How do you feel about cold weather? I am a warm-blooded person. I need heat and warmth. However, please keep humidity away. My hair, most certainly, detests humidity. Waking up to 100-degree Florida summers, for example, is unbearable to the overall well-being of my hair. Which is why […]
What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today? I have several closets full of dresses and more dresses. A closet full of shoes and more shoes. A closet maxed out in blouses, shirts, and jeans. And, many of these are older than a decade. I just can’t follow that […]
