If you will be entertaining this holiday season, there is a good possibility that you will have both expected and unexpected overnight guests. In addition to having extra toothbrushes, toothpaste and other necessities on hand, I like to make sure that my guest bathroom is well stocked with lots of haircare products from shampoos and conditioners to all sorts of styling products. If you seek to do the same thing, then a trip down the beauty aisles of your local drugstore will prove to be fruitful. This way you can affordably stock up for all of your guests.
