- by Beverly - Leave a Comment

The first thing I heard when I decided to start swimming was that hair was going to get wrecked! Meaning, my hair would suffer from the chlorine and other pool chemicals.

I had gained at least ten pounds per decade and wasn’t happy with the expanding direction of my body. So, I searched for a way, in truth, to do as little as possible in order to stay healthy.
