Bonjour! What does divorce have to do with your beauty? Everything. During any life challenge or change, we tend to let go of our beauty rituals. We run out of time, money and simply lose sight of the importance of feeling beautiful. But feeling beautiful inside and OUT is the key to self confidence, just ask any French Goddess.
