Just the Type of Boldness I was Looking For.

Just the Type of Boldness I was Looking For.

I’m sharing #LISTERINE in my life as part of a LISTERINE® sponsored series for Socialstars™ Boldness is not often a quality a woman would state as a requirement when listing her top must haves in a future mate.
