I’m joining in on The Other Mama’s blog carnival, Friday Favorites. And so I’m sharing a few of my favorite things.
#1) Clairol Perfect 10 Hair Color. Because paying $80 for a hair color job (on long hair) and then having roots start to show within two weeks does not cut it, folks. I can get by on five weeks (six if I push it) between coloring, and it costs me $10 at my local Target. I’ve tried other brands, but this one seems to hold the best and looks the most natural. So if you’re bemoaning those pesky silver tyrants (as Mary over at Giving Up On Perfect was the other day), keep this product in mind. Oh, and it comes with this amazing conditioner that makes my hair feel like silk. You’ve got to try it. (Note: I’m not being paid for this, although Clairol is welcome to send me a freebie if they’re so inclined. I won’t turn them down.)
#2) Avon’s Advance Techniques Color Reviving Shampoo and Conditioner. Honestly, I’ve tried the pricier brands and I think this works much better, and it’s so inexpensive! Again, I’m all for saving money. If you haven’t tried it before, go ahead and give it a test run.
#3) Culinary Circle Rosemary and Olive Oil Artisan Bread from Albertsons. Okay, so there is no logical progression here . . . from hair care to bread. This just happens to be my latest obsession. I picked up a loaf for no apparent reason the other week (must have stopped in during the middle of a carb craving). And now, I am totally addicted. I’m going to go broke if I keep buying it (good thing I’m saving money in the hair care department). Fortunately, I discovered a recipe online and I’m hoping it will taste similar. I’ll have to try making it and get back to you with the results (though it could be another mishap, like my previous crumpet experiment).
Well, we’re having another gorgeous, sunny, 50-something degree day here in Idaho. Must get out and enjoy it now . . . and walk off that piece of bread I just ate. : )
Thanks for visiting. For more Friday Favorites, head on over to Hillary’s blog.
I love the hair tips and might have to give you some b’ness with the mascara! And the shampoo sounds fab.
I’m right there with you; I’ve never met a carb I don’t like. We used to have Albertson’s and LOVED it… but they all changed to Bruno’s- the Southern Family Markets in Alabama. So sad. I miss the big blue A.
Obviously I needed this, since I’ve started down the road to gray!
I worked at a place called the “Possum Trot” (I know, terrible name) they made rosemary bread. It still makes me drool, and I haven’t eaten there for a long time. YUMMY. I wish we had an Albertsons close by… big sigh
I am so glad to get that hair color recommendation. I’m paying a TON to have my hairdresser just do hilites, and I keep asking her for all-over color, but she just won’t do it. I’m dying. Seriously, it’s getting embarrassing to go out. I may just have to try that stuff. Hmmmm.
Hi! I’ve always wondered about that color kit - thanks for the review! Have a great week.
Idaho?! You’re the first blogger I’ve met from Idaho so I need to come back. I love variety. So haircare and bread in one breath works for me. Came over from Hillary’s carnival. See you again soon!
Whoot! I’m all for Clairol! Haven’t tried the Perfect 10 yet…still getting by with Natural Instincts.
Let us know about the homemade rosemary bread.
Oh man. I am really needing to do something about the hair color cost thing. Crazy business.
