Lately I have been breaking out and after I took a look at my life, I realized I was most likely to blame. Culprits: 1.

Food For Thought
You should know something about me: I sit for hours and watch skin care and makeup tutorials. As a kid my favorite thing to do was watch my Mom, Grandma, and Aunts get ready for the day or for a girls night out. I was fascinated.
