For me, making an appointment at Planned Parenthood wasn’t a hard decision. Since the doctor who I’ve been visiting since I was born isn’t in Philadelphia, I’ve gotten used to making my own appointments.

That being said, I’m a huge fan of anything that can cut down on my beauty routine.

You’ll immediately regret all the times you didn't stop by before.
