During the BlogHer16 conference, I was blessed to be one of the Influencers working with Vagisil. As an Influencer, I attended a special event hosted by Vagisil, and although I expected it to be fun (because these BlogHer sponsor events are usually fun), the event surpassed my expectations – it was not only fun but so informative too!Three very knowledgeable women, all experts in their field - including Dr. Sherry Ross, an award winning OB-GYN, Keech Combe Shetty, Read More
