Vinegar addiction

As a child I used to poor vinegar over poultry jelly but never used it for anything else. Then I stopped it and forgot abut that taste. When I was older I went to England for a year and some of my English friends made me try malt vinegar on fish and chips. At first I thought "yucky" but when I tried... Well, that was the day when my addiction started. Next thing was adding malt vinegar to my salad, baked potato, soup, pork stew and even to lasagne... Year after that, I started drinking vinegar from a bottle. It got really bad cause my throat was burning. I had a day with vinegar then two days without it to heal my throat then again day with vinegar. when I came back from England to my country I was looking everywhere for malt vinegar, I tried in every shop but couldn't find it. It was very hard, cause I was really adiccted, like an alkoholic or drug addict. I was very frustrated, angry and sad but I got over it. Sadly few days ago I found malt vinegar in one of the shops... Here we go again.

Jaw surgery.

Went to the orthodontist to get my theeth straighten and I found out that it's not gonna be easy. I'v got an undebrite so I need jaw surgery. Not sure what to expect but my orthodontist said that the result will look great and my face will change diametrically. I'v watched some videos and it looks pretty good, but my jaw will remain shut for ages (4-9 weeks), so I'm kinda worried how am I gonna eat plus face is swallen for months. Not easy but I guess it's woth it.

This is an underbite plus the result:



and this is how my face looks like:

My profile looks pretty bad but the front isn't as awfull:

SPRING IS COMING!

Last year I found something great for spring/summer:

Decided to try cause Iv got a problem with ingrow hair on my legs, plus they are always white after winter…

… And I was shocked! It really works!

My legs look really well, no marks, you almost can’t see scars (ingrow hair), legs look naturally tanned. Love it.
You can even use it when you go swimming as it’s waterproof.  Great product!
