Osmia Organics
I love Lush – I really do. Come the holidays I have to buy gifts for the countless random people who I see all the time, but don’t really know (think colorist, corner fruit guy, all the people who work in my building, etc…).

After being introduced to Kahina Giving Beauty, a … Continue reading “Argan Oil: Good for Skin?”
