Warning: You Might Be Too Radiant

Warning: You Might Be Too Radiant

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Jergens. All opinions are 100% mine. Ladies, hands up if you don't like radiant skin. Anyone? No one? I thought so.

Can We Talk About Kenya On Beamly, Please?

I love television. It is not an error that I am most active on Twitter during my favorite shows. The only thing that makes watching these shows better is talking about them.
