I tried each…

On the scale of what’s important, missing your monthly skin treatment obviously won’t destroy your life, but it still sucks. Some…
Why is an evening skin care routine important?
Everyone knows that a full night’s sleep helps you wake looking younger and rested, but most don’t fully grasp how getting less than seven hours sleep a night can actually speed up the aging process.

My First Blog Post
I’ve thought about starting a blog over the past two years, but somehow those thoughts never came to fruition.

The Art of the Double Cleanse
