Focused, in a distracted sort of way
So what is the middle ground then? I don't know, just like I don't know the answers to most of life's questions due to the availability of only my brain and my perspective to me. I do know that I grew up in a household where my mother washes her face twice a day, puts... Continue Reading →
I heard a beauty blogger on YouTube say once that wearing makeup today is like having manners.
