The Glow Up Run Down

Hi Gorgeous,

How are you?

No seriously. How are you feeling? Steal a few moments for yourself. You deserve it.
I've been biking a lot and feeling inspired.
I have some podcasts, beauty news, and recs for things to do in the city for you.

First up I got to be a guest on one of my favorite podcasts and had the realest conversation with Brittany Krystle of Beyond Influential. I've been a fan for years so this was extra special.

We go deep on business, burn out, balance and beyond.
Here's part 1 and part 2. Yes, it was so good we needed 2 parts! Find it here on Spotify.

Another great podcast to listen to is Brooke Devard's Naked Beauty Podcast. Here's the episode on Self-care in Dark Times.

I recently got to be a guest editor over on the Naked Beauty IG. Find it here and here.

Beauty Conversation:
Tiktok creator @Lipglossssssssss is starting a natural hair (type 4) movement. She has sparked so much conversation around what it is to be a black girl wearing your natural hair.
This one is worth watching too (honestly following her is life enhancing).

Makeup News:

Are you using the right highlighting/contour techniques for your face? Check out part 1 of my face sculpting reels.

It's National Lipstick Day, I talked to Oprah Daily about my faves . In the piece you'll find one of my favorite YSL Slim Radical Velvet lippies. I also mentioned Uoma Beauty's Bad Ass Icon in Ruby (this link is from my shoplist)- but it's so popular my good sis Jonet is right next to me in the piece recommending the same shade.

Here's the shot that didn't make it:

Last and certainly not least, Danessa Myricks brought us a limited edition Mini Lightwork III Experience Eyes & Face Palette .
8 curated and stunning chromatic shades.

Fun beauty and wellness things to do in NYC:
If you're in NYC and want to attend any Allure Store events here's the calendar.
It's a beautiful space, if you haven't been definitely check it out.
Afterwards have lunch at Bronson's Burgers or dinner at Mercer Kitchen

If you just wanna live your healthy hot girl fantasy:
Get into an artful & aesthetic exercise experience.
Bala has the prettiest and most elevated equipment and space I've ever seen in fitness.


Ok gorgeous, that's all I have for you today.

Have a magical weekend.


Sending you lots of love.

Ttyl,
Ehlie
