Listen, when I bought the Lumē soap bars? GAME. CHANGER. 😭 It's the best bar of soap that I've EVER used (and I went through Native and all the rest) and their deodorant also can be used as a full body deodorant. If you have chaffing thighs or sweat...

When I gained back 50lbs after losing over 130lbs, I knew I was just defeated. I tried to keep a game face, but I'd worked so hard and here I was. AGAIN.
