WEEKLY VLOG| back to sew ins, trying new makeup & making osso bucco | Octavia B

WELCOME BACK
I’m a little late, I know. I was considering not posting because I barely did anything and did a horrible job vlogging but this year I’m really trying to not be that hard on myself about posting because to be honest it’s not even that serious lol. I know you guys would appreciate a video regardless. Hope you enjoy!

[@amyk3020]

I adore a natural makeup look and you nailed it....even the eyes and I agree Bobbi has some great products. Love to hear your accent come through, giving the island vibes. I have to say that the longer sew in looks so natural. You are blessed to have such a great stylist. Thanks for sharing and have a super time in my neck of the woods NYC

[@OctaviaB]

Thank you so much!!

[@tarnishermack94]

1 shade lighter on the under eye powder, and blend the color corrector like your life depends on it. It can blend through the foundation. Love that you said start where your budget begins, I put an away my Apple watch a few months ago and went bag to my watch collection. I need to add a couple more white shirts. You’re killing it❤

[@OctaviaB]

Thank you

Not you listening to the diss tracks , I have them on replay , so entertaining

[@daphneedouard5254]

Hi - what’s the name of that song??

[@OctaviaB]

lol why not me? But they were very entertaining. It reminds me so much of vybz Kartel & Movado days and the excitement you would feel until they each would release a new song.

I think you'd enjoy some Korean beef noodles. They are well spiced and so comforting

[@OctaviaB]

I need to learn how to make them

[@cantwaitevents]

Wait you’re in Atlanta now??? I gotta catch up

[@OctaviaB]

I’m not anywhere to be honest, I’m between states lol

[@mokiera2397]

Have you been using your light mask? Your skin looks great! I don't have the expensive light mask, but my first one has red-blue-orange/yellow, and my new one also has green light, which apparently is good for hyper pigmentation. I got it from Macys. Either way, the first one helped my skin plenty, and I do see benefit from the new one with the green light too, but I should probably use it more often to really get the full effects. Here's to continuing to love ourselves more in 2024

[@OctaviaB]

I haven’t used in a while actually but I’ve been leaving my skin alone lately and things have been working out

[@mokiera2397]

@@OctaviaB Yes, same actually that was my first step that made a big difference -- I left my skin alone. But I'm still in NYC so I make my best effort to be consistent with the blue light because the environmental yuck out here is built different. lol. Thank you, as always, for being so open and transparent about your journey 💞

[@na_ladyliz5055]

Whats the name of the song she's singing in the car? Girl, I understand why its so difficult for you to break up with sew ins, because honestly you look nice!! A sew in on you really slaps, its giving classy, its giving feminine, its beautiful. I think the reason it damages your hair is because you dye, relax and apply a lot of heat to the leave out. I really hope you master the maintenance and come give us tips🙃. But baby you look sooo beautiful in a jet black sew in❤

[@tamerab3124]

We miss sew-in Octavia 😍! What’s the color of your nail polish hun?
