Suavecito Pomade

Rating: 9 out of 10



This pomade is fantastic. It gives great hold without being crunchy or looking too wet, which is exactly what I'm looking for in a hair product. 

During the day, my hair has a tendency to "change." What I mean by this is that somehow when I am standing in front of my mirror in the morning, my hair looks exactly as I plan. As the day goes on, factors outside of my control change my hair. For example, I may blow dry and style my hair just perfectly, and then put on a sweatshirt. So, of course, my hair doesn't *like* that I would dare to wear a sweatshirt! My hair then decides somehow to change and curl up in a weird way. However, if I use some pomade on the ends and tips of my hair, it doesn't curl up in a weird way. It just stays the same.

Another thing that my hair likes to do is go in my face. Right now, I have bangs, and they are exactly the length that they will go straight in my eyes. My hair even curls around my glasses to get into my eye, somehow. It's quite annoying, and hair spray doesn't quite cut it. (Well, it works, but doesn't last long enough.) When I use pomade, my hair behaves in a somewhat more reliable fashion. I still wish I didn't have bangs, but they blend in more, and there are no eye surprises. 

I had planned on giving this to my son, who likes to wear his hair short, and use a pomade or cream. There are two reasons that he did not receive this as a gift: first, I decided I needed a hair product for myself, and second, the tin was dented. Now, my dear son would not have minded that the tin was dented, but I felt a little weird about giving it to him that way. He has tried the pomade, however, and he loves it as well! So, there may be a second (hopefully non-dented) tin in our future. 

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Aunt Jenny's Got It All Shop, Wisconsin Dells, WI

Rating: 9 out of 10



Aunt Jenny's Got It All Shop is a really nice gift store in the Wisconsin Dells. I stop in there every time I'm in town. They have good prices on gifts, a lot of really unique gifts, and they have a lot of gifts that are personalized with names. My son had a lot of fun, when we were here on spring break, picking out personalized gifts for his friends!

They also have gifts that are mystery gifts. For anywhere between $1 and $4, you can purchase a wrapped box that has a mystery gift inside! You never know what you'll get, but they are generally a good deal. (The last two times we've been in, a week apart, there haven't been any mystery gifts! The owner said it is the first time since she was 8 years old that this has happened, but I don't know when they'll be back...)

It's a great location, and easy to find. Right at the intersection of Hwy 12 and Hwy 13 (the main drag through downtown). There is ample parking, and there are several other shops in the same building. Also next door to mini golf!

I highly recommend a stop in to Aunt Jenny's Got It All Shop. You'll probably find the perfect souvenir gift that you didn't even know you were looking for!
