I guess we can't help ourselves. Chin hairs? Faux eyelashes? Covid and beauty routines? Why bother? Here we are again.

Turns out, our toilette, like so much else, turns out to be a matter of the heart. Patreon Love: A massive thank you to our Patrons over on Patreon www.patreon.com/homemakerchicpodc...
