This is such a touchy subject and I think more people should be aware that not all hair and makeup brands are cruelty free.

Hello! It’s Katlyn’s personal assistant, Nikki, here! Katlyn is letting me take over the blog today to introduce a topic important to both of us. Today is Rare Disease Day! Why does that matter? I have a rare disease called SMA, and I am writing this blog to tell a little about it. SMA stands […]
