These products are fully transparent. I always leave room for people to do their own research when we are talking. It's your body, your health, and your choice. As a Health and wellness professional, it is my job to provide you with the information and help you transition into a healthier lifestyle if that is what you choose. I have provided a lot of links throughout this article so you can do even more reading on these topics below. Some of these links do include affiliate links where I may receive a small profit at no additional cost to you! If you have any questions over any of the products don't hesitate to reach out to me. One thing I recommend to everyone- If you are taking any vitamins or supplements always check to see if they are “ Third Party tested” this means that another company came in and tested the products instead of you believe what is in the bottle. If the company is hesitant to show you these documents RUN Especially if you get your supplements from a third-party source like Amazon. Look into the company because they are selling a lot of products that are not always the purest or truest form of what you are buying.

Storytime! Have you ever had a moment where your supposed-to-be story didn't quite end up being your reality? Let me give you an example. I was planning on being in Colombia for an extended weekend. This trip was a big deal and I was planning on going with a group of lovely women who I have the pleasure of callings, my friends/sisters. At the beginning of planning this trip, there were so many signs and things bringing this trip together. Preparing for this trip taught us all so many lessons. Fast forward to the morning of the trip. My bags are packed, I'm sitting on my bed with a negative covid test and still no passport. I ran into soooo many issues with my passport and my official birth certificate wasn't official enough. After getting this fixed and paying to expedite my passport, It finally came on time! The post office man walked up the stairs and knocked on my door. I'm in a robe about to get in the shower so I throw a dress on and run to the door. By the time I get to the door, he has already left with MY PASSPORT!!! I try running up the street, but my neighbors said he had already left. I start calling post offices, looking for a tracking number, and nothing! He didn't leave it in my mailbox until a few days later. He could have easily done that the first day! So now I'm sitting on my bed, trying to process what to do next. Since I canceled my appointments and blocked out my calendar to be in Colombia for a week. This is when God taught me this lesson. The reality you have in mind is your suppose to be. What you are living right now is your reality. The two are separated by your thoughts and beliefs and how flexible the two can be. This was a very powerful realization because sometimes we don't believe we deserve good things, we think we are unlucky, and we self-sabotage. This is a very common reality for most people. This is why I created a course to help you un-program blocks in your life that you could be setting up yourself. Not only blocks but dreaming small. We tend to underestimate what our future holds by what our past was. We are no longer in the past so this does not tie into what we are supposed to be. When making anything with yeast, it has to go through this process called "proofing." During this process, whatever you are making, bread, croissant, or pastries they have a chance to reach their full size or potential. We do not define it by this phrase. If they are able to rise to the occasion, then they get baked. Trauma, test, and trials are the yeast to our bread, which is life. When God is adding more yeast to your life (the bread), we will have to rise to the occasion or remain flat(question why me.) After we rise to the occasion of life we have to continue to go through, even more, now the baking process. This is a totally different level of testing in our life. We know that we've been through a lot of hard things but we were able to rise to the occasion. Now that we have all of this knowledge under our belt and hopefully our faith is stronger. We have upgraded the pressure we are now going through. Our mindset should be at a point where we understand that this is all coming together for our greater good. This mindset does not make anything easier! Things will still be hard you just know you are equipped with the proper tools to make it through whatever you face. So what’s your supposed to be? What position or job were you supposed to have by now? Which house was supposed to be yours? Were you supposed to be a mother by now? Where are you supposed to be married by now? Were you supposed to be traveling and seeing the world by now? What have you seen, that you are now placing yourself in this box? A box of expectations from the world that were never expected for your life. Do you even know how to listen to yourself to understand your calling? Do you know your purpose? Do you know how to differentiate the different voices in your head? Do you understand how to listen to your intuition? Or is your volume turned down so low you’re not even sure what your true voice is if you even have one? If you want to be able to unlock these tools and reach your full potential.

You can work hard for success in life, but there will always be this feeling of unfulfillment if you don't understand your purpose in this chapter of your life. Working hard and grinding day and night you will notice your soul feeling tired. This feeling comes when you are working towards goals that are NOT a part of your soul purpose in this chapter of your life. We go through many seasons of our lives and some seem more difficult than others because we haven't checked in with ourselves to be guided to where we need to be. I'll give you an example from my life. The chapter I am in now and the chapter I just left were not a slow transition at all! God has really tested my faith and trust in him a lot during 2021. At the end of this last chapter, I had to just give up everything I had worked so hard to build. I was going to school and working on building my brand. Then, one day I had to get rid of it, just like that. It was hard! I knew it was something I had to do. Throughout this difficult process I had peace because I was so in alignment with who I am and who he was. I knew there was no way that this situation could ever harm me. If I am listening to the spirit guiding me as he has guided me before and he has put me in positions that I didn't even think were possible. I know if he placed me in these positions, he can definitely bring me through them to place me in even higher positions. Question: Have you ever been in a position of your life where you had no idea how you got there? I mean you weren't qualified, there were so many factors working against you but somehow, despite EVERYTHING you were put in a place where you're just like Wow! I created a course called Spirit-led Prosperity. This is a course where I guide you to enhance your tools within you. You always have everything you need. Sometimes you may not know how to use or unlock the tools in the chapter you are in but this is where I come in as your guide. No man can tell you your purpose just guide you into unlocking your full potential. If you're ready to unlock your full potential and live a life of prosperity. Join me on a 6-week challenge or course via my app "Holistic Missions" or grab your Passport for my next international retreat! ✨Wishing you Peace, Love & Blessings ✨ -Sierra!

Hello Lovely People!! My name is Sierra, but you can call me "Your Bestie Blogger." I am 1st generation Haitian American, Lover of Christ, Lover of life, and Lover of good times mixed with good vibes! You are probably wondering, "Who is this girl, and why is she calling herself my bestie?" That's a perfectly valid thought, lets do a little back story My clients and friends have been waiting for me to share my knowledge with them on a platform for quite some time. So I created "Your Bestie Blogger." Which will include Moving abroad - Recipes -Skincare - Health and wellness facts and tips, Story time, Sunday devotions and more. I will be sharing from my blog as well as my Youtube Channel, "Your Bestie Blogger." Everyone around me, including myself we are all dealing with something where a simple answer is not a realistic answer to the problem. We are human. We are complex living beings. God spoke the universe into existence but had to form us by hand because we are complex, beautiful, and uniquely made. Taking all of this into consideration I created my company Holistic Missions. Though we are all human, we are at different stages and are on different missions in life. I can not tell you what your mission is, that is much bigger than myself, but I guide you through. Like a coach, I can't play this game we call life for you. With the proper techniques I can help you make this journey meaningful from generation after generation. We provide you 0ne-on-one and group coaching, International retreats, workshops and different Challenges that will dive into a subject and help you implement it in your life. There will be courses on Mindset- understanding how our brain communicates and becoming aware of cycles and patterns we are in and the way we talk to ourselves. The Body -Gut health, hormone imbalances, working through feelings and facts. The Soul and the Spririt, the differences, as well as activating your Spirit if it is not active (everyone does not have an active spirit) and more all through my "Holistic Missions" app. Sometimes true balance, seems so far out of our reach. Now, I invite you to browse our App, website, subscribe to my blogs and Youtube Channel, schedule a free 1-on-1 call if you are interested in doing 1-on-1 coaching, do a little shopping, or share this with a friend. Please feel free to message me. Ask me any questions you may have or let me know about topics you want to hear about. I'd love to hear from you and get to know you! ✨Wishing you Peace, Love & Blessings ✨ -Your Bestie Blogger!💗

This post does contain affiliate links What the heck are razors bumps? Why do I get them? Why do I feel itchy a few days after shaving?! Girl, we are going to talk about ALL of this so don't worry! Guys I am talking to you too! So, razor bumps, what are these annoying little... sometimes big things? Razor bumps are normally found along the bikini line. They normally appear a few days after shaving. What is the proper way of handling my bikini region when shaving? ( Or any region on my body that is subjectable to ingrown hairs, like your axillary region (underarms) or chin. Step One: Prep your skin at least 3 days prior. This is for men and women, bikini or chin. To prep your skin you want to exfoliate to remove dead skin. Have you ever noticed that you were getting razor bumps after shaving and some of them were filled with pus? This pus is from an infection. The infection may be from dirt, debris, or other microorganisms trapped underneath dead skin or buried in the hair follicle. So when that hair is removed, I'll use waxing as an example. The hair is being pulled up from the follicle so now if there was something holding on deep in the follicle can now seep into this new micro-opening. This is one reason more with shaving than waxing it can feel itchy after. Shaving and waxing are both forms of exfoliation. This is one reason you don't want to exfoliate prior to shaving or walking into your appointment. Removing the dead skin prior to hair removal you are setting a good base for the new growth to come in. If there is still dead skin when new growth is coming in it will be hard for that hair to grow through the skin. This is how the hair gets stuck and forms ingrown hair. (This post does contain affiliate links) This is my favorite go-to tool for pre-shaving/ pre-waxing. I apply this to my skin right after shaving or waxing. For my ladies dealing with PCOS, If I am ever dealing with a few ingrown hairs on my chin I will use this in place of my serums to keep my skin smooth. Step Two: Post-care exfoliation. This is a great post-shaving or waxing product. I bought this product from the studio I received my first Brazillian wax from. They put some on after my wax and recommended the product to me explaining why. (I'm hairy and my hair is thick, like two or three coming out of a follicle thick!) So I use the product on clean skin the next few days twice a day to prevent ingrown hairs from forming. You can use this anywhere, personally, I never had to use it under my arms. Another product that I am fond of is Tend Skin Solution. I have recently started leaning more towards this product after my Sugar waxing days because I do apply this product everywhere. I have never had any irritation from this product. I do apply this product to my underarms since it is a liquid. Please be wise, if you want to apply it around the "downstairs area/ your intimate regions." just do a little tap tap. It's sensitive and does not want to be smothered with anything that's strong. I also use this product if I have an ingrown popping up. I apply just a drop to keep it at bay until I can do a proper exfoliation. I would typically do this either the next day or at night. Step Three: Moisture! Moisture! MOISTURE! Let me ask you a question. When your hands or legs are dry and you want smooth skin what do you do? Lotion, right? So lotioning or applying oil is a way we help our skin feel smooth. Exfoliation and moisturizing your skin go hand and hand. They are great on their own but this duo together... Trust me, honey, they can't tell you nothing! Moisturing daily also keeps your skin feeling smooth and the two together will keep your skin looking toned. Just be aware of the lotions you are applying to your body and the ingredients in them. For overall good skin health. You should exfoliate your body weekly, two to three times is recommended to help remove excess dead skin. You can even do this in the morning before getting in the shower and using a dry brush. I will post about dry brushing and its' benefits in a different post. Tell me how these products work for you or what you use for pre-treatment. ✨Wishing you Peace, Love & Blessings ✨ -Sierra, Your bestie blogger.

We always see videos and recipes on how to make chia pudding as if we were meal prepping for the week. With portions sizes that are 3x plus the amount, we should be eating. Just to make it look "picture perfect" with overflowing toppings. What if we want a single serving of chia pudding, right now!? How do I make a single serving of chia pudding when making more seems like an over-commitment? Well, let's try it out. I think the hardest choice is, what flavor should we indulge in? Banana Cacao with Chocolate chips? Strawberry delight? Coconut Chia pudding? There are so many different ways we can create this. So, let's start basic since we are doing single-serving then we can add our toppings of choice. First, you want to gather your ingredients 2 Tbsp Chia seeds 2/3 Soy Milk, Nut milk, Oat Milk or Milk 1 Tbsp Maple syrup or Honey Other optional ingredients you can add include: A dash of Vanilla extract (optional) sprinkle of Cinnamon Fresh or frozen berries Banana slices and walnuts Cacao to the mix topped with some semi-chocolate chips. The choices are endless. Take a look into your cabinet and see what you have to play with. When making chia pudding I like to mix my 1 tbsp of maple or honey with my milk of choice first. Last-minute I decided to add 1 tbsp of cacao. Caution - If you pour the Cacao over the milk and stir it will look like this. The milk has to splash on top of the cacao to be able to blend properly. If I knew I was adding Cacao to the mix, I would mix this in before adding my chia seeds and stir until there are no lumps. I added my 2 tbsp of Chia seeds and a dash of cinnamon to my liking and continued to stir. If you are making a single serving to enjoy later, stir the pudding after 15 mins. The chia seeds will thicken and you want to stir to keep them from settling to be able to enjoy them later. I do recommend waiting 15 minutes because it will give it that true pudding thickness. Tip: With different milk (Coconut milk, oat milk, almond milk, etc) comes different consistency. Depending on how thick you want your pudding, you can add more or fewer chia seeds. You will not be able to truly tell the thickness until that 15-minute mark. I topped mine with some frozen berries and I truly enjoyed it! Tell me what you added to your chia pudding I would love to hear how this process went for you. ✨Wishing you Peace, Love & Blessings ✨ -Sierra, Your bestie blogger.

Why is it that whenever we think of a skincare routine, we often think of this long process? Why are there so many steps? Do we all need this many steps? Before we begin there are so many factors that affect our skin. From our lifestyle to the foods we eat, genetics, different skin conditions, and more. Let's find out the steps and see if any of these steps can be added, avoided or if you are doing them in the correct steps. (This post does include affiliate links, I may receive a payment if you use the link provided. This does not cost you anything.) Step One: The Cleanser. Are you putting any products on your skin, are you sweating and getting dirty, do you work outdoors or inside where the air may debris? If so, you want to wash all of this off this is where the cleanser comes in. Before we wash everything off of our face you want to know, that our skin is mildly acidic with a pH of around 5. Soap on the other hand is more basic around a 10. So let's talk about cleansers and what they do for us. So when you cleanse your face you are washing all the dirt debris, free radicals in your environment, and oils, some naturally produced. When picking a cleanser you want to find one that is lower on the pH scale than most soaps. By doing this you will keep your skin's pH close to that golden ring of Glow-ness! . For everyday cleansers I like a Plant-based line Clarity- Cleanse daily, $34.50 Youth to the People- Kale and green tea cleanser $36 Image - $36 As far as a glycolic cleanser I like Clarity Cleanse as needed $42 For a detailed review of cleansers check out my post on cleansers. Exfoliants are Optional for younger skin. At a young age, your body is still growing, until around 25 years of age. Your cell turnover rate is still pretty high and most don't need to have extra outside help. I love and use both of these products. Get clean is a very easy-to-use crushed bamboo exfoliant. It is delicate enough for all skin types to help skin cell turnover. There are also cucumber, rosemary, and calendula extracts to calm irritations and soothe your skin. If you are dealing with dry lips this doubles as a lip scrub. Rub this onto your face and leave it on for at least a minute.$32 Down and dirty is a cooling charcoal micro exfoliant. This is probably one favorite of the two because it contains amazing ingredients from the land and sea! Activated charcoal helps remove toxins from the skin.$36 I would not recommend this product if you have large, visible pores. Step Two: Let's tone and make it right baby! After you wash your face and some of your natural oils with soap the pH of your skin will be different. This is where we make it right baby! Toners; when you tone your skin you are correcting the pH levels of your skin. Seambum naturally brings your pH in balance but that can be washed away when removing the other particles from your skin. You have to remember like your gut, your skin also has a microbiome that needs balancing and protecting. Take your vitamins by clarity Products I like Clarity Take your vitamins $44 This product is great to keep some in a smaller bottle on you if you have dry skin and you wear make-up. You can just mist over your skin to keep you slayin' throughout the day. Youth to the People- $38 Murad- Vitamin C Hydrating Toner $36 I love a toner that gives back and you feel refreshed after. Packaging may vary. I've seen it as a magenta color and I currently have an orange container. Optional Weekly Step: Mask So not only are mask fun to do by yourself, with your spouse, and your friends. They are very beneficial. Each mask has different benefits depending on your area of concern and what you are targeting. I'll have a post about Mask so check that out! Step Three: Smear it or spread it? Let's Serum it! (This is an optional step, but one of my favorites if you are addressing, correcting, or preventing.) We are getting into the good good now. The serums!! Who doesn't love a good serum? Serums can help with a very wide range of problems. I use and love to recommend a Vitamin C serum. Currently, I am using Image vitamin C serum in the morning. In the evening I use my more corrective serums. Love vitamin C in the morning! $74.67 Clarity daily dose of water- This product helps lock in the water on your face. Apply this when your skin is still damp for optimal results. $76 At this point, our skin is looking good and dewy! Step Four: Time to seal in that moisture! We can take a water-based approach or do an oil-based moisturizer. Toning and moisturizing go hand and hand they both add to our skin what we took away. This is a step a lot of people skip. A lot of my clients that have oily skin or acne-prone skin were my main cooperate at not moisturizing. Mainly because they haven't found the correct product for their skin. Moisturizers have tried to add more oil to already oily skin or clog pores and they breakout. I will explain in another post about different skin types and common concerns they have and common things they may do "to help." With moisturizing. Clarity Everyday moisture for every skin type. - $70 I recommend this for dry skin or if you want to help with the appearance of wrinkles.- $70 I love the way this moisturizer feels of this on the skin. Youth to the People-Kale and Spinach Hyaluronic acid $48 The best part of Youth to the People ingredients, I always feel like I'm getting my vegetables in first thing in the morning. From the superfoods cleanser to the kale and spinach moisture cream. This is a super lightweight Moisture cream kind of like a spinach and kale salad. Youth to the People- Ashwagangha + Reishi Pentapeptide $58 Ashwagandha root and Reishi on my skin while I drink it in my tea?! Yes, please! Step Five: S-U-N-S-C-R-E-E-N! Yes, rain or shine summer or winter you want to protect your skin. We have sunscreen, and outdoor sunscreen (haha.) Sunscreen does more than help us get burned. It also acts as a second defense for melanin. It protects the elastin and collagen layers in our dermis. Or in simpler terms, it helps combat wrinkles and fights off things that may cause skin cancer. This does not mean If you have more melanin you don't need sunscreen. You do! Black don't crack, but it can sag. I am currently using Image spf50 it's smooth and goes on very easily on every skin type easily. It's one I loved using on my clients in my spa and personally use. Image SPF 32 - $44 If you are looking for the simplest routine remember to give back to your skin what you take. Remember I am not a Dermatologist just an Aestictian. So if you have a major skin concern speak with your derm. ✨Peace, Love & Blessings ✨ -Sierra!, Your Bestie Blogger 💗
