Hello, blog fans! Clearly, I've had an imbalance when it comes to my blog / life balance, but I'm getting back in to the swing of things. I've got some really great posts in the works (think amazing drugstore liquid lipsticks, a luxe holo clad spring collection, and so much more!) But first, we're chatting up some cute spring goodies from Avon. I know, florals for spring, groundbreaking... but, so necessary. They're exactly what's needed after a few months of snow and gloom.
