UK Milani Haul! ♡

Living in London, although I am super blessed to be surrounded by fashion and beauty stores everywhere, there are still certain things that are harder to get hold of – namely a few US drugstore beauty brands.

A Fitness Post – Running in Neverland…♡

I have mentioned in my healthy food post before that while I love eating clean, I absolutely detest sports – especially running.
