As usual, in December I was going out of my way to try new things. It’s a habit I strongly recommend and I always enjoy looking back at the end of the month to see what I’ve been able to try. Also as usual, December was a busy month. I don’t know about you, but… Continue reading New things I tried in December 2017

We’ve already had favourite beauty products, favourite books (both fiction and nonfiction), favourite movies and TV shows, and places visted and instagram posts and I’ve nearly (but not quite) run out.
