19 Highlights from my Bugaboo Paris Trip

Buy of the Week: PurePotions Lavender Nappy Salve
The beauty editor in me was pretty excited about the new world of products having a baby would open up – but in truth the only thing I used on my boy’s skin for the first six months was natural coconut oil and a little eczema cream. But, like his […]
