IGK Good Behavior Spray for Smoother, Less Frizzy Hair
Lately, I have been trying haircare products from IGK. Today, I thought I would tell you about one of them, Good Behavior Smoothing Spray.

Happy Valentine’s Day 2024 to You!
If you are celebrating Valentine’s Day with whoever is important to you or on your own, I wish you a happy heart day! Valentine’s Day can be a strange celebration since not everyone feels included.

New Colorful Makeup Products from 2 Brands I Like
Two makeup brands that I like have just launched some new shades.

A Few Galentine’s Day Gift Ideas
It seems to me like Christmas and Hanukkah just ended, but here we are just about at Galentine’s and Valentine’s Day!
