Better Bronzers

Updating my first post one year later

Today marks a big milestone for me– WHIT & WHIMSY turns one!

I recruited my teenage daughter to teach me to use Photoshop (not an easy task) and my husband was asked to… Read More

I will forever be searching for that magic elixir that will eliminate my dark under eye circles. To that end, I have tried quite a few products and consulted more than a few professionals.
