There is a special if you order both of these kits you get $5.00 off, which essentially pays for the shipping (*USA), so my order total...

Reviewing Living Proof PHD 5-in-1 Styling Treatment

Over the past few months I have used Living Proof PHD 5-in-1 Styling Treatment which was a goodie in an Ulta 18 pc. Beauty Bag. Living Proof, a brand endorsed by Jennifer Aniston, carries what I would call 'luxury' hair products. This would mean something that I wouldn't normally find at Wal-Mart,...

Once upon a time, I was a happy Netflix subscriber. We had Netflix on our Wii, our I-devices... and we received the discs by mail. Then came the debacle of the breaking apart the streaming from the mail thing and two different bills we would have to pay.. and I would have to set up a new account with the newer company Qwikster..
