Dry shampoo has become a big thing these days. It extends a blow out, protects your color by allowing more time between washings, adds texture and fullness, and colored dry shampoos can hide roots and gray hairs. It seems that every brand has one, and it feels that in the past couple of years I…
In a previous post, I mentioned how you can replace disposable cotton rounds and cotton balls with reusable rounds. A few of you were interested to hear more about such a product. When I found out I was pregnant, I did a lot of research on healthy ways to rear a child. I learned so…
A few of you have asked about my skincare routine. I am by no means an expert, but I am pretty happy with my current routine. In the morning, I wipe my face with Thayer’s Rose Witch Hazel. This gets off any sweat, non-absorbed night cream, and that little bit of mascara that ends up…
As you know from a previous post, I got a haircut I didn’t expect or necessarily like. It has been a learning experience since then, trying out new products, tools, and methods to style the new ‘do. One of the biggest changes is I now have thick blunt bangs. With naturally wavy hair, it’s not…

I have wavy hair like yours and I was wondering if you could tell me how you styled it and the products you used. I wash and condition with either L’Oreal Vive Pro or Pureology Hydrate. Pureology is far better than L’Oreal – thicker, richer, kinder to the hair and keeps color far longer but…
I am about to start my first internship in D.C. this fall and can’t wait. I was wondering if you have any recommendations for subtle office-appropriate lipstick? Preferably something by Revlon or an inexpensive brand. I love wearing red lipstick but don’t want to look too crazy in the office. Thank you! Red lipstick doesn’t…
