During this coronavirus quarantine I've been watching a load of Youtube videos. People doing day to day activities, even if it were last year's videos, are so calming.

Hair Products you shouldn’t be buying from a name brand
Name brand products can offer some amazing quality, the problem is that you pay for it as well. Every name brand will not only sell you their add-ons like hair clips, sectioning clips, brushes, etc. Those you products that cost pennies to make and offer HUGE profits for a company.

In Defense of the Double Cleanse
I have had the worst problem with my dry skin this year. Normally I can manage drinking more water, touching my face less, and using a humidifier. This year, however, has been murder.
