Hey Newbie...
About the olive oil, I buy the extra virgin olive oil. Since it's best to use that one for cooking and dressings, I just stick with it. It's suppose to be better than regular olive oil, so yeah, do that.
I hear ya on the mayo thing...yuk!!!
Oh, and I forgot to say which TIGI products I use.
I usually use Moisture Maniac b/c I'm so concerned with keeping my hair moisturized. There is also one called Vitamin something or other. I've used that one too. It's lighter than the Moisture Maniac, so that's good, BUT it doesn't smell as good in my opinion. I've tried Control Freak as well, but I think that's geared for a curly hair. I do have the Control Freak gel which tames my frizzies...and that's ALWAYS a plus.
And last but not least I've tried Shine Junkie. It's suppose to add shine and tame frizzies. It smells really yummie, BUT I have to be very careful not to use too much, otherwise I'll look like a grease head.
So, that's that on the TIGI products. I do recommend them...even if it's just for the scent. Yummie!!!
Yeah, I work for Clinique. It's pretty nice. It can be a lot of fun at times, but like all jobs there's a down side too. I think the pros out way the cons.
It's not forever, so I try to enjoy it while I'm there. Thanks for asking. BTW, what year are you? Are you graduating this year or next?
