Things I Actually Spend Time Thinking About

And things I'll never write about here

Hello, Gorgeous!

This morning I noticed a few posts pop up on my timeline about the dread of wash day. Having spent nearly four years consulting and creating copy for a haircare brand, I knew this was a real issue. I understood that significant time and effort went into planning the perfect shampooing, conditioning, and treatment options. Not for me, mind you.

This isn’t me

My summer routine for my baby fine hair is much like my winter or fall routine. It takes less than five minutes and goes something like this:

  • Wash

  • Condition

  • Air dry

  • Find a scrunchie and a hat

But I do spend time thinking about other things, and I’m always happy to hear what’s on your mind. I also spend a lot of time not only testing and researching products, but also making choices about what I don’t include. So for instance, you will not be reading about some of these things.
