Days of Our Lives saw Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) telling Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) on their Miami trip that Titan is in big, big financial trouble.This is the same trip where she opened up about Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) being kidnapped by Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) and that he died still wanting to be with Gabi.

I wonder if Gabi is going to help Philip out of the jam that he is in. Let’s…

Unlike rigid vintage pairs, these feature a “smidge of stretch” (82% cotton, 1% spandex) that provides a broken-in feel from day one. They are specifically designed to be loose through the leg, offering a stylish alternative to restrictive skinny jeans.  Worth Noting”Fupa” & Tummy Friendly: These are a “holy grail” for smoothing the midsection. One reviewer (5’4″, 160 lbs) noted that for anyone insecure about a lower belly pouch…
