Fighting Boredom with Healthy Food + Creative Living
I love Valentine’s Day! It’s not only a day to celebrate my cherished relationship with my husband, but it’s also a ‘month’ whereby I celebrate my great friends. Here’s a super easy dinner to prepare for friends to say ‘thank…
I love the thought of using natural based beauty products that are also cruetly-free, but do they work? I’ve taken the following products for a spin to see if they really work. I’ve also broken down beauty ingredient basics as…
