I don't shoot weddings anymore (the time commitment is just too difficult) but I saw many things that I think could be helpful when planning your own wedding day! Things Read more [...]

Thank you to Biotin Xtreme Hair Care for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own.

I am not sure if that's a real thing or not, but it has always made me laugh. She said I have a good amount of hair but it is very fine in texture. I have also noticed, Read more [...]
