I was a skeptic about dirty sodas. I saw the videos and thought the whole thing was gross and kind of dumb. Coffee creamer in soda…? Okaaaaaayyyyyyy…? And then I had a dirty Dr. Pepper at Sonic and I haven’t been able to stop buying ingredients and gear to make them. All the things I recommend are sugar free since these can get crazy high in calories otherwise, but that’s obviously personal preference.

I’m almost one year postpartum with my third baby, and I’m 44. I’ve been pregnant or postpartum or breastfeeding or all of the above since I was 36. Combine this with the traction alopecia of the mom bun, I’d lost enough hair up front that I got a pretty bad sunburn on my scalp. Over the last several years I’ve found some products that have helped me. I’ll also share ones I tried that are popular on social media but in my opinion didn’t make a difference for me.
