There was no getting up this morning. Let’s just say sleeping appears to be for the birds, since there was an entire flock singing outside my window at 3am. Make no mistake – I’m “up”…took our daughter to school, checked emails, I’m getting ready to walk the dogs. But I’m … Continue reading
You know how much I love my BB creams. Acting as everything from moisturizers to SPF to tints, they take all-in-one to the next level. Let’s just say I’ve found my BB cream of fashion–the Jia Collection. Sure, I’m late the table. Oprah has already oohed and aahed over Jia’s … Continue reading
