I assume everyone reading this is over 21, yes? Apologies if the name furrows anyone’s brows. My beloved, 90 percent proper First Niece tells me that back in nursing school they referred to this more simply as the "AMF."

Very, very nice! Aiming to try a couple others that should bring the Genepy up front. DAISY DE SANTIAGO 2 oz White … Continue reading Daisy de Santiago – Genepy Version
