Dealing with hair loss is a frustrating situation all on its own, but when you add in the necessary products needed to tackle the problem, it can also prove to be a pretty pricey one as well. With so many serums, vitamins and treatments available, it can be difficult to figure out where to start you hair journey. Finding products that actually will get you to your desired results is even harder. With that, we introduce you to Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Strengthening Shampoo. The best-selling hair care item’s formula packs a punch with its A-list lineup of ingredients, and it has the testimonials to back that up. And if you thought this magic-like shampoo would cost you over $50, you’d be sorely mistaken. Typically, this baby would cost you $15, but thanks to Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale, you’ll be playing an even lower price of $7. We got your back (and your hair) besties!

So what makes this shampoo so great? It’s infused with biotin for one, which stimulates keratin production in hair and can increase the rate of follicle growth. Some people take their intake of biotin in the form of a pill, but isn’t it so much easier to channel hair growth with a good lather, rinse, and repeat cycle? The shampoo also provides intense moisture for all kind of hair types—working especially well for Types 3A to 4C natural hair—with a gentle formula that nourishes, cleanses and helps strengthen weak and brittle hair. Those with damaged hair know that having that extra boost that won’t cause further breakage is key.

One shopper shared their experience using the product, with it providing wicked fast results. “I’ve been using this for about two and a half weeks now & already have new growth,” they wrote. “I am 5 months postpartum & have been shedding for about two months now.”

The reviewer continued, “The smell is very nature like & clean. It tingled my scalp the first few times I used it which I enjoyed. I just noticed recently some new baby hairs coming in on my hairline. I’m honestly shocked how quickly this has worked.”

In addition to Biotin, the Mielle Organics find also has rosemary and mint essential oils. Both of which are known to increase blood circulation which allows for more oxygen to be carried to your scalp. When a higher amount of oxygen is massaged onto your head, it stimulates your hair follicles, resulting in faster and thicker hair growth.

It’s very rare that I treat myself to a salon visit for a blowout, but when I do I always leave wishing my hair looked that good every day. Obviously, I’m no hair expert and truly, I lack very basic skills when it comes to styling my locks. Last Christmas I splurged on the TikTok viral Dyson AirWrap, and while it’s definitely a good product sometimes I find it extremely difficult to use. A basic hot brush on the other hand, now that’s a product I’d go as far to say that I’m a pro at (for the sole reason that it is quite literally probably the most simple styling tool on the market). It’s what I reach for when I’m running late and is perfect for adding volume to your hair with ease. And right now, you can score the beauty tool for as little as $23 during Amazon’s Early Access sale. Buy it now, thank me later.

The tool has a multi-vent barrel that comes with flexible, ball tipped bristles to gently comb your hair. Think of it as a straightener but in brush form—only without the inevitable hair damage. Although it makes at-home blowouts super simple, it also can be used to create bouncy waves and curls. To do so, all you need is to wrap you hair around the brush and pull through. And if you’re worried about pesky tangles that regularly occurs with other round brushes, you’ll love that this pick comes with a curl release switch to prevent that dilemma.

Of the feature one review read, “Exactly what I needed, especially the curl release button, makes a huge difference for me. Doesn’t grab hair and helps when styling.”

As for the heat settings, there are two different temperatures (low and high) that you can use while styling. While this product is not recommended to use while your hair is fully wet, the settings can be played with after you towel-dry to figure out your ideal preference.

“For the first time, my bangs and face-framing layers immediately have a soft, natural look to them,” one shopper noted. “I primarily use this tool on dry hair and it works like a charm.” They added, “Wish I had bought this tool years ago!”

Robyn Dixon’s Black and White Plaid Outfit

Real Housewives of Potomac Season 7 Episode 1 Fashion

As I always say, I love a matching set because it takes the guesswork out of dressing.  I especially love Robyn Dixon’s black and white plaid outfit because it’s a set that doesn’t involve a crop top. And while Robyn is wearing the look in early Spring, this oversized top and leggings also make up the perfect, fully-stocked Fall ‘fit that is ready to be worn to lunch with an old friend or even causal holiday gatherings. Just don’t forget to include in in your pre-nup, because it’s definitely worth claiming ownership over.

Ashley Darby’s Metallic Cutout Maxi Dress

Real Housewives of Potomac Season 7 Episode 1 Fashion

Ashley Darby looked amazing in her metallic cutout dress down 200ish something lbs of Michael at Karen Huger’s “Spring Fling Celebration of Life” on last night’s Real Housewives of Potomac Season 7 premiere. And while I’d never hope for someone to get divorced, I really think Ashley can find someone to treat her so much better from what I’ve seen on of Michael on TV. And if she keeps looking this good, it won’t be long before she finds out for herself.

On this fresh, cool, sun-dappled morning, I feel washed clean, full of clarity and determined to make some needed changes in my post-60 life.

A Spiritual Experience

This state of mind came to me through some tough work over the past 10 days. I am just emerging from a time of spiritual self-reflection as part of my religious observances, an emotionally powerful time when the core practice is to engage in harsh and unflinching self-evaluation.

The process is meant to make us uncomfortable, to blast open our hearts and minds, to be a stern wake-up call. And it can work wonders for those of us who have crossed the 60-year threshold.

A Time for Tough Self-Love

The point is to be pushed into making positive changes, dropping those old unhelpful (and sometimes harmful) habits. Changing habitual patterns can be excruciatingly difficult though. Often, a shock is required, an emergency, family crisis, hitting bottom in some way.

For some, a profound religious or spiritual experience can be that wake-up call. But maybe, even without a personal crisis or a spiritual epiphany, you can be your own urgent wake-up call and bring yourself into the piercing, shocking, icy cold awareness that life is short and the time for change is now.

Generally, our female wisdom encourages us to be gentle with ourselves, to celebrate our successes, forgive our mistakes and know in our bones we are good enough, at whatever age. And that is all true.

But maybe there is also a place in our lives for tough self-love, for reluctant admissions of faults and failures, for spiritual discipline.

A central theme of most spiritual practices is personal responsibility. Regardless of what is happening around us, or what anyone else is doing, if we’re not suffering a terrible mental or physical illness, we are responsible for our actions.

What Can You Do Differently?

Whether you have financial problems, health issues, conflict at home, loneliness, shaky relationship with your sister/mother/other blood relative or you hate your aged body – chances are, there is something you can do to improve the situation.

Sometimes even small personal changes can have a profound effect on your life circumstances.

Could you become a better, deeper, more patient listener? Do you need to soften your heart, or your tongue? Do you need to stop taking things personally, to have more compassion for those who hurt you?

Would it help if you could let go of your desire to be right or to win an argument? Can you learn the self-awareness to feel anger coming on and not act on it? Are you sometimes too tired, or preoccupied, to respond to a friend in need?

Maybe you need to practice the art of knowing when to speak and when to keep silent. Possibly your life could change if you could become more disciplined in your health habits. Perhaps you need to learn to allow others to help you.

Change of Attitude

Or maybe the change that is needed is a change of attitude. Viktor Frankl, psychologist and Holocaust survivor, said, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

Could you become more of an optimist in your 60s, seeking out the silver lining, continually reminding yourself to see the glass as half full? Is it possible for you to learn to live in the moment and drop ruminations about the past or the future?

Can you get better at trusting others to handle their own lives without your interference, maybe even trusting the flow of the universe?

Perfection is not required, not even possible. But we need to make efforts in the right direction.

So, along with gentle self-love, maybe there is also a time for wise and stern self-judgement. Life may be even shorter than you think. Make the most of it while you can.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

What do you do to intentionally change habits that aren’t helpful to you or those around you? What kind of self-judgement do you go through to make yourself a better person? Do you think it’s possible to change your attitude to life in your 60s? Please share your advice and wisdom in the comments below.
