My children are obsessed with watching YouTube lately. Every time I turn around, it seems like they’re watching another video where someone is making slime. I get it. I loved slime as a kid too.

Is it just me, or did your roots start looking crazy week two of quarantine? At the 5 week mark, I knew I had to do something, so that’s why I decided to attempt to do my own shadow root hair color at home. Just a few weeks before COVID hit, I had gotten some…
This post is sponsored by Policygenius. All opinions are my own. Policygenius reached out to me in January to partner on a life insurance post.
