Hair Perfumes vs. Regular Perfume Hair perfume is a fragrance mist that’s formulated especially for your hair and scalp and contains little to no alcohol. Traditional fragrance is often formulated with a high percentage of ethyl alcohol, which can be extremely drying to the hair and scalp, leaving it more prone to damage and breakage. According to Philip Berkovitz, founder of Phillip B haircare, “A product designated as an actual hair perfume is more likely to be infused with blends of essential oils, aloe vera, or oleosomes to encapsulate the scent and add moisture into the hair shaft....

Before my sister got married, I had the chance to host a fun bridal shower for her in Phoenix and try out some of these fun things to do in Phoenix while we were there! These Bohemian bridal shower ideas are some of my all-time favorites! It was a little tricky because we had to do it inside (Phoenix is HOT!), and we had to make do with what we could find in the rental home and a nearby thrift store since we were all flying in for the destination wedding....

I wanted readers to find new favorites during Black History Month. There’s nothing that I love more than finding out that a customer bought a book that I recommended, and they absolutely loved it. Books can be used as a form of escapism, and there’s nothing better than discovering a good book that you can lose yourself in. As a bookseller, I tend to love memoirs, because it can be hard to make your own life sound interesting to someone who doesn’t know you from Michelle Obama....

The history of this sweet, yet nutritious treat goes way back. One of civilization’s oldest cultivated crops, the date palm has been eaten for around 6000 years. They’re estimated to have originated around the Persian Gulf, and were cultivated from Mesopotamia to prehistoric Egypt as early as 4000 BCE. According to an NPR article, fossils prove that date palm trees thrived 50 million years ago. Sources say that ancient cultures called the date palm “the tree of life” and used all parts of the tree, from the trunk to the leaves....

First off, let me start this post with a little caveat. I say Disney movies because it’s shorter but really this is the full slate for the Walt Disney Studios which includes Disney, DisneyNature, Pixar, Marvel, and LucasFilm (aka Star Wars). I’m going to do something a little differently than most 2019 Disney movie lists I’ve seen out there. I’m going to give you a chronological list (with release dates) because that’s what most of you probably want, but then I’m going to put the Disney movies coming out in 2019 in order of which ones I’m most excited about first moving down to the ones that are still exciting but maybe not quite as exciting as say finding out what happens to my beloved Avengers....

One of the main differences and perks of a 401(k) compared to a traditional savings account is that many employers will match the money that you’ve contributed. According to Ubiquity Retirements and Savings, about 98 percent of employers offer 401(k) matching. Still, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that only 51 percent of Americans are investing in a 401(k) plan, even though 68 percent of Americans have access to one....

Every once in a while my husband and I go to a restaurant and have something that makes us say, “wow.” Back before we had kids, we went out to eat more often and one of our favorite places was Jaleo in Washington DC. We still talk about the tapas on the regular. But it was the chilled strawberry soup for dessert that made me crave Jaleo on a regular basis....

To give Raschelle’s hair definition, Redway applied TGIN Butter Cream Daily Moisturizer ($11; target.com), finger-coiled her wet hair, and then sat her under a portable dryer (try Otovan Hooded Dryer, $12; amazon.com). Once Raschelle’s hair was dry, Redway used a few drops of MarulaOil Rare Oil Treatment ($41; paulmitchell.com) on her fingers to separate the curls. Redway scrunched Nexxus Volumizing Mousse ($14; target.com) into Grace’s damp hair, diffused it, and then wrapped frizz-prone pieces around her fingers....

“Hot water is rough on our skin and can irritate and damage our skin barrier. Patients with eczema already have a damaged skin barrier layer, and over time, hot showers just make it worse,” says Papri Sarkar, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in Brookline, Mass. She adds that her patients with eczema are sometimes extra tempted to take a hot shower because it can be temporarily soothing to their itchy skin....
