So sometimes the heart heart can stop beating/working, it is important to restart the heart immediately if not the casualty could die.  Sadly quite a number of people have died because when their hearts stopped (maybe as a result of cardiac arrest) no one was available to help restart their hearts  Your 2 hands can save lives!  Learn CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) You never know when your knowledge of this life saving skill would give someone a second chance at life #worldrestartaheart  #worldrestartaheartday  #wrah  #WRAH2021 #CPR #learncpr  #cprsaveslives #yourtwohandscansavealife  #TheFABS #TheFirstAidBoxShop #BeFABulouS

She mentioned that she had expectations 👉 needed to look fresh, great skin and the works.  I quizzed her a bit and found out she was a serious hydro hater.
