During this time of year, we all need to be a little bit kinder to our skin. The constant heat blaring out of radiators dries you right out, the cold air batters your poor skin and those changes in temperatures really don’t help either.

When it comes to money saving, I’ve been working pretty darn hard this year to fund my travel addiction and to still be saving to buy a house in a couple of years.
