Live Clean Fresh Water Shampoo & Conditioner

by Liz Heather in

If I’m a guest in your home (and spending the evening), I will most likely be using whatever products you have in your bathroom. (Is that wrong? No idea.) Most times, these products will be only all right, but once in awhile there’s a gem in there.

I used these guys when I was visiting my parent’s house last month and they were invigorating as hell. Seek them out and see for yourself. 

Get This Ice Pack

by Liz Heather in ,

I asked for and got this ice pack this past Christmas and it’s probably my best gift of 2012. No, I’m not sad. I just know what’s up. This ice pack is gonna last me fifty years. I can feel it.

I used it for the first time a few weeks ago when I was sick and it helped immensely. It was worlds better than the trashy, lopsided, ziplocked bag of melty ice I’ve had to use in years past. 

There is absolutely no mess with this ice pack. The ice stays securely inside, with no water dripping ANYwhere on the outside. And you can balance it on both your head and/or forehead, depending on your preference. You will look like you fell out of an early nineteenth century novel with this in place and it will be glorious. Yeah, glorious. 

Also, the material it’s made from feels indestructible, yet soft. You can buy one for $9.95 here. 

Moo Business Cards

by Liz Heather in ,

This is where I buy my business cards. Why Moo? So many reasons:

  • Inexpensive
  • The card stock is smooth as can be
  • The designs to choose from are way less corny than on other business card sites and/or Staples
  • You can get round edges instead of square ones
  • Most of the designs are two sided

I can’t remember who/what introduced me to the site, but it’s definitely my go-to one as of right now. Also, it allows for this conversation:

“Oh, your business card is great. Where’d you get them done?”

“I think it was Moo.”

And I’m sorry, but the stupidity of saying a sentence like, “I think it was Moo” makes me very happy. 

Superstay 24 Hour Color by Maybelline

Do not buy this product. Why?

  • IT CAKES LIKE CRAZY. Just mad cake-age. 
  • Costs $10 and has the consistency of DOLLAR STORE CHILDREN’S PAINT.
  • Granted, I hate this product - but they only give you a quarter of what the packaging looks like (half of the tube is a clear lip balm to put OVERTOP). And quantity matters.

I’m usually smarter about buying things. Or… no, maybe I’m not. I gotta try some things out SOMEtimes, for Christ’s sake. And this was a fail. The only reason that I even ventured into that stupid aisle was because of this conversation I had with a woman who was doing my makeup once:

Me: “Is it all right to just not use any lipstick? I hate that stuff.”

Her: “What’s wrong with you?”

Me: “I just think it looks too phony.”

Her: “Are those your real eyelashes?”

Me: *nervous laughter*

Me: “I just don’t think it looks good on a lot of people in real life to have lips so outrageously colored.”

Her: “That’s insane. You’re insane. Go buy some lipstick.”

SO I DID. This isn’t lipstick, but a lip stain, so I thought this would be my first step into the realm of possibility. I will now be taking a step back. Just a fucking terrible product.

I would take a photo of my lips right now to show you how ugly it looks, but I don’t want the only photo of my lips on the internet to look ABHORRENT.
