My Little Boudoir Soundtrack
As you’ve probably already noticed by now, I have added a soundtrack to My Little Boudoir. Ever since I can remember I have always enjoyed having music playing in my boudoir.

On this blog, Lady Kina, a professional esthetician and free-lance makeup artist, shares with her readers about all things related to cosmetics and beauty products.
