A quick post today about the *Foreo UFO hack that I use. I know these devices are no longer as trendy, as LED masks are easier to obtain now that there are several models on the market. I also have an LED mask now, but even so, I still enjoy the Foreo UFO. I am…
The oldest gelato in Vienna is among the best gelato I’ve ever had in my life. And believe me, I’ve had a lot of gelato.
