Many years ago when I was in college in New York, I somehow got a certificate for a free facial at a salon in midtown. The esthetician (or “saleswoman” might be more appropriate) scared the living daylights out of me. In an effort to sign me up for a series of facial skincare treatments, she …

Don’t you just hate it when one of your favorite products gets dropped? Well, I do. And it seems to happen all the time. Boo!
