The Fly Girl’s Best in Beauty and Wellness 2021 Guide
All self-care everythang in 2021.
If I don’t do anything else- I take care of me. I celebrate my small wins, I check in with my emotions, I drink my hot water with apple cider vinegar, lemon and turmeric, I listen to Kierra Sheard and Natalie Lauren to soothe my spirit, I protect my peace, I do it all. In this climate where we need to be taking care of ourselves.
I employ my fly girls: do the things that you enjoy and that bring you to your highest self. I created a guide of my favorite things. From collagen powder (cause skincare hits differently when you’re in your thirties), CDB bath soaks to Black-owned workout clothes- this is the year to take care of you and do you.
Collagen Powder by YouTheory
I’m obsessed with collagen. I take it in pill form and in powder form, wrinkles be damned. I live for YouTheory’s Collagen Powder. I dig the vanilla flavored powder as I can put one scoop into my morning coffee and it flavors my morning brew. It supplies 6,000 mg of hydrolyzed collagen per serving and it’s a super easy way to replenish the essential beauty proteins I need. I see smile lines disappearing and underneath my press-ons- my nails are long and my hair is growing. YouTheory’s Collagen Powder is a staple on my beauty cart.

CultureFit Workout Wear
“My body stay viciousI be up in the gym just working on my fitness” -Fergalicious by Fergie
I was just tweeting about how Fergie’s album The Dutchess was such a bop. Working out, church and taking a bath are my centers. I work out daily, I attend church via online and I take a bubble bath multiple times a week. I do what I need to do to thrive. Working out goes to the new level when you invest in cute workout clothes. Do yourself a favor and try a fit from CultureFit.
CultureFit sells mix and match workout sets in three different West African prints. You pick your leggings first, then choose whether you want a matching top or sports bra. And if you want to go the extra mile, you can throw in a matching yoga mat.

Enriched with the soothing scents of Lavender Vanilla, this butter is sure to be your BFF after a long day. This essential oil combo is known to be the ultimate anti-inflammatory reliever of mild pains, while a mixture of butters and oils help moisturize, tone, and rejuvenate the skin.
Temple Zen
Holistic realness. Temple Zen was created by professional dancer Jashiro Dean, who needed a product that would serve his skincare needs and calm his nervous system. So he created it himself, mixing potions of aloe vera, shea butter, essential oils, and more, which eventually became Temple Zen.
