Our year end review show and some predictions of what we think will happen in the new year.
Also, my microphone started to fizzle out during the show so the sound quality is not as good as I'd like. But it's not too bad and we wanted to get a show out before the end of the year so hopefully you can still enjoy it. I promise I'm getting a new microphone for the next show!

What ingredients are banned in cosmetics in the US?What does petrolatum do for hair?What is your favorite hair conditioning ingredient?List of FDA banned ingredients
