Why I No Longer Need Social Media Breaks || 5 Tips That Can Help You Enjoy Social Media Again

I bet you've either seen an "I'm going on a social media break" or "I'm back from my social media hiatus" post in this past year from someone you follow. Or worse, you're the one who is posting it. Social media breaks/detoxes seem to be the latest form of self-care. Almost all mental health-related outlets will advise that taking a break from social media can help decrease the amount of depression, anxiety, and loneliness one feels nowadays. Shit, even I wrote a piece three years ago called 5 REASONS YOU SHOULD TAKE A SOCIAL MEDIA BREAK. Even though I stand behind the points I made in that article, I shifted my perspective on the matter and I want to share that with you.

The Best Drugstore Scalp Scrub? || L'Oréal Paris EverFresh Micro-Exfoliating Hair Scrub Review

When it comes to my hair, I'm always looking for products that will salvage my dry, damaged split ends. I tend to focus so much on the ends of my hair, that I forget that healthy, beautiful hair starts at the roots! I try my best to be gentle on my scalp and give myself a massage every time I shampoo my hair. But since I only wash my hair about two times a week, a lot of the product I use throughout the week does buildup. 

Sometimes clarifying shampoos just don't do the trick. I use apple cider vinegar rinses (one every few months, everyone's method is different.) But lately I want a product that A) I don't have to concoct myself and B) Gets in there to scrub off the buildup on my scalp. I don't know if its a placebo effect, but I will only be satisfied when I can physically feel my scalp getting a thorough scrub down.

If you keep up with the hair industry, you've seen that the latest obsession in hair care is scalp scrubs. Brands such as Briogeo and OUAI have the most popular hair scrubs right now, but those come with a hefty price tag. You guys already know I had to find a drugstore alternative, so I went out on the hunt and this is what I found!
