Girl Boss all day, everyday-Therapeutic Skin Coach
Over the weekend I was gifted a day off by the universe as I was attempting

For one, we both started in 2006 and secondly we were both so young (I - 18
and she - 23). So instead of allowing myself to be swallowed by the pit of
comparison and jealously what I took from the series was a few basic
lessons and reminders. Here is what I learned:
