Bubbles make everything better: e.l.f. Hydrating Bubble Mask review

Lately I’ve been masking like whoa. It’s such a great way to treat and pamper the skin and sneak in a little relaxation at the same time. From snail mucus to seaweed, I’ve basically been spring cleaning my face several times a week. My only rule is: no boring, run of the mill masks allowed….

The Body Shop Almond Milk and Honey Body Care Collection

The Body Shop Almond Milk and Honey Body Care Collection

The Body Shop has been one of my favorite brands since I was a pre-teen. In the terrifyingly dark days before the internet and online shopping, my BFF and I would pour through The Body Shop catalogue, planning our purchases.
