This is going to be a controversial post so don’t say I didn’t warn you! In case you don’t know, I was an aesthetician (facialist) for 10 years prior to starting Jenni Raincloud. One of the most common treatment among aestheticians and skin care specialist is a glycolic peel. Glycolic is a fruit acid that burns the top layers of skin. They…

Today is a quickie. It’s something I’ve found extremely interesting and helpful and I had to pass it on. It’s a very well kept beauty secret!! A while ago I posted about French Green Clay.

This post might seem like a no-brainer but up until a few months ago I was seriously neglecting my upper chest, or as the french say, decolletage. Let me make something clear, this isn’t a post about boobs. I’m talking about the shoulders, collar bones, and upper chest area. I guess you could say it’s a post about cleavage, but totally…
