Vintage Florals & NYE

This season is always full of celebration and festivities of all sorts.

Makeup for the Beauty Challenged

I have gone on record many times to say how basic my “makeup routine” actually is (or lack thereof, really). Seems these days everyone is a YouTube or Instagram makeup guru/celebrity, and I’m still sopping Vaseline on my face.
