Are y’all as nutso over Yes To products as I am? I LOVE that you can find their goodies at Target, LOVE that they’re super affordable, LOVE that they have products for baby bubs as well, and I LOVE that they have special plant and fruit-based formulas for every skin type. [...]
You know how your skin looks after you get a full on 10 hours of sleep? Me neither. I have a kid. I haven’t slept in 3 ½ years + 9 mos. But guess what? Thanks to Mineral Fusion we can fake it! This shizzy is fo reazzie. They are on a Mineral Mission and [...]

I met [...]
I know it’s not summer yet, but shiiiiiot, it’s gettin’ toasty up in dis biatch!

Here’s my list of [...]
Subscription boxes are all the rage, and I totally get it!
