Sewing is a hobby tailor-made for people who are interested in fashion ♡

Sewing used to be a huge part of society. It was a skill that most people were taught so that they could mend a pair of pants or create a dress.

Although people in the last few generations lost interest in the craft, it seems as though it is becoming popular once again.  Continue reading “Sewing is a hobby tailor-made for people who are interested in fashion ♡”

Mexican S’mores ♡ 

While a fashion or beauty blog would generally advise you to eat healthy to keep you “model-thin”, I completely disagree.  If you’re going to look and feel your best, then you should be able to wear whatever you want, and the same goes for food.  Except, you might want to consider eating whatever you want, rather than wearing… Continue reading “Mexican S’mores ♡ “
