Skincare is everything! You can have the most luminous highlighter, the sharpest winged liner and the most dazzling lashes, but if your skin isn't prepped and you aren't drinking enough water I don't believe it showcases your attempts and make up skills for what they truly are. I genuinely believe when it comes to skincare it's best to keep it natural, plant based with very minimal fragrances and chemicals. That's why I use Bogavia "Beauty of The Adriatic". Here are my favorites products by Bogavia.

The inspiring brush strokes...
In the quaint town of Willow Creek, nestled amidst rolling hills and whispering pines, lived a young artist named Lily. Her days were filled with the vibrant hues of her imagination, as she painted the world around her with her trusty brush and palette.One crisp autumn morning, as the sun painted the sky in hues of gold and amber, Lily found herself struggling for inspiration. She had an upcoming art exhibition at the town gallery, and her canvas remained blank, devoid of any spark of creativity.Frustration gnawed at Lily's heart as she wandered through the town square, hoping to find inspiration in the simplest of things. But as she gazed upon the familiar sights—the cobblestone pathways, the colorful storefronts, the laughter of children playing—she felt only a sense of emptiness.Lost in her thoughts, Lily stumbled upon an old bookstore tucked away in a corner of the square. Intrigued, she pushed open the creaky door and stepped into a world of dusty tomes and faded pages. As she roamed the aisles, her fingers trailed over the spines of books, each one holding the promise of a new adventure.It was then that she stumbled upon a weathered volume titled "The Art of Finding Inspiration." With trembling hands, Lily flipped through its pages, absorbing the wisdom contained within each word. The author spoke of the beauty of nature, the power of emotions, and the magic of everyday moments.With newfound determination, Lily left the bookstore and ventured into the heart of the forest that bordered Willow Creek. Surrounded by towering trees and the symphony of rustling leaves, she felt a surge of inspiration coursing through her veins. She set up her easel amidst a carpet of fallen leaves and began to paint.With each stroke of her brush, Lily captured the essence of the forest—the dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy, the dance of shadows on the forest floor, the gentle breeze whispering secrets in her ear. Time seemed to stand still as she poured her soul onto the canvas, her heart overflowing with gratitude for the gift of creativity.As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the forest in hues of orange and pink, Lily stepped back to admire her work. In that moment, she knew she had found her inspiration—the beauty of the world around her, waiting to be discovered and immortalized on canvas.With renewed confidence, Lily returned to her studio and poured herself into her art. Each brushstroke was infused with the magic of the forest, each color a reflection of her soul. And when the day of the exhibition arrived, her paintings spoke volumes, touching the hearts of all who beheld them.From that day forth, Lily understood that inspiration was not something to be found, but something to be felt—a whisper in the wind, a song in the heart, a brush stroke on canvas. And as she continued to paint the world around her, she knew that the greatest masterpiece of all was life itself, waiting to be embraced with open arms and an open heart.
