I’m Mariyam, a twenty-something ambivert, skincare coach, and the writer behind this blog. I started The Beautyholic in 2015 to share my passion for beauty, wellness, and mindful living—with a personal twist.
What began as a creative outlet has now grown into a trusted beauty blog for women or anyone looking for honest skincare product reviews, budget-friendly DIYs, and tips rooted in both science and personal experience.
💋 A Few Facts About Me
I’m a Sociology graduate with a postgraduate degree in Early Childhood Development, a certified skincare coach with 10 years of experience—and a Capricorn who thrives on to-do lists and dreaming up ideas.
When I’m not writing or reviewing products, you’ll likely find me:
🐾 playing with my cat (and other neighborhood furry friends)
📚 reading self-help and nonfiction books
🌿 going on long nature walks
💪 pushing myself at the gym or doing Zumba (fitness is my latest obsession!)
💕Filling up my cup with self-love
I believe in energy, elegance, and choosing skincare over layers of makeup—though I’ll never say no to a new lipstick.
Beauty facts about me:
- Skin type: Oily
- Hair: Black, straight with oily scalp and dry ends
- Skin tone: MAC NC45
- Beauty style: Minimalist beauty routines > full glam any day
