    You really cannot go wrong with EOS brands of lip balms. They are smooth and silky, and provide great long lasting coverage. The packaging is beautifully designed, and the shape of the product is wider and faster than traditionally packaged lip balms, making it very comfortable to hold and you won't drop it. Highly recommend as an essential lip balm to carry around. And this item, you can get two for almost one. *affiliate link

    Hmmm. I've discovered a mysterious product with the worst branding ever! No name, no brand, no box, but I can't help but be intrigued because I am on a serious quest to find the best sleep cap ever. This product is not a hit nor a miss for me. It wills stay in my bonnet basket, but there are better solutions for people with large hair like mine.

    Don’t come at me for trying on and sleeping in a silk-lined beanie when I have such a large amount of hair. I just felt compelled to try a beanie and a durag to see if they may contain my hairstyle better than a typical bonnet. The results are for sure different, but it’s not all bad. There is a place in my bonnet basket for beanies and durags.
