Q: Why do you write about beauty oils?
A: Nothing like the tranquil feeling of an oil to seep through skin. It's this very simple, aesthetic usefulness that I covet. From a faultless construction to ethereal essences, I adore them all. Whether it's for the eyes, face, body, I dearly love how beauty oils give us more bang for our bucks. When I started using my first oil, I realized how difficult it was to distinguish between various brands because the varying densities & scents. So, I started writing for my 5 near & dear friends, who asked the same. It's so fab to have made a few more friends along the way...
