The Secret To Flawless Hair, Skin & Makeup Is Only $8

Last month, I took a much needed vacation that ended up being educational. The destination was Dubai and the weather got pretty unruly.

Imagine the shock my skin was put through after going from a winter chill to summer heat in less than 24 hours–can you say “breakout?!” However, instead of freaking out, I chose to maintain some chill and enjoy the fact that I was far away from work and makeup-free.

Fast forward through a few days of beach lounging, obligatory sight seeing and sleep (!),  and of course, my tan just wasn’t where I wanted it to be.  However, after rummaging through my boyfriend’s kitchen cabinets, I circled back to a bottle of coconut oil, which he uses for cooking.

Spectrum Essentials Coconut Oil

Thank the beauty gods for Google because I soon discovered that it’s one of the most versatile products you’ll find at home. Not only did I slather it on at the beach; it’s also an amazing makeup remover, hair conditioner and skin moisturizer. The best part about my discovery? It’s only $8! Flawless skin and hair for the price of lunch is something you just can’t pass up.

What I Love:

*When used as a makeup remover, it literally all of the work is done for you. Simply scoop a spoonful of coconut oil over your face, lather, rinse and watch your foundation fall into the sink. Also, it provides a smooth, clean surface for primer the next morning.

*There’s no sticky mess after. When used in moderation, coconut oil is a great alternative for your favorite body lotion.

*Tans on fleek! Unlike most SPF products, coconut oil is all natural. It protects the skin, prevents peeling and produces a tan in record time.

*If you have stubborn hair that tends to frizz, a dime size amount of coconut oil will smooth out messy strands and provide added moisture. I never go without it before and after a bikram yoga class.

What I Don’t Love:

*Organic coconut oil usually comes in a solid form, so refrigerating can get annoying. The good part is it can go from liquid to a gel-like form pretty quickly.

*Sometimes the smell can be a little nauseating, but that’s just a matter of preference and your mood.

SBs, are you ready to add coconut oil to your beauty routine?

Skilla Baby Teases New Project With “Free Big Meech”

Published

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

“Wake Up” With Young Franco & Master Peace

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
