In terms of shampoo I use billie goat shampoo and conditioner, it's mild, fragrance free and has no harsh chemicals. I also like the seaweed co argan oil unscented shampoo and conditioner but it's a bit hard to get hold of,.
I've also got little baby soft eyebrows emerging which is exciting, I can feel them more than see them! AND my eyelash stubs are growing too!
Good idea to book that mammogram in early, I've already got my referral and have to book in for early November which will be my 12 months since the last one and surgery!
Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!!
