We hosted tons of events, had multiple speaking engagements, and built a community of women who helped us along the way. With the help of our community, tgin raised over $35,000 and donated the proceeds to the Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force, an organization that helps women of color diagnosed with breast cancer in underserved communities find appropriate health care to increase their chance of survival.

Breast Cancer Awareness month is over, but our fight is still ongoing! You can continue to support the cause by making online donations to the tgin foundation.

As life would have it, I made a guest appearance on the Wendy Williams Show! Whoo Hoo! I was able to chat about my experience with Breast Cancer, the importance of early detection, and why it’s important to list to your body. Check it out below!

Breast Cancer Survivors

Let’s take a peek into my fall regimen.

The TGIN Shampoo and Conditioner are forever staples. I use this duo year round to keep my hair and scalp clean and moisturized.

Hair tip: When shampooing, make sure that you concentrate on your scalp. Though it’s tempting to lather your entire head, start with clarifying the roots! Healthy scalp = healthy hair.

Next, I naturally use the Honey Miracle Hair Mask. This is great when keeping moisture locked in during the cooler months. If you’re looking for something that’s not too thick, yet still very moisturizing, this is your best bet!

Third, Argan Replenishing Hair & Body Serum to seal the deal. Typically when applying oil I add to my scalp in moderation and concentrate on my ends, as they tend to suffer most during this time of year. As it gets cooler, I moisturize my ends daily to get the best results.

Hair Tip: Watch out when using oils that harden, such as coconut oil, in the colder seasons. It tends to harden in your hair, making the hair look flaky.

I find that keeping it simple is key. Fall/winter shouldn’t be a time that you pile on tons of products. You should be able to transform your staples and use a few of your favorites that keep your hair moisturized. Hair regimens are less about following a set of rules and more about flowing with the state of your hair and taking care of it accordingly. Keep a mental calendar of what works best for your hair or feel free to just go with the flow!

Hair, always.

I’m a woman of many styles so I’m always finding ways to switch up and have fun with my hair. I love to play with extensions, whether I go with short or long – it’s all fun to me! Versatility is key. And guess what? It looks completely natural and perfect for on the go. Lately, I’ve been rockin’ the Her Given Hair clip-ins paired with my TGIN staples. Just recently I grabbed longer clip-ins, which turned out to be great for the transitioning cooler weather.

A moisturizing lippie.

Let’s be honest, this is a year-round type of thing – but the fall is no time to ease up. My go-to is the TGIN Natural Shea Butter lip balm in peppermint. I love chapstick that gives my lips that plump moisturized look and leaves my lips soft, yet not greasy. It’s also perfect for prepping for lipstick that goes on smooth.

Lipstick staple.

Speaking of lipstick, Curlfriend by The Lip Bar is great for the fall. It’s that perfect nude matte lipstick with a hint of pink. I also find myself layering this lipstick with other lippies to give off that nude undertone. This is one you’ll get tons of use out of.

Candles galore. 

Last but not least, is it really fall is you don’t have a fall scented candle? I am in love with candles. I place them all over my home for a relaxing feel. If I’m not grabbing candles from Ikea, Bath & Body Works is another great spot to grab them. and when they’ve got a great sale going on – I rack up even more!

What are your fall favorites?
