100 Days to a Better Me… My Weakness, My Truths, My Reality

When the clock struck twelve midnight signaling the arrival of 2014 I was in my bed asleep. I’d just lost my grandmother  the day before and I was heart broken that I’d be starting a new year without her.

This is a sponsored post from Coupons.com. While I’m being compensated for this post the love affair I have with Dermablend Professionals is real…   Beauty products come a dime a dozen. Usually when you find the right one and fall in love with it the company discontinues it or somehow changes the formula, you know, to “make it better”.
