We love Sephora! {Giveaway}

During the past year, Sam has slowly been converting Ilaria into a cosmetics demon, one eye mask at a time… and while Ilaria never really needs that much extra convincing, Sam did drag Ilaria into at least five different Sephora stores during our trip to Paris and Madrid earlier this year.

Matis Deluxe Treatments

I think I may have literally let out a small shriek of excitement when we received an invite to experience the ultimate in luxury pamper treatments at Matis Spa in Rosebank.
