Tis the season to be jolly…
Friday, December 26th, 2008
Falalalalallala! Hi everyone, long, long time no talk! I've been partially lazy, and partially busy with school and life and whatnot, so needless to say, I've been neglecting the blog. I've also shifted my focus towards skincare (smokey eyes and false eyelashes have been put on the backburner for going out nights), since I'm trying a more natural approach.

Envelopes de Beleza!
Monday, December 22nd, 2008
Desde de criança eu sou fascinada pelos creminhos e lencinhos em envelopes. Meu pai sempre que voltava de viagem me trazia aqueles pacotinhos de lenço perfumado que davam nos aviões (e que hoje anda meio raro encontrar, infelizmente). Eu guardava aqueles envelopinhos cheirosos para as ocasiões mais que especiais. Ainda na minha infância, teve uma época que minha mãe revendia avon e eu amava aqueles mini vidrinhos de perfumes ou os pequenos batons que ela dava de amostra. Mais tarde, já não mais
