Pregnancy-Safe Skincare
As a few of you may already know, I recently underwent a massive life change. You can probably guess what that major life change is from the title of this post!

Okay, that may be a little too dramatic but to know me is to love me. Besides, I am sure that my fellow oily/combo skin people understandContinue reading “Makeup Routine for Oily Skin”
