stop breaking the bank (and your hair) !!✨🤍

when i bleached my hair over the summer, i switched to expensive hair products to try and keep it smooth, but they DESTROYED my hair. caused a ton of breakage, made my hair fall out in clumps any time i washed it, made it frizzy and sooo brittle!!

toward the end of the summer i was looking for something cheap that could repair my hair and stumbled upon the L’Oréal Elvive set in walmart for $8! started using it and saw an immediate difference in not only appearance and silkiness, but length and time i could go between washes! it also smells sooo good and makes me feel like i’m leaving the salon on day 3 and 4 after washing!

i started using the Kristin Ess Hair deep conditioner mask, which added grease to my hair and made it stringy, until i found the L’oréal Elvive leave in/ deep conditioner, also at walmart!! it saved my hair, i can use it in the shower or days later to add extra shine, and i LOVE it!!!

⭐️Overall rating: 10/10!!!

breaking the barriers of ADHD paralysis

If you have ADHD, have you ever been so plagued with overwhelm that, although you have so much to do, you just freeze? That likely is an episode of ADHD paralysis. On the outside, you just look still, but on the inside, you’re going non stop, too overwhelmed to move or make your next decision.

This image defines cycle-breaking as choosing differently, even when harder. It emphasizes noticing inherited patterns, not blaming parents, and highlights it as generational work where healing oneself benefits the child. The background is a purple gradient.

The image illustrates what quiet cycles look like, such as emotional shutdown, raising one's voice, difficulty showing affection, or feeling suffocated by a child's needs. It states that recognizing these patterns is the first step to breaking them. The background is a purple gradient.
