[Ohio-talk] Thought of you

[Cheryl Fields]

Hi Ladies,
I tried the device for the forhead some years ago too. It was not that
good and I tested it in the summer and if you perspire it would frizz
and buzz, scarry.
I would not mind trying this new one either. Stay hydrated in this heat wave.
Blessings,
Cheryl Fields
