Function of dubs

Because I spend an insane amount of time on the internet these days I find all sorts of things I never knew I needed...you know, until now.  

But, for real, I do need to get some new pots and pans so if you've got a "go-to" that you love send me a link.

Anyway, I've been seeing custom shampoo adds for the longest time (just started singing Billy Joel...keeping it real) and the thing that I love about the apple cider vinegar shampoo that I use is that it doesn't make my hair look/feel greasy and I can go at least two days between washes. What I don't love about it is how it makes my hair feel when I'm rinsing, like it's slimy and not clean. Regular shampoos dry out my hair and since it's been easily 6 months since I've had a haircut (maybe longer) my hair doesn't need any help in the dry/damaged department.

So I ordered some shampoo from a company called Function of Beauty. I actually researched this company as well as another company, Prose, but ultimately decided that this was the better deal. I took a hair quiz and chose the things that were most important to me (shine, heat protection, etc.) and then I got to choose my fragrance/fragrance level (Options were limited but I went with some type of peach and medium fragrance level) and then I got to pick my color. I picked purple but it was hard to choose. You know you're scraping the bottom of the "life" barrel when you get excited to pick your shampoo/conditioner color.

I've already decided my next color/fragrance combo will be pink/cherry blossom. It's set up for new shampoo to come every three months and I can adjust as needed. I washed my hair with it last night and let it air dry. My hair feels super soft/smooth and the fragrance is not so much that it's overwhelming. When I woke up this morning my hair was not the freaking train wreck that it normally is and that was also impressive.

I did a Zoom with some students to discuss the essay that I assigned them. We went over the entire document and, no lie, I kept turning my head so I could smell my hair. They're used to me being weird by now. It's fine.  Anyway, now I'm working on reading their DBQs in an attempt to give them some feedback before we go into the real thing in a few weeks. It's not pretty.

I've also got to get my butt in gear and finish packing but I really don't want to. What I WANT to do is...I don't even know. Maybe I'll listen to some Arctic Monkeys while I figure it out.
