Image result for my beauty recipe somerset

The Korean Glass Skin trend is something that many girls and ladies want - however, search results and research have been unsatisfactory to some as most answers have pointed to skin care. Did you know? Your skin condition fluctuates based on what you eat and your lymphatic drainage, what goes to your kidney and liver, and whether you have continuous detox. Also your stress and cortisol levels! 


That is a naturalistic view towards skincare and well-being. I'm sure you must be wondering what the secret to glass skin is if you're looking for a quick fix-me-up before a big event like your wedding or birthday. The answer that many celebrities and influencers know - that I will be sharing with you today. Come on in~

Birthday Month!

Sunday, April 01, 2018


March is my birthday month and also the end of Q1 2018. Had a blast as I decided to host a last minute party for my quarter century plus some birthday.

Adventure to the Balkans Travelogue Pt. 1: Zagreb, Croatia

Hola at you readers! It's me, Sasha Bear here - and today we're FINALLY going to post about my trip to the Balkans circa Octo...

Quote I Love

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
