Do you prefer Body wash or a bar of Soap?

miraclefreebies @miraclefreebies (3043) • United States 8 Apr 09

I honestly wouldn't call a bar of soap a good friend of mine because I had enough run-ins with dry skin after a soap bath. It looks like my dry skin isn't as dry as I was lead to believe. I figured out that it was the soap...

simply_lizzie As a child, my parents just give me money to buy the foods I want to eat. I can say that it is nice, because they give me the freedom to choose what I want to eat. But as I grow up, I realized that I do not have the time to decide yet way back then. Since they...
