Who is your inspiration for beauty?  Growing up, I always admired my mom – I was always desperate to use her makeup and beauty products, and loved the days that she’d pull them out and we’d play around with “makeovers”.  My mom also taught me that my time would come – that I didn’t have [...]

Women with oily, acne-prone skin are lucky in one way.  We generally don’t wrinkle as easily.  However, because our skin is often heavier, it sags more.  Yay!  So, while I’ve been battled adult acne, I’ve started to notice that my face has lost some of it’s firmness, and I’d really like to start counteracting anti-aging [...]
