The Kate Somerville Cold Cream, or as I like to call it Kate Somerville’s magical face cream, is currently my favorite everyday product that I use. I received a sample from Sephora at the beginning of the summer this year, and went back to buy a full size version immediately after I tried it. Since … More Kate Somerville Cold Cream
While growing up in Chicago, I spent a lot of time each summer being dragged by my mother to every craft fair she could find in the city. I think she was so determined to make it to all the craft fairs in an effort to take advantage of the warmer weather while she could … More Renegade Craft Fair
As someone who enjoys reading memoirs and autobiographies, there are certain people who I am generally interested in reading about, whether I think the books will actually be well-written and intriguing, or just somewhat informative.
