Recently moved back in with my family and don’t have much space of my own and my they are disapproving. Living in an unstable environment right now and I feel like I’m in survival mode.

I used to have a better altar and I want to be able to give her more, but I think all I can do is give her a small, secret one. I don’t know how though. I can’t even have a statue. Any tips?

First of all, I want to say that I’m so grateful that I have one hybrid job right now that is helping me pay a few bills and buy groceries! Yet, I’m still living paycheck to paycheck. Especially, after having to quick my restaurant/hostess job earlier this year. It sucked the life out of me both physically and emotionally.

For some context: I moved in with my family about a year ago after college, because it was the only option I had AND I knew that while I was back home I would have to address some of my health issues (see specialists, etc.) But, without going into detail, the living situation isn’t ideal and it’s actually made my wellbeing worse tbh. I’m trying so hard to find a sustainable plan to move out while dealing with my health, career, AND maintaining a stable income. Right now I’m completely broke, have no savings, and feel like I’m losing hope. Looking into a second remote job maybe, but I’m so overwhelmed.

TLDR: I just need advice/support as to how everyone else is managing, not managing, or has managed to navigate life and maintain a stable income.

My hair has changed a lot from moving from the East Coast to a Desert Town. My hair is SO DRY and I’m getting a lot of split ends even though I haven’t used heat tools since last year (I usually just use overnight rollers of I want to curl my hair.) Like my hair feels crunchy and dehydrated right now.

It also gets frizzy sometimes if I don’t put in leave in conditioner. I have color treated hair and sensitive skin/scalp. I don’t brush my hair wet. I go in with the Unbrush when my hair is 80% dry.

I’m currently using Amika products:

Amika Frizz Shampoo
Amika Soulfood Mask
Amika The Kure Conditioner
Lush SuperMilk Leave In Conditioner

I LOVE the mask and lush super milk. I’m just looking for recommendations for shampoo and conditioners to help and insight into haircare routines that have helped you (if you’ve had similar issues.)
