After scouring the blog scene and not finding one that actually “speaks” to me, I decided to start my own. I am a culture obsessed, self-proclaimed beauty junkie, fashion enthusiast, and lover of all things shiny and luxurious. I have varied interested, so this blog will reflect that: fashion, beauty, love and life.

Natural Brand Review: BRAD Biophotonic Skin Care Anti-Fatigue Mist

I received BRAD Biophotonic Skin Care Anti-Fatigue Mist as a gift last year, and never really tried it because I thought the spray was only meant to be used whenever you felt physically or emotionally fatigued, not understanding that your skin can be fatigued as well. Nevertheless, its invigorating, spa-like aroma actually does calm the mind, while soothing the skin. WHAT IT DOES/INGREDIENTS The regenerating … Continue reading Natural Brand Review: BRAD Biophotonic Skin Care Anti-Fatigue Mist

NYFW Recap: Fashion Palette: Australian RTW SS18 Collections

When I first started attending fashion shows I remember being amazed at how short the shows were. I think I over-glamorized the industry, which don’t get me wrong, is absolutely fabulous.
