Howdy kinksters –
It’s summer time and many of us are considering our travel adventures. I’ve got a crate of camping gear getting prepped just to the right of my desk as I write this!
In the spirit of preparing for adventures, we’ve created a new packing list for you. Check out Wicked Grounds’ Aftercare Kit Checklist, available as a new digital download. Download once, print as many copies as you need, and take your aftercare to the next level by always having what you want right at hand!
Now, let’s dive into everything we have for you online and in person this week!
