CherryReview: Dry shampoo

Left: TreSemmé FreshStart Waterless Foam shampoo, Right: Aveeno Active Naturals Pure Renewal Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoos were something that intrigued me when they first started making more headway around two summers ago (I think it was two summers ago...in 2010?  At least that's when I heard more about it).  Every time I go to the gym, I have to wash my hair because I hate the feeling of my swear just drying up on my hair - it just sounds gross!  But there are days where I don't want to wash my hair after I go to the gym because it takes forever for my hair to dry, and just showering at the gym gives me the hee-bee-jee-bees (lol).  I of course shower at the gym if I'm meeting up with friends after my workout, but it's always been a hassle when it came to washing my hair.  I'm not a fan of the "wet hair" look.

The first time I read about dry shampoos was probably in my Cosmopolitan magazine in the summer.  The one that was recommended was the TreSemme one, so I decided to pop downstairs from the office to the drugstore and pick it up.  I don't remember how much it was, but I'm pretty sure it ranged between $6 to $7 at the drugstore.

I recently picked up the Aveeno one (despite not finishing my TreSemme one, I know, terrible?) for $7.49 (on sale) at the same drugstore.

CherryTravels: Toronto and Halifax in 2 weeks (Part I)


 
A snapshot of my week of dinners (and lunches) in Toronto and Halifax
Bier Markt // Spring Rolls // The Keg // Guu-Izakaya
The Battered Fish // Cut // The Maxwell Pub // Bitter End
Five Fishermen // Salty's // The Old Triangle


I did not bother taking any photos of training catering because it's not really THAT amazing (well it was tastier than Montreal catering)

The UFE was finished September 13th (yipee) and the firm I work for allows for an extra week off before starting back.  Lucky for me, I had two weeks for training (missed them during my study break) before I went back to work - it was like another two weeks extra vacation, since training is a no-brainer (having come back from studying the entire Handbook anyways for the big exam I just wrote), the firm puts us up for the time we are out of town and we have meal allowance.  The only drawback?  Having scheduling issues that couldn't be resolved right away, meetings that were REALLY important that had to be scheduled when I got back (which I'm anxious for because it could change a lot in the coming few months in terms of workload) and of course...not seeing the boyfriend.
