I recently have developed a fascination with skin care products. We can say it has probably come from the amount of skin care bloggers I watch on YouTube and follow on social media (check out Allegra Shaw on Youtube). I have been curious about spending more money on these higher end products, and if they have … Continue reading Things I buy – Aesop Parsley Seed Eye Cream

One thing I have learned about my body type is … Continue reading What I Eat as a Vegan to Stay Energised.
