I tried so many different branded hair masks and nothing has worked as well for me as just pure coconut oil. I buy a big tub of cold pressed 100% pure coconut oil and apply a generous amount all over my scalp (about 2 tbsp), leave it for as long as possible (if i have no where to go I put a little cap on and leave it all day), then work shampoo into my hair dry (oil doesn’t mix well with water) then wash out and condition. it leaves my hair feeling so nourished and clean!

Sorry this is so long 😅
I have straight, fine hair and I currently use the Herbal Essences rose hip shampoo. It's really great at adding shine and making my hair smooth and soft (also smells yummy 😋). I've also used the Maui Moisture lightweight hydration shampoo (the pink bottle) and liked it.
Another thing that has been a game-changer for my hair is double shampooing! Because my hair is so straight and fine, it gets oily very quickly. I discovered double shampooing recently (which is just shampooing twice) and it gives my hair a little volume and it can last longer without looking greasy. I do every other day!
For conditioners/leave-ins I highly recommend anything with jojoba oil! My hair LOVES it and since I'm assuming we have similar hair types yours might love it too.
This is an add-on but the Tsubaki Fino hair mask is affordable and makes my hair sooooo shiny!

There’s a creator on Instagram and tiktok called Lauren_dozier and she makes the most lovely flower shaped cookies
I made them recently and they turned out quite well- I used a ‘no spread’ sugar cookie recipe and gel food colouring 💓

We are so lucky to have such a wealth of music at our fingertips. The trial and error of working out what you like is so satisfying- once you find a song you like, you’ll find an album of theirs you love, a duet they’ve done with another artist who is now your new favourite, and so on. Let your music taste snowball!
old soul is my favourite, here are some recs:
Let’s Say Goodbye Tomorrow - Jimmy Ruffin
It’s All Right - Sam Cooke
Misty Blue - Dorothy Moore
Security - Otis Redding
Dearest Darling - Etta James
There is so much to explore!

Paper-based activities bring me back to my childhood, if I’m feeling extra-nostalgic I’ll sit on the floor and craft with all my journaling supplies spread about me.
It satiates something in me, to use my hands to create; my life ask less and less for dexterity, and requires less and less sitting on the floor all afternoon- it is meditative <3
