Keritan Treatment

So I took my sisters advice and decided to try the Keritan Treatment on my hair. I am doing it for the conditioning benefit more than the straightening. She however lives in phila. and they offer a 24 hour one there which is not available here. So I am on day 2 of a 3 day treatment. Hair is flat and very strait. I can't pull it back or clip it. It just has to hang there looking a bit drippy and lifeless for a few days. I feel the need to explain to everyone why my hair looks like this. Including my sons dentist. He didn't really care. Anyway I will let you know what happens. ;)

Another pretty nail polish

You all may already know this one, but Wicked is another good nail polish color for fall/winter color. Essie brand.

Good daily cleanser

Just saying that if you need a good everyday face wash, Origins Checks and Balances is great. I like it and my 16 year old daughter likes it.

Eye liner question

Could someone tell me how to apply eyeliner without it getting everywhere. I keep trying to use it but it never looks right.. Think about it while you are out saving the world and let me know.

Great hair product

For people with thickish hair (me) who are looking to calm and smooth it down, Kerastase (once again) has a leave in serum called Oleo Relax. It comes in an orange bottle. Just a quarter size amount spread thru out damp hair especially ends works. I love it. I can get it at CVS. Really good stuff.

FYI Another tidbit to keep in mind. When traveling overseas where the electrical outlets are different, beware of the adaptor and the flat iron combination. I learned the hard way that the adapter (or at least the one I used in London) heats up the flat iron to a metal melting temperature. Not only does it fry your hair, but it then proceeds to blowout, terminating the flatiron. I am still dealing with that lovely event a year later. I mentioned this to someone else who also had this happen to them so this isn't just a typical "only could happen to me" story.

Here is some info on the IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial you can get at your dermatologist office. Many of you probably already have tried it since it has been around for a while. I did it a while ago (couple of years) on my face which worked rather well in terms of getting rid of sun spots. That is a good thing, however, I then tried it to get rid of some sun damage on my chest area which did not work so well. It actually made matters worse, more dark spots and skin damage. So I would be very careful about having it done on the chest. I have no idea why I reacted that way. So beware. I have also heard that if you are darker skinned this is probably not a good idea for you. It could give you white spots.
