There wasn’t any skiing or beaches involved, but it was so nice to do little things with her every day, like going to the pet store to visit the guinea pigs, and going to the park together. We didn’t have the most exciting spring break. I feel a little less gross, and that’s all that matters to me.Ĭonnor’s back to preschool this week, and I miss her terribly. Sometimes people stare…but honestly I don’t even care. I pop a squat next to one of my tires, and I wash my hands right there in the parking lot.

I don’t know why I didn’t think to do this until now, but a friend of mine recently told me that she whenever she has to drive to the store or go out into the world now she always washes her hands when she gets back to her car with her portable water and soap, rather than just using a hand sanitizer. From now until the end of time, I’ll have water, soap and a towel in my trunk. That way, you can always wash your hands - WITH SOAP AND WATER! - when you’re out and about and return to your car. If I were still coloring my mane, I’d definitely be stockpiling.Īs you know, we’re all fastidiously washing our hands these days, so, with that mind, when you get a moment, place the following items into the trunk of your car: a big bottle of water, hand soap and a towel. I used to use root spray back in the day, and the L’Oréal one is pretty good (although the best one, hands down, is Rita Hazan’s). You pick a shade that matches your hair color, spray a little on your roots to hide them, et voila! MAGIC! The color comes out the next time you shampoo your hair, so FYI, they aren’t permanent. Root sprays are basically like concealer, but for your hair, and they’re great for when you’re between coloring appointments.

They also have high-shine finish, which I love.įYI, at the Costco in Novato, the color selection’s pretty limited. The polishes dry quickly, last a long time, and they’re soooo easy to remove (no special gel-removing accoutrements or any complicated processes with foils). I’ve got mad love for the Gel Coutures and think they’re among the best things Essie makes.
