25 April 2009 – I got married. The day that most girls dream of from when they’re little. Wearing lace curtains or tablecloths over your head pretending it’s a train and you’re walking down the aisle to your Prince Charming to live out your happily […]
I never used to think about skincare that much. I’d grab something from Boots or the supermarket aisles and slap it on my face. I didn’t think I was old enough for anti-ageing stuff so went for hydrating mainly, not knowing how or what ingredient […]
