Things aren't always simple. Things aren't always black and white. But this time they are - well ok there's a little hint of gold on the packaging but what isn't improved by a touch of gold? What am I going on about? Well, today I'm talking about Akar Skin. When I got an e-mail asking me… Continue reading Akar Skin – Tibetan Inspired Beauty

During the past week or two I've been trying out these two Skin D-Luxe skin care products that I first came across at the Fake Bake Beauty at Home event.
