Call me a princess but I love leaving the work to someone else. I let them do all the tough stuff and I just sit back and relax! 

Well, at least when it comes to my beauty routine. My night time beauty regimen is where I let my products work their magic and just lay back and sleep. I find night one of the best times to use more concentrated or powerful products, because you aren't piling...

As many of you know from previous articles, I've dealt with my fair share of acne. I've used so many products and treatments (everything from yoghurt and lemon juice to glycolic acid), so I consider myself something of an acne treatment connoisseur. Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't love and need your recommendations. This week, from July 29 to August 4 when you review an acne treatment...

Just when you thought they'd run out of letters... 

First there was the BB cream, which is a Beauty or Blemish Balm. Similar to a tinted moisturizer, BB creams gave coverage and moisturization but with added benefits like SPF or antioxidants.

Just like I associate Christmas with the scent of eggnog, gingerbread and peppermint, summer has a distinct set of smells as well.

So, it's hot out. Obscenely. And I'll be honest, I'm having a hard time adjusting. Fun fact about me: I hate being hot. I dislike sweating immensely. I would not do well south of the equator. 

What I loathe however, is when my makeup literally starts to melt off my face. Makeup, sun, heat and sweat don't really do well together, do they? It kind of just accumulates into a puddle on the floor....

About two months ago, I read a post by a blogger and loved it! She wrote about how much she enjoyed taking baths. I thought to myself, 'YES', this is what I have been searching for! I needed some relaxing me time to help me unwind after a stressful day and this fit the bill.

Since I've been...
