I get up around 6:30 or 7. I go work out sometimes, or I get right in the shower after I play with my dogs. I use Olaplex, which I really love — it has changed my feeling about shampoo. The thing I’ve used since I was little is Erno Laszlo’s Sea Mud soap, a simple black bar soap. My mom still uses it, too. I go out a lot with towel-dried hair and a rubber band. If I use a dryer, which is infrequent, I put a little Dallas volumizing spray in my hair at the roots. I love my Dyson. I like saving time, and it dries my hair extremely quickly. I have this really incredible brush by Snow Fox Skincare. It has metal spikes, which doesn’t sound very friendly, but it is.

If you are young and looking for a budget-friendly way to explore Europe, there’s good news.

A popular low-cost air airline is expanding globally. Southwest Airlines recently announced a partnership to offer international flights by partnering with carriers who operate international fights in Southwest markets. “Southwest is formalizing partnerships with international carriers to expand its network and connect Customers with more global destinations to generate additional demand for travel across the Southwest network,” Southwest shared in a news release. The launch of this new international flight program will take place in 2025, with Icelandair as the first partner airline, and will depart from the Baltimore, MD (BWI) airport. There, travelers can fly on Icelandair to Iceland, where they can connect to a variety of European destinations including Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, Oslo, Prague, Rome, and more. Icelandair is a discount carrier that operates international flights, and similar to Southwest, does not have a first or business class section on their aircraft.  “The partnership will unlock many exciting travel options for our customers, and our extensive network in Europe will open for Southwest customers,” Icelandair President and CEO Bogi Nils Bogason said in a statement.  “As part of our strategic focus on expanding our global partnership network, we seek out airlines known for exceptional service and connectivity.” As an example, a traveler would start their journey on Southwest from Nashville to Baltimore, and then continue on Icelandair from Baltimore to Iceland.
