You all know how much I live for fall. 🍂 There’s just something about the crisp air and golden leaves that makes me want to hit the reset button — new cozy clothes, refreshed home vibes, and updates to my beauty routines! I’ve gathered some of my favorite hair, skincare, and nail picks that are making me feel radiant as we transition into the season.
I recently pulled out my sew-ins and switched to clip-ins. My hair just needed a break. Don’t get me wrong — I adore my stylists and the magic they do with extensions — but let’s be real: extensions always do a little damage (no shame, just fact). So it’s time to reclaim and nurture my natural hair. That means I’m diving headfirst into an oiling ritual.
I’ve been experimenting with DIY treatments (yes, thanks TikTok), and I love how cost-effective and customizable they are. Pro tip: apply your oils for 3–4 hours, then rinse — don’t sleep in the oil, your scalp needs to breathe.
To get even distribution, I swear by a Root Comb Applicator Bottle. It’s technically meant for hair dye, but it’s been a game changer for placing oil precisely at the root.
Root Comb Applicator Bottle – although is is made for hair dye application it has been working GREAT for evenly distributing the hair oil at the root!
Use the below oils to create the perfect hair oil for hair growth!
Cliganic Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil – 1 oz
Cliganic Organic Jojoba Oil – 1oz
SVA Rosemary Essential Oil – 1oz
Dersie Batana Oil for Hair Growth – 1oz
Cliganic Organic Castor Oil – 1oz (this one is the thickest I suggest using this one first!)
Handcraft Blends Peppermint Essential Oil – 1oz
I love how flexible this routine is; you can adjust based on your hair’s needs that week.
I also added a leave-in serum to help with split ends and overall shine:
Cliganic Organic Argan Oil – I use this one on the ends to help with my split ends!
MONAT Rejuvabeads® Infused w/Rejuveniqe® – A Revolutionary Leave-in Split End Mender – Although I have typically stayed away from MLM brands I was seeing this ALL OVER my FYP I decided to give it a try!
Sticking on theme with the hair care I love being able to protect my hair when I am sleeping or throwing my hair up!
Kitsch Satin Pillowcase with Zipper for Hair & Skin – this is a game changer for night time!
Kitsch Satin Scrunchie – once you try these you can never go back to a normal scrunchie
Kitsch Luxury Shower Caps – my favorite shower cap when you don’t want to wash your hair
Kitsch Love & Comfort 2PC Spa Set – my absolute favorite shower cap and you MUST be using a microfiber towel after washing your hair
Even though I’m leaning into my natural texture, sometimes heat is inevitable. I always prep with a heat protectant — yes, that’s nonnegotiable. The titanium tools help minimize damage thanks to their even heat distribution. I love that these brushes are great to help grow my hair and not break my hair!

I love prepping my skin for the colder months ahead! I have found some of the best products for just that!
COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD Vitamin E Lip Moisturize – One product that would change your life! I always buy in bulk when it is on sale! I always have one in my office, car, purse and nightstand!
THAYERS Milky Face Toner – if your makeup is not lasting as long I highly recommend adding this milky toner! It is great for prepping your skin and feeling like a breath of fresh air on your skin!
medicube Collagen Jelly Cream – viral for a reason! Magic in a bottle, it is incredible! Even my husband loves this!
medicube Collagen Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Facial Mask Pack – if your skin is feeling dry this is amazing! I wear it overnight and I wake up feeling so refreshed!
e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration! – I LOVE this serum, it’s so affordable and works better than some of the more expensive ones!
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate – honestly a year round suggestion! I have been using this for years and years!
Bodycare products I love and swear by all year round!
Clean Skin Club XL Premium Face Wipes –
Lume Whole Body Deodorant – my absolute favorite that I have used for YEARS!
Lume Skin Care Gift Set for Women, Whole Body Deodorant Starter Pac – this set is amazing as a gift (or for yourself!) I love the body wipes!
My natural nail journey is also here! I have tried it allll – builder gel, acrylic, and dip! I recently went down a rabbit hole and decided I needed strong, healthy nails on their own! Whenever I would take my nails off they would become brittle and break!
Onyx Professional Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream – I have been using this cream consistently – it has truly helped my nails become so strong!
OPI Repair Mode Bond Building Nail Serum – I use this 2 times a day for 6 days. It helps so much with the splitting when I originally went on this journey!
OPI ProSpa Nail and Cuticle Oil – one of the best oils I have found for nails! I typically switch back and forth between this and the bond building nail serum
As the leaves shift from green to amber and the sweater weather officially sets in—this is my reminder that beauty isn’t just a routine, it’s a ritual. This fall, I’m not chasing quick fixes or beauty trends. I’m nourishing, restoring, and celebrating the natural versions of myself—hair, skin, nails, and all.
Whether you’re taking a break from extensions, layering your skincare, or reclaiming your natural nails, I hope these picks spark ideas and confidence for your own seasonal refresh. Trust me—your body will thank you for the tender care, and you’ll glow even brighter as the days get shorter.
