I’m predicting the beginning.
Prime Day. I’m here to tell you… It’s. a. trap. They know what they’re doing. And, yes, they got me. Amazon Prime is a savior in this first-world of mine. I always say “Own your privilege,” and “Privilege itself isn’t bad, it’s what you do with it.” Well, when it comes to the beauty that …
