Etude House Cosmetics is a Korean cosmetics company that has a number of lovely affordable products. For the longest time, it was difficult to obtain Etude House products in the United States. The company did not retail in the U.S. and was limited to a few Asian markets. But now…
A favorite core memory of mine was my friend’s bachelorette party last summer. We stayed at this amazing Airbnb in Stillwater, MN and celebrated hard. We had a few spa treatments and the whole place – spa and bnb – smelled like Moroccanoil Hair & Body Mist. It was literally…
