Hygiene & Cosmetics
Believe it or not, hygiene is so important that ignoring it can be highly debilitating in the long run. Most of us go through life more miserable because we simply find it too embarrassing and/or time consuming to face our irritating bodily issues. This group is intended to advise and promote solutions to prevent and/or cure particular hygiene issues. You can ask those embarrassing questions and maybe you can find someone who has a nifty solution that is simple, affordable, and effective.…See More
