I’m not usually one who buys or tries new things soon after they first come out. Usually, because I don’t want to spend the money. But also because I want to see how it’s working for other people. Are they liking it or not? That helps me determine whether or not I will give it a try.
That wasn’t how I approached the Smooth Moves Line from Not Your Mother’s (NYM). I had been seeing lots of teasers for this line online so when the line launched in January 2022 I was ready to buy it. I did hold on buying as soon as it hit store shelves though because I wanted to make sure I could fit it in my hair product budget and I wanted to buy the products on sale (hey I try not to pay full price for anything hair and beauty related).
I have a little secret. I love washing my hair!
It may be hard to believe but I like the way my hair feels, looks, and acts after it’s been washed. So I look forward to wash day each week and sometimes am sad when I’m done washing hair. Partly because I enjoy shampooing my hair and partly because I don’t like the process of drying my hair but that’s for another blog post.
Did you know that having a clean scalp and hair is important to having healthy hair? Dirty hair and scalp only lead to issues and stunted hair growth. So it’s important to make sure we’re washing our relaxed hair properly so we can help it look and feel its best.
I’ve scoured the web to see if there were any tips out there to get the best results from shampooing my hair. What I found is that there are several, a lot of great tips. I gave many of them a trip and found 7 tips that helped me improve my hair washing sessions the most.
Keep reading to see those 7 tips.
I am an avid blog reader. I have several blogs that I follow and visit throughout the week. On those blogs, I've found great content that I think would be helpful for my followers so I'd like to share the content with my followers. And the best way for me to share that content is to add it to my Pinterest boards. Sadly though I can't share all of it.
The reason I can't share all of that content on Pinterest is that several of the posts aren't optimized for Pinterest. These bloggers aren't creating content that is Pinterest friendly or pinnable.
Do you know how long your makeup sponge is supposed to last? I know I didn’t. Most of the professional advice that I found says that makeup sponges are only meant to last 1-6 months depending on the type of sponge, the amount of usage, and the care it gets.
If you have a good makeup sponge like a BeautyBlender, Real Techniques, or Sonia Kashuk they will last you longer than a cheap no-name sponge from the dollar store. No matter what brand of makeup sponge you use, if you're a heavy user it will wear out faster than if you’re a lighter user. Who knew?
What with everyone trying to save money in every area possible you may be tempted to hold onto that makeup sponge a little longer. I know I am, especially because I don’t use it every day.
There is one way to keep your makeup sponge in the best condition possible.
If you want to schedule pins to Pinterest there are several options there. 3rd-party tools that you can pay to use or have limited access to if they have a free plan option. Well, now there is another option there.
Did you know that Pinterest has a native pin scheduler that you can access either on your desktop or in the app? Well, you do now. I’ve been using the scheduler for a little while now and wanted to share this tool with you, how it works, and how it’s been working for me.
Whenever I can I look for ways to save some money. It may be a dollar here, fifty cents there which don’t seem like a lot but over time it all adds up. That includes looking for skincare dupes or cheaper alternatives to my more “expensive” skincare products.
Recently I decided to try and find a dupe for the Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser that I use in the morning to wash my face. I think I may have found one.
