Last month, I became enamored with RÕZ’s Milk Hair Serum. When applied to wet hair, the light serum maintains hair’s silkiness and definition, even on drizzly days. (Plus, it has such a fresh scent!) There are times I think products aren’t worth it, but this one truly stands out. If you’re curious to experience it for yourself, there’s good news: RÕZ just introduced a try-before-you-buy program, where you can sample up to four full-size products and only pay for what you decide to keep (plus, shipping is complimentary). Which products would you choose? I’m also a fan of this root-lift spray, which gives hair lively volume and refreshes it between washes. Extra offer for all readers: RÕZ is giving Cup of Jo followers 15% off all products, even when using their try-before-you-buy deal, with code COJ15, valid until October 31st.
My aunt Lulu shared a picture of her garden after the rain. Who else dreams of being there and feeling the fresh sea breeze on our faces?
Did you catch the preteen boy podcast on SNL? They totally crushed it! Bro!!!!!!
I’m in need of a new winter coat, and after noticing this woman in Soho, I’ve focused my search on a belted wool style. Any suggestions? This and this are the closest I’ve found for now.
Lastly, the boys enjoy mac n’ cheese (who doesn’t?), so I just pack it with vegetables — broccoli, peas, sweet potato, whatever leftovers we have or find in the freezer. It’s such a simple dinner, and always tasty.
What have you been enjoying recently? I’d love to know. I’m on the final chapter of The Bee Sting and wish it could go on forever!!
P.S. More fun things, and what’s made you laugh lately?
