosing yourself.
Let me know what kind of content or other topics you want me to cover.
See you at 6 🤗

For our next video, I want us to go deeper while we still keep things light-hearted by including a makeup routine (that's if you want me to).
So let me know what topic you would want me to cover while doing my makeup with you.
Don't worry, a press on nail tutorial will be coming soon... just waiting on taking out my current set 😘
