In this video, I’m taking you through my first soft self-care night of 2026 because I was honestly looking like a hot mess after being stuck inside during the snowstorm. It was one of those quiet reset nights where I just needed to feel put together again—hair wash day (after two weeks, yeah…), skin care, oral hygiene, and finally fresh nails. I also share the exact products I reach for and why they’ve become my go-tos, especially when my skin and hair feel extra dry in the cold. I start with washing my leave-out and bundles (I still have a sew-in that needs to come out—don’t judge), then I do some quick facial hair cleanup and my favorite bentonite clay mask that tightens up like crazy and pulls out oil/impurities. After that, it’s all about hydration: lotion, coconut oil, and my all-time favorite deodorant that I’ve been talking about for years. I finish with press-on nails (I do them last so I don’t get them wet), plus a few practical tips—like cutting open products when they’re almost empty and keeping nail glue on hand. My biggest takeaway: schedule a few self-care days a month, even if it’s just small rituals that make you feel like yourself again.
