MOM LIFE = DRY SHAMPOO LIFE. AM I RIGHT? I’ve got fine, thin, straight and dark brunette hair, so dry shampoo is something I feel pretty passionately about. Any old baby powder life hack just won’t do, ya know? I want something that makes my hair feel, or at least resemble, clean. Since my hair…
SKIN REDNESS CAN BE REACTIVE, CONDITIONAL OR JUST SOMETHING YOU’VE ALWAYS HAD TO DEAL WITH. In my case, I find my skin will go through phases of being red or reactive. Depending on what’s going on in my life, what products I’m using at the time, or if I’ve had a particularly hot shower I…
