So cozy up as we dive into the going ons of January!

Makeup, makeup, makeup - Do you still remember the moment as a young girl that you first thought about putting on makeup?

As a female, makeup definitely impacted you a way or other while you were growing up - suddenly, there was a way to cover up your imperfections and look better. As the years went by, you slowly developed a makeup routine that you're comfortable with, and boy oh boy - it takes a while to put "your best face" forward! Have you always wanted to walk out of your house again, wishing for your baby smooth skin that you had upon a time, or simply not waking up in the wee hours of the morning to prep yourself?

These definitely work but they’re not as impactful as what I’m going to reveal to you in this post!

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.”
