Homemade Face
/The day you find out you're pregnant is also the day you discover all the things in life you can't have. Sushi, Tequila, Coffee, Jacuzzi, Sauna, Botox, Lazer Hair Removal, and of course, many of our trusty little skin products that have become our closest confidants. By striping our lives of our favorite things, it was clearly time to introduce new pleasures to bring us back to our happy place.
