HELL YEAH, I’VE FOUND THE PERFECT BEACH BAG

“The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive.

A VISIT TO WELEDA & THEIR BEAUTIFUL GARDENS

LAST week I spent a rather lovely day at Weleda HQ (UK). Which basically means I got to mooch around some of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen and play with fabulous skin care products.
