Hey folks, one thing I have been struggling with and am self conscious about are my toenails. Over the past 5 years they have gotten very thick and yellowed. Anyone have this side effect and have any tips for making these less obvious? I am hesitant to just start filing them more than a little...

Hello folks I know it's been awhile so I figured I check back in with an update. I have been in a bit of a slump with my mom having some health issues from her diabetes and having to help her out. Its been stressful and I have not done super well with working on my A1c which has been...
