This is the thickest serum currently available from the Kerastase line that I have tried. One pump can easily be too much for my thick shoulder length hair so I use half a pump. Hair is left feeling healthy and moisturized, it also offers decent shine. I especially like using this for blowouts as it offers some heat protection and gives my hair a bit of weight so it is not nearly as puffy as it can be when I go without. I also use a small drop on my curly hair once it is dried as a sealant. Very similar to the old Loreal Professionals Textures blow dry balm and serum in the gold bottle from the mid 2000's. In fact, Im fairly certain this serum is identical to the serum from that now discontinued and much cheaper priced salon line.
This bottle will last you well beyond the 12 months listed on the bottle. Store it in a cool dry place (ie not the bathroom) and it will be fresh for years.

Dawn botanicals cherry blossom scent
Oh my gosh, Dawn can do no wrong with dish soaps. I refuse to buy any other brand at this point. This botanical line is fantastic, it is like doing dishes with shower gel from The Body Shop - which just makes doing dishes feel like less of a chore... +
Oh my gosh, Dawn can do no wrong with dish soaps. I refuse to buy any other brand at this point. This botanical line is fantastic, it is like doing dishes with shower gel from The Body Shop - which just makes doing dishes feel like less of a chore. You are rewarded with clean dishes and a lovely smelling kitchen afterwards! As usual, Dawn seems to eliminate grease, which is the real seller for me - I use a lot of oils in my food and my plates and tupperware never feel sticky after washing. The scent also does not adhere to things like I have had happen with other (admittedly cheaper) dish detergents in the past. I use this stuff to scrub down my tub too, works like a charm! -
Caprina Fresh Goat's Milk Soap
Smells fresh and clean but wont linger on your skin. I also like how this soap does not turn to a mushy mess in shower soap dish and leaves your skin feeling happy, not tight and itchy like other soaps can. I think it is the scent and the non-mush... +
Smells fresh and clean but wont linger on your skin. I also like how this soap does not turn to a mushy mess in shower soap dish and leaves your skin feeling happy, not tight and itchy like other soaps can. I think it is the scent and the non-mush factor that prompts me to always have a bar of this in my shower, I love Dove bars and usually have one in the shower too, but they can becomes a pain to clean up after so I don't use them nearly as often. -
Twinings Herbal Tea in Pomegranate & Raspberry
A nice sweet but not too sweet truly berry-tasting tea. I do not pick up much pomegranate. To my pallet this tastes like watered down black and red wine gums, with far less sugar of course. I like having this both hot and over ice. I will say that... +
A nice sweet but not too sweet truly berry-tasting tea. I do not pick up much pomegranate. To my pallet this tastes like watered down black and red wine gums, with far less sugar of course. I like having this both hot and over ice. I will say that the teabags themselves do not pack a huge amount of flavor and are good for only one or two cups, then it becomes too weak to even be perceptible. -
Twinings Honeybush Mandarin & Orange
Oh, this is nice! A nice sweet but not too sweet truly orange-tasting tea. I like having this both hot and over ice. I will say that the teabags themselves do not pack a huge amount of flavor and are good for only one cup - but it is a good cup!

Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon Apple Spice Tea
Lovely appiliness and cinnamon, served piping hot in your favorite mug. Reminds me of hot apple cider without being tootachinly sweet and zero calories to boot! Love this.

Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea
I don't know how they did it, but this legitimately tastes like sugar cookie dough. It has that uncooked dough taste about it, not just the sweetness from the sugar and vanilla. This is an odd one but I love it. Only found on the shelves seasonally.

I love teas. I especially love my fruity teas, which somehow have magically disappears from the shelves this winter. I cannot find full boxes of my many of my favorite Celestial Seasonings teas, but I have been able to find small doses of them in this variety box which thankfully continues to be shelved.
The blueberry and the cherry are winter favorites. The peach is nice over ice in the heat, as is the raspberry. I find the mixed berry a bit sour, but it is also nice with ice

Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice Tea
Extra cinnamony chai tea, like a sophisticated Big Red gum, .2% of the sugar, more peppery heat and add in more spice from the spice rack too. Smells like a bombastic 1980's womens perfume as a steeps. Perfect for sipping when wrapped up in a... +
Extra cinnamony chai tea, like a sophisticated Big Red gum, .2% of the sugar, more peppery heat and add in more spice from the spice rack too. Smells like a bombastic 1980's womens perfume as a steeps. Perfect for sipping when wrapped up in a blanket in the cold with a good book. I always have a backup box, no matter the season. -

I have dark brown, almost black hair. I have had salon highlights several times now and they always turn out orange and brassy. Enter this cheap little drugstore kit! Yes, at home bleaching kits are horrible for your hair, but my hair pulls warm with salon products, this beast dye gets me my cool toned caramel highlights every time. I go cheap with the bleach kit and I go expensive with the hair care products I use afterwards. Seems to work every time. It does not matter which of the two boxes I choose either, I like my result using either one. I do this kit about three times a year.
Tip : pull out small thin strands as much as possible, rather than big ones. People will think you had your hair done at a salon! Second tip: invest in a silicone/rubber reusable highlighting cap - the plastic ones in the kit work but can be a nightmare and tear half way through.
