The best activated charcoal face mask

Happy Friday, friends! How was your week? I swear, the days continue to escape me! I’ve been busy preparing for the holidaze coming up (I know, who isn’t?) along with trying to wrap up a few loose ends before the start of the new year and you know, everything else that encompasses life (like work, attempting to maintain my sanity by staying active and that pesky thing we call laundry that never seems to be caught up).

As for the links, some are old, some are new – but I can assure you, all are read-worthy!
