I have to say again, this 8-second wonder water that you put on for 8 seconds after shampooing, is a fantastic affordable product!
I have used it 5x now (didn’t need it for the last 3 months because I had a salon smoothing thing in my hair, not Keratin but Inca Glow, which is awesome but $$$). Each time I used this stuff my hair came out looking its best, super smooth, held a style, frizz free, volume. I didn’t put it anywhere near my scalp, and I don’t think you’re supposed to. And I don’t know what would happen if you used it all the time, though it says you can.
I have tried the Color Wow Dream Coat, which is more expensive, and it does get rid of frizz and works really well, but it also made my hair flat. It says not to use any other styling products with it. I think you can put some volumizer in the roots, but eh, I never loved the results.
These products are heat-activated though, so they won’t work as well if you don’t blow-dry (though Dream Coat has a curly version).
Another product I’ve been loving for air-drying is bumble + bumble curl defining cream. I have waves not curls, so I just don’t use a ton of it, but it’s definitely my favorite curl cream.
But a couple weeks ago I went on this tiki boat in Salem harbor that my friend had reserved back in March. It’s only for 6 people and they take you out and make awesome drinks. Highly recommend that if you ever go.
Lord, have you ever been to Salem in the fall? Such a shitshow! I mean, being local and the traffic situation, it’s out of control. Also that place traumatized me with the Witch Museum on a field trip in 4th grade.
Yeah so that article MJ shared seems to think employers will not want to push back too much on religious exemptions.
I always had one as a kid, until I wanted to get into college, and there was never any issue. But nor was there any epidemic or outbreak ever going on in our community. During this pandemic, CS are doing the right thing and getting vaccinated.
So I do anticipate anti-vaxxers going out and getting bogus exemptions (my friend did that a few years ago, I think a Catholic one though she was not religious), and I anticipate their employers largely accepting them because they don’t want to have legal exposure. We’ll see.
Yeah, the fake religious exemptions piss me off as much as the fake vaccine cards.
And it looks like some Evangelical pastors have encouraged congregations to get it.
I can vouch for Christian Scientists largely getting it if that’s who you’re referring to. They don’t ban medicine and they do follow public health guidelines.
bUt it’S fOr HuManS!
Jesus Christ, these people and their misunderstanding of HIPAA, not to mention their willingness to take ANY drug that’s rumored on social media to have any link to COVID, or even drink bleach, but not take an FDA-approved vaccine.
That’s awesome.
Oh fuck, the saddest thing. My neighbor upstairs who’s 86 was just going to get a haircut and he told me he’s not doing great, he’s so isolated, he really only talks to his cousins on zoom. He said for 3 years he felt like his friend who he lived with (he says “dear friend” but I’m sure they were partners) who died of Alzheimer’s, was with him, and he always talked to him.
But THEN recently he mentioned that to our other neighbor whose husband just passed, like to see if she experienced the same thing. And she was like, “well, does he say what you think you want to hear, or what he really would say?” Kind of implying that he was just imagining it. And then right after that, poof, he stopped hearing him and he’s gone. So before, he felt like he had his partner around still for company, but now he’s ALL alone. This is awful. My aunt’s not so great either, she’s also super isolated, but at least she has all the nurses around to talk to her. This guy lives alone.
It’s definitely going to take mandates in the US to get us to the point that the fucking thing stops mutating and getting people sick. It does seem like the seriousness of the situation with Delta now is making some of the hesitant change their minds. But there will still be too many who are living in the upside-down and will never do it as long as they have a choice.
And then there’s the problem of getting the rest of the world vaxxed.
