Hey you. Yeah you! Perhaps it's time to step away from the Cyber Weekend shopping and indulge in some self-care content for a quick mental break instead. What better time to look back at the past month with us and prepare for peak holiday mode than while digesting Thanksgiving leftovers and reflecting in gratitude. Consider it a virtual hug from your friends at EVOLVh!

RECIPES FOR GRATITUDE

In honor of Thanksgiving, our team decided to take the opportunity to share the foods that we most look forward to indulging in over the infamously food-centric holiday, as well as what we're each most grateful for this year.

We like to think of gratitude as a muscle - it must be exercised regularly - so if this post inspires you to take a closer look and give thanks, our job here is done.

Today and every day, we're endlessly thankful for each and every EVOLVher. Here's hoping you all also have lots and lots to be thankful for and that your hearts were as full as your stomachs this Turkey Day!

THE GORGEOUSLY GRAY GUIDE

Each year brings with it a new hair trend, and despite everything - 2020 is no different. This year's trend, however, may be a little bit... unexpected.

Between the new normal of working from home, the lack of hair salon access, and general reprioritization in the midst - the hottest trend this year is... wait for it... gray hair. Perhaps, it’s not entirely due to the state of our world, but can simply be attributed to the fact that gray hair translates to accepting yourself and making peace with the decision to go au natural. Not only does it free you from the monthly grind of spending those dollars and time with your colorist while you align your schedule around your roots, but you may just discover that going gray can be a liberating decision in more ways than one. We encourage you to embrace whatever hair color you choose, and as always, we’re here to support you with the best tips and tricks to rock that silver and still have the healthiest most gorgeous strands ever.
