NO-POO'ing: WHAT IS IT? if you haven't heard of this, no-poo basically just means, no shampooing. you still clean your hair, but you just don't use shampoo! with a little internet searching, i found three basic & different ways people do this: you simply rinse the hair with just water. yep, ju ..read more

during a very short, sweet and hectic trip to the bay area, i was reminded of the allergies i had left behind. runny noses mean lots of nose blowing, which can mean chapped and sore noses and upper lips. enter acne-safe lipbalm.  i was able to get triple duty out of my trusted skinsalvation lipbalm (that right now, has our very "limited-edition, trial-and-error-new-name-that-won't-work" label lol) to save the day. moisture, SPF protection AND soothing, i simply smoothed it over the chapped areas and got near-instant relief. so, if you're in a pinch and ..read more

ok. so i have to admit i signed up for the open app one late night because i have a crush on the founder, manoj dias - meditation teacher, author, speaker and breathwork instructor. i saw an ad for a "7 days to genuine love" series.. and it was a whole month later did i realize it was $150 for an annual subscription (whoa), so needless to say i have been motivated to use it more, lol. thankfully, it's turned out to be a really great app. i've been able to stay grounded, focused, energized and/or relaxed while traveling through the many BIPOC + ally guided ..read more
