Today we step away from the academic side of the Beauty Ingredients Snob series to talk about straight up beauty. Today is all about beauty, drama and more beauty! Well I suppose that’s not entirely true because I suppose the ingredients in these products play an important role as well. If they didn...

Moved again this weekend...blah... Needed a nice long hot bath last night to revive myself, but at the same time relax and even more importantly…stop my muscles from aching!
