Aromatherapy Hand Soap

SMELLS SO NICE, YOU MIGHT WASH YOUR HANDS TWICE My aunt gifted me this Orange Ginger hand soap from Bath & Body Works after I told her how much I loved their aromatherapy collection. She loves the stuff, too, and keeps different scents from the line in every bathroom of her house. There are about [...]

What the Hell Man, He Was Already Dead!

I think my sister is a bad driver: PLAIN.AND.SIMPLE. Unfortunately, I know that our driving records tell a much different version of my story. Her record is squeaky clean.
