OLD PRODUCTS IN YOUR HAIR CLOSET? GET RID OF THEM!

What does your hair closet look like? I say hair closet because many of us, myself included, have become a product junkie, especially since being on a team-natural journey.

But what should you do with your left over, unused products? And how long is too long to hang on to them. Hair products do not have the longevity you think, especially if they are organic products. Typically, products tend to have a shelf life of three years. Preservatives within these products make that possible, by keeping it fresh and not expiring prematurely. Organic products which lack...

I could not count the amount of money I have wasted by throwing away makeup that I thought was trash, when I could have fixed it. There is no need to throw your money away on perfectly good makeup! If you happen to break your powder makeup, you can easily fix it with alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and patience!  This works for any kind of powder based makeup, such as bronzers, blot powders, eye shadows, whatever! All you need is a few drops of alcohol into your broken powder compact. Usually it would be said to use 75%+ based alcohol, but this is because the more alcohol concentrate, the faster it dries. Any percentage of alcohol will do though, because I like to leave it out to...

Objects like shopping carts, gas station pumps, restaurant chairs, door knobs, and bus handles don’t get washed very often! Say “no” to sugar and alcohol. It may be tempting when it’s cold outside, but that baked treat and spiked hot cocoa are your immune system’s worst enemies....
