This had to be a joke, right? But the more […]
If I Could Curate My Own AB Boxes…
Yesterday, my friend Jacinda joked that she needs a Geek in Heels beauty subscription box. I was super flattered to receive the comment, and it got me thinking about what I’d include in a box if I could curate one… The problem lies in the fact that I’d include too much! The box would cost […]
