Dressing for the Job

I was turned on to Ruche from Tania of What Would a Nerd Wear, because, well, she’s adorable in the Ruche apparel. I haven’t purchased anything from Ruche (yet) but nearly laughed out loud when I noticed a new feature on their website: “Shop Industry.” The basic idea is that depending on what type of job you have, you dress a certain way.

Suave Dry Shampoo: Miracle Worker

So, we’ve all been told at some point that we are not supposed to wash our hair everyday because that is what dries it out and wreaks havoc. While I admire those who do this, I have yet to pull off nice “second day” hair unless I curl it. Lo and behold: Dry Shampoo. Have you heard about this stuff? The miracle product that extends the beauty of your hair between washes? I only found out about this product a few months ago and finally bought a bottle yesterday. Tried it this morning and could not believe how effective it is. Smells nice, gave my very straight glossy locks some texture and absorbed oils. I wish I had this stuff back when I had bangs. Anyway, sans bangs, I guess there are some really fancy $24 brands you can buy, but Suave was under $3 and did the job, very nicely.

She will eat and destroy any toy that is not her galileo bone or Kong treat toy, but doesn’t touch anything in the house. She’s a smart girl and pretty disciplined: once she figured out how to get out of her crate (one month after coming to our house), we realized it wasn’t to ruin the house while we were gone, but because she preferred snoozing on the couch in the back porch.
