Simple solution: Keeping tabs on home hair coloring

Do you color your own hair? (OK, don’t answer that. No one needs to know.)

However, if you do dye your own hair, using either demi-permanent or permanent hair coloring (or even highlights or temporary hair glitter), here’s an easy way to keep track of coloring dates and the products you have used.

Simply tear the top of the hair coloring product box. Usually, the product name and color number are printed on the top. Flip the top over, and write the date on the other side. Then tuck the box top into the bathroom cupboard or drawer.

That way, you will have your personal hair coloring information handy, right at that crazy moment when you happen to look in the bathroom mirror and see those tell-tale roots beginning to show.

Within a few months, you may have a growing collection of hair coloring product box tops, so you can look back and consider which hues you liked the most and how often you needed to re-apply your dye.

It’s that simple!

Easy Freebie: Eucerin Professional Repair Lotion

 Who needs a little midwinter freebie? How about some free skin-care lotion?

Apparently, you can get a Free Sample of Eucerin Professional Repair Lotion (while supplies last) by checking a simple skin-care pledge box and filling in your mailing information.

Oh, you also have to choose from a few different sample options. When I chose, one was already out of stock.

What’s the Eucerin skin-care pledge?

It says this (quoted verbatim – with no editorial or grammatical corrections):

• I pledge to protect and defend my skin as it does me.
• I pledge to make skincare a priority for me, my family, and friends.
• I pledge to treat my skincare more like healthcare.

I just did the signup, and it was simple.

You can even un-check the box that requests extra promotional mailings and updates, if you don’t want to receive these. (I un-checked it.)

Now we’ll just see how long it takes for the sample to come in the mail – and whether I’ve just made a new promotional Pen Pal without intending to do so. 

I'm all for free samples, Eucerin, but that would certainly get under my skin.

Disclaimer: I am neither employed nor affiliated in any way with the product/s mentioned herein or anyone associated with it. I received no remuneration or compensation from the manufacturer/s for this post,  although I am looking forward to receiving the free sample described herein.

Does Each Woman Have Her Own Signature Scent?

Celebrities, fashion designers and others develop and market perfumes, from affordable and trendy to posh and pricey. Experts claim each scent will respond uniquely on each individual, producing an individual fragrance.

My favorite scent is probably Tresor by Lancome. This scent can be tricky to find, but the sweet and subtle blending of roses and other florals is quite special.

For every day use, I also like Lady Stetson. As a horse enthusiast, why not?
