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.

Falling Back in Love with Aveeno: The Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Cream Review
I’ll be honest – I was not the biggest fan of Aveeno. When I tried it nearly 10 years ago, I felt it didn’t moisturize and even though I grabbed it at the dollar store, I felt it wasted my money and was a “cheap” brand. (You can guess how surprised I was to learn…

Forget what you’ve heard about brazilian waxes – an honest bikini waxing experience
