It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
So I had great success with Avon Lotus Shield Frizz Control leave-in conditioner, which– as advertised– kept my hair sleek and smooth for three days. Since my hair is thick, curly, and generally unmanageable, I am dependent on great products and styling to give it a civilized appearance. After significant testing, I definitely believe that…
Yesterday I showed you how Avon Lotus Shield de-frizzed my naturally mischievous hair.

I love a free and creative approach to style so I applaud that,…

No matter what you’re wearing, a brilliant smile is the best accessory, which is why I’m always on the lookout for new dental care products. I’ve written before about my Sonicare toothbrush. While I love it, though, it’s not for everyone. It’s a bit of an investment, and because you must periodically purchase replacement brush heads for…
