Advice on Fashion, Beauty, Fitness, Home Décor & DIY

Your Ultimate DIY Graduation Party Ideas & Checklist

March 11, 2018 · Decor/Craft DIY, Holidays, Home Décor

It’s getting closer and closer to graduation time where you have to start planning for your party, makeup and hair looks, outfit and everything else in between.

One of my family members had hers done last year and it was an all-white theme which was gorgeous , but pity it cost so much money. Obviously, if you’re here today, it’s because you don’t want to drop thousands on a party especially if the next step in your life is university/college/grad school where tuition fees are killer. Fancy doesn’t mean expensive, especially not in my world. In true The Wardrobe Stylist fashion, much of what’s below is an easy DIY project away.

With the pandemic increasing, demand for health an With the pandemic increasing, demand for health and wellness products, bath and body care are becoming more popular. 

@cleanlogic products have anti-microbial protection to prevent growth of bacteria 🦠 or mold. 

I’ve tried the dual texture exfoliating body scrubber 🧽 , facial pads with an exfoliating side and a microfiber side to remove makeup, and the detox purifying charcoal body scrubber. 

They’re made with clean ingredients, have recyclable packaging, are cruelty free and contain Braille to help the visually impaired read their labels. In  addition, a portion of the proceeds go towards blind and visually impaired charities.

Give it a try!

Tomorrow’s our last day in 2020. So happy new ye Tomorrow’s our last day in 2020. So happy new year 🎆 early! It has been an interesting year 🧐, not just the pandemic, but personally, growth, challenges and several new beginnings. It has also made me realize how important it is to inform people about the suffering of others, even if it’s not a niche I specialize in as a blogger/micro-influencer. Passing the message onto the rest of us is what may help their plight to gain human rights, improve their living conditions, live safely  without fear, or get them access to help. On that note, may 2021 bring on better days for all!

What are you looking forward to in 2021?
