    Does Rosemary Tea Promote Hair Growth?

    January 24, 2022 - By 

    Having strong, thick hair that grows like a weed is such a blessing — one that many folks simply don’t have, whether that be due to heat damage, hormone-related hair loss, genetics, or what have you. The internet is crawling with so-called solutions for that, however, one of which is rosemary tea for hair growth. On TikTok especially, you’ll find droves of people throwing rosemary leaves into pots of boiling water to concoct a special rinse or spray they claim makes new hair sprout like Disney movie magic (or, you know, like Rogaine). Before and after videos of restored hairlines be damned, the question still lingers:…

    HOW TO GET IRON ON A VEGAN DIET

    January 24, 2022 - By 

    On the the whole, the vegan lifestyle can lead to several health benefits. Part of that is due to the influx of micronutrients so abundantly found in plants, the other part is due to the avoidance of animal-based foods which contain many harmful components such as cholesterol, trans and saturated fats, IGF-1, Neu5gc, and other foreign compounds. While still found in plants, nutrients such as iron are a little harder to come by in a vegan diet. Anemia is a common diagnosis that plagues approximately 3 million Americans (not just vegans) and results from iron deficiency. Not all vegans are…

    Sephora’s New Affordable Mascara Gave Me All the Drama Without the Clumps

    January 24, 2022 - By 

    There are two things I need when it comes to mascara: drama and drama. I much prefer thick, ultra-black formulas to more natural-looking ones. What I don’t like are clumps that keep me from layering a dozen coats to my heart’s desire.

Though I’m consistently impressed with the line’s offerings, I didn’t have high hopes Sephora Collection’s Big By Definition Defining & Volumizing Mascara would deliver everything I wanted. Well, I was pretty wrong about that. The ultra-black buildable, vegan…

    Ten of the best shampoos

    January 24, 2022 - By 

    I used to mask my horror when people told me they washed their hair with “any old thing”. These days, I am more relaxed. Not because it’s less alarming, but because this pedestrian approach is so prevalent, and part of me gets it. Hair washing is, let’s be honest, a perfunctory necessity. And we achieve this with an equally perfunctory commodity, aka soap. But really, if you care a jot about the stuff that sprouts from your hair follicles, what you wash your hair with is important. Because washing your hair is so much more than cleaning. It can make…
