What the hell did we do before dry shampoo?
Let's get one thing straight before we go any further. I am lazy. LAY. ZEE. I also have stupid, fine curly hair. Th... Read More...
Our early twenties is such a defining period for our cultural tastes. Books, films, music... The art I discovered and fell in love with during those years has g... Read More...
