White America: it’s time to make a change!
For the past several hours, I’ve watched the protests in Atlanta, stemming from the death of George Floyd, turned into riots. I’ve watched cars catch on fire and buildings get ruined.

Essence Lash Princess: False Lash Effect
“But first, mascara” I want to start off by saying, I do NOT wear a lot of makeup. In fact, I’m quite a minimalist when it comes to makeup. A little concealer to cover the “mom bags” under my eyes and some mascara and I’m good to go! And if I’ve said it once, I’ve…
