50 Beauty Secrets and Beauty Myths You Need to Know for Flawless Skin

Hi there, my beautiful readers! Have you ever wondered if some of the beauty myths we hear about are just like those urban legends—stories created by someone with a little too much time and a vivid imagination? Well, I have, and today, I’m diving deep into the world of beauty secrets and uncovering the truths you need to know for flawless skin. 😊✨💖

This morning, I wondered if cold water could shrink my pores (spoiler alert: it can’t). I thought, “Why not explore some of these beauty myths?” 😊💧🙃

Let’s see what’s true, what’s totally false, and what’s just plain bizarre. We all love a good beauty secret, but we’ve got to separate fact from fiction, right? 😊🔍💅

I have never claimed to know everything (though I wish I did), and honestly, some of these myths can sound so convincing. 😊🤔💡

Even I’ve been tempted to believe them! But that’s what makes this beauty journey so fun—and sometimes, a little confusing. 😊💫🎨

Armed with curiosity and a pinch of skepticism, I thought, why not investigate what works and what doesn’t? I’m also juggling too many creative projects (because who has “too much time”?). 😊🧵🎨

From beading to painting, I’m all about embracing creativity. Who’s got time to waste on beauty myths when there’s so much to do? 😊💪🎉

Grab your favorite snack and get comfy—because it’s time to uncover the truth behind some of the biggest beauty myths out there, and trust me, this ride is going to be a lot of fun! 😊🍿🎢

50 beauty myths debunked


1. Shaving makes your hair thicker

   Nope, sorry. Shaving doesn’t change your hair’s structure. It may feel coarser because the shaved hair has a blunt edge, but it doesn’t grow back thicker.

2. Pores can open and close

   Unfortunately, pores aren’t tiny doors. They don’t “open” or “close,” but you can keep them clean to make them appear smaller.

3. Toothpaste is good for pimples

   Toothpaste is for teeth, not skin. Its ingredients can dry out or irritate your skin, often making the problem worse.

4. Cold water shrinks pores

   Sorry, but cold water magic is a myth too. Cold water can make your skin feel fresher, but your pores remain the same size.

5. Natural products are always better for your skin

   “Natural” sounds amazing, but it doesn’t automatically mean it’s good for your skin. Think poison ivy – 100% natural, but not exactly skin-friendly.

6. You should wash your hair every day

   Washing too often can dry out your hair and irritate your scalp. A few times a week is usually more than enough.

7. Hair grows faster when you cut it

   Trimming gets rid of split ends, but it doesn’t affect your hair growth. Hair grows from the roots, not the ends.

8. Makeup causes acne

   Not necessarily. The issue is usually not removing makeup properly. Cleanse your skin every night, and it will thank you.

9. You need to drink eight glasses of water a day for glowing skin

   Hydration is important, but your skin won’t automatically glow from gallons of water. It’s a combination of diet, skincare, and lifestyle.

10. Aging always means dry skin

   Not always. Aging can change your skin type, but dryness can also result from other factors like your skincare routine or the climate.

11. Acne will go away as you get older

   If only it were that simple. Hormones can wreak havoc at any age, so acne isn’t just a teenage problem.

12. Makeup with SPF is enough protection

   Makeup with SPF is a nice bonus, but it’s not sufficient. Always use a dedicated sunscreen for optimal protection.

13. Hair masks work better if you leave them on longer

   Hair masks do their job within the recommended time. Leaving them on longer usually doesn’t add extra benefits.

14. You can get rid of cellulite with creams

   Unfortunately, cellulite is largely genetic and can’t be fully erased with creams. Healthy eating, exercise, and hydration can help, though.

15. Scrubbing helps with acne

   Over-scrubbing can actually worsen acne by irritating your skin. Opt for a gentle exfoliant with salicylic acid instead.

16. Nails need to breathe

   Nails are made of dead cells. They don’t need oxygen – they get it from your bloodstream.

17. Conditioner should only go on your ends

   Not true! If your scalp is dry or damaged, you can apply conditioner there too. Just rinse thoroughly.

18. Plucking a gray hair makes more grow back

   Plucking doesn’t affect your hair color. It can irritate the surrounding area, though, so avoid doing it.

19. Sleeping with your hair down prevents damage

   Loose hair can actually cause friction. A loose braid or a satin pillowcase helps protect your hair.

20. Your skin gets used to products, so they stop working

   Your skin doesn’t build resistance to products. If something seems less effective, it’s usually due to changes in your skin or external factors.

21. Tanning beds are a safe way to get a tan

   Tanning beds are anything but safe. They increase your risk of skin cancer and cause premature aging. Stick to self-tanner if you want a glow without the sun damage.

22. You need to exfoliate every day

   Over-exfoliating can irritate and damage your skin. Exfoliate 1-2 times a week, depending on your skin type.

23. Oil makes your skin greasy

   Not necessarily. The right oils can hydrate and balance your skin. If you’re worried about greasiness, choose non-comedogenic oils.

24. You can shrink your pores with a product

   Products can’t shrink pores permanently, but they can help clean and tighten them temporarily.

25. You need to stick to one skincare brand for the best results

   It’s about finding the right products, not the brand. Mix and match based on your skin’s needs!

26. You can erase stretch marks

   Stretch marks are natural and can fade over time, but there’s no magic cream that can make them disappear completely.

27. Wearing makeup every day will age your skin

   It’s not the makeup that’s aging, but how you treat your skin underneath. Remove makeup properly and moisturize!

28. You can "detox" your skin

   Skin doesn’t need detoxing. It naturally does that on its own. Just cleanse, hydrate, and protect!

29. Drinking coffee dehydrates your skin

   While caffeine can be dehydrating in excess, moderate coffee consumption doesn’t cause major dehydration if you balance it with water.

30. You can’t wear sunscreen under makeup

   Yes, you can! Choose a non-greasy, lightweight sunscreen that won’t interfere with your makeup.

31. Oily skin doesn’t need moisturizer

   Oily skin still needs moisture, but choose an oil-free, lightweight moisturizer to avoid clogging pores.

32. Waxing causes the hair to grow back thicker

   Waxing removes hair from the root, and while it may feel thicker as it grows back, it’s actually finer and softer over time.

33. Mascara makes your lashes fall out

   Unless you’re rubbing your eyes like you’re trying to start a fire, mascara won’t make your lashes fall out.

34. Your hair can “learn” to be healthy

   Hair can be nourished, but it can’t really “learn” to be healthy. It’s all about proper care and nutrition.

35. You can remove dark circles with just a cream

   Unfortunately, no cream can completely erase dark circles. Adequate sleep, hydration, and a good concealer are your best friends.

36. Your face should feel tight after washing

   A tight feeling means your skin is stripped of its natural oils. Use a gentle cleanser that doesn’t leave your skin feeling dry and tight.

37. You should avoid using makeup on blemishes

   As long as you remove it properly at the end of the day, there’s no reason not to use makeup to cover up blemishes.

38. Hair color damages your hair forever

   With the right products and regular treatments, your hair can stay healthy even after coloring.

39. All sunscreens are the same

   Not all sunscreens are created equal. Look for broad-spectrum protection and the right SPF level for your needs.

40. Oily skin doesn’t need exfoliation

   Exfoliating is just as important for oily skin as it is for dry skin to remove excess oil and dead skin cells.

41. Drinking alcohol helps with skin problems

   Alcohol can actually worsen skin issues like acne and dehydration. Moderation is key!

42. You can’t change the size of your pores

   While you can’t shrink pores permanently, you can make them look smaller by keeping them clean and using the right skincare products.

43. Hair naturally gets healthier the longer it grows

   Hair can get damaged as it grows, so trimming regularly is essential to keep it looking healthy.

44. You can get rid of wrinkles with facial exercises

   While facial exercises may help tone muscles, they don’t erase wrinkles. Good skincare and sun protection are your best bet.

45. You shouldn’t wear makeup on sensitive skin

   Makeup is fine on sensitive skin, as long as you choose products formulated for it. Just be sure to patch-test first!

46. Dry shampoo can replace washing your hair completely

   Dry shampoo is great for absorbing excess oil, but it’s not a replacement for a real wash. Your scalp still needs cleaning.

47. You have to buy expensive skincare to see results

   Skincare doesn’t have to cost a fortune. There are affordable options that work just as well as high-end products.

48. You need to use different products in the morning and at night

   You can use the same products both AM and PM, just adjust the application based on your needs.

49. You should never pop a pimple

   While it’s not ideal, if you must pop it, do it properly and with clean hands. Don’t pick at it!

50. You need to wear makeup to look good

   Makeup can enhance your features, but you’re beautiful without it too. It’s all about what makes you feel confident!


There you have it – 50 beauty myths busted! Now that we’ve separated fact from fiction, I’m curious: which myth surprised you the most? Let me know in the comments, and maybe I’ll debunk some more! 😊💬✨

50 Beauty Secrets To Obtain Flawless Skin


1. Hydration is key for healthy skin

2. Sunscreen is the most important skincare product  

   It protects your skin from harmful UV rays, preventing premature aging and skin cancer.

3. Sleep is essential for healthy skin  

   Your skin repairs itself while you sleep, so make sure to get enough rest.

4. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells  

   Regular exfoliation (but not too often!) helps reveal fresh skin and can improve the effectiveness of other products.

5. Cleansing is crucial  

   Washing your face twice a day helps remove dirt, makeup, and impurities that can cause breakouts.

6. Healthy diet reflects on your skin  

   Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants can improve your complexion.

   Moisturizer helps keep your skin hydrated and prevents it from becoming dry and irritated.

8. Consistency is key in skincare  

   For best results, follow your skincare routine consistently, day and night.

9. Retinol helps with aging  

   Retinol encourages cell turnover and can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

10. Vitamin C brightens the skin  

   Vitamin C is known for its ability to brighten skin, even out skin tone, and reduce dark spots.

11. Sun protection helps prevent pigmentation  

   Sunscreen is essential to avoid hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and other skin discolorations.

12. Stress affects your skin  

   Stress can lead to breakouts and skin flare-ups, so managing stress is essential for good skin health.

13. Skin is more sensitive in colder weather  

   Cold weather can make your skin dry and sensitive, so be sure to hydrate more during the winter months.

14. Skin care is about prevention, not just fixing problems  

   Preventing damage (with sunscreen, hydration, etc.) is better than trying to fix skin issues later.

15. Makeup can irritate your skin if not removed properly  

   Always cleanse your skin thoroughly before going to bed to prevent clogged pores and irritation.

16. Your skin type changes over time  

   As you age or change your lifestyle, your skin type may shift, so adjust your skincare routine accordingly.

17. Sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours  

   Especially if you're outdoors, it's important to reapply sunscreen every couple of hours to maintain protection.

18. Hormones can affect your skin  

   Hormonal changes (such as during pregnancy, menstruation, or menopause) can lead to acne or other skin issues.

19. Makeup isn’t the cause of acne, poor hygiene is  

   Properly removing makeup at the end of the day is crucial to preventing breakouts.

20. Diet affects your hair too  

   A nutrient-rich diet with vitamins like biotin can promote stronger, healthier hair.

21. Shampooing your hair too often can cause damage  

   Washing your hair too frequently strips it of its natural oils, leading to dryness and potential damage.

22. Regular trims keep hair healthy  

   Cutting off split ends helps prevent further damage and keeps your hair looking its best.

   Natural oils like jojoba, argan, and coconut oil can hydrate and balance your skin, especially if it's dry or dehydrated.

   Healthy hair needs a good balance of cleansing, conditioning, and occasional deep treatments.

26. Overuse of heat styling tools can damage hair  

   Excessive use of straighteners, curling irons, or blow dryers can weaken hair, leading to breakage and split ends.

27. You can use sunscreen on your lips  

   Your lips are just as susceptible to UV damage, so use a lip balm with SPF.

28. Exercise helps your skin look better  

   Regular physical activity promotes blood circulation, helping nutrients reach the skin and boosting its appearance.

29. Clean makeup brushes prevent breakouts  

   Dirty brushes can transfer bacteria to your skin, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. Clean them regularly!

30. You should tailor your skincare routine to your skin type  

   Knowing your skin type (oily, dry, sensitive, etc.) helps you choose products that work best for your skin.

31. A balanced diet includes healthy fats  

   Omega-3 fatty acids found in foods like salmon and avocados can help keep your skin moisturized and supple.

32. Good skincare isn’t just about products, but lifestyle  

   Healthy habits like drinking water, getting enough sleep, and managing stress contribute to great skin.

33. Antioxidants protect the skin from damage  

   Ingredients like vitamin E, green tea, and resveratrol help protect the skin from environmental stressors.

34. Non-comedogenic makeup is ideal for acne-prone skin  

   Non-comedogenic products are formulated to not clog pores, making them better for those prone to breakouts.

35. You need to wear makeup that suits your skin tone  

   Choosing makeup shades that match your natural complexion ensures a more flattering and natural look.

36. The right skincare routine can prevent premature aging  

   Using products with ingredients like retinoids, peptides, and antioxidants can slow down signs of aging.

37. Hydrating your skin is just as important as moisturizing  

   Moisturizing locks in hydration, while hydration adds moisture to the skin for a plump and healthy appearance.

38. Your scalp needs care, too  

   A healthy scalp promotes healthy hair, so use scalp treatments and avoid harsh ingredients that can cause irritation.

39. Pimples can be caused by wearing tight clothing or accessories  

   Friction from hats, scarves, or tight clothing can irritate the skin and cause breakouts.

40. Regularly changing your pillowcase helps reduce acne  

   Pillowcases can collect bacteria, oil, and dirt from your skin, so switching them out often can help prevent breakouts.

41. Makeup has a shelf life  

   Cosmetics lose their effectiveness over time and can harbor bacteria. Keep track of expiration dates for safe use.

42. A healthy scalp promotes better hair growth  

   A clean, balanced scalp allows hair follicles to grow freely and healthily.

43. You should use sunscreen in every season  

   Sun exposure happens year-round, so sunscreen is essential no matter the weather.

44. Moisturizer helps makeup last longer  

   A good moisturizer hydrates the skin, providing a smooth base for makeup application.

45. Not all oils are good for your face  

   Some oils, like mineral oil, can clog pores, so it’s important to choose oils suited for your skin type.

46. Consuming antioxidants can protect your skin from inside  

   Foods like berries, nuts, and dark chocolate are packed with antioxidants that fight free radicals and keep your skin youthful.

47. Vitamins like A, C, and E improve skin texture  

   These vitamins help reduce fine lines, increase collagen production, and brighten skin.

48. Hair health depends on overall health  

   Stress, lack of nutrition, and poor sleep can all contribute to hair loss or dull hair. Take care of your body for better hair results.

49. The right makeup tools make all the difference  

   Using the right brushes or sponges helps blend makeup seamlessly and improves the final result.

50. A healthy gut leads to better skin  

   Gut health plays a role in your skin’s appearance. A balanced diet full of fiber, probiotics, and vitamins supports both.

Interview With Fashion Stylist Jana Meister

Hi There, my style-savvy readers! Do you ever wonder what a fashion stylist does all day? And have you ever dreamed of starting your own style blog but had no clue where to begin? Well, meet someone who cracked the code—Jana Meister!   


Picture Provided By Jana Meister

Back in 2012, Jana turned her love for fashion into JANA STYLE® Blog. Let’s just say things escalated in a very glamorous way. 💃✨🌟

We’re talking features in InStyle Magazine, her face on a Macy’s billboard in NYC (yes, right there in Times Square, where tourists take blurry selfies), and even a spot in the Today Show’s style guide! 😲🏙️📸

Meanwhile, I consider it a major achievement if I leave the house without mismatched socks. 😆🧦📸  

I asked Jana the same questions I always throw at my interviewees. Who knows, maybe this time I’ll stumble upon the secret formula for blogging stardom. 🤔📚✨

A genius tip here, a little insider knowledge there… Next thing you know, my blog will be swarming with new followers and fabulous people begging to be interviewed! 😎📈🌟

If I were a spring chicken living in America, I’d know exactly what to do. That ship has sailed—no spring chicken sitting on the other end of this laptop. 🐥💻⏳  

Still, it’s never too late to learn a trick or two from the pros. Now then, grab a cup of tea (or something stronger, I won’t judge) and let’s dive into Jana’s story! ☕📖✨

What is your name, function and the company you work for?  

Jana Meister, Blogger & Fashion Stylist // Jana Style Blog

How old are you?

40

What kind of work do you do or what are you studying to be? 

I am a Kansas City, MO based blogger and stylist. I started my blog after I graduated from college back in 2012. I wanted to get into the commercial styling industry, so I created Jana Style Blog as a portfolio of all the projects, fashion events, trends, and styled outfits that I loved.

After college I volunteered for several fashion shows and was starting to meet people in the industry. I documented all the fun and amazing projects I had worked on because I was hoping that I could use my blog to connect with brands and people in the industry for a job. That journey has now led me to my own styling business, blog, and influencer marketing platform for the past 13 years! 

What made you decide to become a Fashion Stylist? Tell me about your journey. 

My career in fashion started when I was just out of High School, I graduated and went to college but wasn’t sure what career path I wanted to take. I started working at a local Maurices store and quickly fell in love with putting together outfits and helping clients find clothing that made them feel their best.

I became really passionate about working in the industry and started to network and volunteer for as many things as I could. Eventually I was able to start to build a portfolio of commercial styling and even began doing some one-on-one personal styling. 

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Fashion is very important to me. It’s a creative outlet and a passion to inspire other woman to feel confident in their clothes. I truly believe when you look your best you feel your best!

I love to share new fashion trends, colors, and styles through my blog by writing and also through video creation and photography. Fashion brings me a lot of joy and gives me a tool to share my passion with others. 

Picture Provided By Jana Meister

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

I have been really lucky throughout my blogging and styling journey. I think I started my blog and Instagram at a really good time; it was before so many other people had started to explore sharing fashion through online platforms.

I connected with a niche group of followers who loved a similar style as me and wanted to see clothing worn on “real” body shapes. I dress for the everyday woman and that has helped me to connect online and offline with clients and followers. 

My love for writing, creating outfits, and also my interest in marketing, photography, and digital media has also helped me to achieve some of my bigger goals. I have networked in my local fashion community and met people who support my business and my blog locally.

I have also traveled and attended fashion events in other cities like San Diego, Dallas, New York, and Palm Springs. I also joined industry organizations like Fashion Group International which gave me connections in the fashion and interior design industry across the country.

Don’t be afraid to reach out to potential clients, brands, bloggers, photographers, and other business owners who you would like to work with. Collaboration is a key to success in any business. 

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

I’ve always dreamed of having my own collection or collaboration line of accessories, shoes, and handbags. I LOVE to accessorize my outfits and this would be something that would be amazing to do one day! Send me the good vibes, I really want to make this happen!! 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing or jewelry?

I wouldn’t say I am someone who shops for brand names. I personally like to shop for quality. I want my clothing and accessories to last over time and be an investment that can be worn over multiple seasons. I do gravitate towards brands that make quality items and value the quality of their clothing pieces and accessories.

Describe your personal style of fashion?

My personal style is comfy, casual, and chic with an occasional girly dressed up look. I love feminine dresses and skirts, but I also love a simple casual look with comfy jeans and a dressy top.

I love accessories! I think a whole outfit can be put together by adding a pretty necklace, some earrings, and a great handbag. Don’t forget a cute pair of sunglasses! 

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

I would definitely say that my blog has helped me to find my personal style and also has helped me to evolve my style over time. Taking photos of your outfits as frequently as I do really help you to see what styles are most flattering on your body.

I also have learned what fits my body shape, what colors look good on me, and also how to style certain pieces. Taking photos of my outfits has also given me the ability to document the way I style things so I can remember my favorite looks. I don’t think that I have a specific signature look, but I am always a girly girl. I love pink, pastel shades, and any kind of feminine styles.

Picture Provided By Jana Meister

In what way do you influence other people’s fashion style?

I love to share upcoming trends, colors, and celebrity fashions through my blog, on-air morning news segments, and on my social media channels.

I research runway trends, featured styles, and colors, many seasons before they make it to mainstream fashion. Trend research is something I have always been interested in and love to explore as a tool to share with my followers. 

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

I have been loving the return of bright colors, the mix of feminine and sporty styles, wide leg jean trends, and the return of the ballet flat shoes. 

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

Right now, the trend I most want to see go is the overly baggy and extremely loose clothing trend. I love a wide leg style and an oversized jacket or sweater, but I also love a clean tailored look.

I feel like balance in an outfit is important and I also think dressing to enhance your body shape in a flattering way is ideal. It’s hard for me to style the extremely oversized looks – I hope this trend is on its way out.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Fashion is meant to be fun, don’t take it too seriously. If you love something wear it! So many times, we get into our own heads about what we should and shouldn’t be wearing. Always wear clothes that make you feel good!! 

Who is your style icon, and why?

I have had many style icons over the years, I always love to look for inspiration in magazines, TV shows, red carpet and runway looks, and of course other bloggers. I love Lauren Conrad, Rachel Zoe, Princess Diana and bloggers like @kendieveryday and @krystin_lee

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

A few of my favorite spring styles include, flowy fun dresses, wide leg pants, embroidered details, wedge sandals, and sleek sneakers!

Interview with Jewelry DesignerTeleigha Peavy

Hi There, my gem-loving readers! Have you ever seen a piece of jewelry and thought, “Wow, this is so pretty—maybe I should be a jewelry designer!”? Ah, perhaps you are more like a little dragon, collecting every shiny gemstone because, well, they’re just too beautiful to resist?


Picture provided by Teleigha Peavy

I have to admit—I’m the second type. My love for gemstone jewelry started when I was a little girl. I got a pink quartz ring, and oh boy, I felt like a princess! 👸💖💍  

Maybe I already knew that pink quartz is the stone of love (or maybe I just liked pink). My dad also had an entire collection of beautiful gemstones on his bookshelf, and I loved staring at them, wondering if they had magic inside. 🤔🔮📚  

That’s why I was so excited to talk to Teleigha Peavy. She also loved jewelry but never thought of herself as a jewelry designer—until people kept asking her if she was one! One person even told her, You should be! Well, when life gives you a hint that big, you kinda have to listen. 😲💡💬  

Now here’s the twist—when Teleigha first made her own jewelry, the paint started chipping off. (Oh no!) She wanted something that would never fade, so she started learning about gemstones. 😱🎨🚫  

She read about their healing powers and even found them in the Bible! That’s when she realized: *Okay, okay, I get it! I can’t run from this—this is my destiny!* 😌🙏📖  

Ok then, grab your favorite gemstone (or a cookie, that works too) and get ready to hear Teleigha’s amazing story about following her passion and creating stunning gemstone jewelry! 😃💎🍪  

Picture provided by Teleigha Peavy

What is your name, function and the company you work for?  

I'm Teleigha Peavy, Jewelry designer for L.Signature Collection by L.Styles

How old are you?

I am 37 years young.

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I’m the Principal accountant at my own accounting and consulting firm, and a Senior Accountant at a CPA firm. 

What made you decide to become a Jewelry Designer? Tell me about your journey.

My journey into jewelry design began thanks to my grandmother, who is a true Southern Belle. She always believed that women should wear jewelry, especially earrings, and I used to get in trouble for not appreciating it as much—after all, I was a tomboy growing up.

However, after I had my first child, I needed something to help me avoid falling into postpartum. I had to stay strong and alert for my baby, and one way I found to uplift myself was by dressing up, including matching jewelry. 

It made me feel better both inside and out, and eventually, I grew to love jewelry. Now, you can't stop me from wearing unique pieces! My journey from reluctant wearer to passionate designer has been deeply personal, and it’s what drives me to create pieces that make others feel just as special.

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Fashion is definitely important to me, but it's more about being able to rock your own style and define what fashion means to you. 

My concept is simple: 'What works for you works for you.' I believe in daring to be different and unique—fashion is all about creativity and being true to yourself. That’s what makes it so powerful. 

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them? 

My successes include being featured in fashion shows, articles, and earning rewards in both of my businesses. 

These achievements didn't happen overnight; they took a combination of teamwork, consistency, faith, and determination. 

It’s been a journey of perseverance, and I’m grateful for the support and effort that have brought me to where I am today.

Picture provided by Teleigha Peavy

What’s something you might want to do in the future? 

In the future, I definitely want to do more fashion shows. I haven’t done one in a while, and I’m eager to get back into that world. It’s an exciting way to showcase my designs and connect with people who share a passion for fashion.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing or jewelry? 

Not at all. When I buy jewelry from other brands, I focus on the uniqueness and whether it's something eye-catching. The brand name isn't important to me—what matters is finding pieces that stand out and resonate with my personal style.

Describe your personal style of fashion?

My personal style is a blend of comfort and chic. I prioritize pieces that feel good to wear while still allowing me to express my individuality. 

You'll often see me in long maxi dresses, joggers with heels, and wide-leg pants—styles that accommodate my shape and size while still looking polished. 

My signature look includes a hat, layered necklaces, stacked bracelets, a V-neck t-shirt, jeans, and heels. I love how these elements come together to create an effortless yet put-together vibe that represents who I am.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

I found my personal style by focusing on what makes me feel comfortable and confident. Over time, I realized that I gravitate towards pieces that are both functional and stylish, which led me to embrace long maxi dresses, joggers with heels, and wide-leg pants. 

These choices suit my shape and size while allowing me to express my personality.
As for a signature look, I definitely have one. I love to wear a hat, layered necklaces, stacked bracelets, a V-neck t-shirt, jeans, and heels. This combination feels like 'me'—it's a mix of casual and chic that I can wear anywhere and still feel my best.

Do you have an influence on other people’s fashion style?

I don't know if I do, but I hope that through L-Styles LLC, I inspire people to embrace their unique style with confidence. 

My goal is to create pieces that resonate with individuals and empower them to express themselves authentically. If my designs encourage someone to take pride in their personal fashion choices, then that's a wonderful bonus.

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

In my eyes, the best trends at the moment are collar shirts and jeans. This classic combination is versatile, stylish, and effortlessly chic. It's a trend that anyone can wear and make their own, which is why I love it so much. It’s a perfect example of how simplicity can make a powerful fashion statement.

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

In my eyes, the worst trends at the moment are lingerie-looking clothing worn in public or crocs with everything. Lol. While fashion is all about self-expression, some trends just don't resonate with me. I believe in finding a balance between comfort and style, and sometimes, certain trends push that a little too far.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

My advice is simple: Don't change your style because someone may not like it. Fashion is a personal journey, and it's about expressing who you are. 

Stay true to yourself, wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable, and let your style reflect your individuality. Authenticity is always in fashion.

Who is your style icon and why?

I don't have a single style icon, as I believe inspiration can come from many different sources. 

My designs at L-Styles LLC are influenced by a blend of diverse cultures, art, nature, and the everyday people who confidently express their unique styles. I find beauty in individuality and creativity, which is what drives me to create pieces that allow others to define their own fashion narrative.
