Featuring Maleys: All Star Products REVEALED

Artist Spotlight, ATL, Atlanta, Beauty, Beauty, Cosmetics, Enhancements, NELLIEL Approved, Reviews, Wishlist

I’ve been keeping a secret from you all.

I use Maleys and I love them. Have you heard of this line of products? They are products that have been crafted to assist women with preserving the longevity of their beauty. I do not have anything negative to say about this brand, whatsoever. I have written about a number of beauty products on this blog – but this brand is definitely an all star. I cannot speak to all of the products, however. I want to encourage all of you to give them a try – I would even say that they are open to suggestions if you do not see a product that suits your needs. All the products listed below are faves, however, I have starred the products that I have purchased again and again.

B-TIGHT Lift & Firm Booty Mask *****

THIS mask. Of all the products this company offers, this one mask is my absolute favorite. It so great at smoothing and lifting. I workout consistently, however, it is a great boost to my workouts as it enhances the effects of the workouts. I give this mask a 1000/1000. The peppertree alone does wonders. I promise you – please be aware that this mask STINGS. It is just proof that it is working.

RE-LURE

Again, another great smoothing product. There are a number of serums, however, this is the one that I choose again and again. It is full of hyaluronic acid – this acid is so important, not only for our faces, but for our bodies, as well. Hyaluronic acid promotes a youthful appearance. I’m also a very big fan of this serum formula – I love serums, so smooth and silky.

TOO-REVIVED Brightening Eye Cream

One of my favorite online derms said that eye creams are not necessary, and though I do agree, I feel as though this one is pretty good. A few years ago, I noticed that I had dark under eyes and I believe that utilizing this cream really helped. Honestly, I feel as though this team has put a lot of effort into addressing the issues that women face on a daily basis – trying to make being high maintenance less work. Cause, being high maintenance is a lot of work, truly.

B-Perky Lift & Firm Breast Mask *****

Words cannot describe how great this mask is. I’ll never forget the first time I used this mask and how lucious my boobies looked every time I used it. I know that when coupled with my bench press, this has greatly aided in the suppleness of my chest. This mask has some really great benefits. I encourage you to give it a try. I know that the consistency might seem a bit like a lotion, but the mask is so much more than that.

TOO-POUTY Clinically Proven Lip Plumping Mask *****

I’m always a big fan of volulip products – I think that they are very moisturizing and this is a great product. The consistency is really nice and it is very pleasant to apply. The flavor isn’t bad either. I feel as though my lips have plumped up quite a bit due to this product. If you aren’t into this one, I also recommend GrandeLip.

Nelliel Approved for sure.

Best Of “Purchases of the year”

ATL, Atlanta, Dining In, Dining Out, Eateries, NELLIEL Approved, Recipes, Reviews

I decided to write these throughout the year instead of towards the end of the year – I think that these are more fun when posted periodically instead. Have a preference? Let me know.

Have any of you heard of the Ninja Possible Cooker? This has changed the cooking game for me – mostly as it pertains to dishes. I know, we live in the 21st century – I have a dishwasher just waiting to be installed, but until then, I always have a slew of dirty dishes waiting to be washed after cooking. Even when I do get this dishwasher installed, I can’t say that I will use it that much, the water bills in Atlanta have been off the chain as of late.

Now that I’m at home full time, I cook just about every meal – washing dishes is very time consuming and not fun. Also, if I have a depressive episode, the dishes can sit for far too long. My ninja has changed up the amount of work I have to do after eating a quick and lovely meal. I highly recommend this item, not only because of the vast amount of settings it has, but also because of how large it is and how easy it is to clean. Thank you, Ninja – I no longer deal with a crazy amount of pots and pans. I’ve cooked greens in it, I’ve pan-fried meat, fried eggs, and made pasta meals. I got mine for a deal – 99.00 in the stone color. I have the instant pot, which will be transitioning to my business, but I never used it. This one is more my vibe.

“Best Of” Perfumes

Atlanta, Beauty, Cosmetics, Data Science, Lupe Fiasco, Michael B Jordan, NELLIEL Approved, Pharrell Williams, Reviews, Wishlist

What are some of my favorite perfumes? I was asked this after sharing that delicious smell good from Michaels. If you have not checked it out, you really should. The delicious, sweet, macintosh apple scent tickles my nose – leaving me with such delight. The scent is too good to pass up – me and God have some really great plans for this.

If I were to share my favorite perfumes with the world, I would list the below. As I generally get very bad migraines, I do not typically wear much fragrance, however, I do enjoy the ones listed while wearing consciously.

Splendide by Chanel (Chance line)

This scent is HANDSDOWN my absolute favorite perfume and Chanel fragrance. It is too good to pass up. I’m also a fan of the Tendre scent. Purple and Pink are a yes in every way. There is now a 5.0 Oz available for $227, and I think that this is a very good deal for this perfume. If you have not smelled it, check it out at Sephora or Macy’s before spending the money on it as it is not a good fit for everyone. I generally do not like very floral scents, so I consider this perfume to be a nice harmony of fruit, gourmand, and floral. I’d even call this a more adult version of Sol De Janiero.

I want Choo by Jimmy Choo

This is a very close runner up to the above perfume. The two perfumes smell very different but hit my register in a similar way, in terms of uplifting my spirit. The notes within the fragrance are quite happy and I do hope that the scent lifts the spirits of those around. I think that this could also be considered to be a more adult version of the Sol De Janiero line. Please note that this is due to the similarly featured products within the perfume.

Honorable mentions:

Eilish by Billie Eilish – I really like all of the perfumes that Billie has released. My absolute favorite, however, is the 2nd one. I love how deep and sultry it is. I’m not sure that I can smell the 3rd one as well as I would like, however, the fir needle, is really lovely. The 1st one released is always a win with that sweet vanilla scent.

Clinique Happy – This is something that I will always love. It is very floral to be when I compare it to the remainder of my perfume preferences, however, it is something that I will always enjoy.

ODELL RETIRED?!

ATL, Atlanta

Nooo.

I wanted to eventually see him play for us, in Atlanta.

Inserts picture of ODELL. Heart eyes. 🙂

Something… BAE

This is a NSFW post.

I’m going to share just one image before the below, but be sure to look beyond it to view what it has produced.

Something tangible, beautiful, fragile, and small. This type of work hearkens back to my early years, elementary school – I loved working with plaster. I am so thankful that I had a mommy and a daddy that encouraged me creatively, scientifically, scholastically, and other asticallys – they did not try to force me to be like everyone else.

It is more mature, so if you are at work viewing my website somewhere that this is forbidden, please take caution, as I do post NSFW as I please.

I think this type of work will help to shape the brand beautifully.

I do still need some work and am looking for jobs that I can do part time – I do have a few lives to support, but praise GOD, I am fine right now.

“Best Of” – UNEXPECTED smell goods

ATL, Atlanta, BAE, Beauty, Beauty, Cosmetics, Hair

I really had to share this with my net besties. As I am building a brand that I hope will be quite amazing, I had to share something so good. Too good, to keep to myself. It is this:

I will not share many things about the inner workings of my business, however, this was something that I feel God impressed upon me to share. The scent is so calming – yet very uplifting and delightful. I cannot get enough of it. If you have ever smelled it, let me know your thoughts on it.

If you can find it, grab it. I found this in the soap aisle at Michaels, I’m pretty sure they only stock it there.

Michael B Jordan + Vogue = Masterpiece!

Michael B Jordan, NELLIEL Approved

I just wanted to share these amazing images from Michael’s Vogue shoot. I love how atmospheric they are. Especially this first one. All credits and rights with Vogue.

I’m particularly fond of the one where Michael is in the tub, however, I am unable to get one from IG on my laptop. I believe that the physical copy of the magazine will hit shelves at the end of the week – I’ll definitely be heading to my local Barnes & Noble to get a copy!

I also really loved this questions video – they are always so good!

The Ordinary Favorites

Atlanta, Beauty, Lupe Fiasco, Michael B Jordan, NELLIEL Approved, Pharrell Williams

I have a list of skincare favorites from the ordinary – I’ve been a loyal user of this brand for YEARS. My skin has never been better as I approach my 40s and I am so happy that I use it. The products are such great quality and price. I think that if you have Pharrell level skincare goals, but NOT Pharrell level skincare budget, this post is for you. 😉

Lactic Acid – This ingredient used to be sooo hard to get your hands on before this brand launched, however, it has made my skin’s appreance top tier. I highly recommend this item, that is why it is listed first. I use the 10% version, as I Acid max, – and my skin looks like it. There is also some hyaluronic acid in it, which I think is a great 1, 2 for the skin. Definitely a big big BANG for the bucks.

Tharrr she be. The skincare product love of my life. This used to cost 7 dollars but is now sitting at 10.

Glycolic Acid – this is a runner up to the lactic acid. The molecules are larger so they do not absorb as easily, however, it is a great product and I used it heavily before I was acquainted with lactic acid. Many were using this product as a scalp exfoliator and as a deodorant replacement. Pretty great deal for 13 bucks!

AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peel – This peel helped me to fine tune my skin even further – this was initially popularized by TikTok many years ago – the red is really off putting, however, the results are so worthwhile. If you have very sensitive skin, I would take it slowly, however, if you are able to handle it, I do highly recommend. This peel is not quite as high as others I have had, however, my skin definitely appreciates it.

Update: Matrixly and Niacinamide are very, very important to my routine and skincare maintenance as well.

Pharrell’s skin. OMG.

The Ordinary Product Runner ups:

I use all of these as well.

Volufiline

MultiPeptide Copper Serum

Multipeptide Hair Serum for Density

Salicylic Acid

Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner

I have not yet tried this product, but will hopefully give it a try in the near future. It is an eye cream.

Dearest Ryan,

Coogler, btw. And Zinzi. I rode by the High Museum today as I was out purchasing for my business.

[Uh. I need a job, btw. 😉 ]

As I rode by the High, I thought of Black Panther, mostly, because I heard the news. Good? Bad? I dunno.

I see that you have chosen to recast Michael B. Jordan, one of my loves. That is what has prompted his open letter to be penned to you, kind Hollywood director, and super producer, wife. Please do as I have asked – though quite outlandish. 🙂

I have been a big fan of his and, yours, since CREED I. Wow, am thankful that movie exists. Michael is SO CUTE. In fact, I would go back even further, back to that movie with Zac Efron – yes, I do not remember the name of said film, but I knew then, that he was very, very cute. Update – after a quick search, the movie is called, That Awkward Moment.

Michael likes ice cream, too. I recommend, this.

But CREED cinched it for me. Yes. Creed aside, which is so, so good, I mean, really – for you to have been so novice, it came out so well. I know how hard it was to get the movie made (I have watched all of the ROCKY films and I think you made a good choice with the development of the CREED character). Really, I was very enthusiastic about your start in Hollywood. As you have received so many accolades for Fruitvale, I will not go into further details on that, however, that film is quite, quite good, too.

Michael is really talented at playing crazies.

Have you seen this?

Both of you, and Michael, are on the list.

I have reviewed the work that is forthcoming and, though I am excited (OMG – Michael, Thomas Crown Affair is top of my list next year. Just so you know, I’m going to watch both of the older films just so that I can have a healthy respect for what you have taken on. I’m sure that there is some interesting twist to the film as you are a very creative man.)

Anyway, back to Ryan. I know that are very busy. All those award wins and business meetings. Writing scripts, kids, lovely wife.

I have one ask. If you keep making Black Panther movies and shows – can you make a Kilmonger movie? This character needs more justice than just a few lines in a film, and Michael was in his mid to late 20s when he starred initially – as a visual person, and though Michael is very healthy and looks great (as you know, cause you keep casting him, he is VERY handsome), he definitely looks older. How does one travel back in time while physically racing against the clock (read below to see why this is important)? Not only that, the character isn’t alive in the arcs – or as I believe, should not be. How do they, Hollywood elite, find a way out this one? The character died from a terrible stab wound. Though they do have the ability to heal just about anything in Wakanda, I’m sure that there is some secret overlap with the Xmen – Wolverine? Sabertooth? Or so we assumed, how would he have lived? And yet, somehow, the role was reprised. I have so many issues with this, not only with Hollywood, but with entertainment in general.

Make it make sense and I’m sure it will.

My proposal is that you make a film titled, “ERIK” and that it covers his upbringing and all of the obstacles he had to overcome to get to that point in BLACK PANTHER 1.

I will be your fan regardless, however, I think that would truly bring some real depth to this character beyond what could be captured in the first move. Honestly, when I recollect on the experience of watching the first film, I was kind of lost as the Kilmonger story setting happened at a very breakneck pace. Btw, I do not think that he, Michael was that scary in the first one. To me, he is like Vegeta. He is a man seeking revenge for all that wronged him life, which is inherently unpleasant, but not necessarily scary. When thinking of this within the context of the Marvel Universe, no one really knew that ERIK was doing that, but himself ( based on what I know about what was presented with the character.) I am sure that you, Mr. Coogler, talented screenwriter and notable director, with the help of MARVEL, would truly create something great for ERIK. By the way, years ago, I quickly researched him in the MARVEL Universe and he is not good looking. Much like Vegeta, in fact. I personally, prefer, Goku.

The ARMS. Enough said. As an aside, I do have some issues with Goku as a character, though. He is kind of sucky. Really. Within the context of DBZ, he is not a great man, just a great hero who is really, a man – alien – monkey? His tail was removed – okay. He is like a lesser Superman, of sorts. Superman, though, definitely dreamed of love.

I have a few theories, however, as it pertains to ERIK’s reprisal:

Perhaps the king was not so good himself. RIP Chadwick x T’Challa.

Perhaps, Erik is a mutant.

Maybe, it just needs to be fleshed out.

I could always go back and read the comics.

Ryan and, Zinzi, hopefully we can chat one day. I also hope you read my SINNERS theory. It is somewhat embedded on my threads – SMOKE. Smoke is a day walker. That man is still alive.
