As Social News Daily‘s resident boobs-haver, cis-female, and Officer Of Trunk Junk, Gwynnie Bee has intrigued us (and by us I mean me) by being a pioneer of the newish intersection of social media and shopping.
SND earlier covered Gwynnie Bee‘s free trial period, in intro and midway point posts. Now our first month of Gwynnie Bee is about to conclude — just as jeans have finally been added to the rotation! Ugh. Like anyone can even call that a choice.
