It's been awhile since I have posted anything that wasn't food related on my blog. Things have been up in the air for awhile and baking has been one of my only constants as far as hobbies go. I quit my side gig as a make-up presenter for Younique and I am still pretty bummed about that and I just recently started having fun with make-up again after a talk/intervention with my … [Read more...] about Sol De Janiero Body Mist Review
