The best part of a visit to the hair salon
is the oh-so relaxing head massage in the
shampoo chair. Now you can DIY that
pampering experience at home. The Manta
Pulse is a vibrating hairbrush that stimu-
lates blood flow to the scalp, gently exfoli-
ates and ensures even distribution of your
shampoo and conditioner. It does all of this
while offering two pulsation settings that
deliver a relaxing or invigorating head mas-
sage. Use it on wet or dry locks for scalp
and hair health at the push of a button.

REPURPOSE
Trash is a growing
problem, and many
items that are recycled
eventually end up in
landfills. One way to
beat the blue bin blues
is to upcycle instead.
Upcycling is a way of
reusing items to create
new ones. Cans and
containers can be turned
into planters, flannel
sheets can be sewn into
reusable makeup pads,
or a window shutter can
be mounted and used to
store magazines and
