The scent of a courtesan 2: The mouth

Photo by Adrienne Andersen from Pexels The total package of a well groomed man or woman includes oral hygiene. One needs to ensure that they have a clean mouth with fresh smelling breath, especially if they will be interacting (closely) with other people. Below I will outline the perfect fresh breath routine that can be used morning and night.

Courtesan appearance lesson: Summer, heat, body odour / scent and the courtesan

I am sorry

Photo by Matt on Unsplash Dear ladies (and gents) I apologize deeply for my absence as I have been away for a long time as I pursued other goals. I went to evening school to get my degree and was working full time and I found it impossible to combine this with blogging.
