I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED THIS BECAUSE I’VE BEEN WAITING TO TALK ABOUT IT

I’ve tried so many different shampoos over the years from high to low end and for a while I tried to only use shampoos that didn’t have certain toxic ingredients but it made my hair look like shit. Finally I returned to my OLD FAITHFUL, Kirkland Signature shampoo (I use the conditioner too in between hair masks)!!! It gets my hair nice and clean without damaging it/drying it out or making it weird and oily, it smells like frosting (many will hate this), it used to be said that it was a dupe for Purology, and it’s sooo cheap and comes in such large bottles that I don’t try to get my money’s worth out of it and make it last a long time. Big fan I’ve been using it again for a couple of months now

Shampoo

I always turn to VO5 shampoo or the green Suave bottle. Sometimes you need your head to be fresh and clean and this is what shampoo is for. But I don’t really understand paying large amounts of money to degrease my hair. VO5 is a good way to fly under the radar and it provides really consistent results. Every time I use a shampoo that’s weird or nice I never know what I’m going to look like when I wake up. I specifically enjoy the strawberries and cream flavor of VO5, I like seeing the picture of the strawberry on the bottle and I like the Pepto Bismol color. I’m remembering now too that this is what my dad and grandfather both used to buy for me and I think that’s cute.

not your mothers plump for joy dry shampoo

used this while i stayed w one off my besties Jess. not only does it SMELL good but it doesn’t leave a white car in my hair and gives it some voooolume! i have fairly thick Asian hair n usually dry shampoo leaves the worst white cast and makes it feel gross. still don’t like how dry shampoo feels but this bc it’s the best i’ve used so far. also like the Aussie one but i think they discontinued it 😪 oh warning it DID leave a white cast when i was at the very end of the bottle

WEARING PERFUME TO BED

People underestimate the power of the olfactory when it comes to coaxing yourself to sleep. Melatonin has just given me schizo dreams so I started spritzing myself with a few calming fragrances right before bed and it really changed everything. Not only is it a totally decadent and regal thing to do, it really does help you go to sleep. I go for Le Labo Ylang if I'm feeling really bougie but otherwise I'll do a dupe of Tom Ford Ombré Leather or Lust by Lush. Speaking of Lush, solid perfumes are EXCELLENT for this as they smell great, last a long time, and it can take years to run out.

being alone in public

I don't mean going to get groceries or Starbucks or something. I mean a bar or a movie or a diner-- places where you're expected to have company. Can either highlight some areas you need to improve psychologically or can make you feel totally sublime and alive

BOOTLEG VHS TAPES

I've become a pretty intense VHS collector over the last year and one of the great joys of this new hobby has been all of the good people online selling fanmade tapes of contemporary movies. They take the graphic design for the packaging VERY seriously and it's such a unique and lovingly made novelty item to have in your house. Plus they're actually playable and watching some straight-to-Netflix type shit with VHS grain makes you feel like you've stepped through a portal to another world. I think the hyperrealness of 4K HD we're all subject to is evil and everyone should have a VCR.
