If you have long hair, you have probably noticed that the ends are drier than the rest of your hair. Only natural when you think about how old it is. That's where this shampoo bar comes into play. Gotta love anything by Lush... at least I'm a big fan.

Is this hairstyle too severe?? Thumbs up or down?? I will tell you why I want to know later. ;)

"A recent Chicago College of Dentistry study showed that people who rinsed their mouths with black tea multiple times a day had less plaque buildup than those who rinsed with water. 'Polyphenols in tea suppress the bacterial enzyme that triggers plaque accumulation,' says Christine D. Wu, Ph.D., the lead study author. 'Drinking tea a few times a day could have the same effect.'" I don't really like the taste of tea, but hey, I can certainly rinse and spit with the best of them!

Have you ever considered how fast you eat? At your next meal, try this… pick up something with your fork, put it into your mouth and chew. Before you pick up your next bite, finish chewing and then swallow. Believe it or not, we have a habit of shoveling food in at an amazing rate.

Fill up a water bottle and keep it with you all day long. You will be amazed at how often you reach for that bottle, rather than to the refrigerator.

And yes, it's finally hot here again. I'm in tank tops again!! So, that water is even more important!! Drink up!

 They can be be tamed in seconds with a touch of pomade. All you have to do is warm the product a little by rubbing a small amount between your palms and then "gliding" lightly over your hair. You want an even coating distributed over your fly aways. That's pretty much all there is to it!

Actually, I take my daughter shopping with me. She is about the only person I know, honest enough to tell me when something looks good or something looks hideous. Would your best friend tell you that? If so, take her along.

Taking a friend (or your daughter) has other benefits too. My daughter is always picking up items that I would never have considered and sure enough, the color and the fit is perfect. She is also great for running back for different sizes. ;)
