Estee Lauder skincare review: Part 2
Yesterday, I wrote up my experiences with Estee Lauder skincare products. As a quick summary, I wanted to stick to it, but my skin was not showing signs that it was not improving using them. And because my skin was suffering as a result, I wasn’t enjoying my skincare. I took a couple weeks off…

Donna Born in Roma Coral Fantasy by Valentino, and then worn and reviewed by me
I feel that I have to always preface my reviews of fragrances with my shortcomings. First and foremost, I have a subpar sense of smell. I am working on developing my nose, but bear with me in the meantime. The second thing is that I am constantly dealing with sinus issues, which is probably why…
