The whole notion is rather silly.<br /><br />I'm just doing this because Frenchwomen do it and it's a journalistic experiment. I do not expect great results. As one nutritionist I interviewed said, "these massages make one 'appear' thinner in her clothes; they do not make her lose weight."<br /><br />To tell you the truth though, I don't know how many of these I can tolerate.<br /><br />You are all so much fun. xoTish Jetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865177127050648489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-73529796845393979972013-02-04T15:03:18.028+01:002013-02-04T15:03:18.028+01:00There is no nonsurgical treatment that will give a...There is no nonsurgical treatment that will give a woman our age firm, taught thighs.<br /><br />You are beautiful!
