The hottest little gift that helps prevent the latest fashion faux pas

by Lexi Petronis | Fashion

I’m the person who wore scrunchies around her wrist in the ’80s and early ’90s, and, as a mom in the 21st century, does the same with boring black ponytail holders. (Hey, hair-mergencies are real and preparation is key.) So it’s safe to say...
