Where I ate in California

let’s talk about: beauty from the inside
Throughout my battle with acne, and on my continuous journey towards great skin, I have always come back to the notion that to get the glow you are seeking, start from the inside (see what I did there?). From a very young age and now, my parents always ensure I eat wholesome meals that include …
