This may seem obvious but when I am feeling super stressed/anxious and not sure where to start with moving. I make a list and then categorize items by room and then go through the list... I find that once I start checking things off a list it helps me to feel like I'm accomplishing things and when I feel that way it motivates me to keep going. Anyway, if you're not a list person this probably isn't helpful but for me, it's the only thing that helps me keep my sanity and not feel super anxious that I'm forgetting anything.

Dude I'm telling you I have STRUGGLED with dandruff for years and have tried tons and tons of stuff and was about to give up until I tried Dove's dandruff 2 in 1 shampoo. I have been using it for about a month. I'm surprised that even though it's a 2 in 1 it actually keeps my hair pretty soft and smooth and it also has soothed my scalp and helped hydrate it. I have been clear of dandruff for about 3 weeks now and I love it. Plus it smells great almost like green apple but not quite. It lathers really well too.

Only used it twice so far, but my scalp already feels nicer and less sour. Let us know how those two shampoos works!
