Merry christmas!!!! You ARE beautiful! And if you are recovering, don’t let the stress of the holidays (food/unwanted comments about weight from family members that only see you once a year) get you down today.

Looks like I’m in the clear… For now. Dun Dun (dramatic pause) Dunnn! I have Planned Parenthood to thank, of course. See how the company manufacturing your birth control measures up.
