This Has Nothing To Do With Makeup

From time to time I feel compelled to write about something other than beauty products. But this is a beauty blog you say. I hear you imaginary heckler but feel me out for a minute. I think green, eco-friendly or whatever buzz word you want to use pertains to more than a few areas of […]
