Holiday Essentials

Yes yes the holidays are upon us😅. Another year gone and I'm hoping y'all have something to show for it. So yeah it's almost end of October and you know what that means...bring out the Mariah Carey😂😂 . Seriously she has that bag 4l with her Christmas carols lmaoo good for her.

Ok so now that the holidays are upon us, we need to be prepared so January can't January that bad if you catch my drift😅. We have to be prepared guys the world doesn't end on the 31st as we all hope😂.

Sunscreen. Cannot stress this enough, it should be a part of your daily routine especially how hot it gets here around the end of the year and those who prefer to spend their holiday in Coast for the holidays like ditch the lotion for sunscreen at this point. And dare I hear anyone say we are black we don't need it😂.

Open shoes because no one wants sweaty feet on vacation or just in warm weather period. Put the sneakers to rest loves😂. We know you have game but let them feet breathe guys😂.

Money. Don't worry, I don't have any either😂 but we still have a month guys or maybe next year is our year for sure💪.

A good playlist is needed if your going for a long trip whether voluntary or not lol because this is the season to visit family and relatives and a good playlist relative to what you like will definitely enrich the experience.

A charged phone to capture all the aesthetics innit😅(yes, I am part of the Top Boy cast😂😂) So you can have all the memories for keeps just to remember when life was good at least and to thrive for your life to always be that good😂. It's great motivation tbh so make sure you carry your charger.

If I've missed any essential make sure to share on the official everything melanin blog page on Instagram and I do add peoples opinions guys. If I agree with it of course. Have a great week ahead guys and remember to give yourself grace. You're doing the best you can atm💛.
