Does the Aveda pomade smell like the other Aveda stuff?
Nope. Most of their stuff gives me a massive headache. And a rash. This has a really light, almost floral, almost out-of-reach smell.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't stand Aveda's smell.
I like it, for a couple hours, though I am likely being mauled by Loki (and maybe Pumpkin) all the while. Then it starts a headache, even as I find the smell pleasant. It's odd.
Someone set off a glitterbomb at the Y. It was everywhere.

Also, Walt came back with an estimate to fix the ceiling hole and fix up my porch posts (which involves making all 4 of them support the roof,rather than the 2!! and make them pretty and matching): $275. Um YES. I think I might've found myself a househusband!

Sounds like a deal, sara!

Don't know anything about them.
Huh. I just went to google "aveda anti humectant" and one of the suggestions was "aveda anti humectant black hair". Apparently it's a thing. Who knew? And, man, isn't "black" hair (or, as le n would put it a bit more clearly, Black hair) vague as all get out.
For some reason, I was originally told to get humectant, but I didn't like the smell or texture, and since I had so little hair and didn't know what I was doing, I went 180, and it turned out to be just the right answer. And, apparently, A Thing.
Most of Aveda's scents are pretty bad for me, and their lipsticks sting and make me break out. I used to use their face washes--those were pretty good, but I like Mario Badescu better now, and so do my pores.

My neighbor told me Walt was 75% cheaper than he anticipated. Uh, yeah and then some?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I can't believe you just fucking did that to me.
Let it be known that on this very day, I successfully rickrolled ita. Safari wants rickroll to be two words. I disagree.

Aveda: I get the pomade that is in the blue bottle and is CLEAR. The other shit fucks up my hair. In case that is helpful to anyone.

Len, that's what I just said! With 17x more words, but still.
Allyson, ignoring you.
Just lost power a couple times there. TiVo isn't happy about it. But I have to say, in general, they did a good job with that software, because it lets you bounce power without doing much more than losing your place in what you were watching, and stopping what was recording. I haven't had any data corruption as a result. Even though a couple times I've mistakenly turned off the external drives first. Oops.
