That’s right – I tried a keratin lash lift. It’s basically a semi-permanent curl for your eyelashes that lasts up to three months. Here’s the low down: Why did I do it? I used to get eyelash extensions from time to time. I LOVED them–like really loved them. I felt more confident, prettier and putting […]
I’ve amassed quite the collection of Jo Malone London perfumes over the years. I discovered the fragrance line through a friend about ten years ago and it’s been a favorite every since.
