The Last Chair & Hip-Hop
When going to the barber we seem to avoid the last chair for those that don’t know the last chair is; the last chair is always the worst barber either learning to cut hair, starting off in the hair cutting game, or just simply too old to cut hair and this is there only source of income (even though they would tell you once upon a fade they were the best in the game and I don’t mean this with any disrespect at some point pops you’ll need to hang up the clippers). For many years everyone seems to wonder why we’ve avoided the last chair and why hair seems to be a major conversation starter for most men and the entertainment industry. Well you shall finally get your answer and we hope it makes you happy from your fresh fade all the way up to that slick high top taking back to the house party days with Kid ‘n Play. We do admit some of you maybe young to not know who Kid ‘n Play are but this image should help as a reference just in case you may feel lost or unaware of whom the hip-hop duo are.

mix and match make up for mommas
I am a mom first for the vast majority of moments in each day. At any moment, the school could call and I need to go pick up the teenage, two-legged version of the flu. The youngest could walk up and wipe snot on whatever outfit I managed to drape myself with that morning. The middle one could have a meltdown and need a hug and wipe those tears on my cheek. My husband could come home and smooch the lipstick right off my lips.

I Tried Doing "Project Pan" for 4 Months
I was once someone who wore a full face of makeup every day and now I rarely wear makeup, maybe I'll wear a full face of makeup once a month to every two months. Now that I rarely wear makeup and look back at my collection, I have accumulated WAY too much makeup for one face. I can admit that in the past I bought into trends, collaborations with brands and artists I like and things with really cute packaging, things that made me feel great in the moment. Looking back, I'd say there's maybe 50% of products I either haven't used ever or very rarely touch, which looking at the bigger picture now seems very wasteful of my time, space and money. I hate wasting things and I knew I didn't want to throw out all of the products because of how much money I spent and I wanted get all the use out of my products so I knew I needed to find a solution. Then I discovered Project Pan.

How the Internet cured my lips
When I was young I would think it was because I’d been out in the sun too much, as I grew up in a coastal town in Australia my summers were spent at the beach or outdoors and my surfer cousins had the same dry, cracked lips so I would just shrug my shoulders and go on with my childhood never slapping any lip balm on them.
