What Da Wybe Is? In this week’s catalog Tatyana Lockhart is giving us her top beauty secrets in this exclusive sit down with Wybe Magazine.

She may have the crown, but her glow goes way beyond the stage. Tatyana Lockhart, the recent winner of World Imperial Beauty Miss 2025, sat down with Wybe Magazine to spill her top beauty secrets from skincare hacks to confidence boosts that keep her shining. Here’s how this queen keeps her glow flawless.

1. Never sleep in your makeup
Her golden rule? “Never go to sleep with makeup on, no matter how tired you are,” she says. “Your skin needs to breathe and recover.”

2. Keep routines simple but consistent
Unlike the 10-step skincare craze, she swears by simplicity: a sulfur soap twice a day for balance and a moisturizer for hydration. “Consistency is the real secret,” she adds.

3. Affordable glow-ups exist
Forget the luxury price tags. Her go-to essential is rosewater spray: “It refreshes my skin between appearances, sets my makeup, and keeps me glowing without breaking the bank.”

4. Three products, stage-ready
When the lights are on, her survival kit is simple: eyeliner for bold eyes, a lipstick that screams confidence, and bronzer for warmth under the stage lights.

5. A fragrance that crowns the queen
Every queen has her scent, and for her, it’s Irresistible by Givenchy. “It’s feminine, playful, and elegant all at once. The moment I put it on, I feel ready to step into any room like a queen.”

6. Locs as a crown of strength
Breaking tradition, she rocks locs proudly and keeps them healthy with scalp care, natural oils, and no buildup. “Healthy locs are a crown of their own,” she says, “and I love that they carry both strength and elegance.”

7. Skincare starts from within
To prevent stress from showing on her skin, she hydrates, eats well, and exercises. “When my body feels good, my skin thanks me for it,” she explains.

8. Aloe: the all-natural hack
Her DIY beauty weapon? Aloe. “It’s soothing, hydrating, and works wonders. I love that it’s natural and straight from the earth.”

9. Strike a power pose
Confidence is as important as makeup. Before stepping out, she channels Grey’s Anatomy’s iconic Amelia-and-Derek stance. “That power pose makes me feel stronger, taller, and ready to own the stage.”

10. The ultimate glow-up secret
At the end of the day, her best advice isn’t about products at all: “Don’t ever let people tell you that you can’t do something. Confidence, discipline, and belief in yourself are the most beautiful things you can wear.”

With her crown secured and glow unmatched, Tatyana is redefining what it means to be a beauty queen proving that real radiance comes from within.

Midweek Lift

For young Bahamians and newcomers alike, selecting the right bank account can feel overwhelming. With a variety of local banks offering different account types, fees, and perks, knowing what suits your lifestyle and financial goals is key.

Most Bahamian banks offer checking and savings accounts, each with unique features. Checking accounts are ideal for daily transactions, bill payments, and debit card access, while savings accounts help grow funds with interest over time. Some banks also provide specialized accounts for students, seniors, or small business owners.

Fees are an important consideration. Monthly maintenance fees, withdrawal charges, and minimum balance requirements vary between banks. For example, some accounts waive fees if you maintain a certain balance or use online banking services regularly. Others may charge for excessive withdrawals or ATM usage.

Perks can make a difference in choosing a bank. Many Bahamian banks offer digital banking apps, mobile alerts, and easy fund transfers. Some provide rewards programs, discounted loan rates, or partnerships with local retailers. Evaluating these benefits against your banking habits can help you make a smarter choice.

When choosing an account, consider your spending habits, financial goals, and lifestyle needs. Visiting different banks, asking about hidden fees, and exploring digital options can save you money and stress in the long run.

In the end, the right account isn’t just about fees it’s about convenience, security, and tools that help you manage and grow your money in the Bahamas. Take the time to compare options, and your finances will thank you.

Color Your Stress Away

In today’s fast-paced world, stress seems unavoidable. But did you know that a simple creative activity like adult coloring can make a big difference? Adult coloring books aren’t just a fun pastime they’re a therapeutic tool that promotes relaxation, mindfulness, and mental clarity. Focusing on intricate patterns or vibrant designs helps divert your mind from worries, creating a meditative experience similar to yoga or meditation.

Beyond coloring, exploring creative outlets like painting, journaling, or crafting stimulates the brain, encourages problem-solving, and boosts self-expression. Engaging in art also triggers dopamine, the “feel-good” chemical, lifting mood and reducing anxiety. Whether you dedicate 10 minutes or an hour, these activities offer a calming escape from daily pressures, letting you recharge mentally and emotionally. So grab some colored pencils, let your imagination run free, and watch stress fade one stroke at a time.
