What are the benefits of Cetaphil?

The organising apps that keep my supplies in order
I gave a friend of mine an eye drop vial that I had in my handbag to relieve her itchy eyes and she said ‘I should make a point of carrying these but I always forget’. Which got me thinking about what it is that I do to ensure that I always have ‘handbag stock‘. Handbag stock includes […]
The wonders of Bicarb Soda
