About the AuthorWhile developing and marketing products in the Beauty industry I naturally became interested in things associated with beauty, both inside and out.

Volumes of information scattered across so many platforms felt overwhelming, and hard to use. Thus I decided to bring it all together in one place so it could be acted-on collectively.
