No Label at the Table

I recently heard some rumors that there was an allergy-friendly bakery opening near my work, but those were just whispers of hope, mere potential for broken dreams.

Beauty Faves: Truly Gifted

For the first beauty post, I wanted to talk a little about my all-time favorite product: Gifted mascara by Tarte Now, I’m typically one of those women who refuses to leave the house without my makeup fully done.
