I fell in love with Carnival many, many years ago when I first “played Mas” with some of my Jamaican friends in Miami for Generation X. Dazzled by the vibrant hues and intoxicated by the pulsating sounds of soca music, the exhilarating feeling of wanton abandon and total freedom kept luring me back year after year. Over time, I added Jamaica (as an observer) and St. Barth to my carnival experiences, but deep down I

A Really Great Gift Tatcha’s Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil is incredibly effective at removing makeup. It's also highly nourishing and gentle for the skin. My sister bought me a Tatcha gift set, which included a deluxe sample size of the oil. I’d heard a lot about it when the brand first burst onto the beauty scene a couple of years ago.
