One of my favorite categories of makeup products is mascara; I also find that it’s slightly frustrating to dispose of responsibly. I used to drop off used mascara tubes at a local store with a Terracycle box, but unfortunately, that store closed. Now, I’m looking for an alternate way to recycle and need to explore more mail-in options. As for the wands, I send them to Appalachian Wildlife Refuge’s Wands for Wildlife program. According to their website, “Old mascara wands are used to remove fly eggs and larva from the fur and feathers of wild animals. They work great because the bristles are close together.” They accept donations in October and April. How and where do you recycle mascara tubes, or for that matter, used/empty/expired makeup? I’d love to know!

As an aspiring minimalist (let’s be honest, I fail miserably sometimes), a multitasking product is a boon. Eu’Genia Shea’s shea butter is just that. Curious to hear more about founder, Naa-Sakle Akuete’s journey? Will her relationship with the word pretty touch your soul like it did mine? Head over to the blog to read the latest installment of Pretty When We Win.

My carpal tunnel got the best of me, so please excuse my Insta absence. My time away from the digiverse allowed me to do the work—that is, learn more about the Black experience through literature, film, and participating in events in my community. I struggled whether to share this at all because I don’t want it to sound like virtue signaling and take away from the subject at hand (not my intention). I humbly want to acknowledge that as an ally, I am committed to standing in solidarity, being accountable for mistakes I may (and probably will) make, and to taking action. To that end, I’m coming back on this #texturetuesday with this delicious shea butter that I bought from #blackownedbrand Eu’genia Shea. It’s incredibly rich, with 100% pure shea butter content. Between frequent hand-washing and the unexpected home improvement projects I’ve been taking on lately, this product has been a multitasking panacea for my skin woes. Want to know more? I have a special post coming up tomorrow!
