While you’re not supposed to wash your hair everyday, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stock up on hair care products — think hair growth serums, sprays, and shampoos. For the next several days, shoppers can stock up bottles of their favorite beauty products at stellar prices, like the Rene Furterer Forticea Energizing Shampoo that’s 25 percent off during the brand’s Friends and Family sale.

Made from guarana extract, this vegan shampoo is designed to energize the scalp and improve hair strength leaving you with visibly improved strands. Not only will it strengthen hair from root to tip, but also leave your hair soft and smooth so you can say goodbye to knotted and broken ends for easy drying and styling. It’s also formulated with essential oils of orange, lavender, and rosemary which help purify the scalp and promote microcirculation when massaged into the scalp.

For best results, apply to damp hair in the shower and leave in for one to three minutes and then thoroughly rinse out. Need more convincing? Reviewers rave about the product’s ability to stimulate hair growth and prevent hair loss. One five-star reviewer said this paraben-free shampoo “really works” and is very “kind to the scalp.” While another fan of the product says it’s “great to give fullness and vitality to fine hair.” 

Normally, this dermatologist-tested shampoo is $34, so we’d recommend stocking up for the months to come while the price tag has dropped down to just $25.50.

Ciara Miller’s Orange Braided Cutout Dress on Instagram

Summer House 2023 Instagram Fashion

The Sumner House season 7 cast photos were released and let me tell ya there were hot. Like Ciara Miller’s orange braided cutout dress. She mentioned in her IG caption that the higher ups urged her not to wear it. But I’m so thankful that she rebelled and wore it anyways because now we know we need a dress like this for our summer house closet.

 

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

This On-Sale Shampoo Transforms Thinning, Brittle Locks—& Shoppers Confirm Their Hair Feels ‘10 Years Younger’

Do you spend plenty on your skincare regimen, yet opt for the cheapest formulas possible when it comes to hair care? Adding first-rate options to your shower can only benefit the health of your hair both short term and long term. Trust me, it’s worth splurging a little more on shampoo for higher-quality ingredients, especially if your locks are feeling thin and brittle. 

According to reviewers, one option is worth every penny for just such concerns: Rene Furterer’s Tonucia Replumping Shampoo. A gem in a stacked line-up of luxury products from the French brand, the gentle shampoo protects against the effects of aging by restoring density, stimulating the scalp and rejuvenating thinning locks from roots to end. Per the brand, users should witness thicker, stronger hair follicles that not only feel revived, but appear more youthful-looking.

Right now, shoppers can snag a bottle for less during the brand’s Friends & Family sale, where anything across the site is 25 percent off with code WINTER25.

“From the moment you put it on in the shower, it feels like it’s bulking your hair up,” confirms one shopper. “It takes brittle, thinning hair and gives it body and form. After a good blow dry, my hair acts like it’s 10 yrs younger!”

This newfound body and form is the result of a handful of fast-acting ingredients: tamarind seed extract (plant-based hyaluronic acid) helps to plump each hair fiber; orange essential oil and vitamins B3, B5, B6, B8 & B7 soothe the scalp; wheat microproteins fill in gaps between hair cuticles for fuller locks; cimentrio complex combats further damage from environmental aggressors. 

This shampoo really does thicken my normally fine hair,” shared a second. “I’m over 60 and my hair had started to thin, especially in the back. Now it feels thick and full again. I definitely recommend this for those with a similar problem.”

For the best results, Rene Furterer recommends massaging the product into the hair in circular motions from the nape of the neck to the top of the head. Leave it on for one to three minutes to allow the ingredients to work their magic before rinsing well. 

Ready to revamp your haircare regimen? Start by adding the Rene Furterer’s Tonucia Replumping Shampoo into your cart, alongside other bestsellers, for 25 percent off with the code WINTER25.

Single for a Reason – Is This Your Case?

online dating fears

SFAR (single for a reason) is a real thing. On a monthly basis, in my line of work as a dating coach, I talk to dozens of clients… plus women who want to become clients. And the things I hear overlap.

Let me be honest and say that this will be straightforward. If I had a dollar for every single man or woman who called me and said:

  1. There are no good singles out there – they are all married!
  2. Men want slim model types!
  3. My girlfriends tell me the horrors of online dating!
  4. Online doesn’t work for me!
  5. Men just want my money or to be taken care of!

And many more. All excuses. This is not the year 2000 when online dating was still in its infancy and the app developers had badly honed algorithms and search engines. This is 2023, and trust me, you can find exactly what you’re looking for.

It Takes Work

So, let’s be honest, the fault is in you, not the dating app. And I’m absolutely not being negative – I just know that over 65% of my clients are now in relationships. Online dating does work – if you work it.

Social media and the current dating culture has surrounded us with so many people. Yet, at the same time I see more isolation than ever before – and I’ve been working with singles for 25 years!

Working it does not mean looking for love in your spare moments, swiping while in traffic or at the dentist’s office, or a quick look at possible matches while watching Jeopardy with a glass of wine and looking at your site sporadically during commercial breaks. Nope. This strategy is a recipe for failure!

The Truth Behind Your Excuses

So, let’s start by debunking those excuses.

There Are No Good Singles Out There – They Are All Married!

They are not all married. In fact, 48% of the population is single according to the US Census Bureau. And let me tell you, I work with men too – and they are looking for a quality partner.

Men Want Slim Model Types!

That is actually untrue. And although some men might want to date younger (which is true for some women as well), the actual stats say that 80% want someone right around their own age.

My Girlfriends Tell Me the Horrors of Online Dating!

Please, please don’t listen to your girlfriends!!! If they are married, they are practically clueless about what’s going on in the singles’ scene. If your girlfriends are single, well, there’s a reason for that.

Online Doesn’t Work for Me!

And, then I hear, “I want to meet him/her organically.” This is not our parents’/grandparents’ era, although in rare occasions you may end up meeting someone in real life.

I strongly believe we are extremely lucky to have so many options, and if you are on the right sites, online dating will work for you. With a strategy, of course. As I said, it would require a bit of work. But it needn’t be a full-time job – you can hire a coach to help you with the heavy lifting and keep your spirits in check.

Example: Trina, 63, a New Yorker, had super high expectations when she came to me in October. She told me her goal was a relationship by Christmas. I told her we’d start by dating with zero emphasis on a relationship. (Of course, a relationship was our end goal, but it doesn’t start that way. It starts with going on a first date, a second date and so on).

On her first 3 dates (which took place all in one week) she was forthright with the men and told them her goal. Then she was surprised she never heard from them. Trina and I had a long coaching call on appropriate first date talk – and she’s relieved as the pressure is off.

Last week she told me about Matt, 66. She’d kept the conversation light, laughing a lot and genuinely enjoying herself on the first date. As we roll into this weekend, they are going on their 4th date. That’s how relationships start – one date at a time.

Men Just Want My Money or to Be Taken Care of!

Ok, last, he’s out for my money or needs a caretaker. With careful screening of potential dates, professions and their current lifestyle, I rarely, if ever, see this. Now, I did see more of these date hunters in the early 2000s but not in the past 10 years. When I work with a client, we read profiles together, and I spot abnormalities in a heartbeat. That is the type of screening that keeps you safe from gold diggers.

One More Thing

Be positive and jump into online dating as if it’s an adventure. Like climbing the trail to Machu Picchu. Or ziplining the 2-mile Sasquatch in Canada. Yes, a bit of nerves is good, but hopefully, more excitement than angst!

Happy dating!

Let’s Have a Conversation:

What is the best advice you’ve taken about online dating? What is the worst? What are your online dating misconceptions? Have you done something to rebuke those misconceptions?
