Having prints on hand" really changed my mind from just telling to SHOWING.

Chill out for a second and ask yourself if this is REALLY that big a deal. So you messed up one fade on some tough hair, it happens to everyone. You already figured out the angle thing and are practicing, which means you're fixing it. People act like every bad haircut is a crisis but most clients just move on with their day. Keep your cool and it'll come back to you faster than you think.

10 days is how long my cilantro lasted with the water trick. I change the water every other day to stop it from getting gross. This works for parsley, basil, and mint, but for thyme and rosemary, I use a damp paper towel in a bag. My fridge used to be a herb graveyard, now everything has a place. I probably cut my herb spending in half since I started. It's all about giving each type what it needs to stay crisp.

My local gas station sells terrible coffee for a buck fifty. I tried it once and the taste alone convinced me to keep brewing at home. That awful cup basically saved me money.
