kiehl’s bb cream
This butter cream is my favorite. It’s just so nice to feel like you’ve earned the right to paint your home. If you want to paint your home, it’s probably best to use the color. The same might apply to other things that you might be doing. The cream can be used in the kitchen,…

Absolutely, this is a problem especially in summer. It means we are either taking too long to get into the shower, or we are too lazy to put on our bathing suits. I am certain that more often than not, you will see me take a nice shower around here. This is a problem because…

dehydration lines vs wrinkles
We are all aware of the fact that dehydration lines can look like they are actually lines of wrinkles. We tend to believe that these lines are somehow a sign of aging, but the truth is, they don’t mean anything. Dehydration is caused by a lack of water in the body. It is not a…
