Happy Friday loves! Today, I’m talking about all about skincare because my skin has come a long way.

If I had a dollar for every email I’ve read or conversation I’ve overheard about headache-inducing fragrances in the workplace, I’d be rich.  Now, I know we’ve been conditioned to believe we need perfumes, musks, and colognes to smell good, some of us don’t realize that these fragrances can be olfactory terrorists in the workplace, especially if they are OVERPOWERING…
