Cleaning Clothes: Decoded

Wondering what the little symbols on the care tags in your clothes mean?  Purex show us that those laundry symbols tell you how to take care of your clothes, and in general, show the maximum treatment a garment can handle.

 

Machine Washable. Use Regular/Normal cycle with regular agitation and spin speed. This is the most vigorous wash cycle.

 

 

 

Permanent Press Wash Setting.  Use Permanent Press/Wrinkle Resistant washer setting, which usually has a cool down or cold spray before the reduced spin. This setting is for stain or wrinkle-resistant fabrics.

 

 

Gentle Wash Setting.  Use Gentle/Delicate washer setting (slow agitation and/or reduced wash time). This setting is for lingerie, machine-washable sweaters, and other delicate fabrics.

 

 

I Love Swag!

Who doesn't, right?  Gratis = Cupcakes.  They're both pretty sweet!  I attended Beautisol's tanning event hosted by Beauty Company supported by Beautylish!  I left with a belly full of sugar and a bag of sample swag!

This is an assortment of products that Beauty Co sells in the SF shop. I LOVE trying new hair products so I was super excited to get a bag of 12 hair samples; shampoo, conditioner, straightener, masque... you get the idea.  It's another reason I like to coupon - I enjoy trying new things! Here is exactly what I received:

FeatherLuxe part Deux

I saw Jennifer with FeatherLuxe the week before I left for school.  I was just short of desperate for 2 services:  I wanted my first bundle moved to the crown of my head and I wanted a second bundle.  

It was time for my adjustment. Bundle #1 was down almost 2" from my scalp and I nearly pulled it out with my brush a few times. My first bundle was low, behind my ear and was completely lost when I wore my hair down.  The second bundle added a stronger impact and more colour.
