2014 was a year of experimenting with a ton of products. I straddled the fence between making my own products and buying natural products. I must admit-with the skin issues I experience, I reached the end of what my DIY skin care could do.

Don’t you just love going to Sephora? It’s like a girly heaven-so much makeup and beauty products all in one place!

Since the cleanser was working so well and I deal with a large amount of blackheads, I decided to give the Willow Bark Serum a go. My hope was that I would have the same great experience with the serum that I did with the cleanser.…

I probably don’t need to talk about how important it is to wear an SPF on your face daily. Sun damage on the face doesn’t just happen to people that tan in a bed or layout. Did you know that UVA rays can actually penetrate through the car window! Even making those quick trips to the grocery store or the quick jaunt…
