Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum. Apply this on dry hair, before you style it. I usually try to let my hair air dry, rather than blow it dry, but that makes for a lot of frizzy strays and an overall texture I don't like. This serum sort of "weighs" my hair down to a manageable level and softens it, which makes it easier to straighten, curl, or just put up in a pony tail (which seems to be more common for me these days. Ha!) . A little bit goes a long way! Don't use to much, otherwise it makes your hair feel oily. I also use it on my 3 year old patient's hair. She has really coarse, curly hair. This serum allows me to actually get a brush through it.
Believe it or not, I didn't set up this up. When I took the picture my lotion happened to be sitting on our countertop next to the watermelon. Don't know why... Anyway- Eucerin cream! The women in my family have been using this for years! We all have really dry skin. I'm pretty sure I have eczema on my legs (never had an official diagnosis) . Applying this on my legs (especially right out of the shower) has helped immensely. FYI, it's very thick! It really takes some elbow grease to work it into your skin. It's worth it, though.
I love this stuff! John loves it too, but he prefers the medium to spicy kinds, which I can't handle. It's best on tilapia corn tortilla tacos! The jars are small and the salsa goes fast, so I like to buy 3 at a time. It's great in pretty much any Mexican food meal.
Good to know!- I read the following text in a review for Listerine Mouthwash on Amazon:
I am a dentist who uses Listerine on a daily basis. Without going into boring scientific detail, I use the product because it works - it kills germs associated with gingivitis and bad breath. To maximize the positive effects of Listerine, it has to be used correctly, so here are my recommendations:
1. Use it at least two times per day, in the morning and in the evening before bed. Yes, Listerine does kill millions of germs as advertized, but those germs replicate very fast and will return to regular levels in a very short period of time, so by using it twice or even three times per day, you keep germs depressed all day long.
2. Don't just swish with Listerine. Instead, put a "small" amount in your mouth, and then gently brush your teeth with your toothbrush, working the Listerine into the crevases between your teeth and gums, and in between your teeth. These are the areas where gingivitis germs grow and do damage to your gums. Since Listerine kills germs by direct contact, you want to get the product into the gum pockets to cleanse them - so use your toothbrush!
3. The longer you use Listerine, the better it works; so brush with it for at least 1-2 minutes per time. The longer contact time means more germs killed. After the teeth are clean, vigorously brush the top surface of the tongue to root out the germs that cause bad breath.
4. After cleaning your teeth with Listerine, you should briefly brush them again with a fluoridated toothpaste. I don't care what brand of toothpaste you use, as long as it has the ADA seal of approval and has fluoride in it. Put a small amount on the brush and gently brush your teeth. Now here comes the important part, don't rinse with water afterwards! If you thoroughly rinse with water afterwards, you are rinsing off the beneficial fluoride. The goal is to leave it on your teeth as long as possible, so brush, spit out the excess and don't rinse.
5. Floss your teeth once daily. There is no rinse in the world that can kill the germs that infect the teeth and gums in-between your teeth, so it is essential to floss once per day, preferably before bed. This is just as important as brushing!
Do this every day and your teeth and gums will be as healthy as you can possibly get them at home. This effort will save you hundreds of dollars, for you will cut down on cavities and the need for expensive dental scalings.
Listerine is a good product. As a dentist I recommend it and use it myself. The Fresh Burst taste is a huge improvement over the original flavor, which I absolutely detest! Use a flavor of Listerine that is of your liking.
