I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard the phrase “bleach this hair” throughout my career. Heck, I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve said it myself before learning more about it. The Cambridge and American Dictionaries define “bleach” and “bleaching” as “to remove the colour from something or make it lighter, withContinue reading “Bleach versus Lightener – What you should know”

The concepts of “nature” and “natural”
Towards the beginning of my Nature and Humanity course, we ventured into the topic of “nature” and “natural” and what those words mean to us and how they’re used in day to day speech in ways that are effective, problematic, and everywhere in between.

It’s been a while
And I’m not going to make apologies or excuses. I’m a real person with a real life to handle in addition to my business. But I do miss everyone. What’s been keeping me so busy?

Are laundry detergent sheets a new thing? Somewhat. Is Kind the only companyContinue reading “Kind Laundry”
MUD/WTR
MUD/WTR has a really weird name. I know. And yet, I enjoy it immensely. What is it exactly? The short version is it’s a coffee replacement beverage but really you can drink it anytime you want. Since it doesn’t have a high caffeine content, it’s delightful any time of the day. MUD\WTR™ is a coffeeContinue reading “MUD/WTR”
