I'm looking for a model Thursday or Friday. I just got hired at a salon on Piedmont ave and I need to showcase my work. Lmk! Thenk you! (Nextdoor El Cerrito del Norte (Inner)) - Todays life's suggestion: don't talk on your phone in public when anyone is near, this would likely occur at the drs office waiting room, the line at the bank, any store including grocery, department store.
Also even where others might not be near like walking across the street or sidewalk. Thank you! (Nextdoor El Cerrito Plaza)
