      I have a work laptop and a personal laptop and they should be easy to tell apart, because they are different colors. Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me remember which one is which color.

      Regretfully, the new curl product I got smells gross and works perfectly. I’ve never had more immaculate boingy curls. I look like a Victorian doll
