13. Maybe you should read up on her relationship with her rich dad.

Apr 2019

She rejected the wealth that she grew up in and left home on her own when she was around 18. She has only recently repaired her relationship with her dad, after she became a parent.

One of the unfortunate things is that some people see value in what you or I would call pseudoscience. I don't know whether the jade egg does what she claims, but I have read that vaginas need a certain acid range to be healthiest. Who is to say that somehow leaching from the jade egg in a vagina doesn't change the ph level there and make a woman feel healthier down there and inside her head?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
