BACK TO THE BLOG…

Back to it after a little break...

CHANGING MINDSET…

Late again with this post, although this time I have a pretty good excuse. My parents were in Paris the last five days and I’ve been spending most of my time with them. Just ignore the fact I had planned to write this BEFORE they came out. I’m also writing this in-between mouthfuls of mini …

SKIN DEEP..?

For today’s post I’m going a little off topic. For this week I’m pushing pause on the Paris life updates and talking about something very close to my heart. Skin. To be precise, acne. Towards the end of last year a well-known beauty blogger known as My Pale Skin, real name Em Ford posted this …
