An unexpected bathroom refresh

via goop

As is life, this summer has brought beautiful highs and some challenging lows. In July we dealt with a little bout of lice. My girlfriend joked that dealing with lice is a rite of passage for moms. It was our first -- and hopefully last! -- time dealing with the cringy critters.

After spending a day at a treatment center, getting the whole fam checked and three out of four of us deloused (eek), we had to treat our stuff. Days of washing, drying, freezing, isolating all of our bedding, hats, stuffed animals, etc. etc. It was exhausting.

When it came to our hair accessories, I tossed everything. I ordered all new combs and brushes, clips and scrunchies. I even got new shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I went super OCD/Monica from Friends and also rearranged my bathroom drawers with organizers. It felt good.

My surprising new hero product is the leave-in conditioner from the lice treatment facility! I still use it occasionally.

Here are all my other new favorite products:

Goop Shampoo
Roz Shampoo
Goop Body Scrub
Wet Brush
Slip Scrunchies

Someday I'd love to redo our whole primary bathroom (it could use an upgrade). In the meantime I'm grateful that a yucky case of lice inspired a bathroom refresh.

Here's to silver linings, and never getting lice again...

P.S. I may or may not be dealing with poison ivy now... Please send treatment tips!
