Growing up, I was told in no uncertain terms that you had to wash your hair every single day. This was not presented as a suggestion. This was gospel. Daily hair washing was right up there with brushing your teeth and saying thank you. You didn’t question it. […]
Ah, Fridays! The sweet anticipation of the weekend ahead after a long, hard week. But what makes this particular Friday different? Well, it started with treating myself to something I’ve been needing for a while—some good old-fashioned pampering. After days of deadlines, emails, and the general grind, I […]
I just finished binge-watching the Netflix show called “You.” If you haven’t watched the show, it’s basically about a creepy, stalker charming killer guy.
