The Best Cheap Shampoos and Conditioners!

Okay, so I wash my hair pretty often, say about 2-3 times a week. I wash Bear's hair just as much. Needless to say, we go through a lot of shampoo and conditioner.

The Only Fake Eyelashes You’ll Ever Need

Over the last several years, there’s a been a beauty trend of wearing fake eyelashes. Now, I’m not going to say I’m not a fan of them because I wore them when I got married.

With the news of COVID-19, and the urgency of people to wash their hands and using hand sanitizer at an all-time high, there is also something that isn't talked about - how dry your hands can be after all of the handwashing. I'm using to washing my hands a lot. Since Bear was born, that's really what we did several times a day. Change his diaper? Wash hands. Feed
