Beauty Trends: Pixie Cut or Bob...Which Would You Rock?

Butterflies, are you considering a big chop? Well join the club, Texas born and raised musical artist Beyoncé hair has been the the topic of discussion for many of her fans (and critics too) because she recently debuted a new hairstyle. There were a few pictures posted to her Instagram about two weeks ago that got everyone talking hair, it's like the biggest thing since the whole natural hair movement began (but not really lol). I did a big chop a few years ago prior to starting my natural hair journey and I loved how convenient my pixie cut was, it was actually easier to maintain than natural hair is contrary to what people believe. 

Anyway, I guess everyone is so use to seeing Beyoncé with her long/curly hair that they're in shock she decided to change it up, the picture (below) is a photo of Beyoncé rocking a short  "pixie cut". Just a few days ago more photos were posted to Bey's Instagram, this time of her rocking a "bob cut". I think they're both cute! Anyway, which would you rock?

Wellness: What is BPA? & Why Should We Buy BPA-Free Products?

Butterflies, I just recently (this year) came across a ton of information about BPA and BPA-Free products. I know you're like where has this chick been, under a rock? Well yea, I guess you can say that. It was my FunBites Review (FunBites is a BPA-Free product) that got me interested in BPA-Free products and I've been reading up on it ever since.

BPA ( Bisphenol A)  is a non-natural, chemical formulated, carbon-based artificial complex used to make plastic. BPA-based plastic is clear and tough, and is used to make everyday household items such as baby bottles, water bottles, food containers, food packaging, CDs and DVDs. For years there has been this whole BPA-Free movement (I had no idea) because products made with BPA are said to be hazardous to our health due to the possible chemical transfer into beverages and food items.

So basically "BPA-Free" is any product or product packaging that is made without the use of Bisphenol A (BPA). According to the FDA, BPA products are still safe to use and only contain very a small amount of BPA, however the use of BPA in infant formula packaging has been discontinued. In addition, a number of companies have voluntarily decided to not use BPA in their products. My thinking is if I can do (or not do) something to increase my longevity here on earth then I'm going to at least try it. I'm curious though, what are your thoughts?
