After being pretty pleased with the Firm’s Hi-Def Sculpt, I went and purchased another title. Today’s workout is from the Firm’s Hard Core Fusion DVD. I have to admit I seem to gravitate towards the newer titles from this workout company. I wasn’t all that crazy about their older …

Tampax Pearl Plastic Tampons, I would say, are the best and most comfortable tampons out there, and for several different reasons. These tampons are plastic and are very easily inserted. I find it very hard to use the cardboard ones, as many other brands are, because they are very …
