Reviewing Live Tinted’s Hueguard 3-in-1 Mineral Sunscreen & Huegloss Lip Gloss
As someone who doesn’t know how to properly apply make-up (I didn’t start wearing make-up until I was in university!), I like to keep my routine very minimal, easy, and affordable.

I Gave Up Earning $24,000 Per Year on My Blog—and I Don’t Regret It

Welcoming 2025
Goodbye 2024, and hello 2025! Growing up, I had a love/hate relationship with New Year’s resolutions.
