My Current AM Skincare Routine
Hello friends! With as much as I talk skincare and ingredients on this blog, it kind of amazes me that I haven't revealed my go-to skincare routine.

Our Engagement/Proposal Story
I was thrilled to get to share this moment with my family. There were lots of hugs from my father and brother, and plenty of tears from my mom.
