FATHER'S DAY THANK YOU

This year I am a little late on the gift guide for dads, but it’s never too late to say thank you to our son’s dad, Derek, even though our guy Luca is away working as a camp counselor and getting paid (yee-haw) this Father’s Day, it’s ok because he’s doing what he loves… and we love that!

We didn’t head off on a big adventure this year, but Derek and Luca love road trips and skiing, so there were a few of those priceless moments. Fathers are so important, and our world needs great dads! There is no rule book for parenting, however, listening, quality time, and being emotionally available are qualities kiddos need…and of course Love. Derek provides all that and more, and I’m so grateful and thrilled for our young man and his gift of a father who is present.

Here are a few ideas for shopping online, keeping it short and sweet.

Cheers to the wonderful fathers, father figures, and male mentors out there, you have touched the lives of people out there, you don’t even know.  Thank you for all that you do, for the hard work you put into the world, and for your strength. Thank you for our fathers whom we loved and learned from who are no longer with us, they too are remembered.

We love you, Janet, Derek & Buster

My dad and I - unfortunately, he passed away at a very young age in 1977. He would have been extremely proud of Luca and our family. My father graduated from T.C.U. in Ft. Worth, Texas, and was signed on to get his master’s degree at S.M.U. in Dallas where Luca attends college, unfortunately, he passed away a month before. It's a wonderful feeling to know my dad is watching over Luca and in a cosmic spiritual way,…I think my dad will receive his master’s degree.

DAILY ROUTINE TO HEALTHY HAIR - $5 WITH COLLECTIVE LABORATORIES

Let’s talk healthy hair and a great deal on this subscription!

Here's a healthy daily routine and subscription that's worth getting into! @collectivelabs mission continues to educate us on clean and effective ways to generate healthy hair growth. Losing our hair can begin from all sorts of reasons and mine was hormonal. Not thrilled about seeing strands of hair in the sink, on my clothing, and thining along my forehead, I began my Collective Labs journey with their serum a few years ago, and in the past year after using their shampoo and conditioner…what a difference! I don’t expect to have “lush locks” as I did in my youth but not seeing it fall out at the rate it was, well that was all I needed to commit to my daily routine.

• Here's how to save money and your hair

• Purchase of a Regimen subscription and your 1st month will be $5, discounted from $72.

  This is a one-month supply of serum, shampoo, and conditioner for $5.

This scalp wellness kit includes our Detoxifying Shampoo, Fortifying Conditioner, and Activating Serum. Their Regimen is designed to detoxify, fortify, and revive your scalp and strands. The product in this bundle works as a team to promote scalp health and growth. It’s 3 easy steps that are a game-changer. We just sent our son off to college with his scalp wellness kit as a preventive. Can you imagine having the knowledge when you were younger about the chemicals some of us were applying to our scalp! I’m thrilled that his generation and younger are tapped into the power of plants, science and learning about harmful chemicals we just don’t need.

Collective Labs combined the most potent ingredients proven to help your hair grow. There are No harsh chemicals, no side effects. With the shampoo, you are detoxifying, with the conditioner you are repairing and strengthen, and with the serum, you are stimulating healthy hair growth.

Note - when the subscription renews for the following months, the full price of $72 will be charged. A subscription renews every 30 days.

Benefits - Free shipping on every order, access to our Scalp Wellness Team, the ability to track your growth and progress on the CL website, and you can skip shipments, adjust your delivery dates, or cancel at any time.

Email me if you have any questions and please visit their website for full details.

Have a lovely long weekend everyone!

Janet
