Effective Advertising Made Me Genuinely Consider Butt-Masking

I’ve tried face masks, hair masks, body scrubs, beauty supplements, and pretty much every other beauty-related item you can think of.

Olay’s Super Bowl Ad – Powerful or Patronizing?

I’m not a huge sports fan. Every year, I get more excited about the Puppy Bowl than the actual football game (I’m an eighteen-year-old girl, who can blame me?).
