Hi, my name is Reanell Selina.
In 2010, I was a working college student who was in love with all things beauty. I was a watcher of YouTube for many years prior but was never really confident enough to make videos myself, I am sure I'm not the only person who doesn't like listening back to the sound of their own voice, LOL. But after a while, I realized there were things I wanted to say and experiment with and I also wanted to share them with people. Not to mention there were only a handful of the same Black Women at the time, that would come across my screen, Not that I didn't love and looked up to, but I also understood that MORE was needed. So, I definitely felt like there was a space for me. I was inspired by a lot of the women of color I was watching. So just went for it. I filmed most of my earlier videos on my webcam from my laptop!!! I just started talking about makeup, hauls & some simple tutorials. I gained some following then, but it wasn't until I big chopped in 2011 that my channel really started taking off and consistently growing. I don't consider myself a guru or anything, just someone who enjoys creating content. I am humbled that I've been able to grow on the platform and was able to use it in my personal life.
Doing YouTube and being in this environment for so long, inspired me and push me to go back to school to become a Licensed Esthetician. It also gave me opportunities to work with and partner with a lot of different brands. Over the years I went on to have a successful blog, that not only focused on the beauty aspect but also get into lifestyle & relationship talk.
Today, even though I am not a full-time content creator. I still post videos when I can and continue to try and keep a connection with my viewers & readers. I really wanted to RE-vamp my blog and tie it more into my YouTube as well. I want them to be a space for my viewers to feel inspired, sometimes as an escape & feel like they can relate.
I'm a mother to my beautiful daughter & a wife. I am also a business owner, RSF Esthetics, and co-own a photography business with my husband Foster Photography. I spent most of my life in New Jersey, but I now reside in Brooklyn, NY.
I loved creating content around beauty and natural hair, but also lifestyle & a hint of fashion. Lastly, you’ll have a lens into my everyday routines - everything from mom life, date nights, food, cooking, travel, and so much more.
