Remember when Memorial Day Weekend came with a whole set of fashion rules? For example, white before this day was strictly prohibited, and nautical was strongly encouraged. However, now that we’ve got bigger fish to fry (like a pandemic), some of the rules have fallen to the wayside. It’s hard to focus on staying trendy when safety calls for gloves and masks. 

Curling irons are one of the more elusive beauty tools that we have at our disposal. They aren’t like flat irons, which are pretty self-explanatory in terms of directions and results. We use a flat iron to get chic and straight. But, curling irons open a whole new world of possibilities.

Choosing a curling iron is a decision that comes with three important factors: Your hair type, your curl preference, and your lifestyle. You might be someone who loves to curl your hair often, but find that your locks don’t match the looks you’ve prowled the YouTube tutorials for. Hair curling technique can be tricky at times, but it’s pretty likely that you aren’t using the right curling iron for you or your desired look. And, when it comes to curlers, there are a lot of options out there.

Between drive-by birthdays and zoom tequila shots on Cinco de Mayo, it can feel as if our current circumstances have rendered holidays somewhat meaningless. But, there’s one celebration that we can’t throw to the wayside, or even celebrate in a mediocre way. That day is, of course, Mother’s Day.

Working from home is a small silver lining during these chaotic times. There’s something so relaxing about doing your work in your PJs or from the comfort of your own living room. But, most of us who are working from home aren’t completely off the hook. There are still meetings to attend, they just happen to be virtual. 

Quarantine has canceled tons of plans, but no way is Mother’s Day going to be one of them! It’s the one day a year when your mom can be reminded that all the hardships you put her through as an angsty teen were well worth it. We’d call that essential business, wouldn’t you? 

The birds are chirping and pollen is everywhere. It’s spring, which is potentially the best season of all. It’s a symbol for rebirth, hope, youth, and growth. That’s potentially why so many people go through phases of spring cleaning during this time. And while it’s not always fun to be cleaning, the aftermath feels incredible.

For many people, hair tools are something that are kept forever (until they simply stop working). However, what people don’t understand is that all tools have an expiration date! In fact, sometimes that expiration date is as little as two years.

Many people have taken to FaceTime to replace in-person dating, and it’s working out for them! They can date in PJ bottoms and nobody is the wiser; however, FaceTime Tinder dating doesn’t mean you should ignore your hair. In fact, there are hairstyles that really don’t work for FaceTime dating.
