Like most people with long hair, I have a million hair ties and bobby pins that end up strewn all over the bathroom. I’ve tried organising them with jars and hooks, but it never seems to stick. I recently saw two life hacks for how to keep everything neat: a magnetic strip for bobby pins, and carabiner clips for holding …
This is a guest post from Facing Acne. In the history of acne treatments, there has never been a medication that has caused more controversy than Accutane.
