Saturdays At Shop This

Another weekend with not much going on. That's okay with me. But we are getting lots of snow! So happy that I can finally wear my ski outfit (see above).  Kidding, but it's pretty fab, wouldn't you say? As always, I have links to share with you. There's just never enough time during 

the week.

After five years of using the same shampoo, I have found a product that is making a big difference in my hair. It's R+Co . It's been a game changer. I am currently using the Dallas Biotin Thickening Shampoo, and Dallas Biotin Thickening Conditioner.  Currently awaiting the Thickening Spray. I am sure that Biotin is the reason that my hair improving so.  More about Biotin below.

I have mentioned last Spring that during the Covid shutdown, I lost all of my acrylic nails, including my own nails. It was a mess. I have vowed never to use those chemicals again. But my nails have been struggling. Then 3 weeks ago I started taking Healthy Hair, Skin & Nails by Andrew Lessman. Oh my! My hair skin and nails have never looked so good. The supplement includes a generous dose of Biotin. I'll never be without this product.

My favorite sheets are on sale at Macy's! I love everything about them...the high thread count....the weight, the colors (we use Stone Grey), and the deep pockets. Now less than $100 for the four piece set. My holiday house guests commented on how wonderful they were.

It's Free Shipping Weekend at Beekman1802. I can highly recommend all of their products. But my latest discovery is their facial soaps. I have been using their Triple Milk Retinol Bar along with the Triple Milk Charcoal Bar.  since November. Both have made a difference in diminished pores and skin texture. I absolutely love the soft lather the soap produces.
