Season Greetings to all! I have come to the realisation that I have neglected my blog. Although this is saddening, you all can take a quick sigh of relief. To all my followers, I am back. With exams outta the way and Christmas approaching I am gearing up for Christmas holidays and I am really, very excited. I love Christmas more then anything and the time I get to spend with friends and family is heart warming. Cannot wait. 
You all know how I love my DIY and I found some new and really great Do It Yourself beauty products. So I thought I would re-introduce myself on that note!
