2016 really has been one hell of a year on so many fronts #understatement. I know there have been times this year when a few of my blogger pals have questioned if they should be talking eyeshadow when the world seems to be going to hell in a handbasket. For me the answer is yes as they’re not mutually exclusive. Living life is the antidote for me to the madness!
Thank you so very much for visiting and I look forward to seeing you in 2017!
Here’s a round up of the 10 most read posts in 2016:
