A few months ago, I asked my Instagram followers for recommendations on the best concealer and foundation for acne-prone skin. Lots of responses poured in!

Who doesn’t love fresh flowers? They add life to any space and spark so much joy. I tend to put them in my earth tone vases but recently, pulled out my old glass hurricanes to use as vases.  And wow, I feel like glass vases and vessels make my flower arrangements look even dreamier!
