BeautyMe with Charisse Kenion Ep. 99: Discovering the joy of beauty with legendary beauty blogger Felicia Walker
I’m beyond excited to introduce this week’s guest. I have been an avid fan and follower of Felicia Walker, AKA ThisThatBeauty for almost 10 years I think. I can’t remember what first enticed me to follow Felicia but I knew that I related to her, as a beauty journo, as a woman of colour in the beauty world, and as someone who has dealt with different skin issues at different times in my life. Although I should point out that Felicia’s only skin issue is that it’s RIDICULOUSLY glowy. While influencers and makeup artists might have been getting into dewy skin over the past few years, Felicia was always an advocate for that really lit from within skin.
As someone who began blogging about beauty back in 2008, more so as a vehicle for her to solve her own skin issues, Felicia is beauty business royalty; she is relatable, she is real and she is ageing backwards!
We cover a lot of ground in this episode. We discuss why finding the right skincare is an evolutionary process that cannot be prescribed by an influencer and of course I HAD to ask her about her own skincare regime and I promise she gives all the deets. As with all of my guests, I try to find out where Felicia first encountered beauty and I loved hearing her talk of the joy of discovery as she walked down the aisles of her local beauty supply store.
Thanks so much for listening. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did! Please do give Felicia a follow @thisthatbeauty and please tag me @beautymepodcast and let me know you’re listening!
