The Smartest Woman Alive

Have you ever felt that your period product, pads or tampons, were not cutting it? Don't worry, it's not you, it's them.  Every menstruating person on earth knows the trials and tribulations of finding and using period products. Out of everything we go through each month, you would think period products would be the lest complicated. Yes, they are uncomfortable,. Yes they will stick to the wrong things, or nothing at all. Yes, its really hard to figure out what you need for what flow. But, they are made for this right? Turns out, they haven't been. Made for, but not tested with. Turns out, period products are not designed, or tested using actual blood. Yes, you read that right.

What Did I Decide On:  Arctic Fox Hair Color  * *yes, I know it is spelt wrong, it annoys me, but the US will just do everything differently lol.  Why it is Awesome: This hair colour is nothing short of amazing, cruelty free, leaves your hair super soft and smelling like some type of bubble gum, it comes in a range of fantastic colours and its demi-permanent, meaning it does wash out.  Why You Might Think Twice: The colours are pretty intense, especially on lighter hair, and while it does wash out, it can take a little while. Shipping from the US, while incredibly quick (looking at you AusPost) can be expensive, so if you are to buy them, best to stock up, as shipping does not increase dramatically with multiple products.  The Story Behind the Decision: We moved to Brisbane in the start of 2020, and two weeks later that pesky pandemic thing hit.
