It Doesn't Do It All, But It Does Enough


Recently, the sole cosmetic/beauty product store in my town went out of business. The store was called Plain Jane, and they had an amazing selection of products (it certainly was not because of me that they went out of business!). They had a closing sale: 50% off everything!! Not the time for my hubbie to be out of a job. I really could have done some damage, but I controlled myself, and bought only $85 worth of stuff (that's after the half-off discount). One of the things I picked up was BUMBLE AND BUMBLE's does it all Styling Spray. I used it a few times, thought it was ok, very light hold, but nothing special as a hairspray. Then, I read the back of the can and realized it's not really a hairspray in the traditional Aqua Net sense. Before styling, you are instructed to hold about 10 inches away from hair and spray in fluid, even strokes; when using with heat tools, separate hair into sections and mist each just prior to contact. So I did that before using my hot rollers, and it did the trick! I have fine hair, but a decent amount of it, and my curls tend to fall a lot sooner then I would like. But at the end of the day after using does it all, my curls were still in place and my hair had a good amount of fullness left (I'm a big hair girl, y'all - lived in Atlanta for a while). I'm still stuck on hairspray, but anything that can keep curls in without making my hair crunchy, is a great buy - I may even pay full price next time!

Get Yourself Screened!!

Yeah, I don't have skin cancer! I had my annual full-body check today with the dermatologist, and I had a few spots I was concerned with, but the dr. gave me a clean bill of health. Whew. But I am one of the lucky ones. I read so many articles these days about skin cancer, and since I had so many sunburns as a young girl, I'm nervous about something developing. Read these facts from Olay , who has teamed up with the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery to sponsor free screenings across the country: Did you know... One person dies every hour from skin cancer. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer. Skin cancer in women under 40 has tripled in the past 30 years. Five sunburns double a woman's chance of getting skin cancer. UV exposure at tanning salons is just as risky as sunbathing outside. People with fair skin that burns rather than tans, people with red hair and people with blue eyes are at greater risk of developing skin cancer. People who have many (extens...

DOVE Giveaway!!!

On May 1st, I wrote about the new DOVE Ultimately Visibly Smooth Wild Rose Anti-Perspiring/Deodorant (click here to read). Well, it's been almost 8 weeks since I started using it, and I'm happy to say that overall I'm really pleased with this new deodorant. It has made the hair softer and, surprisingly, I did notice that my underarms do look better and smoother. I've always had issues with that, because as someone who is pale but has dark hair, even when freshly shaven my underarms still didn't look quite hair-free (this was particularly angst-inspiring during my teenage years). But the other day I noticed my underarms looked really good and didn't have the pit-version of the five o'clock shadow going on. Yay! DOVE wanted to give you the chance to try this new product (if you haven't already!) and is going to give 2 lucky readers a full-size DOVE Ultimately Smooth Wild-Rose Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant , along with coupons for $2 off future purchases of U...
