The New Bougie!

What does it mean to be a BAP (Black American Princess)? This question crossed my mind as I thought about this month's blog. All of this speaks to feminism. And being bougie means that you can still be a BOSS and be STYLISH. Nevertheless, bougie and repressive conservatism go hand in hand. Because makeup is minimal, skincare is paramount. Aularale's basic skincare set delivers. $96

 

With this set, you will get a cleanser, toner and moisturizer, plus an herbal infused clay masque. Good skincare is just as important as proper etiquette. Invest in a motorized facial cleansing brush and cotton pads for maximum results. 

IVY LEAGUE

Most Black American Princess' want pretty skin and good hair. All hair is good hair if taken care of properly. Mielle hair care line is the #1 brand for gradual results. 

Secret recipe for Supernatural Sistas: Add 6-10 full droppers of Mielle's Rosemary Mint Scalp and Hair Strengthening Oil to 3-4oz of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Stimulates Accelerated Growth.

MAKE IT AFFORDABLE

If you are doing Valentine's Day for that special someone, you don't have to break the bank. Fortunately, Kroger has affordable sushi, enough for 2 in their deli. $12 and under. Pair that with a bottle of Arbor Mist (SERVED COLD), a cheese board sprinkled with Hershey's Kisses, and you have a GREAT NIGHT!
