Yes to Carrots
Listen to your mother and eat your vegetables.
I have a confession to make: I have frizzy hair. Yes, I am your typical Jewish girl that comes adorned with a full head of frizzy curls. Of course, growing up I fought my curls tooth and nail to get the pin straight, shiny, no frizz look. Let [...]
