We just LOVED the smell. When you open up the wipes pack you get a refreshing smell of watermelon. Close your eyes and you can pretend you are outside on … [Read more...]

What followed ended up being the worst pedicure and manicure experience I've ever had. … [Read more...]

Yay for spring!  It's still feeling pretty winter here in Philly but I'm just psyched it's "officially" spring because hopefully that means warmer weather is on the way.  I definitely have winter makeup that doesn't work in the spring and summer and vice versa summer makeup that doesn't work in cold weather months.  Do you guys?

I always … [Read more...]
