Working hard…at work
Hey all! I haven’t updated this week as much as I’d like to. Work is getting busy and I want to get a couple of things completed before I jet off to New York (yay!!) next week. I do have a couple of non-hair related posts that I’m working on in my head and will,…

Moisturize your situation – Part 1
