Beauty is pain, princess.

I've been using a new shampoo. It's one of those cleansing "no-poo" conditioner-type jams. I tried a shitty low-rent one awhile back and I hated it -- I felt like it wasn't doing any cleansing and leaving buildup and... I don't remember, made my scalp feel weird, maybe? Anyway, I bought a fancy one and actually, I think it's been making my hair look pretty great. (Wait for it...)
However, I have the same sort of complaints - I feel like there's perma-residue in my hair and my scalp feels weird - like sort of itchy/crawly. I'm trying to decide if I'm just adjusting or if I should return it. My hair def looks better than before, in a wild, untamed way (which I like), but is it worth weird scalp issues?



Bonus:

Goodnight Amanda Palmer

AFP has been live-casting herself on Periscope almost every night, reading Goodnight Moon.
I know it's stupid, but seriously, it's become really important to me over the past couple of days. Hearing her whispery nighttime voice saying, "goodnight, I love you," is so fucking comforting, I can't even.
Tune in, if you can. (If you miss the live feed, you can still watch it.)

The '90s Are Back, Y'all.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a '90s girl, but OMG, can we not do this again?
