Hot, hazy, and humid weather can do a number on your hair. Frizz happens when the cuticle of the hair lifts up. This is the hair strand’s outer layer, like scales on a fish that lap over each other. If your cuticles are undamaged, your hair will be shiny and frizz-free. Of course, hair can

While drinking can be a socially acceptable part of our lives, the warm weather and activities of summer may have you reaching for a glass of wine or mixed beverage more frequently than before.

In our time, there have been several transformational elections: John F. Kennedy over Richard Nixon in 1960, Ronald Reagan’s victory over President Jimmy Carter in 1980, Barack Obama’s triumph in 2008, and Donald Trump’s shocking victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The citizens of Williamsport have enjoyed the fire protection and emergency services of the Williamsport Bureau of Fire for a very long time — since the time of President Ulysses S.
