Honestly, yeah, I thought I was prepared for the extra work but wow...braces really do turn your nightly routine into a full-on project. Before braces...
Yeah, marshmallows were a bust for me too—just made my mouth feel like I’d eaten a glue stick. The ice chip thing is legit though, especially when you...
