For Those Times When I Look in the Mirror and Don’t Like What I See

March 5, 2019 by Kristi 4 Comments

Don't like what you see when you look in the mirror? Do you need something tangible to combat those times when you look in the mirror and don't like what you see? "Visuals" like me will understand.
