Before I went on vacation there are a two things I’m very glad I did. One was get Japanese Hair Straightening (so I never had to do my hair) and the other was have my legs lasered. I only had my first treatment at OasisMD right before I left, so I wasn’t expecting too much, but I will tell you that I shaved my legs once in three weeks. I was on the go with [...]
