I Got Squeaky Clean Locks Thanks to Bumble and Bumble’s Sunday Shampoo
by anc49
Photo via Something I’m very proud of is my knowledge of beauty products, regimens, facts, etc. You name it, I know it… or know of it. I’m a very educated consumer and like I say, blooming beautician. However, up until recently I wasn’t wise about my spending on new products.

This woman, Irina, apparently does Martha Stewart, Emmy Rossum and Ali Larter, so I figured I was set. Weeks of desperation and depression […]

Meringues – Save room for dessert!

Originally posted on alifemoment:
Meringues with homemade fresh fruit jam/sauce 2 days ago I really wanted to eat something sweet for dessert but I didn’t want the usual slice of cake, I wanted something different, that required few ingredients and produced a different texture and I came out with this idea of making small meringues (crunchy outside and soft inside) and on the top I decided to put my own jam/ fruit sauce that I usually put on the cupcakes as…
