For curly/wavy hair products, have you tried anything by Curl Smith yet? I discovered them four years ago and every product I've used has been amazing. I currently love the Weightless Air Dry Cream + Bouncy Strength Foam for putting in wet curls and then letting them air dry (on days when I don't have to leave the house immediately, because wet hair outside in winter = no thanks). Plus, you can buy travel size versions of most of their products, so that's a great way to test them out without committing to a full size!
I tried some Curl Smith years ago, so it seems like time to try again! I'll see if I can sneak in a solo trip to Ulta this week for travel sizes to try. Thanks for the rec!
What a lovely piece! So many wonderful nuggets of magic. The stuffed salmon recipe sounds delicious!!!! I’m really grateful you shared my piece, and that it resonated with you. I definitely feel we need more openness around postpartum. Xxx
Yes and amen to humdrum, grown-up self care! I’ve been focusing on this too, and I’ve also noticed a big difference in my winter mood this year compared to last year. Moisturizer, reliably nourishing and simple meals, a cozy sweatshirt (from Novel Pairings!), and freshening up my apartment all felt like such a grown-up gift to myself this month. 💛✨
Kinky curly leave in conditioner (I find it at target) is the only leave in that I’ve had good luck with because it’s light enough and cheap enough (if I had all the $ I’d use the Deva Curl light leave in I began my curly journey with).
I love these edits, Chelsey!
