Lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas let Read more [...]

A Gilded Leaf sent me their Daisy Diamond Necklace in yellow gold to review. All opinions are my own. I've mentioned before that I prefer to wear a simple set of jewelry that I can wear 24/7, regardless of what outfit I'm wearing.

So when I saw the Daisy Diamond Necklace from A Gilded Leaf, it immediately caught my attention because it's a daisy - and I Read more [...]
