Some Like it Hot (Err, Warm)
May 18, 2009
People who know me might say that I have a "thing for lotion." Since I moved this past weekend, I noticed that my lotion supply, when assembled in one place, consists of approximately 15 bottles and jars of body lotion. I have all types in my stash.... My personal favorite: Johnson's Baby … [Read more...]
