Setting the Record Straight: Powders, Sprays & What Works Best

Okay sis, let’s talk about setting your face—because after you’ve snatched that beat, the last thing you want is for it to melt off by lunchtime. So what’s the deal: setting powder or setting spray? Do you need both? Or nah?

Here’s the rundown:

Setting powders lock everything in place, control oil, and help blur texture and pores. If you’re oily, powder is your bestie—it keeps your face from looking like you ran a marathon by noon. Use it under the eyes to stop creasing or press it into your T-zone to kill shine.

Setting sprays, on the other hand, are like the topcoat to your glam. They melt all the layers together, get rid of that cakey look, and help your makeup last longer—especially in hot or humid weather (aka every Bahamian summer ever).

Do you need both? Sometimes, yes! If you’re doing a long-wear look or attending an event, lock it down with powder and seal the deal with spray. For everyday? Pick one based on your vibe. Matte girl? Go powder. Want that glow? Spray it, sis.

Bottom line: Know your skin, know your plans, and set that face like a pro. Because a flawless beat deserves a flawless finish, and that’s how you SET the WYBE!

How to Make Your Paycheck Stretch

payday hits different when you’ve got plans and bills. The key? Break your check into three: Spend, Save, Stack. Spend on needs (not wants), Save at least 10% for future-you, and Stack the rest in an emergency or investment fund. Apps like Revolut or Mint can help you track where your money’s actually going (spoiler: it’s usually food). Want to level up? Try the 24-hour rule before any impulse buy — if you still want it tomorrow, go for it. If not, you just saved some coin. Budgeting isn’t about being broke, it’s about being in control. Even small habits now can turn into big wins later. Rich isn’t a vibe — it’s a strategy.

You Don’t Have to Hustle Every Second

We live in a world that glorifies the grind, but rest is not weakness, it’s power. Burnout isn’t a badge of honor, and mental health isn’t a trend, it’s essential. If you’ve been feeling off, tired for no reason, or unmotivated, it might be time to unplug and recharge. Whether that means journaling, stepping outside, talking to a friend, or just lying down without guilt, do it. Your mind needs just as much care as your body. Social media might make it seem like everyone’s thriving 24/7, but real life has off days. And that’s okay. Protect your peace. Prioritize joy. You’re not falling behind, you’re just being human.
