SLEEP AND GLOW PILLOW
SLEEP AND GLOW PILLOW I've heard how you can get wrinkles from sleeping on your side. It's because when we do that we are smashing our face. But the problem is how to sleep without doing that. I've heard of a wedge pillow but that requires sleeping on my back and that's something I can't do because I have a bad back. I was recently contacted by sleep and glow anti aging pillow and share my thoughts.(This post contains affiliate links.

BEAUTY BLENDER TIPS
BEAUTY BLENDER TIPS I discovered the beauty blender a few years ago and I can tell you that it was a total game changer for me.

First let's talk about how to use a beauty blender and how to care for it.(This post contains affiliate links. Please see disclosure policy) HOW TO USE A BEAUTY BLENDER You always want to use a clean beauty blender. I use the pro bar soap to clean mine, which I also use for my brushes as well.
