Boundless beauty…

Boundless beauty (Bb) is a state of mind. It’s the belief that age is just a number, rules are meant to be broken, and you don’t need to live and look a certain way to please others – it comes when you are in tune with your truest self. As much as I want this blog to help others gain more confidence and feel beautiful, that will only come once you are comfortable in your own skin. It’s taken me years to get to this state of mind, and I’ll admit: it’s not easy to stay in this mental place, but it’s a path of self love that’s totally worth pursuing. I hope Bb can be a part of your journey.

  • #ShelfieSunday check-in: my skincare + haircare stash (swipe 👉🏻)⠀ ⠀ Since my last #shelfie post, I’ve made a few subtle changes:⠀ • switched up the samples/deluxe samples I’m trying out all the way to the right on top shelf⠀ • I’ve reshuffled some items from under the sink to first shelf b/c if Idk I own something how am I gonna know to use it?⠀ • overall, just trying to be more conscious of what I own and do/do not gravitate towards using (I.e. hair products 😣 I’ve bought so many and use so few b/c of annoying textures, stiffness, or added weight they may impart on my hair...or again, living in my fantasy world inside my head - I own a blow dryer and heat protecting spray but have never used it in the 8-9yrs I’ve had it 🤦🏼‍♀️)⠀ ⠀ Photo 1: bathroom medicine cabinet #topshelfie⠀ Photo 2: #showershelfie ⠀ Photo 3: under the sink stash⠀ ^^this was just the bathroom 😅 I’ll be posting later this week with my vanity / actual makeup stash⠀ ⠀ #2020 #2020lowbuy #lowbuy #nobuy #ownless #usewhatyouhave #buylesschoosewell #skincare #haircare #haircareroutine #gentleformula #fragrancefreeskincare #cleanbeauty #skincareroutine #skincarecommunity #skincareshelf #bathroomcabinet #sensitiveskin #sensitiveskinjourney #sundayshelfie #sheetmask #aha #yttp #herbivorebotanicals #igkhair
  • Buns, braids, pony tails - how do you hide your dirty hair? 🙈⠀ ⠀ Swipe for my other fixes, all sans dry shampoo b/c that’s been drying out my scalp way too much lately 😬⠀ ⠀ Here in first pic: No foundation, just done up eyes and cheeks with a white tee and faded black jeans #fridayuniform #casualfriday⠀ ⠀ #fridayfeels #dirtyhairdontcare #naturalmakeup #minimalmakeup #foundationfree #whiteteeandjeans #begentlewithyourself #bekindtoyourself #recoveringperfectionist #dirtyhair #normalizeskintexture
  • This was my crutch for far too long. Cheers to making healthier (and financially smarter) stress relief habits 🤘🏻👊🏻🤑⠀ ⠀ Have you ever found yourself doing this?⠀ ⠀ I wouldn’t always buy, but a lot of my free time was spent “just browsing” - endless scrolling through websites and apps “just to see what’s new” 🤦🏼‍♀️ when i was really stressed, mentally overwhelmed, it was trying to mentally avoid a difficult situation in my life that needed addressing. ⠀ ⠀ I lost so much spare time I could’ve spent on other more creative endeavors, and so much wasted money and carbon emissions from shipping to me and shipping back returns. 2020 is a new leaf and new guidelines for myself: only shop if you truly “need” something - and exhaust every effort to try and buy in store vs having shipped to me.⠀ ⠀ #thursdaythoughts #oniochalasia #admittingisthefirststep #betterspendinghabits #shoppingrehab #shoppingaddict #onlineshoppingaddict #makeuprehab #2020lowbuy #nobuy #putthephonedown #carbonfootprint #shopinperson #financiallyresponsible #financialgoals #financialpeace #createdontconsume
  • Borrowed from the boys 🤘🏻👻⠀ ⠀ Want to dress up a t-shirt and jeans? Throw a blazer on. Want to add a little something to an all-black outfit? Throw a blazer on. Oversized, single-button, double-breasted - I 🖤 blazers 😜⠀ ⠀ ...another trend from my “Previous Outfit Reference” album. Context: For the past few years I’ve kept an album on my phone titled “Previous Outfit Reference” and it literally is an album of mirror selfies documenting my favorite closet pairings. Biggest reason I started doing this was to make my mornings easier and spend less time blankly staring into my closet struggling to think of an outfit. This way, I’d have a visual reference of outfits I did or didn’t like - and over time it helped me hone in on my shopping preferences. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ 80% of my outfits are skinny jeans / top / blazer or “3rd piece”, and a good 75% of my wardrobe is black 🖤 it’s helped me shop smarter and be more realistic instead of idealistic and stop shopping for the fantasy outfits I have in my head.⠀⠀ ⠀ # 1 - @zara blazer, @cuyana tee, @aritzia The Denim Forum Yoko jeans, @paulsmith booties (made possible by @wcpremoutlets prices 🙌🏼)⠀ ⠀ # 2 - #vintage Gucci blazer (by far my most cherished #nycthrifting find), old @bananarepublic white pussy bow blouse, @paige black skinny jeans, same Paul Smith booties⠀ ⠀ # 3 - @mango blazer, same Cuyana black tee, @ysl lipstick print scarf 💄, same Paige black skinny jeans, @thefryecompany Dara Chelsea boot⠀ ⠀ #wearwhatyouhave #shopyourcloset #buylesschoosewell #fewerbetter #ootd #buyless #neutralstyle #neutrals #neutral #neutraltones #outfitrepeater #easystyle #outfitdiary #stylepost #wiwtoday #wardrobewednesday #personalstyle #styleselfie #skinnyjeans #blackisthenewblack #minimaliststyle #effortlesschic #outfitdiaries #mystylediary #imwearing #outfitselfie #wardrobebasics
  • Beauty light vs Hallway light 😂 have you ever been heavier handed than you realized b/c of your vanity lighting? ⠀ ⠀ Gotta be so careful not to overdo things in the beauty light - I’ll be looking all sorts of harsh in daylight 😅 ⠀ ⠀ @cloveandhallow Concealer ⠀ @juicebeauty Flawless Serum Foundation in Cream⠀ @coverfx bronzer and blush⠀ @natashadenona #Safaripalette⠀ @glossier Boy Brow in Blonde⠀ @jeffreestarcosmetics highlight in #Sarcophagus⠀ @rimmel Scandaleyes mascara⠀ @marcjacobsbeauty lip gloss⠀ ⠀ #datenightmakeup #brownsmokeyeye #glow #rimmel #mascara #safaripalette #glossier #boybrow #naturalbrows #talcfree #talcfreebeauty #monochromaticblush #juicebeauty #serumfoundation #skinfrost #jeffreestarcosmetics #natashadenona #nofilter #softmakeup #lowbuy #usewhatyouhave #normalizeskintexture #lightingiseverything
  • ✨ Fellow highlighter addicts, what is your all time favorite + one you’ll never re-buy? ✨ ⠀ ⠀ I’ll go first 🙋🏼‍♀️ favorite: @jeffreestarcosmetics in Uranus or @meltcosmetics in Stargazer / never re-buying: @hourglasscosmetics highlights in any color. Note: I love a pretty pronounced highlight that blends beautifully...I 🖤 hourglass for other things, but their highlighters are too subtle for my taste atm👩🏼‍🎤⠀ ⠀ Originally posted by @flex / photo by @carlota_guerrero and I f#%!ing loved the image, but I was torn over reposting this or not. On one hand, I loved the full glitter body paint and embracing nudity, on the other I really don’t want to be promoting ultra thinness (from my own past of disordered eating and moving away from unhealthy ideals). However you choose to interpret the image, please #celebratedontcompare⠀ ⠀ #glitter #bodypaint #monday #allthatglitters #mondaymakeup #makeupmonday #mondaymorning #highlighter #share #whatsyourfavorite #input #liquidhighlighter #powderhighlighter #highlighteronfleek #highlighteraddict #allthatglittersisntgold #makeuprehab #freethenipple #nsfw
  • Healing is a continuous process 💕⠀ ⠀ Originally posted by @femalecollective and needed to echo these sentiments. #fallinlovewithyourself⠀ ⠀ I’ve struggled a lot recently with the concepts of self love + positive body image + letting go. Through therapy and self reflection I’ve been able to pinpoint some of the sources of pain / where some of my behaviors have stemmed from, but truly healing from those wounds, warped perceptions, and triggers are a bit more challenging when they’ve been your “normal” for over a decade. Hell, having been a type A perfectionist majority of my life and admitting I’m “working on myself” has been hard too. Not everyone likes to admit weakness or show vulnerability, and working through it is certainly not easy. ⠀ ⠀ To anyone else working through things on your own or with a professional, struggling to accept parts of yourself and your past, know you’re not alone. Practicing self love is just that: an ongoing practice #practicemakesprogress. Like most things in life, it takes time. It may be painful, but it will be so worth it in the end. 🖤⠀ ⠀ #loveyourself #beyourownvalentine #beyourownkindofbeautiful #selflove #taketimeforyou #taketimeforyourself #loveyourselffirst #bodyimage #bodyimageissues #bodypositive #positivebodyimage #letgo #lettinggo #lettinggoofthepast #lettinggoishard #typeA #typeApersonality #recoveringperfectionist #anxiety #depression #mentalhealthawareness #mystory #selfhealingjourney #healingjourney #focusonyou #focusonyourself #youareworthit #ineedtotakemyownadvice
  • Sugar spice and everything nice - trying out a “girly” look, and I don’t hate it 💁🏼‍♀️⠀ ⠀ In my past I’ve always said “I hate pink” or “pink is so feminine and I’m so not” or “I only like pink if it’s hot pink / stripper pink / neon” but I gotta say, I don’t hate this. Maybe I’m turning a softer, more feminine leaf the closer I approach 30? Maybe it was a fluke while i was plying with colors - Time will tell 😜 ⠀ ⠀ I used @jeffreestarcosmetics #BloodSugarPalette to make this look and Jeffree’s #liquidlipstick in shade Berries on Ice, but I really would love to toss this shade - not for the pigment, but b/c it’s so damn streaky!! I 🖤 the color, but this is with 3 coats for even coverage...his black #liquidlip I wore in yesterday’s post? 1 coat. Even every time. This one is painfully time consuming to get “right” and inconsistent performance. Anyone else experiencing this? Admittedly, it’s old, but so are all of the other shades I have and some perform wayyyy better than others. ⠀ ⠀ & before i forget: Happy Valentine’s Day to those who celebrate it 🌹 ⠀ ⠀ #happyvalentinesday #bemyvalentine #beyourownvalentine #berrylip #berrylips #pinkeyeshadow #pinks #talcfreemakeup #coverfx #jeffreestarcosmetics #naturallashes #normalizeskintexture #sheerfoundation #mediumcoverage #datenightmakeup #blueeyes #acnescars #paleskin #undonebrows #pores #learningtolovemyself
  • Ghosts are white, vampires are dead, Valentine’s would be better if it were Halloween instead 👻🖤💋⠀ ⠀ I’ve never done an anti-valentines day look - thoughts? Attempted to recreate @ohdamngina’s look from a few months back (swipe to see 👉🏻) but have quite my work cut out for me 😅 #shesgotskills #practicepracticepractice I used the @jeffreestarcosmetics #BloodSugarPalette so colors were a bit diff than the ABH palette she used for her look, but not too shabby for a first attempt 🙌🏼⠀ ⠀ #antivalentinesday #butiloveyou #ilovehalloween #antivalentine #antivalentines #practicemakesprogress #practicemakesperfect #normalizeskintexture #pink #pinkeyeshadow #pinkisnotmycolor #talcfreemakeup #2020lowbuy #lowbuy #nobuy #usewhatyouhave #motd #blacklipstick #blacklips #blacklip #naturallashes #paleskin #blueeyes #darkglam #beginnermua #aspiringmua #embraceyourweirdness
