I often wear it when I clean, too! Versed only offers their skincare headband as an add-on to a $45 order, but I've finally found some lookalikes that I'm ...

Our Favorite Sunscreens
With redheads in our family and my own general propensity to burn in the sun, we take sun protection pretty seriously. You'll always see us covered up at the beach and pool - we wear hats and rash guards (I even borrowed Kevin's one day!) and are lathered in SPF.

How I Do My Nails at Home
I very rarely get my nails done professionally, and since the pandemic started, I've only had a professional pedicure once. I find that even when I've gotten my nails done at a salon (gel or normal polish), it doesn't last longer than a week. For this reason and the cost/time investment (I know it's supposed to be relaxing, but between driving ...
