Using household products as part of a natural beauty regime has been pushed on us by beauty experts everywhere, but do any of these products actually work? Blake Lively confessed a family secret to achieve shiny, healthy hair to the website Brydie and it involves products you could find your refrigerator! “My mom taught me this really great beauty tip.
