Published on 2012-05-21 08:19:00
Summer is, of course, my favorite season for many reasons - no school (I'll be done with uni this summer, yey!); I get to lounge around in my backyard in bikini, sipping on alcoholic drinks all day long, trying to achieve the slightest hint of a tan; I go to the beach with friends and family; but the best part? Every past summer, I have been incredibly lucky to be able to travel to the US for a few days.Last summer, my mother and I drove to Wildwoods > read more

Melted white chocolate, cocoa butter and cream... yum! "Please don't be tempted to eat" is easier said than done in the case of these yummy Montagne Jeunesse face masques! I must admit I'm not really sure what white chocolate is supposed to smell, but I guess Montagne Jeunesse did quite well with this masque because I just wanted to taste it!
