May 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Confession: I’m a sweater (not the kind that you wear on a cool, fall day…the other kind). Or at least I used to be a sweater. After discovering Certain Dri anti-perspirant, I can now wear a silk blouse or clingy dark t-shirt without worrying about unsightly underarm wetness. Certain Dri is […]

If God had asked me if there was one thing I could have, as he was putting me together and getting ready to send me down to Earth (besides health, world peace, and the elimination of hunger, of course), I would’ve told him to wrap me in flawless, pore-free, beautiful skin.
